Kate Masterson. the poet and humor Ist, thus describes the beginning of her literary career: "I was at school In Brooklyn when I first sent a poem to Judge, signing it Kittie K. It was accepted and pub lished with an illustration, and my cup of joy was brimming. When I got a check for $2, I efferveseed. I then sent some verses to Puck, which was then edited by H1. C. Bunner. They were also signed Kittie K., but were writ ten from a masculine point of view, and, as I wrote a very gentlemanly hand, Bunner evidently came to the conclusion that I was a boy. He sent me some very funny letters, and I re plied, keeping up the idea that I was a very fresh, slangy boy. He accept ed the verses, 'She Stood on the Stair,' and they were published In a Christmas number with a picture. As this was only the second poem I had sold in my life, you can imagine how wildly anxious I was to have it ap pear. I bothered Bunner with in quiries, for of course that was the only poem on earth to me just then. I recollect finally writing him, 'Do you think my poem will be published dur I Ing my lifetime?' "He wrote me, 'My dear boy, I can not say if your poem will be published during your lifetime, as I do not know when you are going to die.'"-Satur day Evening Post. Base Apathy. "Say, Thompson. did you ever notice that I was brutally indifferent to my children?" "Certainly not. You're quite the con trary, Holmes." "Well, do I look like a miscreant who would be only too glad to abandon them to the mercy of strangers?" "Of course not. Whatever put such an idea into your head?" "Or have I the reputation of being so selfish that I would not disturb or exert myself in the slightest to secure their safety from the most desperate danger?" "No, indeed. Who's been accusing you of such things?" "My wife." "Your wife? Why?" "Why, little Johnny got himself lost for a couple of hours the other day, and all I did was to notify the police, hire every private detective in town and rouse all the neighbors to help hunt for him." "Wasn't that enough?" "No. She insists that I am a brutal, selfish miscreant and several other things because I refused to do all she wanted me to." "Why, what more was possible?" "Make the governor order outwthe militia to help hunt."-Harper's Bazar. Able to Hear It. It Is well known that Joseph Medill of the Chicago Tribune was somewhat deaf, although his ability at times to hear what was said In an ordinary tone of voice was frequently remarked. It is related of him that he dropped into the business department of the of fice one day to make an inquiry about something that had occurred to him, and a young man who had been in his employ only a few months undertook in a loud tone of voice to enlighten him. "What did you say?" asked Mr. Me dill, putting his hand to his ear. The young man repeated the question in a still louder voice. "I can't hear you," said the editor. "Oh, chase yourself around the block, you old granny!" muttered the Impa tient employee just above his breath. "I am not an old granny," said Mr. Mdill, turning away, "and I shall not chase myself around the block." The fresh young man made imme diate arrangements to say goodby to his job, but the great editor probably thought that the lesson he had received was sufficient and did not disturb him. A Story of Culberson. In the Fifty-first congress, when Speaker Reed first gained the title of "czar" by his arbitrary decisions, Judge Culberson was one of his strongest supporters, although he gave the speak er no public indorsement, for political reasons. One afternoon while the Dem ocrats were in a terrible tumult over a decision of the speaker and the pro ceedings of the house were very near riot a thunderstorm came up. When the confusion was highest, a blinding flash of lightning and a terrible crash of nature's artillery startled every soul on the floor and caused a profound si lence. Judge Culberson, like every body else, was deeply moved, but was the first to recover. "That was God Almighty, sir, calling this house to or der" he exclaimed in an impressive tone, addressing the speaker. Then, turning to his colleagues, he said, "Now let us proceed to business like men." An Unreliable Adage. "I suppose you lay a great deal of stress on the adage 'Money talks,' " said the man who gets familiarly face tious. "No, sir," said Senator Sorghum. "If you had observed as many investiga tions as I i'eve, you'd know that the success of pecuniary enterprise fre quently depends on the ability to keep perfectly still."-Washington Star. six and One-Half Millions.

