Aloxnmlor, after looking down from tho dizzy heights of his ambition upon a conquered world and weeping that thero woro no nioro to conquer, died of Intoxication In n scene of debauch or, as Bomo suppose, by poison mingled In his -wine. Ilannibal, whoso nanio can ltd terror to tho heart of Homo itself, after linv Jng crossed tho Alps and put to flight tho armies of the mistress of the world, was driven from his country nnd died at last of poison administered by his own hands In n foreign land, unlnmcntcd and unwept. Caesar, tho conqueror of S00 cities nnd his temples bound -with chaplets dipped in tho blood of a million of his foes, -was miserably assassinated by those ho considered his nearest friends. Bonaparto, whoso mandnto kings and emperors oboyod, after filling tho earth with tho terror of his name, closed his days In lonely banishment upon n bar ren rock In tho midst of tho Atlantic ocean. An Indian Ghost Story. Several years ago r had n studio In Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the walla of my reception rooms and ofllcc wero huug with largo photographs of Iudhuis. Ono day I was visited by six men of tho Navajo tribe who, after much smoking and visiting, made known tho real causo of their call. Di rectly over my desk was a frnmef portrait of ono of tho old medicine men of their tribe, who had Just died. Do Hovlng that a part of his soul was im prisoned In tho portrait else how could it look bo llko hlin? they ubked mo If I would not destroy It, so that his spirit might bo released and bo at peace. I Immediately took tho print from tho framo nnd tore It lnlo bits whllo tho men looked on with silent approval. After thanking mo "they each shook my hand In turn and tiled quietly out of tho room. They did not suspect that there might still bo In ex istence other copies of tup picture or a iiegntlvc. Karl Moon In Lcsllo'H. Sleepwalkers. Many years ago an archbishop of Bordeaux attested tho caso of a young ecclesiastic who wns In tho habit of getting up during tho night In a state of somnambulism, and, taking pen, Ink nnd poper, composing nnd writing his sermons. When he finished one page ho would read and correct It. In otder to ascertain whether tho somnambulist mado use of his eyes tho archbishop held a piece of pasteboard under his chin to prevent his seeing tho paper upon which ho was writing, but ho continued to writo on without being in tho least Inconvenienced. It Is related of NegrcttI, a sleepwalk er, that he would sometimes carry o lighted candle, ns If to give him light in his employment, but ou a bottlo be ing substituted ho took It nnd cnrrled It without apparently noticing tho dif ference. Curious Pictures. In tho famous galleries nt Antwerp aro certain pictures of old masters In which tho Juniblo of Idens Is as re mnrkublo ns tho tochnlquo Is line, in ono picture of heaven tho archangels nro armed with bows nnd arrows, and In a celebrated painting of "Tho Mur der of tho Innocents" tho massacre Its represented as taking place In a city of Holland, Tho parents of tho chil dren nro stout burghers, tho Itomnn soldiers nro Dutch policemen armed with muskets, and tho Innocent Infants nro transformed into solid schoolboys In bulgy woolen trousers and Jackets nnd hobuallcil shoes. Sea Mussels as Food. Tho nca mua'cl la closely relnted to tho oyster and tbo clam. It Is not, however, to be confused with tho fresh water mussel. As n nutritious and wholesome food It Is cqunl to either tho oyster or the clnni, nnd many per sons regard It as superior in flavor. Tho mussels exist in such abundance In such readily accessible places, and they nro so readily obtained by the oysterman'a rcgulnr equipment, that they can bo put upon tho market at lower cost than can either oysters or clams. They are at their best, more over, when oysters nro out of season, though they nro In season nil tho year round. As a food they aro economical ly good not only becnuso of their high nutritive value and digestibility, but because, unlike tho clam, all tho meat Is edible, and, because their shells are thin and regular, a barrel of mussels contains more cdlblo material than a barrel of oysters. A peck of mussels In tho shell will supply nil tho ment required for a meal for ten persons. Hereditary. "And when you grow up," snld the visitor to six-year-old Elsie, "1 sup pose you will get married'" "Oh, there's hardly any doubt nbout It," nuswered tho small miss. "Every body says I am much llko mnnnun, and sho has been married three times, you know." Tho Stono of Infamy. In many Italian cities there formerly existed what wns called "pletra d'ln fninlu," or a stone of Infamy for tho punishment of bankrupts. In Venice ono stands near the church of St Marl; nnd in Vorona and Florence they are near tho old markets. In a day In car nival week tho old tlmo custom was to havo all traders who had become bank rupt In the preceding twelvo months led to tho stone, nnd ono by ono enih stood on Its. colder to hear tho readlnp of n report uf hla business failure and to euduvo tho reproaches heaped on lilm by his creditors. At tho end of a certain tlmo each bankrupt was part Jy undressed, and threo olllcers tool bold of his shoulders and threo other of his knees and, raising him as high ns thoy could, bumped him on tin Btono deliberately twelvo times "in lionor of tho twelvo apostles," tho cred Itors crowing llko coekB whllo the bumping proceeded.

Ancient usage In England has a pe culiarly consecrating effect In tho mat ter of tips and fees. Horace Walpole records tho astonishment of George I. when told thnt he must glvo guineas to tho servant of tho ranger of his park for bringing him a brnco of carp out of his own pond. Apparently everybody in England Is at somo tlmo or .other Justified In demanding a fee unless It bo tho monarch. When Tnlt became archbishop of Canterbury nnd met the queen he breathed a sigh of relief ou nt last encountering n person to whom ho hnd not to pay something, Accord lug to Illshop Burnet, n man used to havo to glvo a tip In order to bo decnpl tated. Ho tells tho story of Lord Itus sell when under sentenco of death for high treason asking what ho ought to glvo tho executioner. "I told him 10 guineas. Ho said, with n smile, It wiib a pretty thing to glvo n fee to have his head cut off." By SARAH BAXTER Lost Bull terrier pup about six -weeks old, plain white with brown spots over both eyes.

