"I once saw President Harrison in a very undignified position," said John O. , Hunter, an Indianapolis traveling man. "Indianapolis was one of the first cities afflicted by the roller skating craze. A young man named Fenton, living there, was the inventor of the contrivance, and he soon had the city wild. Russell caught the infection and became an ex pert. One night he prevailed upon his father to visit the rink. The future president looked on the maze of skaters gliding over the smooth floor. It seemed easy enough. He was a famous ice skater in his boyhood, and like most qthers believed that a man who could keep his head off the surface of a frozen pond could not be easily downed. . He secured a pair of skates, examined them critically and looked , irresolute. In those days the man who hesitated was lost. Half a dozen ladies old, young and middle aged pirouetted about him on wheels and urged him to the trial. ' "An attendant had his feet chained down to the starmakers before he hardly realized it. He struck out with his left, followed with his right, and did amazingly well. It was no trick after all! But he got no farther. One foot shot out to the east; the other made, a Columbian voyage of discovery to the west. They circled around each other like an erratic comet chasing its tail, and the future hope of the nation came down with a crash that made the gas jets flicker. In less than three seconds half of Indianapolis was on top of him. and his head was just visible peering out i from the wilderness of striped hosiery and crushed hats. 1 He sat up when he got an opportunity, removed the skates, went over to the attendant, handed him the offending rollers with a polite bow and walked out. That was his first visit to the rink and his last." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ; . -'" The Man Who Tired Carlyle. There is a story of Carlyle in his old age having "taken thefo) lowing fare well in his broadest Scotch of a young friend who had had him in charge for walks, and who while almost always adapting himself to Carlyle's mood had on a single occasion ventured to dis agree with him, "I would have you to know, young man, that you have the capacity of being the greatest bore in phristendom.J' The boredom had con sisted solely in the rather negative sin of not having been convinced of the truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin all the more heinous because, instead of standing boldly up to Carlyle and de claring his doctrine utterly perverse, the companion had betrayed his weak ness by an apologetic tone. Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he respected antagonists, but he could not endure being merely thwarted without being thoroughly roused. He felt in that case that he had made no impres sion at all on his interlocutor; that he had neither won him nor excited him to resistance. And nothing bored him so much as that. Of course it is only exceptionally despotic minds that are bored in this way. London Spectator. A Clever Girl'a Trick. Some of the enormous bunches of vio lets on the corsage of the Lenten girl will bear studying. She bas learned a trick or two which preserve appear ances and shillings at the same time. The artificial violets are a wonderful imitation of the real ones. It takes more than a passing glance to detect the difference between them; but, as made moiselle well knows, there is no counter feiting the fresh delicate perfume of the real flower. So the clever creature buys every day a 10 cent bunch of nature's production, which she judiciously in tersperses through a large cluster of the handiwork of art. The little leaven of fragrance is sufficient, and by this sim ple 'and ingenious means is secured a maximum of effect at a minimum of ex penditure. Her Point of View in New York Times.

Be Expects to Get Out of Prison Inherits Bloodthirgtinegg, Jesse Pomeroy, that phenomenal crimi nal in this age of multiform crime, whose fiendish deeds were startHngly distinct in method and, enormity and who has been confined in a cell in the Massachusetts state prison for a score of years, shut out from the view even of his fellow men, with the exception of his keeper, has been interviewed by a Boston Globe reporter. Born and bred within a mile from the place of his confinement, he lived until he was 15, when he beat and tortured chil dren, outraged six nearly to the point of death and then proceeded to murder. He Would first get them in some helpless con- TALKING TO POMEROY IN HIS CELL. dition, usually tied to a tree or post. He would then cut their flesh in small strips and stab them in every manner and place conceivable. Then, not content with their torture, he would pour , sea water over them. After a time he would finish his fiendish work by killing them. It was a desire to see blood, over which he had no control and whloh came to him from birth. His father worked at the abattoir at Brighton. , Each day his mother would carry her husband's dinner to him and stand for hours and watch them kill cat tle, hogs and sheep. Some years after Pomeroy had been con fined the warden of the. state prison gave him a small kitten, hoping to thus give him a companion that would help to shorten and brighten the long hours. Pomeroy had the kitten just one week when one morning on entering his cell the guard found that Pomeroy had