FUMttV FACTS.
Mr. O. K. Chesterton, discourag
ing a tendency to take bis paradoxes
frivolously, makes a profession of
complete seriousness in Uie London
News:
, ' "I should like to state at once,
- for the benefit of those particular
people, that to me the only |«rfect
. pleasure in life is the pleasure of
i fighting for something in which one
i passionately believes sr.d that if
that were k-ft to me 1 would do
without daylight and tobacco. Ido
; I think my own opinions very fi:r.;iv.
I But I al-o think them absolutely
j true. I think it very funny, for in-
I stance, that Mr. Kipling should bt,
j as be is, psychologically incapable
I of a patriotic emotion and be, nev
ertheless, hailed everywhere as a
patriotic poet. But I think it fun
ny because I think it is the fact.:
The humor of it is humor
lof a hippopotamus. The principal
humor aliout a hippopotamus is that
he exists."
Good Business..
"I first met Toole in 1858," said
Mr. John Billtngtoa, the veteran
actor, "when he joined the company
for "Good For Nothing'for the first
reason at the New Adelphi, the one
before the present theater. We hnd
many experiences together. One
i night, in 'lei on perle Franca is,' 11
had to kick him, and instead of do
ing in pretense with the flat of my
foot I forgot and gave him a rous
ing kick with my toe. He went
writhing up the stage, and I hurried
after him, fearing I had hurt bin
frightfully. But the audience was
screaming with laughter, so all
Toole said was, 'John, they like it if
I don't, so do it again.' Every
night afterward Tpole insisted that
I should get as near to reality again
as could be without killing him.
That was the hardest part I have,
ever played." —London News.
New York's Hotels.
There are now about sixty first
class hotels in New York, says the
Pittsburg iJispatch. The addition
of the fifteen new ones will increase
the number to seventy-five. If these
seventy-five hotels were piled on lop
of one another tbey would make a
structure 750 stories high—taller
than the tower of 11abel; or, to look
at it in another way, if they could
be conglomerated into ono bitgo
composite hotel it would be twenty
seven stories high and occupy a
ground spate of seventeen acres,
more than four city blocks, includ t
tag the intersecting streets. Tim I
great building would cost $75,000,-
000, have 2?.500 bedrooms and ac
commodate 50,000 guests daily.
Luck In Politico.
The late Chief Justice McCollum
of Pennsylvania owed his election j
to a singular accident. He was j
nominated for the vacant judgeship ,
by the Ik-mocretie slate convention
of IfcSJj in opposition to James T. j
MUclh-11, the Republican candidate. (
Tlwre was then 116 chance of hi.; j
election, but the death of one of the
justices made another vacancy on
the bench, and l>oth Mitchell and
McCollum were chosen. I.ots were I
then cast fir seniority of rank, as j
their commissions were to expire at j
the same time, January, 1910, and
McCollum had tho further luek of
drawing the prize and so succeeded |
to the chief justiceship.
His Memoirs.
A man of eighty years died in '
New York city the other day leav- ■
ing written on a small sheet of pa- j
per the following: "Personal nan j
oirs. At the age of thirty I gave !
up dancing, at forty my endeavors i
to phase the fair sex, at fifty my
regard of public opinion, at sixty I
the trouble of thinking, and I have J
now become a true sage, or an ego
tist, which is the same thing. 1 ,
have never meddled in a:iy mar
riage or scandals. 1 have never rec
ommended a cook or a physician,
consequently 1 have ucver attempt
ed the life of any one."
Horse shoeiug.
Robert Bonner »« the man who
started fancy prices for horseshoe
ing when he paid SIOO for shoeing
1 tester. There are esi»ert black
smiths who work only for owners of
big stables and who travel with
crack racing horses wherever they
?[>. Some of these blacksmiths ret
12,000 a year and expenses, be
sides a liberal present if the owner
has had a lucky year. The black
smith of a crack stable is constaHTy
asked for castoff shoes from crack
horses by persons who want to gild
them and frame them "j at for
luck."
OeceraUd With Clk Teeth.
A dnvs owned by a Kiowa Indian
squaw was sold in El Reno, Okl«L,
for s!,ioo, and the purchaser thinka
he was lucky to get it at that price.'
It is lavishly decorated with elk j
teeth, which are becoming almost
as valuable as pearls, and t'le c juaw,
like many of her paleface sisters, |
thought that $1,600 was altogether
too much money to be invested in 1
one dress.

it is worth repeating.

Victoria might hare an exhibition
of the wonderful possibilities of the
telephone certain testa were carried

One of them wu the playing of a
Land in London, so that her majes
ty might hear it in the Isle of Wight.
Br some unfortunate occurrence
the hand did not arrive at the ap
pointed time, and Sir William heard
that the queen was waiting at the
other end of the wire.
Sir William was distracted. There
waa only one thing to be done. The
engineer in chief bummed an air
into the receiver and afterward in
quired if her majesty had recognized
the tui.e.
"Oh, yes," she replied. "It was