Theru Is llttlo doubt, how ever, that Its birthplace was lu India and thnt It is an offspring of n game called cliaturangn, which Is mentioned lu oriental literature as In use fully 200 years before the Christian eia. From Indln chess spread Into Persia and tlicuco Into Arabia, nnd ultlmntelj tho Arabs took It Into Spain and the rest of western Europe. The game was In all probability Invented for the purposo of Illustrating tho art of war. Tho Arab legend upon this point Is that It was devised for the Instruction of a young despot by his father, a learned Hralimnn, to teach him thnt a king, notwithstanding his power, wns de pendent for safety upon his subjects. Tho Grcok historians credit tho Inven tion of tho gnme to Pnlamedes, who, thoy claim, dovlsed It to begullo tho tedium of tho slego of Troy during tho Trojan war.

Jim Atwnter was ono of those lov nblo men who nllow their henrts to run nway with their heads. Ho In herited n fortune, but so many of his friends needed it thnt by tho tlmo they got through borrowing there was nothing left for Jim, However, his credit was good, which enabled him to continue to dross wull nnd bo able to send flowers to his sweethearts. But after his bills had run a long whllo without being paid no moro credit was given him. Then there was n gradual dropping off of friends, both thou and wonion, till Jim found him tolf out in the cold. Among tho girls who had received ninny attentions Involving tho oxpcndl turo of money was Lucy Edmonds, a young lady of Independent means. Sho was practical lu nil respects except In loving Jim. Jim's assets wore reduced to a dia mond ring thnt had been handed down to him from his grandmother. He had shown It to Lucj', who admired it greatly and would have offered to buy it, but she know that If sho did Jim would glvo It to her, so sho said noth ing nbout it except that sho could not rospeet him If he parted with It. Burton & Co., tailors, to whom Jim owed money for clothes, put tbo ac count in tho hands of Miss Stevens, a woman collector, who, being some whnt acquainted with members of tho tipper ten thousand, showed great in genuity In collecting bad debts. Among other things thnt tho collector knew was that Jim wns attentive to Lucy Edmonds. What does the woinnn do but call upon him, saying that Miss Edmonds had sent her ns ono of n number who would mako up a sum for charity. Miss Stevens told a piti ful' story of n widow with a dozen children who needed help and said that Miss Edmonds had assured her that ho would glvo her a nice sum for tho purpobe. Tills was putting n screw on Jim's heart and unother scrow on his dcslro to obey n request from tho girl he wanted. Not having a cent to glvo, ho took his grandmother's ring around tho corner to n pawnshop, borrowed !?no on it qnd gave it to Miss Stevens. Tho amount realized by this device was about half of what Jim owed his tailors. Miss Stevens was so proud of her In genious method of collecting a debt thnt sho boasted of It to an Intimate friend, who revealed It to several per sons, and It reached tho ears of Miss Edmonds. Sho Immediately mado the round of tho pawnshops till sho found Jim's ring, redeemed it and, having It in her possession, sent for Jim. "Jim," she said, "I havo decided that I can't bo happy without you, so will mnrry you since you seem to want mo." Jim folded her In his nrms. "Thcro Is ono thing, however," Lucy continued nfter her lover's transports wero somewhat exhausted. "Tbero must bo no extravagance on your part connected with our engagement." Jim declared that ho wns reformed already. "In tho mntter of tho engagement ring, I desire thnt you glvo mo tho heir loom that has been handed down to you from your grandmother." Jim wns paralyzed. "I would much prefer it," Lucy went on, "to n modern ono purchased espe cially, and by using it you will avoid any expense." "But. my dear love, what will people say at my not giving you n now ring? They will consider mo stingy." "It doesn't mntter what they say so long ns I am sntlslled." , "Very well, sweetheart; bo it as you say." "Bring it to mo this evening." "This evenlngl" "Yes; I nm dying to possess it" "Wouldn't tomorrow do?" "No. Why do you hesitate? Havo you parted with It?" "Parted with It! Did you not tell mo that you would cease to respect mo If I did that?" "Jim. go nt once nnd bring me the ring." "Impossible. I keep it in n snfety deposit vault and can't get It after 3 p. m." Ho snld this so earnestly, with so honest a. couuteunnce. that Lucy burst out laughing. "You don't trust me." moaned Jim. "Trust you! Of course I don't. You hnven't tho ring. You woro fooled by n woman who said I had sent her to you for chatlty. You had no money to glvo her, so you went out and pawned tho ring. And yet you say you have reformed. " "I hnve from tho moment you told mo that you would bo mine." "Jim, I nm making n fool of myself In not sending you about your business, but I can't help It. Here la the ring I hnvo redeemed It." Going to a drawer in an escritoire, she drow forth tho heirloom. Jim stood abashed for a moment, then snld: "Lucy, you are right. I am not worthy of so lovely n girl. I nccept your consent to mnrry mo only on pro bation, if within threo months I am not reformed turn mo down." Jim went to work nnd in work found something to help him to resist temp tation. Ho won his girl and mado n very good husband.
