I“ 8 VICTIMS or VESUVIUS " f aunvmo OF THE CITIES OF POMPEII Ii: " AND HERCULANEUM. The Memorable Eruption by Which E This Grim Destroyer Spread Horror l and Death Under ltl Rain of Vol- . canic Ashes. Pompeii is believed to have had rather more than 20,000 inhabitants. The city stood on an elevation overlooking the , sea, the whole of the bay of Naples be i ing in view, while in the background l loomed grim Vesuvius, the destined de- l stroyer. Close by flowed the river Sarno. . which was crossed by a bridge. The vol- I cane was supposed to be extinct, and its sides were cultivated all the way up to the summit. Grapes were largely grown, and wine making was an important in- dustry in the neighborhood, which like- wise produced cabbages famous for their excellence. It was the city of the clan of the Pom- ‘ peys. founded by the Oseans. an ancient Italian tribe, in. the sixth century B. U. or earlier, afterward conquered by the Samnites, a rival tribe. and evenually absorbed by mighty Rome. The culture of the people was very Greek. They wor- shiped various Greek gods and used the Greek names for their weights and meas- ures. Being so beautifully situated and having a delightful climate. Pompeii was a favorite resort of wealthy Romans. many of whom had villas there. Cicero '7 had a handsome “cottage,” as it would I now be called, and the imperial family maintained a paIaCe close by. The villas were mostly on the high ground back of the town toward Vesuvius and facing the sea. Small earthquakes were frequent, but not much was thought of them. On the 5th day of February in the year 63 A. I). there came a tremendous shOck. which was a warning of what was to follow. It threw down a large part of the city. in- cluding the beautiful temples of Jupiter, Apollo and Isis, but most of the damage was repaired by the time of the great ca- tastrophe. The eruption which was destined to be so memorable began early in the morning of Feb. 24. 79 A. I). Spectators looking from a great distance saw a mighty cloud spread and overhang the city like a vast and ominous umbrella. There was still plenty of time to get away in safety, and doubtless a majority -of the people did escape before the impending volcanic storm began. Judging from the number of skeletons thus far discovered it seems probable that not more than about 2.000 persons actually perished. However. a great many who attempted to leave in boats may have lost their lives. Admiral I’liny. with a fleet. was not far away. and letters brought by mounted couriers reached him as early as 1 p. m. that day begging him to come as quickly as possible with his ships and help to rescue the people.

Thus was completed the destruction of Pompeii. When it was all over, the roofs of many of the houses still emerged above the volcanic debris which had over- whelmed the city. IIerculancum. howev- er, had wholly disappeared finder the streams of mud, 65 feet deep in spots, which had flowed over it.

Partner. “Old man Ritchie was a great char- acter in the early days on the Mississip- pi,” said a local sportsman, spinning yarns about antebellum gambling and gamblers. “He had made a living out of cards for years and, of course, was up to all the tricks of the trade, but he was such a bland, innocent looking old boy that he was continually being picked out as a mark by sharpers. On one occasion, while he was loafing around Little Rock, a very smooth individual of the name of Gridley, who had just drifted into the country from somewhere up in New Eng land, made his acquaintance and, after sizing him up pretty carefully, took him aside and proposed that. they go in to- gether and open a game of faro. “ ‘I have 253,000) said Gridlcy, ‘and if you can raise a similar amount we will start a nice little getfi‘lemen's club, caters ing to none but t, boiled shirt trade, and the chancesiai . ave can clean up a big pot of money? ‘I guess I can get the three thousand all right,’ replied the old man. ‘but we will have a mighty small :apital. Somebody may come in and break us in an evening.’ ‘Oh. that’s a risk we’ve got to run.’ said Gridlcy, ‘but we won’t encourage high play. Our spe- cialty will be tone and respectability.’ “To make a long story short. they went in together, and on the first night Ritchie went out to get supper, leaving his part- ner in charge. \Vhen he returned, Grid-i ley pulled a long face. ‘IVe‘ve had bad luck,’ he said. ‘W'hile you were gone a little bowlcgged fellow came in and won $5003 ‘Oh, well, that's a risk we have to run!’ replied Ritchie and said no more about it. Next night it was the same story. ‘That confounded bowlegged fel- low was in again while you were cating,‘ said Gridley. ‘and won out another $500.’ ‘Too bad.’ grunted Ritchie. “but I guess we'll catch even on somebody else.’ “The following evening the old man said he didn't feel hungry and offered to look after things while Gridley got a cup of coffee. The New Englander was back in about three minutes. ‘IVell, partner.’ said Ritchie. sighing, ‘fortune certainly does seem to be :Ig'in us.’ ‘IVhy, how is that'." asked (lridley, looking startled. ‘Tllat doggoned bowleggcd f.‘l- ler was in ag'in.’ replied the old man. heaving another deep sigh. The New Englander changed Color and for a mo- ment seemed at a loss to know what to say. ‘\Vellâ€"â€"erâ€"what did he do‘." he finally managed to inquire. ‘IIe busted us.’ said the )"‘ 'J“') c-ilmly."â€".\'cw Or- leans BUYING A GLASS OF SODA. An Experience “‘lilch Caused a. Sign to Be Changed. “Ah." said the young man to himself as be caught sight of :I sign which read. "Soda \\'atcr.

There was a wicked leer in tl‘e drug clerk's eye as he took up a glass and went from end to end of the Sndll foun- tain. taking from each tap a few drops of the flavor it contained. The sizzing soda was then introduced into the mixture, and the concoction was set before the customer. IIe tasted it, but seemed not, to like It. Then he put his 5 cent piece on the coun- ter and walked hurriedly out. The clerk wore a triumphant smile. but next day the sign was altered to read: “Soda “'ater, Any Flavor, 5 Cents.”â€" __ An Artist‘. Sarcasm.