AMERICA TO SEND 11,000 Question of Comnander-it Is Believed That Japanese Officer Will Be Su preme-Russia N ill Probably Object to This Plan of the Powers. YOKOHAMA, July 9.-The government has decided to dispatch 23,000 men and 5,000 hor'es to China. The newspapers in indorsing this action point out that should the foreign ers at Peking perish, Japan could not be absolved from blame. KIEL, July 9.-The German Asiatic squadron has sailed for China. Prince Henry of Prussia and the emperor wit nessed the departure. WASHINGTON, July 9. - An allied force of nearly 100,000 men will be in China within a few weeks. The figures are larger than given heretofore, but are based on better in formation which has just reached here. The allies at Taku and at Tien Tuin now number 18,000 men. The reinforcements under orders consist of 19,000 Japanese troops, 15,000 Germans, 13,000 Russians, 11,060 Americans, 10,000 British, 8,000 French and 3,000 Italians. It is learned that the several govern ments desiring an expression as to the number of men required to establish or der in China, recently asked the ad mrals at Taku to make an estimate. The admirals consulted together and the highest estimate seems to have been made by the Japanese officer, who placed the number rit: between 70,000 and 100, 000. The estimates of the British, Rus sian and German ofilcers were smaller. As to that made by Admiral Xempff, the authorities decline to speak. But there is reason to believe that it was glightly less than the lowest figure of the Japanese commander. It may be that it is Admiral Kempff's statement that has caused the officials to hesitate to urge the dispatch of troops to Taku until the arrival of the Japanese division and the Ninth infantry, which will bring the fighting strength of the allies to about 45,000. Upon the arrival of the Japanese division at Taku the question of the officer who will be placed in su preme command will naturally arise. e Japanese corpse will be commanded by a Japanese general, and so far as known here, he will be the ranking offi cer. Russia may not wish to permit Japan to have the preponderating forces and the commander also, and may send an officer with the rank of general to com mand her forces. He will, of course,. rank with the Japanese officer. So far as this government is concerned it is willing to have any efficient officer in command, be he Russian or Japanese, provided the start of the expedition to relieve Peking is prompt. BATTLE BEFORE TIEN TSIN. Chinese Routed With Heavy Loss After Seven Hours' Fighting. LOsNON, July 9.-The latest news from Tien Tsin is contained in a news agency message, dated Friday, July 6, reporting a renewed Chinese attack that morning with 12 guns. The allied forces replied with the guns landed from the British first-class cruiser Terrible and a mixed force of 1,000 men made a sortie under cover of the fire of the naval bri gade and attacked the Chinese, who re tired after seven hours' fighting. Earlier dispatches received show fight ing, notably on July 2 and July 8, when the Chinese developed unexpected strength and did considerable damage with artillery. At the bridge, near the French settlement, there was hard fight ing at close quarter. The Russians,with a Gatling gun, finally compelled the Chinese to retire, though they suffered heavily. The operations, h-owever,were in no way decisive, the Chinese being still full of fight. About 500) men were wounded in the fighting at Tien Tsin. Chinese Fortify the Native City. CHE Foo, July 9. - Ten thousand Chinese under General Nieh appeared outside of Tien Tain on Wednesday and reoccupied the eastern arsenal. The Chinese are fortifying the native city of Tien Tsin. Boxers influence is increasing in Shan Tung provinces. The Christians at Chi nan Fu have been called on to renounce their faith. The French consul reports that the Chin Chou Fu orphanage has been pillaged. An inflammable placard has been posted in the Che Foo native city. The cruiser Brooklyn called here, 46 hours from Nagasaki and proceeded to Taku. The Logan bearing the Ninth regi ment of United States infantry, passed Che Foo on Friday on her way to Ta'ku. Hsu Tung Slain. SHANGHAI, July 9.-A message sent from Wei Hai Wei states that the situa tion is still grave, for the Boxers, al thou h they have been mowed down by the hundreds, still believe themselves invulnerable. Boxer emissaries are com ing south in disguise and enlisting fol lowers. Hsu Tung, the most determined hat r of foreigners in Peking and tutor of te heir appaent, has been murdered with his whole household of 800 prsons while resisting Boxer pillagers. 'i Ping Heng, the anti-foreign admiral on the Yang Tse, has returned to Yan Chow Euan. The troops of Ting Kiang Pu refused to accompany him northward, saying that they would only take orders from Viceroy LU Kung Yi. Tolstol's senue of Honor. At one music party at Count Tolstol's lady's singing displeased the count's boys, and they adjourned to another room and made a noise. Their father lost patience and went after them, and a characteristic admonition ensued. "Are you making a noise on pur pose?" he asked. After some hesitation came an an swer in the affirmative, "Y-y-yes." "Does not her singing please you?7" "Well, no. Why does she howl?" de clared one of the boys, with vexation. "So von wish to protest against her singing?" asked Lyeff Nikolaevitch in a serious tone. "Yes." "Then go out and say so or stand in the middle of the room and tell every one present. That would be rude, but upright and honest. But you have got together and are squealing like grass hoppers in a corner. I will not endure such protests."-Newcastle (England) Chronicle. Would Draw a Crowd. A singer named Gordon once com plained to Handel of the style of his accompaniments, which attracted the attention from the singer, saying that if he did not accompany him better he would jump upon the harpsichord and destroy it. "Very well," said Handel. "Tell me yen you will do dat, and I vili advertise it.

