Wouldn't Bring an Action.
There is a story told of a very emi
nent advocate, now no longer with us.
who once while endeavoring to dis
suade a friend from going to law was
asked what he would himself consider
a sufficient ground for resorting to liti
gation.
"My dear fellow." he replied. "I do
not say that in no conceivable cireum- j
stances would I take proceedings j
against any one. bnt 1 do say that if
at this moment you deliberately upset
my ink on the tablecloth, chucked tny
wife out of the window, threw that
volume of reports at the bust of Black
stone. 'made bay' with my furniture
and finally tweaked my nose I should

A Tip.
"I notice you keep your office door I
dosed all the time."
"Yes. I'd never get anything done
If I didn't"
"Why?"
"Well, so many people that I don't
want to see would wunder in here."
"How do you know whether or not
you want to see them unless you ad
mit them and hear what they have to
] say?"
| "I don't. I sup|K)se 1 do miss one or
I' two worth while In the course of a
day."
"Did it ever occuf to you that the old
way to know what people want is to
hear what they have to say? It's easy
enough to get rid of the undesirable
visitor after he yets in. but you never
can recall the man with the worth
while message if he once goes away."

3u!wer Lytton and Hi* Chorus.
The Princess von Racowitsa met
Bulwer Lytton in the Riviera toward
the end of the fifties. He was then,
she says in her autobiography, '.'past
his first youth; his fame was at its
zenith. He seemed to me antedilu
vian. with his long dyed curls and his
old fashioned dress. He dressed exact
ly in tne fashion of the twenties, with
long coats reaching to the ankles, knee
breeches and long colored waistcoats.
Also he appeared always with a young
lady who adored him and who was
followed by a manservant carrying a
harp. She sat at his feet nnd appeared,
as he did. in the costume of 1S30, with
long flowi : curls, called Anglaises.
He read aloud from his own works,
and In especially poetic passages his
'Alice' accompanied him with arpeggios
j on the harp."

CHAWED TO A ROCK
How the Turks Once Imprisoned
a Greek Battleship.
DARING OF A YOUNG OFFICER.
Hit Pluck and Strategy Resulted In
Making the Powerful Enemy Vestol
Lie Helpless Within the Landlocked
Watera of the Gulf of Art*.
It was during the war between
Greece anil Turkey In 1S97 tliat the
Inhabitants of Gala Krlnl—a large vil
lage, since destroyed by the Turks, on
the shores of the gulf of Arta—awoke
one morning to And that a Hellenic
battleship had entered the gulf and
cast anchor off the shore. The sur
prise of the Inhabitants of ijala Krlnl
was nothing compared with that of a
party of five Turkish officers, who.
from the very crest of a hill towering
above the village, watched the vessel
through their telescopes.
These Turkish officers were on an
urgeut aud Important mission — to
block out the Hellenic fleet from the
gulf of Arta. Behind them, at the
bottom of the deep ravine, were a
number of heavy guns which had been
dragged all the way from Salonlkl, a
long and difficult task, and with this
artillery they had been ordered to for
tify the strait.
To reach the strait, however, the
Turkish column had to run the gantlet
of the battleship's heavy guns, which
meant sheer destruction. Somehow or
other they must escape the man-of
war or prevent her Interference with
their work, but to do this seemed Im
possible.
In the midst of their discussion a
young officer who bad been listening
said he could hold the vessel a prison,
er if they would allow him. Kis plead
ing won. and, hurriedly changing his
clothes for those of a shepherd, he de
scended in that disguise to Gala KrlnL
Late that night a number of figures
stole through the dark alleys of the vil
lage toward the- shore. Close to the
water's edge was an old boathouse,
used as a shed for repairing boats.
This the party silently entered and by
the flickering light of a taper searched
the black interior. At length there was
a gentle rattle and from the gloom
emerged Hassan, stripped to the waist,
dragging a heavy chain. This, with the
help of his comrades, he began to pull,
and after an hdur's laborious work the
end of the great chain—once the cable
of a Turkish vessel—was reached.
From the beach the chain was loaded
on board a large caique, whose sides
and floor had been covered with cloth
to deaden the sound. This task accom
plished. three men got in with Hassan
and rowed with muffled oare toward a
large rock in the middle of the bight.
Round this rock the chain was laid and
securely fastened. One man having
been landed on the crag to keep guard
over this end. the boat set out cautious
ly for the battleship, looming like a
phantom in the distance. Sot a sound
did the men make as Unk by link the
massive chain was paid out over the
stern into the still water till they
reached the vessel.
There was an excited gleam in Has
san's eyes as, with a sign to his com
rades, he gradually lowered himself
into the dark water, guiding himself by
passing his fingers over the battleship's
plates. - A slight grating of the chain
against the hull was all that bis anxious
companions in the boat heard, though
now and then a r£hssuring pull was
felt on the line that Hassan held, di
recting them how to pay out the chain.
Hours rather than minutes seemed to
have gone by ere the young officer
came to the surface. So exhausted by
his long dive was he that he had to be
almost lifted into the boat.
"It Is round the propeller," he gasp
ed. "I have fixed it so that nothing'
can move it Buck you go."
Then link by link the tedious work
was renewed until the boat returned
to its starting point, where the other
end of the chain was secured. The
risky task was done, and the Hellenic
battleship was cecurely moored to an
Immovable rock by a double thickness
of cable.
The early rays of dawn revealed a
sight which astonished the Greek com
mander. A whole regiment of Turks
were on the march toward the strait
of Arta. with train after train of artil
lery, the last of wliich disappeared be
yond the intervening head before the
ship's guns could be brought to bear
on them. The commander gave orders
for the guns to be run out and decks
cleared for action, while the anchor
was weighed, his intention being to
prevent the Turks from fortifying the
strait before they had become too
strong. "Full speed ahead!" went the
order to the engine room, and, pro
pelled by her mighty screw, the bat
tleship advanced, only to lurch back
ward as if dragged by some unseen
force. Work as the engines would,
tlie vessel seemed to be in an enchant
ed circle, beyond which it was impos
sible to go.
It was not until the sun's rays had
penetrated the deep blue water along
side that the secret was revealed and
the massive chain was discovered pass
ing round the ship's propeller and the
adjacent rock
Before it could be removed, how
ever. the strait had been sufficiently
fortified by the Turks and a powep
ful Greek warship lay a helpless pris
oner within the landlocked waters of
Arta. »

