In 1859 an Austrian pamphleteer
named Telki was shot at Grata for
writing and publishing a book re
flecting on th.e good faith o f Count
Buol, the foreign minister. The
work was published at 9 o’clock in
the morning, at 10 it was ordered
to be suppressed, half an hour later
the unhappy author was being tried
by drumhead court martial, and be
fore noon he had been pronounced
gnilty and executed.
Napoleon gave equally short
thrift to writers who offended him,
shooting some and hanging others
with scarcely even the form o f tria l
One o f the most notorious o f these
judicial murders was that perpetrat
ed at the expense o f poor Palm, a
Nürnberg publisher, who waa ahot
because he refused to give up the
name o f the author o f a book at
tacking the usurper. Later the
Bourbons had troublesome authors
quietly “ removed” by hired assas
sins. A fter this fashion died the
gifted Paul Courier, whose foul
murder on April 10, 1825, aroused
to fury all lovers o f liberty.
Edward Kelly, the friend and
champion of Dr. Dee, had his ears
cnt off at Manchester for writing in
defense o f that notorious magician.
Daniel Defoe narrowly escaped e
similar fate for hia “ Short Way
With the Dissenters,” and, aa it
was, he was three times stood in the
pillory, besides suffering all the hor
rors then incidental to a long im
prisonment in Newgate.
A sorry fate befell John Wil
liams, who foolishly sent two sam
les o f spring poetry to King
Ji a me* I.
For safety the unhappy poet in
closed the verses in an iron box,
and James, who always feared as
sassination, jumped to the conclu
sion that the latter contained aome
sort o f an infernal machine.
When the real nature o f the con
tents came to light the timorous
monarch and his counselors became
the laughingstock of England, and
James in revenge caused the unfor
tunate Williams to be hanged,
drawn and quartered.

M.n Do Womwi'i Work.
Among some o f the American In
dian tribes o f the southwestern
United States, says a writer in the
Wide World Magazine, there is a
curious custom o f men occasionally
assuming the work o f women aa a
life occupation. This, when it oc
curs, is voluntarily undertaken and
seems to be due to a preference for
feminine labors, the man sinking
his identity as far as possible by as
suming woman’s garb. Pueblo In
dians o f Znni, N. M., do their share
o f the regulation woman's work in
the household o f which they hap
pen to be members, grinding corn,
making bread, carrying water, etc.,
and seem thoroughly respected.
One would be quite deceived by
their costumes into supposing them
to be women, did not their deep
toned voices betray their masculin

SKOBELEFFS REVENGE
The laundress was describing in
characteristically tearful tones her
sorrow over a frequently recurring
domestic upheaval.
“ I was that heartbroken,” she
said, “ that I did your week’s wash
in my tears.*

Washington Star.
During the Russo-Turkish war
the day afteV the passage o f the
Danube had been made good the
emperor of Russia crossed the river
to congratulate and thank his gal
lant soldiers. In front o f a long,
massive line formed on the slope
below Siatova, awaiting the coming
of the great white czar, stood Drag-
omiroff, Yolchine and Skobeleff,
the three generals who had been
the leaders o f the successful at
tempt.
Dragomiroff, the divisional com
mander, the emperor embraced and
gave him the cross o f 8t. George.
He shook handa warmly with Y ol
chine, the brigade commander, and
gave him, too, a St. George to add
to the decorations which this cheery
little warrior had been gathering
from boyhood in the Caucasus ana
central Asia. Then the emperor
strode to where Skobeleff stood, and
men watched the little scene with
interest, for it was notorious that
Skobeleff was in disfavor with his
sovereign, and yet o f him the camps
were ringing with the story o f his
conduct o f the previous morning.
Would Alexander maintain his
umbrage or would he make it mani
fest that it had been displaced by
Skobeleff’ « heroism ? For at least a
minute the czar hesitated as the
two tall, proud, soldierly men con
fronted each other. Y on could trace
in his countenance the struggle be
tween disapproval and apprecia
tion.
It was soon over, and the wrong
way for Skobeleff. The emperor
frowned, turned short on his heel
and strode abruptly away without a
word or a gesture of greeting or
recognition. A man of strong prej
udices, he was not yet able to ex
ercise from his mind the calumnies
that had blackened to him the char
acter o f Skobeleff.
That officer, for his part, flushed
scarlet, then grew deadly pale and
seemed to conquer an impulse as
he set his teeth hard and main
tained his disciplined immobility.
It was a flagrant insult in the very
face o f the army and a gross injus
tice, but Skobeleff endured it in a
proud silence.
The time soon came to that gal
lant and brilliant soldier when he
could afford to' be magnanimous.
As the campaign progressed he dis
tinguished himself again and again,
so that his name became a synonym
in the army for splendid daring as
well as for opportune skill.
On Sept. 3 Skobeleff after exploit
on exploit devised and led the storm
of the Turkish position in Loftcha
and drove his adversaries out of
that strong place. On the following
night at his own dinner table in the

peror stood up and bade his guests
