Skitch’s R0“ How Robert Louis Stevenson’s Marriage Was Brought About. An oflicial high in the employ of the Gov- ernment said to me the other day : “The story of how Robert Louis Stevenson 0t his wife has never been told in print, I e- lieve. The story sounds almost like a chapter from a. novel, but is, nevertheless, absolutely true in all its details, says a. writer in the Kansas City Times. “In 1885 I. a young man, became inti- mately acquainted with Samuel C. Os- borne, who was then private secretary to Governor Willard, of Indiana. Osborne was a magnificent fellow in personal ap- pearance and magnetism. He was versa- tile, scholarly, witty, quick as the light- ning’s flash in repartee and agfine musician. That. man could draw sweeter tones from a flute than any man I ever knew. “Well, in 1858 Osborne married a. black- eyed Miss Vandegrift; she was not beau- tiful, by any means, but rather attractive. At that. time he was in the office of the reporter of the Supreme Court. of Indiana. andfiwas making gogd Inoney. “In 1861 James B. Beach, reporter of the Supreme Court, and Osborne, both of whom had saved up a few thousand dol- lars, started for Arizona. Sam had his wife and two children, a boy and a. girl, and he took them along. Arrived at Ari- zona Beach and Osborne bought a mine with their savings and in about a. month were ofi'ered $10,000 in cash tor their bo- nanza. Beach wanted to hold it for a lsrger offer and inside of six weeks they could not sell it for a dollar. “Osborne headed for San Francisco and reached the Golden Gate with $7 in his pocket. He knew a good deal of law and was a good stenographer, one of the fastest in the country at that time. This accom- plishment stood him in hand, for he was soon making lots of money, and sometime: he used to write to me he would get $1,000 for reporting a single case. As years went on the daughter and son grew up and were sent abroad to finish their education. The son went to England and the daughter to France. The mother went to Europe and spent a season or two with them. - “The last time Mrs. Osborne went over was in 1883, and then she met Robert Lcuis Stevensonâ€"I believe it was in Paris. She at once wrote back to her husband and told of meeting the literary genius and told of an afiection she had formed for him. Osborne evidently thought this more than a merely platonic affection, and, I guess, had good reason to think so, for he wrote her that if she loved Stevenson to come back to ’Frisco and obtain a divorce. “She did this, and as soon as the divorce was granted the invitations for her mar- riage to Robert Louis Stevenson were sent out. The bridegroom was in :town during the divorce proceedings. Osborne was in- vited to the wedding and he accepted._ “He appeared on that evening dressed faultlessly and having on his arm a lady of rare beauty. The wedding over the new Mrs. Stevenson introduced her new husband to her former one, and Osborne in turn represented the lady on his arm as Mrs. Samuel C. Osborne ! He had been married quietly to her as soon as the di- vorce was granted. “Osborne would make no outward sign, but the episode broke his heart. He went to Australia and Stevenson to Samoa. I have never heard from Osborne since. The places and men that knew him know him no more, and I do not know whether he is living or dead.” That weird story that comes from Texas of the negro who hanged upon the scafl‘old until justice was satisfied that he was legally dead, and who afterwards came to life and is now able to polish off a ’possum in first-class style, reminds me that there are several cases on record of criminals surviving judicial execution. More than six centuries ago J uetta de Belsham hanged tor three days, was cut down and pardoned, the superstitious people believing that God had decreed otherwise. Obadiah \Valker, a. former master of New College, Oxford, England, tells of a Swiss who was hanged thirteen times, every attempt being frus- trated by a peculiarity of the windpipe which prevented strangulation. Ann Green, who was hanged inOxford in 1650, survived the ordeal, was pardoned by the crown and was soon after married. In 1808 one John Green was hanged in London and recovered on the dissecting table of Surgeon Blizard. A fitting close for this “note" is the story of “Half-Hanged Maggie.” She was hanged in Edinburgh in 1740, came to life while being taken to potter’s field and lived for years afterwardsâ€"St. Louis Republic. The Finest in the \Vorld. The “finest rubies in the world”â€"and some small kingdoms would no doubt tremble in the balance of exchangeâ€"were left behind by the Countess Alexandra Poâ€" tocka, who died ashort time ago in Paris. Of all her possessions these are what she would most gladly have taken out of the world with her. Yet the world could not afiord to lose the rubies of John Sobieski, Poland’s hero-king. The heir to the Potocka millions, for many there were, in Count Xavier Branicke, one of the best known men about town in the Seine capital. He inherits also her castle of \Villanow, near \Varsaw. The Brannigans, like so many other Irish families, trace a Continental origin for their name, and some of them are said to point with pride to Count Bra- nicke as a. cousin. When Charles Dickens was editor of the Daily Newsâ€" his tenure was no; for long-â€" he appointed his father, the original of Wilkins Micawber, leader of the News’s Parliamentary corps. In his new volume on “Faces and Places,” which seems a felicitous title, Mr. H. W. Lucy, a. success- ful journalist and humorist, says: “The old gentleman, of course, knew nothing about journalism ; was not even capable of short- hand. l’rovidentially he was not required uua.\.. to take notes but generally to overlook things. He filled the office even for a. short. ’ime after his son had impetuously vacated In: editorial chair.” There are many people now living who will have only one birthday to celebrate for nearly twelve years to come. This strange circumstance is due to the fact that they were born on Feb. :29, and to the further fact; that the year 1900 will not be a leap year. Trained Toads.

