TEA
Reallam. A commission was intrusted to a painter in an Italian town to paint the Image of a saint on the refectory wall of the convent there. The price stipulated was very low, but it was agreed that the painter should have his meals provided at the expense of the convent until the work should be finished. But the only food supplied to the poor artist was bread, onions and water. The day for .unveiling the fresco arrived. The friars stood around the artist, and the curtain was removed. It was no doubt an excellent piece of work, but the saint had his back turned toward the spectators.
"What does this mean?" Indignantly
demanded the prior. -
"Padre," explained the artist, "I was
compelled to paint the picture as you
see it, for the saint could not bear the
smell of onions!" -Harper's Weekly.

The bazaar given by the ladies of the Congregational church in the basement of the Hall building closed last night. Nearly all of the goods on dis

Choate's Ready Retort.
Gorge TJcknor, the historian of Spanish literature, was once called as
a witness in a case in which Rufus
Choate was engaged and, being seated
by the eminent counselor, was attract
ed by the notes which he had made of the evidence. After eying them with
interest he remraked that the writing
reminded him of two autograph letters in his possession one of Manuel the
Great of Portugal, dated 1512, and the
other of Gonsalvo de Cordova, the
great captain, written a few years earlier. (Any one who has glanced
over these remarkable specimens of
chirography will marvel that it Was
possible to make out a syllable of such
illegible scrawls.)
"These letters," Mr. Tlcknor assured
Mr. Choate. "were written 350 years
ago, and they strongly resemble your
notes of the present trial."
Choate instantly replied: "Remark
able men, no doubt. They seem to
have been much in advance of their
time."
William J. Pollard, a butcher of Evanston, 111, last night confessed, the
authorship of the mysterious "Knights of the White Death" letters which
have been received by five prominent Chicagoans at intervals during the last
four months.
The confession was obtained by Chief Postoffic Inspector James E.
Stuart, who made the arrest with the aid ef the Evanston police after two
weeks of personal work on the case.
Pollard said he got human bones and coffin handles and other trimmings
from old graves at Calvary cemetery, where hfs father was sexton for twen
ty years. These he attached to the letters, which in each case demanded large sums of money on pain of death. He alone, he declared, was tho "Th Knights of the White Death." He never had breathed a word ofhIs plot to
a living soul.
