A STORY OF ARTEMUS WARD AND
HENRY J. BYRON.
—kt—.
The Famnna Wit Started In to Have
lone Fan Wltk tke DramatUt, bat
Foss* In the End That He Had Met
His Mateh at ChaMa*.
What fallows relates to the first
meeting otAe late Henry J. Byron
and Artemus Ward. It was at the Sav
age club after cne of the Saturday din
ners; and Tom Robertson suggested to
Artemus to have a tilt with Byrau and,
if possible, draw him out. The genial
showman bad only been in England a
few days, but he knew Byron’s ’’me
tier” and went for him in thisfashion:
“I fancy I have face like yours
before. Did you ever have a brother
Alonso?” Robertson was behind Arte
mus and winked at Byron.
“Alas, I had!” replied the drama
tist, instantly catching the situation.
“He Was a mariner, engaged on the
deep?”
“That’s so.”
“You haven’t beard of him for five
years?”
Byron affected to be lost in rtfltotion
and deliberately replied: “It’s five
years ago this very day. How curious
you should mention it, sir!”
“Well, sir,” replied Artemus, taking
out his handkerchief and pretending to
wipe away a tear, “I sailed the salt sea
with your brother. We were wrecked
together in the gulf of Mexioo, and be-,
fore help came I killed and aty him!
The moment I saw you I recognized the
likeness. He was a good fellow, full of
tender feeling. ”
“I am glad you found him tender, ”
interrupted Byron, also pulling outhis
banfikerthief.
“•But; Sir, I am awfully sorry I ate
him, ” said Artemus in the most imper
turbable fashion. "Had I known I
should ever meet his brother I am sure
I’d have gone without food some weeks
longer. But I was driven to it. and you
will forgive me, won’t you? I liked
Alonzo,” and he offered his ha&d to
Byron, which the latter shook with oor
dality.
“Excuse my emotion, won’t you?”
gasped Byron In his handkerchief. “He
never wrote and told me what had be
come of him. I hope he agreed with
you."
“A slight indigestion afterward. He
was a little tough,” replied Artemus,
“but we’ll not speak of that. We both
suffered. He suffered most. But remem
ber, sir, the law can’t touch me now,.
It was stern necessity, and necessity, as,
you may have heard, knows no law.
But I am willing to piny yon damages
for the loss. About' 1 WMtt would you
think a fair compensation?”
“Don’t mention it, “said Byron, who
now thought it time to turn the tables.
“I think your name is Ward?” said he.
“Yes.”
“Artemus Ward?"
“Quite so. ”
“You had a father?”
“I had. ”
“He was a Yankee peddler in Irisown
country, was be not? Sold bug pizen
and fine tooth combs?”
’’You’ve hit the comb—l mean the
nail —on the head.”
“He died in the black country of
England, did he not?” »
“He did.”
“Well, I killed him. I knew you
were bis son the moment I laid eyes on
you. He was a nice old gentleman, and
I made his acquaintance in Stafford
shire. He wished to go down a deep
coal mine; so did I, and we went down
together, had a good time, explored,
lunched with the miners, drank more
than was good for ns and proceeded to
return to Mother Earth’s surface. After
you have been down a -mine yon are
fond of your mother, I assure yon. The
prodigal felt nothing to what I expe
rienced. We entered the huge basket
and were being slowly drawn toward
the mouth of the pit when I saw the
old rope was about to snap under the
strain. It was a perilous, a horrible, a
critical moment. The weight of two
men too great, and your father was
a broad, bulky man. Self preservation
is the first law of nature. An instant
more and we were both lost. We seemed
to be about 60 feet from the top.'
I hastily called your father’s atten
tion to something—itepkotod him, in
fact, to look down the mine. He did so,
and as I gently tipped him over he went
whirling and crashing to the bottom.
.It was rough on him, but I saved my
self. I ciphered it out on the instant
like thia: He is an old man, nearly
bald, deaf in one ear, two teeth gone in
front, with only a few years to live. I
am half his age, strong and healthy,
the father of a young family, with a
career before me, a comedy to finish for
the Haymarket and a burlesque accept
ed at the Strand. Now, I ask you, un
der the circumstances, did I not behave
ndbly?”
“You did, you did!” sobbed Arte
mus. “I would have acted that way
“l am glad to find you so intelligent
You ate my brother and found him
tough, and lam the assassin of your
dear old father,” continued Byron,
keeping up the farce of pretended emo
tion.- “We are both avenged. Let us
draw a veil over the past and never
allude to these heartrending incidents
again. ”
“Agreed. We>cry quite Shake!”
roared Artemus, extending both hands
and dramatically dashing a flood of im
aginary tears from his eyes. Then he
summoned a waiter, glasses round were
speedily ordered, and everybody was full
of congratulations upon the ready man
ner in which the two wits had conduct
ed their impromptu chaff.—Exchange-

