THE GREAT American Was Not Awed by Grouchy Poet Laureate. writer in Harper's Weekly brings light an Interesting anecdote of Tennyson which well illustrates the singular habits of the great laureate in his intercourse with his friends. The poet was not only brusque and rough, but he was domineering and exacting, and most other men were afraid of him. But an American schoolmaster who for many years maintained a great intimacy with him had no fear in his heart, and sat and smoked on an equality with the soverfireside. eign singer by Farringford "One evening," says the writer, "when the two were thus together, Tennyson said that he would depart from his custom and narrate a personal experience; but he had suffered a good deal from repetitions of his tales by those to whom he had told them, and he would be obliged to ask his friend never to repeat what he was about to hear. The American smoked on lor a few seconds while Tennyson waited for the promise, and then he said: 'My lord, in my country a gentleman would never make that request of another gentleman.' said the poet, and looked out of eyes that wondered if the quiet smoker opposite knew how much he'd said. Then he told the story." A to !' CLEVER SCHEME THAT FAILED. Old Salesman's Advice Left Worse Off Than Before. Firm Henry Clews is telling a new story which he says he got straight from the Canal street district, says the New York Times. A young jobbing firm, the tale tells, overbought for the fall trade. Their heaviest mistake had been in the line of overcoats, which it looked they would have to carry over a season. Efforts to get cash for the stock were fruitless, except at ruinous rates. At last the firm r went to an in the trade for advice. "Well," said the man of experience, "you've got a pretty good list of customers. Just divide the coats up into lots of thirteen each. Send a batch apiece to some of your sharpest customers, but make out the bills for twelve. They'll be so tickled to get one coat for nothing that they'll take 'em all." The scheme had been tried before the men met r waited for his again. The "Well, didn't they keep the praise. coats?" he asked. "Yes," returned the jobber, sadly. "One eacb.

A corps of laborers was hired and a tramway was run from the larger of the hills to one of the nearby barrancas. Then the professor set his wondering laborers to scraping off the surface of the hill. He was not long in waiting for his reward. Soon the clean, white sides of great blocks were glistening in the sun. That was some time ago. Since then the work has been prosecuted with vigor. Dr. Batres and his corps of laborers have almost cleared the larger of the hils and have unearthed a pyramid 690 feet square at the base and over 210 feet high. But, more wonderful still, they have found that the pyramid rests on immense subterranean chambers which latter are divided into great halls and living rooms, evidently the abodes of ancient rulers and priests. These are being vigorously excavated and explored, and it has been learned that they extend in an unbroken chain to the other and slightly s of a mile smaller pyramid, distant. This latter Is also a covered pyramid and, according to heiroglyph- ics deciphered at its base, was called in ancient times Metzli Itzacual, oi "Pyramid of the Moon." Some work has been done in the scraping away of the dirt from this pyramid and at its base it measures From researches to 450 square feet. date. It Is believed that this pyramid will reach between 137 and 140 feet In height. From the Pyramid of the Moon to the Pyramid of the Sun there has been uncovered a paved roadway 1,200 meters In length This road was called Miccaotl, which in the language of the ancients meant "Road of the Dead." It was the main thoroughfare of the city, which the professor believes will prove to have heen founded thousands of years ago Near the Pyramid of the Moon, a monolithic statue of colossal dimen-slonhas been partly exposed.

Lieutenant Grant and Miss Root were married in the great south room on the first floor of the residence, a room which Is as long as the house Itself. It is a huge drawing-rooknown in the days when the Countess Cassinl presided over social affairs in the residence as the "yellow room. ' Miss Root had no bridesmaids. Several of Lieutenant Grant's classmates Bad other army officer friends were present at the wedding, and his cousin, Potter Palmer, Jr., of Chicago, was his best man. After the wedding Lieutenant Grant and his bride left for a short honeymoon trip. They will go to Clinton, N, Y., to be present, December 7, at the wedding of the bride's brother and Miss Stryker. From there Lieutenant Grant will take his bride directly to Boston, where in the suburb of Brook-linthere is a pretty little house awaiting their occupancy. The house was selected by the bride whose mother recently has interested herself In furnishing It completely for housekeeping. Lieutenant Giant was ordered a short time ago from Wash ington to Boston to carry on his engineering duties under the direction of Major Edward Purr, who has charge of the river and harbor work along the Massachusetts coast. Miss Root made her debut in New York siveral seasons ago and has twice been a cabinet girl, although she was extremely young when her father was secretary of war in President McKinley's second administration. She is a gifted linguist, an ac complished musician, and is devoted to outdoor sports. She is an expert horsewoman, and her smart trap is familiar to all the uptown sections of Washington. Lieut.