ALL ATTACKS REPULSED Troops and Boxers Lose Heavily In Every Attempt to Take Foreigners' Positions - Legations Protected iy Imperial Troops-Situation Is Re ported More Hopeful. SHANGHAI, July 9. - The Chinese newspapers assert that Prince Ching's troops have arrived at Peking to re victual the Europeans and defend them against the rebels. WASHINGTON, July 9.-The following dispatch has been received by Minister Wu from Sheng, director general of the imperial tdlegraphs at Shanghai: "Two legations in Peking still pre served. All ministers safe. Rebellions troops and rioters make attacks, but suffer many losses. Imperial troops are protected, but meet with difficulty in doing so. It is feared that food and amniunition are exhausted." Prince Ching Protects Legations. LONDON, July 9.-Admiral Bunce has sent a telegram to the admiralty de partment from Taku, under date of July 7, to the effect that there are grounds for hoping that Prince Ching. wiih his army, is at Peking, protectiug th :ega tions against Prince Tuan, his army and the Boxers. WASMNGTON, July 9.-Though fear ful of giving false encouragemedt, the state department officials are bound to admit that there is more reason now for hope respecting the welfare of the lega tioners at Peking. Minister Wu's ca blegram from Cheng, taken in connec tion with the report of Admiral Bruce from Tien Tsin, has done much to en courage this hopeful feeling. Minister Wu says Prince Cheng who, according to Admiral Bruce, is attacking the Boxers, is not only the head of the tsung li yamen. but is also commandant of one of the Peking garrisons. There are several garrisons in Peking, each composed of a separate nationality, and Cheng commands the Manchu force. At last advices this force comprised about 10,000 soldiers. SITUATION MORE HOPEFUL. Prince Ching's Attitude Means the Rescue of the Legations. LONDON, July 9.-The more hopeful feeling generated by Saturday's news trom Peking has been further strength ened by Rear Amiral Bruce's indorse ment of the rumors that Prince Ching, who is said to be heading a counter rev olution at Peking, is fighting in behalf of the legations against the usurper, Prince Than. If the admiral's hope that Prince Ching, with his army, is defend. ing the legations at Peking against Prince Tuan turns out to be well founded, this turn of events will be of the utmost importance, as it is felt here in some such division among the Chinese themselves lies the best hope for the safety of tho foreigners. If the powers san find allies in China itself it will ma-~ terially facilitate the task of restoring order, and those acquainted with the country believe that if the diplomats are able to induce such a man as Li Hung Chang or Chang Ti Tung to send forces to the assistance of Prince Ching, the hordes of revolutionists will disperse as quickly as they have collected and a way to Peking will be opened without great delay. With all due allowance for the uncer tainty in regard for the reliability, the au thorities here feel that the latest messages from the far east give distinct hope. If, as suggested, the native sym pathizers are able to keep the beseiged legation reagonably su plied with pro visions, the foreign co.ony may yet es cape destruction. Special Cabinet Meeting. WASHINGTON, July 9.-On the return of Secretary Long and Attorney General Griggs to Washington Secretary Hay availed himself of the opportunity to hold a cabinet meeting. Te Chinese situation was discussed, but it was stated nothing important had developed. DOCKING OF THE OREGON. Constructor Hobson Will Supervise the Repairs at Kurea. WASHINGTON, July 9.-Unlesa inter national complications should arise, Sec retary Long will not order the battle ship Oregon to proceed to Taku when her repairs have been completed. Upon arrival at Kurea, for docking, Captain Wilde, commanding, will order a board of survey to determine what repairs are necessary. It may be that Naval Con structor Hobson, who is undergoing treatment at Yokohama, will go to Kurea to supervise the repairs. It is understood the Oregon will be retained in China should the international situa tion require her presence. Oregon at Che Foo. WASHINGTON, July 9.-The navy de partment has been informed that the Oregon has arrived at Che Foo. She will start for Kurea, Japan, to dock July 10 or 12. The Truthful Manager.