THE ENGLISH NOT PROFANE.
Little Bod Language In London Outaldo
of Petticoat Lane.
Little rough or rude language ia used
by the English. They even fight with
out swearing and get very drunk and
noisy without employing strong lan
guage. They love to chaff and guy each
other, and the crowds and the street
people who drive horses and peddle
goods and bang about the corners are a
great deal wittier than most of us give
them ciedit for being, but they seldom
resort to bad language. I never heard
much of it until I went to Petticoat
lane, and I know a woman who has
lived here two years and been constant
ly about town who tells me that in that
time she has only heard one oath from
an Englishman’s lipa. The worst word
I heard in Petticoat lane was “ bloody. ”
That, however, is the worst word I
cotaid have heard—in English opinion
it is the foulest word there is. I have
only beard one man use it and he did
not speak it. He was very angry, and
he spelled it.
I am telling you this because I know
that at home in America we associate
it with the English and put it in Eng
lishmen’s mouths in our anecdotes, as
if it were a matter of course that it
should be used to give a local color to
an English story. Americans come here
and make use of the word for the comic
value that they attach to it, and yet I
assure my readers that if they tried to
think of any really disgusting term they
had ever heard and made use of instead
they could not more startle or shock
these English ears.
English sailors have brought the
word “bloody” to our shores —sailors
and prizefighters and stablemen, and
only such persons cling to it here.
What we consider a very much fouler
word has a vastly wider circulation,
but is not considered as bad as
“bloody. ” All this is very strange and
requires a native to explain it, especial
ly as "bloody” is merely the contrac
tion of the oath “by our Lady, ” which
Was more or less commonly used in the
ancient days when this was a Roman
Catholic country.
The people who try to swear without
—who in our country say
“hully chee” and “by cripes,” all use
the word “blooming” over here. “I
can’t very bloomin well make you buy
this bloomin thing, but I’ll ’ave a
biOomin try at it, ” is what I heard a
street fakir say to a crowd the other
day. There is no harm in that at all,
and it ia much more typically English
than the word “bloody,” besides being
decent. - **
It is funny what mistakes nations
make about one another. Over here the
very smart thing in report ing-the speech
of us Americans is to make us all and
always call ourselves "Amurricans.” It
may be true of us. This whole nation
believes it But I never heard an Amer
ican so pronounce the name of our coun
try, and yet I’ve got a quick linguistic
ear, which is a thing the English utter
ly lack.—Julian Ralph in Providence
Journal.
A Really Historical Novel.
To produce a so called historical novel
has been attempted by many, but with
indifferent success by the majority, so
far as history is concerned. Alike the
best known and the most successful
authors of this class are Scott, Kings
ley and Lytton. In grouping books of
this type in an order of merit based on
their historical worth, it cannot be de
nied that “The Last of the Barons”
should be awarded the first place, with
“Henry Esmond” and “Hereward the
Wake” bracketed as second. Victor
Hugo’s “L’Historie d’un Crime, ’’which
has been called “the apotheosis of the
special correspondent, ” is a notable ex
ample of a contemporary history writ
ten under a thin disguise of fiction. —

Among all the plrul ’S who tare fig

one whoso name stands pre-eminent in
America as the typical hero of the
dreaded black flag. The name of this
man will instantly oome to the mind of
almost every- reader, for when we speak
of pirates we usually think of Captain
In fact, however, Captain Kidd was
not a typical pirate, for In many ways
he was different from the ordinary ma
rine freebooter, especially when we con
aids* him in relation to oar own coun
try. All other pirates who made them
selves notorious on our coast were
known as robbers, pillagers and ruth
less destroyers of life uud property, but
Captain Kidd’s fume was of another
kind. We do not think of him as n
pirate who came to cany away the
property of American citizens, for near
ly all the stories about him relate to his
arrival at different points o* our sfetfM
for the sole purpose of hiding the rich
treasures which he had collected in oth
er parts of the world.
This could not tail to make Captain
Kidd a most interesting personage, and
the result has been that he has been
lifted into the region of legendary ro

the Kidd of song and story, and the
other the Kidd of fact—-Frank R.

Tennessee Assurance. \
In March, 1796, the sheriffs of the
territory which is now Tennessee took
a census of their own, and as there were
60,000 citizens of proper age the terri
tory declared itself a state, proceeded to
choose a governor, a- congressman and
a legislature, which selected two United
States senators. Congress, then in ses
sion in Philadelphia, had received no
information regarding the action in the
territory until congressman and sena
tors walked in uninvited and announced
that a state had been born, had elected
its officers, made its laws and was run
ning on scheduled time.
Congress was disconcerted and noti
fied the applicants that the sheriff’s
census was irregular and they must
wait at least for an invitation before
they proceeded to sit at the federal ta
ble. Upon second thought congress de
cided to be courteous, and on June 1
admitted Tennessee,nearly three months
after she had become a state by her own
action. This state, whose coming into
the Union was a little previous, was
the third state In the Union to provide
a president for the Union and the first
outside the original 18, and with one
exception the only state south of the
Ohio and the James ever to furnish a
president, and she has provided three,
more than any other state except New
York, Virginia and Ohio Boston

Smart Boy This.
“Father,” asked Tommy, the other
day, “why is it that the boy is said to
be the father of the man?”
Mr. Tompkins had never given this
subject any thought, and was hardly
prepared to answer offhand.
“Why—why,” he said stumblingly,
“it’s so because it is, I suppose.”
“Well, pop, since I’m your father,
I’m going to give you a ticket to the
circus and half a crown besides. I al
ways said that if I was a father I
wouldn’t be so stingy as the rest of
them are. Go in, pop, and have a good
time while you’re young. I never had
any chance myself!”
Mr. Tompkins gazed in blank aston
ishment at Tommy. Slowly the signifi
cance of the hint dawned upon him.
Producing a half sovereign, he said:
“Take Mr Thomas. When you really
do become a father, I hope it won’t be
your misfortune to have a son who is
smarter than yourself.” London

On the Ist of July the earth receive*
6 per cent less heat from the sun than
it does during a corresponding period
in the month of January. But winter
does not occur then in the northern
hemisphere, because the sun runs high
in the sky and its rays fall upon the
earth more nearly vertically than six
months later, and, too, the day is much
longer than the night, so that while
the sun sends us a little less heat in to

do in January, when the total heat for