A ROMANCE OF BAGDAD.
Peculiar Story of Nazim Pasha and an
Armenian Geauty.
A remarkable tuie of Nazlm Pasha,
the commander In chief of the Turkish
armies against Bulgaria Ui the Balkan
waf, Is told by Sir William WUloocks.
K. C. M. G.. In an article In Black
wood's Magazine:
"After Xazlro Pasha became wall of
Bagdad there lived in one of the best
houses In the place an Armenian girt
of eighteen, who was very pretty, very
wealthy and an orphan All the young
Armenians tn the Turkish empire were
eager suitors for her hand, but she
would hare none of iliem. The wall
Invited her to his palace and told her
that in her unprotected condition shf i
might got into trouble, but that If she i
were to marry u countryman of hers in :
his household she would have both a
sterling husband and his own protec
tion She accepted, but on reaching
her home sent the nazlm word that sho
preferred remaining single.
"'You shall remain single for life:
said the wall and put a cordon of sol
dlers round her house, which prevent
ed her from leaving It.
"She escaped to the French convent
one day. dressed as a French nun. and
the cordon of soldiers moved to her
new residence. After some delay she
escaped as b French monk, took refuge
on Lynch's boat and sailed for Basra
nnder the British tlag. Boats full of
soldiers surrounded the steamer at
Basra, but the girl ran across the
deck. Jumped Into the Busslan con^
sal's boat and took refuge under the
Russian flag. The consul saw her safe
ly on to the British India steamer, and
she descended at Bushlre. In Persia.
"Not many months afterward Nazlm
Pasha himself was deposed and order
ed to return to Constantinople. He re
turned there Anally and was, as we all
know, murdered by the Young Turks."
Milo Wat a Glutton.
Milo. the famous athlete 'of ancient
Greece, born 520 B. C-, was victor at
both the Olympic and Pythian games
for six times in succession. On one oc
casion be ran four miles with an ox on
his shoulder, killed the animal -with a
blow of his fist and then ate the entire
carcass In one day. An ordinary meal
for this gluttonous Titan was twenty
pounds of bread, twice that much meat
and fifteen pints of wine.
