RABELAIS   CLUB   WAS   POPULAR.,
Of     English     Dining     Organizations
Americans Liked This the Best.
Prohahly of all the English dinicg
clubs, that most hospitable to Americans was the Rabelias, -vvhich twas
founded more than a quarter of a_ century ago, which flourished for perhaps ten years and which has been
defunct for now nearly 15 years, says
Brander Matthews in Putnam's. It
had among its organizers the -late
Lord Houghton, that stanch friend oi
the union through all the uncertain
years of the civil war, and Sir Walter
Besant, always -untiring in his efforts
to assure the solidarity of the English-
speaking peoples. ^ Among the original member^'when the Rabelais gave
its dinner in 1879 were Charles Godfrey Leland, Bret Harte and Henry
James, all then residents in England.
Longfellow, Lowell and Holmes were
elected to the club in 1880. Afterward
other Americans were added to the
roll—E. A. Abbey, Lawrence Barrett,
John Hay, W. £>.- Howells, Clarence
King and the present writer. Of all
these, the one who took the most active part in the earliest .days of the
club's egigtp.Tir.e was Leland, the, au-
thor of "Ha is Breitmann."
This dinne r of the Rabelais, club to
Dr.' Holmes n 1886, arranged long before he left lis beloved Boston, whose
hard he was and whose titles to glory
he was eve: glad to proclaim—this
dinner was he'largest ever given by
the club and it was perhaps its last
effort to esta ilish itself solidly. Other
dinners ther< were from time to time
2*it*Wn—tbe-^xt two or three years;
and then there were no more, and
the Rabelais club ceased to be. It had
run its course, and it came to an untimely end at last, for some reason
not easy to ascertain. --

Admiral's  Proviso  Would >Have   Rendered . Shore  Leave  Valueless.   .
Admiral Coghlan, as every one
knows, sprang into fame as an. after
dinner speaker through his recital, of
"Hoch der Kaiser," at a dinner giv:en
hy the Union-.League club in. 1895.
Little the * admiral cared about the
diplomatic stir -that followed. Admiral
Coghlan is a stout man of medium
height, grayish hair, large nose, ahd
twinkling little eyes. He is always
smiling, 'good humored, and easy to
approach. Though polished by contact with men of many mind?, he ,is'
still an old sea dog, and "his. after dinner yarns retain.much of the flavor of
salt water. .
"I never know what'I am going'to
say when I start out," says the admiral. "I jiist get on my feet aiid
trust to the Lord, like the sailor who
starts to row out into a harbor on *a
dark, foggy night and trusts to the-
good Lord to help' him find his ship-
somehow." . . -- '
One of the admiral's favorite stories
is about a* former ,bo'sun of his-who
always got drunk when allowed to go
^ashore. He was carried aboard so
many times in a helpless condition-
that Admiral Coghlan finally- decided
to make him stay on board. Some
time after, the ship made a European
port after a long voyage.and all'the
crew, except the bibulous one, was
given shore.leave. The latter moped
around looking' so sorrowful that
finally Admiral Coghlan relented, and
said: "Jim, if I let you off this time
will" you promise me not to 'get
drunk?" Thereupon the reply"'*v7as-:
"Thanks fer . yer kindness, Cap, but
what's the use goin* ashore?";—Bohemian Magazine.*
MARK   TWAIN   AS   A   FINANCIER.
Humorist   Earned  S3  in   Transaction,
and Then Was Bunkoed.
Mark Twain blossomed out with a
new dog!s tale at the weekly banquet
of the Pleiades club at 'the Lafayette-
Brevbort. The theme' of the humorist was: "Ho---t.lt Pays to Be Honest—
•When It Doesn't Hurt Yourself." He
said he was starving with a chap
named Davis, in Washington, in the
latter' '60s, and Davis told Twain'to
go out and "rummage for ?3 for Scotch
whisky, while he'd stay home.
Twain said he walked into a hotel
and came on the prettiest dog he had
ever seen in the lobby.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles came in with
'three months'- salary. Miles saw
Twain fondling* the dog, and offered
Twain ?10 for the animal.
"I haven't any right to sell this dog
for' $10," answered the humorist, "but
if'you'll give me $3 you" can take the
pup away."
Miles paid the -?3. and took it away.**
"The real- owner rushed In:i
"I'll find your dog foivS'3," said
Twain. The owner agreed. Twain
walked* upstairs, told Miles'the situation,' and"got'-the dog baek by paying
53,' then received ?3 fcr restoring it to
the owner. *He took three quarts
back home to" Davis, who drank it all
and ignored Twain.—New York Sun.

"Pittsburgh Perfect"
Fences The Best Because
t
1: Stays are Electrically Welded to the strands forming a perfect union
and an amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence.
2. All stay wires are made as heavy..as intermediate line wires. A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material in it. Think
this over carefully. [ *.,
'      8.  TSfo wraps to get loose, to hold niolstare and clause rust.
i      i.   No projections tti injure stock or iear *svool from sheep,.
5- Stronger at the joints than any other fence. Welded together with
electricity. _      :'■''.
6. Guaranteed that the wire is not. injured at the joints.
7. Guaranteed adjustable to uneven ground.
8. Guaranteed that stays will not- separate from joints.
"9.   Guafauteed all right in every pattioular.
10. Made by the most modern process and on the latest impioycd machinery. '   ,   ~'
11. Most of the weak points in other fences are on account of the" «vay
the stays are fastened, * . * < "
Our stays are amalgamatdd with the strands bv means of electricity and
the strength of-the fence increased-a nuudro"dfold over the strength of a
fence where the stays are wrapped o'r clamped on the strands.
You may pay more money for other fences but you cannot got as good a
' fence Ls "Pittsburgh Perfect." *.■»_"-■'-