skinned the little animal alive. Since that time he has been allowed absolutely nothing. Pomeroy's sentence of death was com muted to life imprisonment on the condi tion that he should not be allowed to work with the other prisoners or even see a hu man face other than that of his keeper and mother, she being allowed to see him only at long intervals. To add further to his punishment and isolation his cell door was blocked with granite, thereby cutting off even the view of the oell corridor, and audience with him could only be gained through another cell, which was kept va cant and used for this purpose only. In all these SO years the conditions have been carried out. The Globe reporter was the first outsider who has been Inside Pomeroy's cell for years. The prisoner seemed pleased to see him, but would not talk freely. He re fused to speak of his crimes, but talked of his books and of what he was going to do when he got out of prison. He evidently lives in expectation of a pardon. He says his close confinement is unconstitutional and wishes he might have an opportunity to argue his case in the courts. The officers look lightly upon all his at tempts to escape. ' He does it for merely deviltry, they say, and has not brains enough or sufficient courage to make his way to the outside of the prison should he onoe get from his cell. However, he is cunning, they admit, and keeps them on the watch the greater part of the time. Every week an officer goes through every nook and corner of his cell, takes his bed to pieces and overhauls everything in the room. At times they find pieces ot wire, steel, iron and other trifling things which are of no use to him, but which he treas ures and guards as carefully as if they were some day to' be the means of his es cape. And so the story of his prison life goes on. Day after day, month after month and year after year he sits in his cell and thinks and plans. Since 187S he has bad only to eat, drink, sleep, write, think bnd try to escape. Some day, he says, he will succeed, but if ho does get from the prison without an officer seeing him he will hove to run the gantlet of bullets, for the orders are that he shall be shot without hesitation rf he once gets Into the yard. Where Frank James' Nerve Failed Him. Frank James, the surviving brother of Jesse James, whose reputation for nerve was second to no man's,- fainted under so harmless a weapon as a vaccine quill. . Ha arrived with his horses from Nashville, and before being admitted to the fair grounds was compelled to submit to vac cination because of the presence of small pox in the stables. As soon as the quill had touched his arm he fainted away, and it was some time before he was revived. ' Drop Their Tails and Scamper. When suddenly frightened, lizards will often drop their tails and scurry away. The discarded member, bouncing up and down, attracts tho attention of the enemy and enables an escape to be effected.

' LOVEMAKING BY TELEPHONE. Pleasant Experiences That Are Some. times Fraught With Danger. She had a dainty, delicately nurtured little lisp, and he imagined she was pretty. Their friendship, which had its birthday quite recently, was commenced under cir cumstances conducive to a display of all the phases of human nature ranging from intense disgust to perfect bliss. He had .been nagging away at "central for half an hour, trying to get 4709. Failing Jn the attempt, he had allowed his tempei (to get the best of him, and from the depths pi a perturbed soul ne had uttered words so unpardonable that the wire fairly sizzed as it transmitted them to the "hello" girl at the other end. She was a new girl then, and she did not get mad he wished afterward she had but answered in a voice that his guilty cou science told him was all a-tremble with the throbbing of lacerated heartstrings: "Oh, now, I thay, that ith too bad. can't help it, you know." The lisp told on him, and in subdued tones and modified form of speech he ventured to suggest that it might not be amiss for hei to tell her name. ' To his surprise she patched up her wounded feelings enough to answer, "Alith," and then he succumbed completely to the charm of that musical "th." From that time he has had no cause to complain of the girl at the central office, Every morning he has asked her how he looks; every morning she has answered, "I can't thee over the 'phone," and every morning he has breathed forth volume of adoration, to all of which she has lisped back sentences fraught with a similar sen timent. On the anniversary of their acquaintance he told that he had been a blindfolded wor shiper at the shrine of beauty long enough and that he intended to put a stop to that haphazard leaping in the dark that was bound to land him sooner or later either in a gulf of despair or on the Elysian plains of hope realized. He wanted to see her. She chirruped out a few remonstrances, but he overruled them, and she arranged the details of the meeting, which was to take place at Jackson and La Salle streets at 12 o'clock. They were to wear white roses as a sign of recognition. He was there on schedule time. She failed to appear. At the end of 15 minutes his brow was bathed in perspiration produced by the billows of doubt and impatience that surged o'er his heart. N At half past 12 some one tapped him on the shoulder, and a heavy bass voice in