I Signor Carducci, the great I talian poet, who has recently died, eauxn near having a duel one day according to a writer in Le Cride Paris. He posessed a fine spirit of contradiction and had the char acteristics of a fighter. Once when traveling in Lombardy lie was in a railway compartment with an army officer who did not recognize- him. Conversation Iturned upon the latest literary productions. They spoke of a poem by the author of "Odes Bar bers," which had just appeared. "This Cardicci," exclaimed the officer with enthusiam, "is a su perb genius! The greatest since Dante, the equal of Dante him self." '-Hump!" responded the other. "A genius! That's too much to say. I find him mediocore." '-Mediocore, sir? You don't know anything about it." "Oh,you are incapable of judg ing."1 "You!" "Sir!" The officer handed his card to the disputant. The other smiled. "There's mine." On it was the name "Giosue Carducci, professor at the uri vc -ity of Bologna." The officer, removing his hat, bowed politely, and then both men laughed.-Youth's Compan ion.

The general manager of a trac tion system of a western city re cently received the following communication,together with a five-cent piece: "I beg to advise you that a week or two ago I rode home on car No. 1999,of your Main steet line. The car was very crowded, and the ,conductor,throughlno of his own,failed to reach me. When I left the car he was too far to the front to enable me to get to him. I.therefore,now re mit you the amount of my fare. and beg to say that I would have so sooner had it not been that I was out of town." This unusualoccurence was re ported by the general manager to the'road's board of directors, with the result that,by their in struction,an annual pass was sent. to the honest patron,together with a letter couched in complim entary terms. The recipient must have recouhted his experi ence to his neighbors,for in a little while the manager received a letter from another patron, reading: "In view of the fact that yes terday I neglected to pay niy fare on your line,I herewith enclose a five cent piece. Kindly forward pass to address below. "-Public Ledger: "Everybody Should Know" says C.

Out around the circuit of the Chautauquas,which are now in full blast in these United States, and especially in the middlewest they are telling, lovingly and tenderly, funny stories of the lamented Sam P. Jones. Per haps Jones filled more Chau auqua dates than other man on earth. He was always a drawing card, a Chautauqua staple,and only those,who best knew the man saw through the superficial and mob-catching roughness into the real goodness within. At Mayesville,last summer, the manager of the Chautaaqua after Jone's farewell speech he was making to the audience a few facetious remarks,in the course of which lhe said: "The only particulau in which I am in any wise Mr. Jones's su perior is in looks." Jones arose from his chair. walked deliberately around in front of the man looked at him searchingly a moment and then drawled gently,in plain hearing of the audience: "W'y bud, that's yo' weakest p'int."

Then he caught sight of George Ade's long, solemn face, and his eyes lighted up. 'That's the one I like," he said with decision, put ting his finger on Mr. Ade's mournful countenance. "Oh, yes; nearly every one like George Ade," agreed the young man. "His humorous writings are" "Don't know nothin' 'bout his writin', but I like his face." "Why so?"-curiously.

The examples- cited by Francis Grib ble in his article on "The Comedy of Literary Log Rolling" in the Strand agazine arouse some suspicion as to their absolute authenticity, but are amusing enough whether true or not Sainte-Beuve increased the circulation of his books by insisting upon fighting a duel in the rain with an umbrella over his head. Gerard de Nerval used to be seen in the streets of Paris lead ing a lobster by a string. Mme. KM dener, the author of "Valerie" and the friend of Alexander I. of Russia, made the fortune of her novel by calling at all the Paris shops and asking for va rious articles of dress "a la Valerie." Of Victor Hugo and of Alexandre Du mas the elder the following stories are told: Nor was the great poet ashamed to roll his log even at a funeral. He seized the opportunity at the obsequies of one of his own sons. It happened that on the way to the cemetery the pro cession passed a traveling menagerie, and the lions, for whatever reason, stopped roaring just as Victor Hugo was in front of their cage. His com panion, a minor poet named Pelleport, drew his attention to the fact. "Mas ter," he whispered, "the lions recognize you and hush their voices. The king of beasts is silent in the presence of the king of men." Victor Hugo bowed and turned the matter over in his mind. Then, after meditation, he said: "Pelle port, that was a happy thought of yours. Couldn't you write something about 1t?" And Pelleport wrote a son net about it, and the fame of the mas ter -stood on a higher pinnacle than ever. And finally there was the case of Du mas, of whom it may almost be said that his whole life was an advertise ment. Some one once said of him that his vanity was such that he was capa ble of getting up behind his own car riage in order to demonstrate that he had a negro footman in his service. He certainly dId many things almost as absurd as that in his restless pur suit of reclame. One of his delights was to clothe his noble porportions in a uniform and to embellish the uni form with decorations to which he was not entitled. He even went so far as himself to design the uniform in which he fought-or, rather, did not fight, for he arrived after the fighting was all over-in Garibaldi's army, and he achieved a tremendous advertisement by conducting a well known actress to a court ball to which she had not been invited. He got another advertise ment by allowing himself to be sued for nondelivery of a feuilleton. He was -utterly in the wrong. and lhe lost his case, but he kept the court in roars of laughter while he explained his lit erary methods and the nature of the distractions which had interfered with the fulfillment of his contract. But the best of all his advertisement was attained when the announcement ap peared that 3M. Alexandre Dumas wouhl write the last chapter of a forth coming romance sitting in a shop win dow. for all the world to see how It was done. One can understand that that sort of advei-tisement would suit the authors who are also interested in the sale of hair restorers. They al most owe It to the publice to exhibit themselves in this way, killing two birds with a single stone. But. tor the author of "3Monte Cristo" to do it was surely the ne plus ultra of the comedy of log rolling. _____ John Riha, a prominent dealer of Vin lug, Ia., says: "I have been selling;De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills for about a year and they give better sati faction than any pill I ever sold.