As the paint- er’s face fell. the worthy town councilor hastily added that they only wanted a half length. “Oh. of course, that makes a differ- ence," said the artist urbancly. “\Vhich half would you prefer. gentlemen '3” Tower: of Silence.

Seem Remarkably Queer. but They Do Happen. “Speaking of luck.” said a Now- Or- leans insurance man after somebody in the crowd had told a story arbour hoodoos, "I had a queer experience once with a straw hat. I bought it one evening on my way home and had walked hardly two blocks after putting it on when a piece of lumber fell off a scafiolding under which I was passing and struck me on the shoulder. It knocked me over, and as I fell my new but flew off and landed in the gutter. I was pretty badly bruised, and the hat was so soiled that I. sent it next morning to the cleaner's. I was laid up for three days by the accident, and just as I was leaving the house for the first time a messenger boy 'came to the door with the hat. I put it on and start- ed for the office, but as I was crossing Carondelet street I missed my footing and fell into a partly dug conduit trench. A sprained ankle was the net. mlt of that mishap. and when I came home in a cab my wife held up her hands in holy horror. “ ‘1 believe that’s an unlucky hatl’ she declared. looking around, womanlike, for a handy scapegoat. ‘Every time you wear it you get hurt.’ My brother-in-law, Jim, was in the house at the time. and he laughed heartily. “Give it to me,’ he said, ‘and I’ll break the charm.’ ‘All right,’ said I, and he carried it off. Early next morning his servant girl brought it back neatly wrapped up in tissue. ‘Mist’ Jin. says he ain‘t got no further use fer dis yore hat.’ she announced. ‘IIe done put in on las' night, an or back run inter him an like ter bust him open.’ It was a fact. He had collided with a cab in front of tho theaters and was badly hurt. Of course that clinched the sinister reputation of the hat, and to satisfy my wife I gave it to Ath Mandy, our cook, and told her to throw it into the trash barrel. “Now comes the really queer part of the story. Two or three days afterw rd a boy came to the house at about sk with a message from police headquarters, saying that Pete, a faithful old darky who looks after our horse and buggy, had been arrested for lighting. I knew him to be a very pcaceable old fellow. so I hurried down to investigate and found him sitting in a cell with his head swath- ed in gory bandages. It seemed that he had been Set upon by a couple of dnrky roughs and severely beaten before the otlicer arrived and put all hauls under arrest. I offired myself as his surety. and in a few moments he. was released. ‘I done got er mi'lity bad crack on th’ head.’ he said in thling about the fracas. ‘but I wouldn't kecr if that trifliu nigger hadn't spiled my new hut.’ As he spoke he hcld up the wreck by the brim, and somctlling about it struck me as being fa- miliar. ‘\\'lIcrc did that but Come from '1' I asked with a sudden misgiving. ‘Aunt Mandy give it to me.’ he replied. I snatch- cd it out of his hand and kicked it into a sI-wcr opening. ‘I'cte.’ said I solemnly, ‘you'd better thank the Lord that you're alive,’ "The hoodoo but hasn't been heard from sillcc, and I trust sincerely I have out a period to its inieeiun of crime.” POETIC LEGEND OF PECOS.

Served In Some new York Restaurants. “I noticed,” said the observant Cleve- {and man who recently returned from a trip, “that probably 90 per cent of the' patrons of the better class of New York restaurants drink wine-at least they call it wine. It comes in bottles and is sour. Perhaps wine is as good a name as can be devised for it. Anyway they throw it in with the rest of the table d’hote menu. “ ‘I don’t care for any wine,’ I said to the waiter one day as he put a pint bot- He spread out his hands. ‘Eet makes no deeference whateffer,’ he politely said. ‘But if m’sieur will drink We have too large of zee stock, and we are anxious to r-r-reduce.’ Then he went away and brought me another bottle. “A man who looked reliable told me one day that there was a down town res- taurant where they give you wine with table d’hote for 35 cents; without wine, 33 cents. ‘It’s cheaper to take the wine,’ 3;: said. ‘It disguises the taste of the nner.’ “It is undoubtedly true that nobody ever became intoxicated on table d’hote wine, but I have no hesitation in believ- ing that a man might get dreadfully acid- ulated if he drank enough of it. I don't know how much enough would be, and I never heard of anybody who had the pa- tience to try the experiment. At the same time it is certainly true that the res- taurant proprietors seek to produce a taste for wine in their patrons. In sev- eral of the higher class places th‘é‘menn bears the followng warning: ‘Guests who do not order wine will be charged 25 pcr cent extra.’ IVhen I caught sight of this announcement, I said to the waitL er, ‘It is against my principles to drink wine.’ IIe shrugged his shoulders and coldly replied, ‘V'e also hat on? brinciples, m’sieur.’ “They always call you ‘m'sieur,’ no matter what dialect they speak. An Irish waiter on l~‘orty-second street who asked me in a highly threatening manner if the clams~ were good, was particular to address me as ‘muchccr.’ The clams were bad. but he was a large and belligerent waiter, and [hastened to assure him that I wasn't hungry for clams. “ ‘Ve also haf our brinciples, m’sieur.’ said the waiter in the high priced restau- rant. I hesitated, and just then a kind henrtcd stranger on the opposite side of the tal‘le helped me out of the dilemma. Leaning forward, he said in a hoarse \vliispm': ‘(lrdcr the wine, and I'll drink it. You can be true to your principles. and T11 be two to mine.’ "He was a red rose“ man.
