BIT OF FRENCH HISTORY. An lilmiiire I.net Vor XV..ill of I'ae Kight Sort of Bidtns Han’t. An old legend which mal es no pretense Io truth tells how a kingdom as lost lor wain of a horseshoe nail. But a volume of sober historical and bio graphical purpose, written by Count d'llerrison. makes it appear that the Empress Eugenie, after the battle oi th'dan. his; the chance to presene the empire of her husband by not possessing exactly the right sort of riding habit. It was the evening of Sept. 3. 1870. Tile news of the surrender of the French army and of tin Emperor Napoleon at Sedan had spread about Paris. Thi' city was excited, and there was talk of a revolution and the banishment of the imperial fatr.i’v. At this juncture Emile de (lirardin man who was trusted by the empress and who had bad ro little experience during tlie previous changes of gnvernmeiit. arrived at the palace of the Tuileries. “If your majesty were to appear on horseback in the midst of the peo--1 ■. (lirardin said, “and announce the abdication of the emperor in favor of the prince imperial, your own assumption of the title of empress regent and the appointment of Thiers as prime minister, the empire might be saved. Something must be done t» turn the tide.” The empress accepted the advice. But when this leader of the world’s fashion sought for a proper costume for her performance it could not bo found. The only riding habit in the Tuileries was a fantastic one of green, embroidered with gold and silver, made for a festal hunting occasion, and the hat was a not less fantastic three cornered affair of the epoch of Louis Quinze. The empress felt that it wou.d not do to appear in this garb on such an occasion. Her appearance in it might have the opposite effect upon the people from that which she intended. The plan had to be given up. the empress and (!><• prime impt rial were banished and the Napoleonic empire was at an end A NOSE FOR NEWS. The Genuine \ew*»pa pvr Ueperter Is Born. \ot Mule. Toets are born, not made." said the retired newspaper man to the New Orleans Times Democrat, “and I might add that reporters come into this world in much the same way. Fur instance, the ‘born’ reporter will gel a story if there Is one in sight, while he who only has what I would call a mechaniea: sort of training will skim over the same ground without ever disiovering that anything out of the ordinary has happened. Not many years ago I wa» holding an important position on one of the principal journals of Chicago. I was one day jflit on the city editor’s desk. and. wanting to test the ability of two new men on the staff. 1 assigned both of them to the same story. Os course neither knew the other was tn the neighlMirhood, and you ought to have seen their respective reports. One of them hid a two column story that created a sensation from one end of the city lo the other, while the other turned in about two sticks’ <,f the driest stuff 1 ever remember to have read. 1 am satisfied that both the men eov.e- .q the ■ tery to the I t r.f th, ir respective abilities. One of them simply had a ’nose for news' and the other didn't. As 1 said, reporters are born, not made |>y studying ’journalism’ in the abstract. The natural born reporter is at home in a newspaper office, he can live on ink and < an sleep soundly on the imposing stone, lie secs little news in a dog biting a man. hut he is quick to grasp the importance of an Item felling about a man biting a dog." V Pncxllnir Problem. The man seemed to be very much ex cited. "We’ve made a bet," he said, "on a question of law. and we’ve agreed to leave it to you." ‘Til do the best I can to settle it." return <1 the great lawyer, gratitied by this evidence of th" opinion in which he was held. "What is the question of law?” "Why. a two dollar cat belonging to Brown ate a ten dollar bird belonging to .tones, and wo want to know who has legal title to the combination of bird and cat." Chicago Bost. I Word In Season. The playwright turned pale with ex cib'inent and a sudden rush of pride a* he heard from his position in the wings the sound of stamping feet and roaring voices. "They arc calling for the author!" ho cried levcrisldj "What shall 1 do? Must 1 make a spe<>ch?" The mamiger. who had not only heard but seen the andieme. took him by the clliow. "The best thing you can do. " he whispered. "Is to slip out of the stage door and escape while there’s time." The IbiHHlypliix Tree.