Rex, a thoroughbred Spitz, must per form the painful duty of escortinlg a Icertain neighbor home when she has been calling at our house. However, it is not without a show of reluctance that he does it. Recently our friend missed her escort, and no aimounit of whistling proved equal to recalling him. This occurred several times and it was always in about the shmne place that Rex disappeared. One night our friend determined to discover Rex's little game. After whistling and call Ing she made a pretense of going on. She stopped in a deep shadow Around the corner of the nearest house appeared a slinking figure. Stealthily quitting the shadows Rex crept oul and pieered long and anxiously up the street, whither, as he well knew, hi should have continued to conduct thi lady. After this he turned shamelessll around and lit out for home.-Chicag< |Tribune HIS GREATEST HIT The Batter Was Home All Right, but the Run Didn't Count. "Talking of home plates, that re minds me," began Brick Morse, "of the greatest hit I ever made. It was back at the recreation grounds in San Fran cisco, final game of the series with Stanford, score 3 to 2 against us. "Remember the way that angle of the fence came in at center field? There was one of those wooden drags used to smooth off the Infield. It had been left tilted up against that corner of the fence, supposedly out of the way.

I Just shut my eyes and swung with all my might. I felt my bands sting on the bat. I went to first! Second! Three thousand people were up yelling like maniacs. 'Oh, you Brick! Home run, home run!' I tagged third and went for the plate. 'Slide! You gotta slide!" sounded in a roar like an ex press train crossing a trestle. Some thing struck me a terrible smash on the.left side of the head. 'Oit' yelled the umpire. 'Hit by his own batted - ball!' My big hit had gone to the cen ter fence, struck the seat on that smoother-seat was mounted on old spiral bed spring-and the ball had re bounded clear back to the plater' "How near were you to home, Clin ton?"

They Originated In a Scheme Devised by Lord Stanhope. The general public has no idea of the meabing of "sinking fund." The I term had Its origin in a scheme de vised by Lord Stanhope In 1716 where by certain taxes on the South Sea (Bubble) and general funds were made perpetual, and It was enacted that the surplus should be annually Invested and applied to the discharge of the na tional debt By means of it between the years 1716 and 1783 the sum of - $52,240,000 of the debt was actually discharged. So rich became the sink Ing fund that it excited the cupidity of parliament and the grafters laid violent hands on It, diverting It to other purposes, so that in the succeed ing'twenty-five years only $42,500,000 more had been paid off. The fund got Into a condition ~so wretched that It did little In time of peace and nothing In time of war to discharge the national debt Dr. Price persuaded William Pitt to adopt his plan-of investing $5,000,000 every year at compound Interest until with the ac cumulations the sum amounted to $20, 000,000, when It was to be Invested at' simple interest only, - leaving. the amount of Interest annually redeemed at the disposal of parliament Dr. Price said: "Let a state be supposed to run In debt $10,000,000 a year, for which It pays Interest at 4 per cent In seventy years a debt of $700,000, 000 would be Incurred. But an appro priation of $2,000,000 a year employed as a sinking fund at compound Inter est would at the end of this time leave the nation beforehand $30,000,000" New York Press.
