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- A The Sweet Young -Thing—But why Should not women enter politics?

BpeeOe 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.

Cantata MUM bl Sto.y la Ntoto. Among all the plrul ’S who tare fig ured in history, legend cr sang there is 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 mance. There are two Captain Kidds— the Kidd of song and story, and the other the Kidd of fact—-Frank R. Stockton in St Nicholas. 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 Transcript 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 Graphic. lon and Weather. 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 tal amount we get a much larger pro portion of what it does give us than we do in January, when the total heat for the whole earth is greater.—New York Times. run From tho Freaoh.
