Painters’ Tragedies.
A Lunatic
By F. A. MITCHEL
A party of young men were sitting
around a table In the cafe of a New
York club, The subject turned on the
marvelous teats thut are said to be
perfornMd by the fakirs of Indiu. A
number of these feats were described.
eanh one nwre wonderful than the last,
when Ned Garland told the following:
“You’ve bit on a subject that comes
very near home to me.” he said, “for
one of my family was operated on by
one of rlwse J nd la ns many years ago
with a result that has recently made
my hair curl.
"During the last war with England—
In 1814 or thereabouts—my ancestors
lived on the family estate or farm, for
that’s all It was, not half a mile from
where we are now sitting. One day
my great-grandfather, Timothy Gar
land. a yuuug bridegroom, had a quar
rel with hl« wife and told her he wish
ed lie might not see her again In a hun
dred yeiiha. Then he left the bouse
with a bong of the door and, mounting
n horse, rojje down to Fraunces' tavern,
where he proceeded to get glôriously
drunk.
"The next day, when ile was sober,
he waa beside himself with remorse
and rode back home to beg Ills wife’s
pardon. He found her lying in a com
atose condition, from which It was Im
possible to arouse her. She bad left
with the servants a paper for him OU
which waa written:
"You hav« Wished you might not see aie
again tn a hundred years. You won’t se<j
nis as I was till that time has passed.
"The upshot of It was that when be
had gu®e down to the tavern one of
these Indian bent liens cume along, of
ferlng to tell my great grandmother’s
fortune mid do many wonderful things.
She was full of auger nt the time nnd
told him she would give him nil the
gold «lie had In a stocking if he would
put her to sleep for a hundred years,
The rascul took her at her word and
performed the trick.
"UeFtfUgband kept watching for her
to come to herself, He said nothing
iibout her condition. not curing to have
It known thut It was through bis
liursbiiess that she hud come Into It
lint she remained ns she was. and aft
er awhile he linked her up In a room,
und since he made no mention of her
she was nt Inst forgotten.
"When the farm was sold the family
vault was retained and the ground un
dernmith which It was excavated de-
Mfndial tu me. When I came of age
u few weeks ago and took possession
of It with other property I concluded
to llispint It. I found a grexvaome
plìu e I full of coffins, some of which had
partii rotted away. < *ue that bad been I
Iliadi' of marble Interested me.
From I
il cri» k In the ltd protruded a paper
I pulled It out and found that it bad
been written In u language I knew
uotliliig about
"I took the thing to a professor of un
known tongues In Columbia college,
ami lie told me It was written In one
of the languages of India nnd 1 had
to got mi Indian of that province to
interpret it I hunted nil over the east
side among the slums for such a per
Min and at lust found one. It read In
English:

“To create without a model Is almost
impossible, While to employ one’irnuM
at once mean to’brvak with my wife.'1
The episode Is recalled by I»r. Angelo
8. Rappoport In “Famous Artists and
Their Models.”
Another story is of Lucretia del
Fede, the cold, unsympathetic, exacting
woman who was adored, married and
immortalized by Andrea del Sarto.
She outlived her husband by many
years, dying nt the age of eighty-seven
In 1570. Long after Del Sarto's death
Jncopo <11 Eni[>oll was one day engag
ed In copying''“Tlie Birth of the Vir
gin" In the Church of the Annunciation.
Florence, when an old woman •oh her
way to church stopped to watch his
work nnd. pointing to the central fig
ure In the painting, said, "That Is my
portrait.”
At elght.v-slx she was
proud to proclaim herself the widow
of the Immortal artist to whom she
hud given so little peuce when be was
alive.
Good Tempered Turtle».
Place a number of different kinds
and sizes of turtles tn a small space
nnd the forbearance which is exhibited
might well be n lesson to man. Big
and little will crawl about, heedless of
each other’s comfort of security from
harm. A small painted terrapin, for
Instance, will clamber solidly over the
head of a vicious snapper, nnd the
chances are that the latter will merely
duck its head or move to one side so
that the claws of the former will not
Injure Its eyes. There seems nt such
times a look of patient resignation or
sullen submission, which would imme
diately change to savage resentment
nnd tierce attack If a man made a hun
dredth part of the commotion. These
creatures appear to be able to distin
guish between “no offense meant” nnd
intentional mauling. While they sub
mit to the one, they will fight over the
other. If fight has not been previously
thrashed out of them.—Kansas City
Star
A Story of Labouchere.
Labouchere’* popularity at Frnnk-
fort, according to his own account ns
given In “The Life of Labouchere,"
rested on a very simple basis. Great
Britain was represented at the diet by
Sir Alexander Mulct, one of the most
popular chiefs to be found In the serv
Ice.
“But I was even more appreciated
than my chief.” be would relate, “nnd
tills Is wbv: Sometimes there was a
ball nt the Aiurt. which we were ex-
pecteil to attend. At my first bull sup-
per I found myself next to n grandee.
gorgeous la stars nnd ribbons, The
servant came to pour out champagne.
I shook my head, for I detest cham
pagne. The grandee nudged me nnd
snlil. ‘Let him pour It out.' This I
did. nnd he explained to mo that our
host never gave his guests more than
one glass. ’So. yon see. if I drink
yours 1 shall have two.’ After this
there used to be quite n struggle to sit
near me nt court suppers.”
