friET THEIR MATCHES
Two Californian* Who Learned th* Fair
RfjulatloM a Moment Late.
Frank Happeraberg, the sculptor, and
jim Yung, the restaurateur, were out
viewing the remains of the Midwinter I
fair a few <la T 8 ag0 ’ when both fonn(l
themselves with cigars and without
mat’ aes.
“Ah, I have it,” remarke-’ Ynng
“Come over to the Manufactures build
jug I have a friend there who has a
match exhibit, and we can get what we
want. ”
They walked to the booth, and as the
proprietor wasn’t there Jim took the
liberty of helping himself to the great
pile of wr.x matches.
“Take all you want, Frank,” ho re
marked. ‘‘He’s got a wagouload here
and don’t want them.”
Happeraberg .iueiiced filling his I
pockets. “I’ll nee.l some at my studio, ”*i
and he filled his trousers pockets.
“Ought to have some at my room, too,” I
and his vest pockets were loaded. “We i
always need them on my naphtha
launch,” and his coat pockets com-'
menced to bulge.
“Guess I'll take some home. ” remark- |
ed Jim as he commenced loading his ■
clothes. “A few wouldn’t come amiss
at the restaurant either. ’ ’
Then they walked out looking like a
pair of smugglers loaded for a customs
officer. At the door they met the owner
of the booth. Happersborg had been
scratching matches on his trousers the
whole length of the building, but they
wouldn’t light. Yung had also worn a
slick streak on his pantaloons.
“What’s the matter with these
matches?” he inquired of the exhibitor.
“What matches?”
“Why, yours. We heiped ourselves
to a box or two, as yon weren’t there. ’’
“Oh, there is no phosphorus on
them. The fair managers wouldn’t al
low genuine matches in the building.
Those are just painted wax. ”
Yung and Happersberg stole down to
Stow lake and unloaded. —San Francis

HUMAN COMEDY IN STONE.
The Basts Which Will Adorn the New Li
brary Buildings at Washington.
Nine busts in granite have been fin
ished for the exterior decoration of the
new library of congress in Washington.
The worthies who first come to the front
are Walter Scott, Dante, Demosthenes,
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emerson, Irving,
Goethe, Ecajamin Franklin and Ma
caulay.
Judging by newapaper cuts, a great
variety of expression has been obtained
by the respective artists who have made
these mine busts.
Walter Scott has the intent, forward
gaze of a college sprinter waiting for
the word “go. ” Dante looks as if Dr.
Chauncey M. Depew had just refused to
accommodate him with a pass to Buffa
lo. The model who sat for Demosthenes
was Puck’s Weary Waggles. Benjamin
Franklin is slyly chuckling’over his suc
cess in lodging a big charge of electrici
ty in Nathaniel Hawthorne's back hair.
Macaulay has put on a beautifully and
symmetrically curled wig. Ralph Wal
do Emerson has got the railroad pass
■which D; ute missed. Washington Irv
ing is listening to the Hon. Amos J.
'Cummings’ latest and best anecdote, and
•Goethe has just caught -through his
alert left ear an invitation to drink
from a man whom his soul loathes.
For picturesque animation the work
of the seven sculptors seems meritorious.
If this is cnly a beginning, the fr;ont of
tho new library buildings bids fair to
be a human comedy in stone. The ap
pearance of the second nine will be
waited with great interest—Washing

SUPERSTITIOUS RUSSIA.
The Cruel Murder cf.V. onsm Supposed to
Be the -Cholera De* 51.”
Another form which the devil as
sumes in Russia pretty often of late is
that of the cholera, who, of course, is a
female. In the district of Barnaul the
other day the peasants were determined
to make short work of tbe “cunning
one” in that odious role of his. They
clubbed together and lay in wait. One
day they descried tne spirit -of evil on
his way to kill people w ith The terrible
epidemic. He was riding in a taiantas
—a sort of springless cart covered with i
canvas—disguised in the form of a fe
male.
The watchman refused to .allow the
tarantass to enter the vill tga of Pr::s
loukha. The woman inside protested,
but had to turn back. The peasants as
sembled, gave chase to the taraniass.
surrounded it and called out to the
“cholera devil” to disappear. The poor
woman said she was human like them
selves and could not vanish miraculous
ly, but they shouted, prayed and cles r 'd
around. A few shots were heard, fol
lowed by a piteous moan and then a
deafening shout of triumph: “Pray to
God, brothers, and thank him. We
have killed the cholera.” The woman's
name was Kondraticff. Her corpse w»
not allowed into the village.—London
Telegraph.
Tlio Emperor and the Taehta.
Emperor William does not sympa
thize v. nil American ambition to yacht
in English waters, says an American,
writing from London. Nobody was
more pleased than he when his royal
uncle’s yacht beat the Vigilant. Even
the London newspapers felt called upon
to explain that the kaiser’s visit was
purely personal and that his social pleas
ures or shortcomings among the visit
ors at Cowes were solelv his private
affair.
The Browning Slab.
rhe slab to cover the grave of Robert
'■rowning in Westminster abbey has
just been completed in Venice. It is of
die oriental porphyry of which the poet
"as particularly fond. It has been put
111,0 a frame of Sienna marble, and the
"hole, though rich, is of the greatest
simplicity. The inscription will consist
fuily of the name ami the dates of birth
®nd death, witli an English rose at tire
head and a Florentine lily below.
