One Exception. It used to be told of (.toiiernl Logan, who wns a member of congress at the breaking out of the war, that when he saw there was really going to be a light be seized a musket, slipped out of Washington and walked all the way to Hull Uun, where he arrived just In time to have a hand in the fray. He wore a dress coat, but he stood his ground ns long as any one. The rout was complete, and the next morn ing, a good deal out of breath, he was back at the capitol, telling some of his fellow congressmen what he had seen. "Who gave you this account of the fight?" asked a member from northern New York as he joined the group. "Why, I was there myself," said Lo gan. The New Yorker was mystified. Ap parently he had not heard the news. "You were there!" be exclaimed. "Are the cars running?" "No," said Logan; "the cars ain't running, but every other thing In the state of Virginia Is, as near as I could make out." An Anecdote of Handel. On one occasion Iliindel was caught in a shower of rain and being unpro vided with an umbrella wns obliged to seek shelter In a blacksmith's forge. Either Handel wns In u silent mood or else the-blacksmlth showed no con versational symptoms, for In a little while the latter began hammering nway at his anvil, accompanying his work with a song. He little thought the use his visitor was making of him and his anvil, for It Is said that Han del was listening all the thiie to the strokes of the hammering ou the anvil, which, by producing two harmonic sounds, according In time nnd tune with the tune the man sang, formed a bass accompaniment. Handel, on reaching home, remembered the air and the hammer accompaniment. He wrote down both, and so we owe to a shower of rain the composition known as "The Harmonious Itlacksmlth." When He Killed Ilia First Man. The killing of a brother man, even In battle, Is a painful thing to remember. A soldier of the war thus vividly de scribed his first experience: "My first man I saw but twenty sec onds, but I shall remember him for ever. I was standing by my gun when a Confederate Infantry soldier rushed up. I whipped out my revolver and took him through the breast. He toss ed up his arms, gave me the strangest look In the world and fell forward upon his face. He had blue eyes, brown curling hair, a dark mustache and a handsome face. I thought the Instant I fired tlui I should have loved that man If I had known him. I tell you war Is terrible business." Youth's Companion. A Famoai Quarry. The entire mass of the Monte Sagro, 5,'HtO feet high, which dominates Car rara, is solid marble, (me of the most famous quarries is in the valley of the I'elnicelo. From this were extracted in K(jiii::ii lime the 1.7M tons of mar ble that served for I he construction of Trajan's column at Home.

Made Hi. Own Jail. Among the early Comstockera, the makers of Virginia City, New, were some of the toughest specimens of hu manity loose In the world in those days, and perhaps the most primitive one In the lot was "Hed Mike." The fellow appeared to be equipped only with brute Instincts, but there was human Intelligence of a sort In the back of his head, and he gave an exhibition of prudential forethought that would have Been creditable to a wiser man. Tied Mike" wns employed ns brick layer In the building of a jail, which was one of Virginia City's first and most imperative needs, and he thought fully omitted the mortar and laid a number of bricks dry and loose at sev eral places In the wall. In the natural order of things "Red Mike" committed a serious offense and wns thrown Into Jail to await trial, for even in the early days the Comstock usually tried a man before hanging htm. The next morning the jail was empty. "Red Mike" had made a hole In the wall by taking out some of his own handiwork, and when he went out he took all the other prisoners with him. . , Italr and the Evil Ere. It Is hard for us to realize the deadly significance to an Italian of the sug gestion that one may have the evil eye. I was walking one day with a young American girl to whom I had been un folding some of the tragedies I have known connected with the supersti tion. She took It all lightly and joy ously, after the manner of her kind. and .later, during our walk,, when a saucy : tormenting beggar pursued us, she made the sign of the corn I as I had described It to her, shaking the hand slightly, with 'the first and the fourth finger extended. Then the beggar be came convulsed with anger and seemed almost beside herself, shrieking out such 1 torrent of abuse that we were glad to Jump Into a cab and fly from the wrath to come. The poor creature was not to" be blamed; she knew that once the shudow of suspicion falls It means social excommunication, banish ment outside the pale of whatever so ciety one belongs to. Century. Not Neglected. "The art of letter writing Is sadly neglected nowadays," said the man of literary taste. "That remark," said his more prac tical friend, "shows that you haven't a son at college who Is applying him self to showing you why his allowance ought to be Increased." Washington Star.

Following the surrender to District Attorney Jerome of the gambling outfit belonging to Frank Farrell, "Dave" Johnson and Frank MacDouga It was said by coun sel for the gamblers that Jerome has closed every gambling house In New York city and they will remain closed. The Instrument which made so ef fectual action possible was disclosed by Lawyer Daniel O'Reilly, represent ing the gamblers, to be the Dowllng law enacted at the request of Jerome when he was trying to Induce Jesse Lewisohn to testify against Richard Canfield. That law automatically re leases from punishment any gambler who gives evidence against himself to the district attorney but compels him to give such evidence. Lawyer O'Reilly said: "There will be no gambling houses In this city. The Dowllng act has given the dis trict attorney a weapon which he has used to close effectually every place. That they will not reopen Is shown by the surrender of all gambling paraphernalia. They cannot afford to buy more every time the district at torney takes a notion to make a raid. "Another Important act which would Indicate that there will be no more gambling Is that If thl men who hnve surrendered their gambling apparatus should begin gambling again, the dis trict attorney could bring charges not only agnlnst them, but against their employes nnd their patrons. He says he will do this." Though Frank Farrell did not per sonally respond to a subpoena Issued for him, It was stated that he has promised to return to New York and give evidence against himself. Defense In Smoot Case. Washington, Jan. 17. Judge Will iam McCarthy of the supreme court of Utah, a witness called for the de fense In the Smoot investigation, de clared that there was a tacit under standing In Utah that one senator had been a Mormon and one a Gentile. He Raid Gentiles realized that If the Mor mons should unite they could ontrol and keep Gentiles oft the ticket and therefore Gentiles were apprehensive until they knew whether they were to get Mormon support. The Judge said It was his opinion that too much Importance was attached to the church as a political factor and that as a matter of fact there was little Inter ference. Bank Robbed of $40,000.