Birthdays Twelve Years Apart, Alive‘After Execution, All Occasion When John Howard Payne Sang the Song Under Compulsion. I was once acquainted with a Swede who had been adopted by the Osage Indians. lie was a friend of John Ross, the celebrat- ed chief of the Cherokees, and gave his name in the' Cherokee languageâ€"it was written J. Q. J. Q., pronounced Koh- weh-s-koh-weh, and means swamp sparrow. His brother, Lewis Ross, was named Te- tah-te, which means spoon. My informant was himself called by the Cherokees Te- kaw-wha-less ky, which signifies “The man who writes orders for flour.” John Howard Payne, the author of “Home, Sweet Home,” was a warm. per- sonal friend of John Ross. At this time the Cherokees were removed from their homes in Georgia to their present home west of the Mississippi River. Payne was spending a few days in Georgia. with Ross, who was occupying a miserable mbin, hav- ing been forcibly ejected from his former home. A number of prominent Cherokees were in prison, and that portion at Georgia in which the tribe was located was scoured by armed squads of the Georgia militia, who had orders to arrest all who refused to leave the country. While Ross and Payne were seated be- fore the fire in the but the door was sud- denly burst open and six or eight militia men sprang into the room. Ross’ wife was seated on a trunk containing many valu- able papers and a small amount of money, and at the unexpected intrusion she sprang up and screamed wildly. Ross spoke to her in the Cherokee language, telling her to be seated, as she would save the con- tents of the trunk. She sat down again and the intruders told Ross that he and Payne were under urn-est and must prepare to accompany the squad to Milledgeville, where they were to be imprisoned. The soldiers lostno time in taking their prison- ers away. Ross was permitted to ride his own horse, while Payne was mounted on one led by a. soldier. As the little party left the hovel rain began falling and con- tinued until every man was drenched thor- oughly. Toward midnight Payne’s escort, in Order to keep himself awake,began hum- L -_.A - ___--4. _.....-A- Lama ” ming “Home, ‘home, sweet, sflveet hor'ne, wheprPeyne remarked : “Little did I expect to hear that song under such circumstances and at such a time. Do you know the author?” “No,” said the soldier, “do you ‘3” “Yes,” answered Payne, I composed it.” “The devil you did! You can tell that to some other fellow, but not to me. Look here. you made that song, you say ; if you didâ€"and I know you didn’t-you can say it all without stopping. It has something about pleasures and palaces. Now pitch in and reel it 05, and if you can't I’ll bounce you from your horse and lead you instead -4: :6 3’ The threat was answered by Payne, who repeated the song in a slow, subdued tone, and then sang it, making the old woods ring with the tender melody and pathos of the words. It touched the heart of the rough soldier, who was not only captivated but convinced, and who said that the com- poser of such a. song should never go to prison if he could help it. And when the party reached Milledgeville they were, after a preliminary examination, discharged, much to their surprise. Payne insisted that it was because the leader of the squad had been under the magnetic influence of Ross’ conversation, and Ross insisted that they had been saved from insult and imprison- ment by the power of “Home, Sweet Home,” sung as only those who can feel can sing it‘._ cu. -.QI. h ,,,J bf it. I have been dining hereâ€"one of the best clubs in London. But the potatoes are uni~ formly bad, waxy and indigestible. I do not write merely of a club grievance. I am an old housekeeperâ€"married over twenty years. I am passionately fond of potatoes, and I rarely ever get them to my liking. I had to go to the other day, and my host is a large potato grower. At dinner the potatoes were perfectly ravishing ! A few questions and answers elicited the re- markable fact that my own table was usually supplied by my host’s potatoes. But mine were always like those of the club, dull, sodden, waxy and abominable. His were light, dry, mealy and perfectly delightful. Being a bit of a cook myself I arranged with my host to spend the next forenoon in his kitchen. The potato is com- posed almost entirely of pure starch. To make this starch agreeable to the eye and the palate, its corpuscular elements must be split up by heat in the presence of excess of moisture, and at a temperature just a lit- tle higher than boiling water at the sea 1 level (212°). Now, I happen to live at such ‘ a height above sea level that water probably boils at 210°. I never get good potatoes. My host’s house was just as mine, and his cook said that the water in the well did not suit potatoes (she knew nothing about the sea level and temperature) so that she was obliged to “soften it with salt.” She put a big handful of salt in the pot- of po- tatoes, and I think raised the boiling point to about 216°. Then. after boiling them till the skins burst, she poured off the water, cocked the lid half off the pot, put the latter on the hob, and thus for about fifteen minutes she thoroughly dried them. The result was amazing and delighful. I Went home, and I made a series of careful experiments. You cannot l steam a potato into perfection unless you ‘enclosc the steam so as to raise its tem- I perature to about 216°. Potatoes must always be boiled in their skins and in a pretty strong saline solution, in order to get them to perfection, delightful to the palate and easy of digestion. After such treatment they may be made into soup; jthey may behaked or roasted (for a few l minutes only) in their skins; they may be mashed, cooked a la maitrc saute, or fifty things may be done with them: but first of all they must be boiled in their skins, with plenty of salt, and then well dried.
