I apent an afternnon laat week with one of the moat charming' writer of the United State, write Frank O. CarpenUr La the Chicago Herald. I refer to Bichard Maloolm Johnaton, who ranks with Unole Bemns and Thomne Kelson Page as amonff the greatest story tellers of the south, and whose dialect tales of the. Georgia bill have delighted the reader of tbe magazines for years. It was . at his homa Ta West North avenn In Baltimore that I called upon him. Ills honse is a threeHitory red brick which ia covered with vines and looks oat upon one ot the widest streets of the oity. Th living: rooms of the family are on the second floor, and it was in th parlor, furnished with antique pieces, that I met Mr. Johnston. He is not so rich to-day as he was before the war. when he owned a plantation In the south and possessed the luxurious surround Ings of! a well-to-do planter of his time. He lives very oomfortably, how ever, and his Income from his writing is enough to support well himself and his family. It la not generally known to the public that Bichard Maloolm Johnston is one of the .best educators of th j United States, i Ha was a nnfManr in I the university of Georgia at the time the war began, and when it closed, leaving' hlmaelf and all his friends poor, he opened a boarding school for boys., at his home, near Sparta, In Georgia, and made her for years I20 wO and upward annually by teaching. most famous f amill. of tie aoath sen ' ueir couaren to nim, very lew teeea ers in the United State to-day can mak a much aa $30,000 a year, and th story of how Mr. Johnston gar up his school and devoted himself to writing for an income about one-tenth this sis is an interestlngnn. Ha told it to m in response to my questions. Said he: "I like th profession of Uachlng very much and 1 look upon it HICHAJU,MAIXOUi JOHXIT4. as my life work. I nerer thought of making money . by writing for pay, and it was not until I came to Balti more that I realized that I could write anything- which; had a real money value. I left Georgia on account of the death of my daughter. We loved her dearly, and I could not endure life amid the old associations without bar. I gar p my school and moved to this city And began teaching here. About forty of my boys came from the south to Baltimore to nter my school, and had I not changed my religion I would probably be teaching to-day. Some time ; after I came here, however, I g-rew convinced that my religious ideas were wrong, and from being an Episcopalian I was converted to Ca tholicism and became a member of the Catholie church. The moat of my students were Episcopalians, and when their parents learned of the change ia my religious belief they withdrew their sons from the school; and the re sult was that I eventually gare up teaching. In the meantime I had written some short stories, which were published to a southern magazine that Wats . . .f4...1 - 1 ... 1 i v u uoi--. in oaiumore, numoers; ii is the apotheosis of ma These now form part of ,mv book.

The animals are the aeo ond of the kind eTer brought to tbe city. . Soma time -aro two were obtained for Golden Cale-park, but one ha slice died, j: . : Tho animals were bought by th government agent, It Bruce; la Si beria. The purpoof the purchase is to In trod ace the r-indeer In Alas ka, where they will be used Instead of dogs. It Is Impossible to use horse, and dogs do not serve' the purpose as well as they might ' Some time ago there was a season! of the greatest distress among the Esquimaux in Alaska. The report of it led- to a congrcflslooal InvMl gatlon and the appropriation of sev eral thousand dollars; part of which was to buy rtlndeer In Siberia and have them brought to Alaska. An agent was dispatched to Siberia, and his first consignment was stationed In a lot adjacent to the Lick paths.1 The greatest difficulty was ex perienced in getting the animals here. Several died en the way and there are but six remaining. The animals will be used to great advantage at the north. They are small, but swift and; powerful. In Siberia they cot fire dollars apiece. Tbe natives have a peculiar way of harnessing and driviag the antmale. The harness is simply a band over the shoulders and between the legs. The deer is fastened to the center and left of the sled, but not to the right It Is steered, by the horns and covers the ground as rapidly as a good horse. J A BAD HAtP HOUR. H Get Away. But th Beaut- of That ' Chair Was Ruined. At the home of a popular girl la this city a most uncomfortable half hour was recently spent by a modest youth who had called to see her. The youth is noted for both bashful nes and nervousness. The night la question be rwent with a friend to the girl's house. He took a comfortable seat In a targe armchair, and, as was his habit, soon began to nervously poke his fingers into cracks'Str holes In the orna mental parts of tbe chair. He shoved one finger Into a bolfj In this manner, but found, to his dismay, that bis knuckle positively refused to come back through the holr. . - The more the young man worked to release his finger the. harder It waa, as the finger became swollen! The youth was too bashful to mention the ridiculous predicament lajo 'which he. had gotten' himself, but' bore" the pain In silence He 'suffered untold aony for fear his Mend would go before he released his finger. Finally the hostess noticed his parent uneasiness. The youthfwith many blushes, then told the cause. It was not until half an hour later that the bashful youth and the chair parted company. Tbe butler finally succeeded in 'releasing- the finger with the aid of a hatchet and chisel,' but the handsome chair Is a thing of the past- Louisville Courier-Journal, t ; ' , Maternal 'Dsvotian. In the western part of Massachu setts, says the. Churchman, a fire re cently destroyed a sfine barn on a stoc2 farm, and a ntsnber of blooded horses and cows perished ia the flames. ! j Soon after the fire the owner, walking over ' the ruins, came upon an object which toached him more than the sigh of the charred bodies of his horses and Jerseys. There eat an old black hen. He wondered that she did not more her head to look at him as he cam near her, but he thought she most be asleep, ne poked her with his cane, and to his surprise tbe wing which he touched lell .into, ashes. Then he knew that she had! been burned death. I to Dut out from under her came a faint little peep, and pushing -her aside with, his cane, the man found ten live yellow chkk ens.
