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 co Post. 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 ton Letter 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.
