"I was tho first northern mnu to
plant cotton in Arkansas after the wnr.
Tho state had declared for tho Union
early In 1804, bnt there was plenty of
lawless secenHiouiNm about, and a north
erner's lifo and property were nono too
snfo. Before I had been long at my
planting I got a notice from somo of my
secessionist friends that I must stop op
erations or leave the district if I had
any regard for my lifo in short, they
Have mo to understand that if they
caught me they would string mo up to
tho nearest tree as sure as my name was
Jim Roberts. Now, I didn't intend to
stop planting, and I didn't intend to be
hanged, so I went nhend nml told them
they could hang me if they could cntch
mo.
"About a mouth after that I was rid
ing across country one afternoon to got
a lit t lo business douo in tho nearest
town. As I entered a lonely picco of
road a dozen men jumped out of tho
woods, pointed their guns nt my bend
and ordered mo to halt mid 'dismount.
I saw I could do nothing but surrender
at discretion, so I canto down from my
borso mid wns mnrrhed off in silence.
Iu a few minutes wo turned into a Inno
that led deeper into the woods mid kept
ou until wo cnino to a little clearing.
Ouo of my friends brought out n rope,
slung ono end of it over tho limb of a
convenient tree and had tho other end
slipkuotted nrouud my nock in a jiffy.
"Probably uouoof you lias ever felt a
hangman's rope around his nock, so you
can't appreciate tho statu of my feelings
at that timo. I'll toll you, I felt pretty
serious and thought my lease of lifo bud
run out for oertniu. Hut a man clings
to lifo at snob, times, and all at once I
had a happy thought I remembered
that I had a packago of excellent cigars
in my pocket, and I drew it ont
" 'Gentlemen,' I said, with as mnch
coolness as I could master. 'I know
that I have but n few cninutes more to
live. I want to ask one favor. Give me
timo to smoke out a cigar before you
wing mo into eternity. Will yoa join
me? Yoa will find them most excel
lent' "My captors grimly assented, and we
lighted our 'weeds' together. Mo one
said m word. Weil, boys, I made that
cigar bold out, yoa may depend. Bnt it
would burn. Little by little the ash be
gan to get longer and drop off until
there was just so mnch left " And the
captain hold np his smoking stump,
measuring its small remainder critical
ly with his finger.
" 'Well, thought I to myself, 'here
goes for a few mora puffs anyway.'
and I was just getting the very lost of
thorn when we heard a horse coming
through the trees. A fine looking follow
rode np, who seemed to be a sort of
commander of the company. 'Hello,
boys I' be called out, 'who've yon got
here?' 'We've got Roberts, and we're
going to hang him,' said they. 'All
right, ' said the officer and came over to
have a look at me.
"Now, I had on my watch chain this
little badge here," and the captain
touched jeweled monogram of gold
that hung to bis breast "I have always
worn it there and expect to as long as I
live. My ooat was open, and as tho Con
federate came np his eye caught the
badge. Well, sirs, he turned all aorta of
colors, and leauing olose to my ear

the good old Gamma grip, given with

It is usually snpposcd by tho lay
reader thot tho greatest speeches mado
in congress aro the result of long prepa
ration mid aro delivered from voiumi
nons notes. This is not always correct.
Tho preparation may lm all right, bnt
in many cases notes do not exist at all.
This may bo illustrated from a littlo
conversation I hud with ex-Congressman
John M. Fnrqnhnr. Ho was booked to
spenk at a reunion of veterans. Half mi
hour beforo he wns announced to tako
tho platform I approached and said:
"Mr. Farquhar, I shall bo glad to get
an advance copy of your speech. "
"My dear sir, " ho replied, "I never
wroto a speech in my life and never
shall. I never spoko from notes but once
in my life. That was when I was in
congress, and my speech occupied over
four hours. My notes consisted of five
words scribbled on a piece of paper. I
have kept that piece of paper, and when
I have joined the majority it may be
considered an interesting souvenir to
somebody. "

KYRLE BELLEW'S VANITY.
How It Wh Onee Madly Iiiaeoncprted bran
American Olrl.
There had been lively discussions
some yenrs ago over a then seemingly
important question theatrically, and in
deed socially, "Was or was not Kyrlo
Bellow possessed of great vanity?"
I believe the matter has never been
definitely settled, though in an individ
ual instance I recall it would seem there
was valid ground for a decision in tbo
affirmative.
Tho occasion was an informal "even
ing" nt Mrs. Lester Wallack's, and
gathered about one of the tables were
two or threo young ladies, Mr. Bellow
and other men. Bellow bad somo bits of
paper in his hands, from which ho waa
idly fashioning littlo boats. "I hear,"
be drawled, addressing no ono in par
ticular, "that your American navy ia
badly in need of ships. I propose to
remedy tlio trouble by presenting yon
with a few." One girl spoke up quickiy
in slightly sarcastic vein, "I am sure
wo all render sincere thanks in tho
name of tlio American navy."
Tho notor favored her by an especially
comprehensive glance, and finishing his
liont penciled a few lines on it and
rather patronizingly toss;d it over to
her.
The girl picked tho boat up slowly
(this was the first occasion she had met
Mr. Bellow) and read: "My love to you.
Kyrlo Bel lew." A rather vivid flush
overspread her faco, but looking tha
young man steadily in the eyes she said
in tones sufficiently clear for compre
hension, "Tho sentiment inscribed hero
(indicating the paper boat) is surely too
much of an honor for any one woman
to aspire to; so, with your permission,
Mr. Bellow, I will take it home, rafflo
it and send yoa the proceeds. " She
then row, bowed and left the table, at
the same time leaving Mr. Bellew suffi
ciently disconcerted to bite bis lips and
permit his brow the shadow of a frown.

The following affidavit was filed in
oourt of common pleas in Dublin in
1823: "Aud this deponent farther saith
that, on arriving at the house of the
said defendant, situate in the county of
Oalway aforesaid, for the purpose of
personally serving him with the said
writ, he, the said deponent, knocked
there several times at the outer, com
monly called the hall door, but could
not obtain admittance, whereupon this
deponent was proceeding to knock a
fourth time, when a man, to this depo
nent unknown, holding in his hands a
musket, or blunderbuss, loaded with
balls or slugs, as this deponent has sinco
heard and verily believes, appeared at
one of the upper windows of the said
house, and presenting laid musket, or
blunderbuss, at this deponent, threaten

stantly retire he would send his (the de
