Eronston had an eeprcial dislike for the "dede" fconters, and it was bis boast that in a fair eiicounUT be coold best anything . wearing good clothes and carrying 57 Iocuds of vatic-pate d animnnition. He wae kept fairly buy. The bunting grounds, despite the presence cf Bronstou, became moro pop ular year after year, until finally be bad to be a little more select Jn his opera tions, as there vrt re altogether too many visitors to allow him time to do the w hole let jnrtice. He finally announced that in future he was going to whip no body under the rank of colonel in mili tary life and nobody who in civil life wasn't at least a mayor of a big town cr a president cf a railroad. Ey following this plan he succeeded in filling his time comfortably without overworking him self. Ho was uniformly raccessfsl until one day a party stopped at his ranch and introduced themselves as eastern tourists bent on doing eonie elk exter mination. They ts!:ed if they might stop overnight with him. "Gentlemen." said Eronston, "doit happen that they's a giniral among you?" No, there didn't happen to be. "A judge, uicbbe, or a vice presi dent?" There was not. It was an unofficial tarty. Th only man with anything ap j roacbiug uu official designation was a young fellow who was Portuguese con ml in a teapcrt town down east. He wasn't a native of Tcrtugal himself just a plain American citizen, who had been appointed to the place because be bad the time to attend to the few duties. "Concern in a consul," said Eronston reflectively. "I don't know. I never heard of ich. Doubtless, mebbe, it's a respousiWe an honorable job." Ho was answered that it was. Well," be suggested, "mebbe he'll da Come out here in the yard, gentle men, an tSe exercises will begin." Tbey bad no idea what was coming, but Bronstou explained briefly, and the young ii.t seemed perfectly willing to take bis part in the melee, though the others, terrified, tried their best to argue Eronston out cf it. The desert claim settler made a rush at his victim and found be wasn't there. He had rare folly stepped aside, and as the mountain fighter thundered past him (he consul Lit him on the ear. Then the Portuguese representative followed up his advan tage, and leaping upon the prostrate Eronston battered his head against the ground until he bad worn a hole in the Lard soiL He picked Eroustou up and threw bim out into the road, and then went out and threw him back again. The Portuguese consul, it may be re n arked, had spyit the better part of his life learning IfSw to Los and wrestle, and this was his first opportunity to let liimsalf out. In an boar Eronston came Lack to lifa He wearily lxked about him and said, "Gentlemen, did a dozen or two su premo court judges sneak up while I wan't lookin an tackle me?" He was told that no such thing had happened. "P'r'aps it was a state legislater?" No. it was just a young man who was a Portuguese consul. He drew a sad sigh. "I wouldn't 'a lelieved it." he said. "I had more con fidence iu the institutions of this land of freedom cf corn. To think that a man who has licked governors an stato 'tor ueys an sheriffs cu coneressmen should Le whoojed till he's half dead by a f ar riaer that caa't talk the langwidge cf Lis own furrin country!

The rpeaker of the house cf representa tives wi Lit op that way to hnnt after ward, but when somebody suggested to the desert claimant that here was an ex cellent chance to give greatness a fitting pugilistic reception he said it was no nse. He would very likely whip the statesman, but what would be the good? r-iuce the young men cf the country bad got to prostituting their great talents to the service of foreign dynasties he felt that the country bad gone to the cogs and that there would be no substantial joy even iu blacking the eye of the presi dent himself.

Such cases were more frequent since the introduction of the system of higher education of women, for the ad vocates of this made tbo great mistake of assuming that there was no real dif ference between girls and boys between the ages cf 14 and 21. He mentioned the frequent occurrence of cases of aiicema nnd breakdown among girls and attributed this to excessive mental wcrk aud the lack of healthy exercise.

"It may seem strange to say so," re marked a lawyer tho other day, "but it is true, nevertheless, that there aro men in the city who are getting rich by es tablishing restaurants that do not pay. This is the way they do it: A cheap shop is rented nnd fitted up as a restau rant at a cost, say, of 1 250. Food val ued at about 1 100 is purchased, and some jndicious advertising is done. More foexl is sold for tho money then than customers can get anywhere else in the Ucigbbt:rbood. TLc result is a crowdeel restaurant, though the pro prietcr is losing money steadily.

Of course ihe place proves a failure, and the pur chaser loses his money. The restaurant starter, however, moves to another por tion of the city aud repeats his enter prise. " Tbe lawyer said that he recalled one man in particular who bad started no less than ten restaurants in tbe last six mouths, all of vebich he sold.

" Henry Stevens was a famous purchaser for collections iu those days, supplying Mr. James Lenox, Mr. John Carter Erown, the British museum and ethers with sou.e cf the most valuable old works, aud then by baud's a tale to be told later. He evened the verses iu ques tion. He was a fru-ud of Mr. Pruyn, and a correspoudeuce regarding the mut ter iu Laud began. The result was that Mr. Stevens sold the verses to Mr. Proyn, and the manu script was intrusted to Captain Mooely, who guaranteed that it should reach Chancellor Prcyu iu timo for the cele bration. His steamship reached New York late on tho day cf tho celeLratiou, leaving; Lut n few hours to get it to Al bany, f r tho mission would prove fruit less. The enly way was for the captain to selec t one cf Lis trusty ineu. With this siecial messenger it was sent from tbe steami r aud conveyed with all dis patch directly to the ball iu Albany. Mr. Piuyn wa3 all expectant when, during the exercises, bo was called from the LalL Thorgh he was gone only a moment, ail iuitrest in what was goicg en upon the st.igo was lost for the time being. Another swing cf the doer, and Mr. Pruyn entered, waving aloft the manuscript and exclaiming, "It is here!" With exultant delight and amid cries cf " 'Auld Lang i'yuo' iswithusl" Chancellor Pruyu advanced to tho stage and read tbe poem through. Hardly could the peMplo bo prevented from breaking iu upou bim, and when it was proposed to sing it through enthusiasm knew uo btiuu.ls. Never did a chorus so willingly lend aid, and tho familiar air swelled forth iu mighty volume. The chi risbed page was bound within Russi l leather cove rs, and with it was placed a letter to Dr. Richmond from Burns, elated Fei). 7, 17SS. proving tho identity of tbo writing iu the poem and also the let;ir written to Chancellor Pruyu by H; ury Steven3 when sending the poem to l.im. Aa Actor'a Seech. T!.3 oratorical and speechmakiug balk cu the part of some cf the stage lun.in::ties etteu leads to striking if not ridier.luus results.

To bo called cu for a speech wbeu robed ia such habiliments would be sufficient to disconcert any body, including the actor. Jcromo Sykes, when with the Bostoui.uis, was called upou for a speech in Philadelphia under p:culiar circumstances. Tho finale of the last act of " Prince Auauias' found Sykes and McDonald sitting oil n throne, Sykes smoking a cigarette, robed iu n Roman toga of green with lavender drapery thrown over his shoulder aud a papier inacbe crown on his head. Imag ine the consternation of the comedian garbed thus to have an audience set r.p a cry for a speech. Sykes squirmed, while McDonald said, "Go ahead, Jer ome; say something. " Sykes ambled dowu to tbe footlights and said : "Ladies aud gentlemen, Mr. McDonald, my compatriot who sits up there, informed me just a minute ago that be bad a neat little spec h prepared that he'd like to have a chance to try ou tbe audience. I hope you'll give him a chance- " YVhereupcn McDonald looked silly, and Sykes was never again prompteel to "go ahad and say something." New Yolk Telegram. The UaJtlan Ceneral'a Claaa Eye.