Thomson says, in The Independent, that when the civil war was practically over he was sent from the camp at Lincolnton to Char lotte, N. C., under a flag of truce. He entered the town and was conducted to General Echols' headquarters in a large upper room, evidently a school room. Our guide pointed out the general, a fine, portly gentleman, seated at a table. I advanced and laid my papers on the table. "General Echols, I presume?" I said. "These dispatches are from General Gillam. Shall I wait for an answer?' "Please be seated," the general said. Glancing around, I saw 10 or IS gen tlemen, all, with one or two exceptions, in military uniform. Colonel Morgan came up to me, shook hands and said: "I believe you and I are not entire strangers." He had been our prisoner a year or so before. While we chatted a gentle man in a civilian gray suit turned to address General Echols. The cold stare of a glass eye caught my attention, and the features were somewhat familiar. "Ah, Jefferson Davis! Are you here, pressed to the wall?" was my first thought. His face was far more pleas ant than our northern papers had pic tured it. A dispatch Is handed to General Echols, who read and reread it with an earnest, anxious lok. Half rising, he passed the paper to Mr.Davis, who read It slowly and then handed It back. "Well," said he, "we have lost a generous enemy." It was the news of President Lin coln's assassination. When They Say "Goodby." Did you ever hear two married wo men take leave of each other at the gate on a mild evening? This is how they do It: "Goodbyr' "Goodby! Come down and see us soon." "I will. Goodby!" "Goodby! Don't forget to come soon." "No, I won't. Don't you forget to come up." "I won't. "Be sure and bring Sarah Jane with you next time." "I will. I'd brought her up this thme, but she wasn't very well. She wanted to come awfully." "Did she, now? That was too bad. Be sure and bring her next time." "I will, and you be sure and bring the baby." "I will. I forgot to tell you that he's cut another tooth." "You don't say so! How many has he now?" "Five. It makes him awfully cross." "I dare say it does." "Well, goodby! Don't forget to come down." "No, I won't. Don't you forget to come up. Goodby!" And they separate. The Roar of Battle. The roar of the navy's four point seven's, their crash, their rush as they passed, the shrill whine of the sbrap nel, the barking of the howitzers and the mechanical, regular rattle of the quick firing Maxims, which sounded like the clicking of many mowing ma chines on a hot summer's day, tore the air with such hideous noises that one's skull ached from the concussion, and one could only be heard by shouting. But more Impressive by far than this hot chorus of mighty thunder and pet ty hammering was the roar of the wind wl:ich was driven down Into the valley beneath and which swept up again in enormous waves of sound. It roared like a great hurricane at sea. The Illusion was so complete that you expected, by looking down, to see the Tugela lashing at her banks, tossing the spray hundreds of feet In air and battling with her sides of rock. It was like the roar of Niagara in a gale, and yet when yop did look below not a leaf was stirring, and the Tugela was slip ping forward, flat and sluggish and In peace.-From "With Buller's Column," by Richard Harding Davis, in Scrib ner's. Ahead on Prayers. A bishop traveling in the depth of winter came to a house of a presid ing elder to spend the night. The weather was bitterly cold, and the bed room into which the bishop was shown had a thick coating of ice on the win dows. The elder waited to see the bishop safely between the feather beds. But when the bishop. half frozen, jumped into bed without stopping to say his prayers the elder remonstrated with him. "You have forgotten to say your prayers," he said. "No," answered the bishop. "I al ways keep 'prayed up' In preparation for nights that are as cold as thi." Natural as Life. Two ladies who had not seen eacli other for years recently mlet in the street They recognized each other after a time, and their recognition was cordial. "So delighted to see you again. Why, you are scarcely altered." "So glad, and how little changed you are! Why, how long Is it since we met?" "About ten years." "And why have you never been to see me?" "My dear, just look at the weather we have had." Sarcastic. Myer-Have you noticed what a lot of new houses are being put up all over the city ? Gyer-Yes, and I've been wondering why they don't put up a few old ones just for a change.-Chicago News.

"You won't?" "No, sir, I will not. I shall appeal to the court of last resort." "Oh, very well," replied the judge. "Submit your case to her mother if yu want to."-Chicago Post.