quired: . j "Is this John Smith P" , He had never had cause to be ashamed of his cognomen, and he said he was that in dividual. The owner of the voice was a tall, muscular man, dressed in a cycling suit and russet shoes. He wore a white rose. Intuitively the anxious watcher connect ed his interlocutor with 1 Alith," and the very marrow in his bones took on a frigid temperature. "You are the man who has been making love to Alice over the telephone, aren't youf" asked the bicycle rider.edging nearer. He said he was. "I've- heard of you often. Indeed you are about all I have heard of for the last six monthB, and I am getting tired of it. When she told me about this escapade, I couldn't stand it any longer. I'd have you know I'm engaged to that young lady my self, and it's my bounden duty to see that she isn't subjected to any more annoyances from you over that telephone, and if you dare to appoint another place of meeting, by Jove, I'll" . " ,w He paused to consider just what course of action he would pursue in case such a thing should come to pass. , The young man ex ercised his imagination on the same line, and the picture he conjured up was far from reassuring. - "I guess you understand me," his foe added significantly. The younfman was too badly frightened to understand much of anything just then, but the look of warning in the other's eyes could not be misconstrued, and he signified his willingness to let the whole matter drop if everybody else connected with the affair was. . His dream is ended. This morning he pasted four new rules in the notebook which is his constant companion. They are: Avoid all "hello" girls. Avoid a girl that lisps. Avoid girls named "Alith." Avoid bicycle riders. Chicago News. ' . - , The Precise Conductor. Detroit has a street car conductor who ought to be a finicky old maid or a pro fessional facetiousist. The other morning a young woman in the car beckoned for him, and he came readily, for he is polite and prompt. "Can I leave the car at the next street?" she inquired. . f "You'll have to, miss," he responded. . It wasn't the end of the line, and she didn't understand. Neither did she like be ing told she would have to leave the car. "What did you sayf " she inquired, with a reddening face. . "I said you would have to leave the car, miss." ; , "Well, I guess I won't unless I want to," she said in very evident indication of rising temper. "Where do you wish to goP" asked the conductor, perfectly calm. , "Two blocks down that cross street." The conductor smiled softly. , , "Then you will have to leave the car, miss, for I don't see how you can possibly take it with you," and he rang the bell for the crossing, and the girl hadn't time to stay and have it out with him.

" Very many of the early settlers of Montana were natives of Missouri, Ken tucky, Arkansas and the border states of the war. They came by the Missouri river to Fort Benton or by coach from Omaha and for many years were in the majority at elections, when they held the flag of Democracy to the masthead. The result of this immigration was d itrong sentiment for the confederacy in the early days, and in 1873, when Gen eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an official visit to the northwestern posfs, the sentiment had not disappeared. Helena, Mon., was just emerging from the garb of a mining camp, but a few enterprising citizens with ex-Governor Hauser at the head determined to give a fitting reception to the visitors. A delegation met Sheridan and his party in a stagecoach several miles from the town and escorted them to the leading hotel.' On the following afternoon a banquet was given in the First National bank, located then in the present gam bling district. " ' The menu consisted mostly of canned goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game, because the town was remote from civ ilization. .There was, however, plenty of champagne, since that wine is usu ally found in mining camps even when nothing in the way of food is left but flour. , The gathering was very demo cratic. Everybody in town was invited to see "Little Phil," though there was much grumbling among the unrecon structed Confederates over the display made for a Union general. There were lawyers and mining camp politicians mingled with gamblers, miners and ex road agents, many of whom wore six shooters at their belts. Among them was one old time Confederate soldier, who had turned his talents from the chivalry of war to dealing "bank." He was restless and uncomfortable during the feast, and when the toasts began this restlessness increased. His face darkened and his eyes flamed with an ger as various toasts were given to the United States, tne president of the United States and the army of the United States. . - Finally he could stand it no longer. He arose with a wineglass in one hand and a six shooter in the other, and in a voice hoarse with rage shouted: "Here's to all mankind, so that no d d fool will be overlooked." With that be dashed the wineglass on the floor and emptied the six shooter into the ceiling so that the room was filled with smoke. The guests reached for their revolvers, but the cam bier. with a look of contemptfcreturned his "gun" to his pocket and walked out. , General Sheridan afterward said that it was one of the most dramatic and suggestive scenes in all his experience.
