I dropped upon the evening table some triangular brown? ish bits that looked at first sight like tlakcs of dried bark. "What are those? chips?' "No. Butterflies." Such a reply with a foot of snow on the ground and great probability of a foot more before morning was accept? ed as a pleasantry and not to be taken seriously. The Idea of catching but? terflies In a snowstorm seemed too "fishy" for serious consideration. On the approach of winter most of the butterflies, those delicate little creatures of fair weather, naturally die. But among their number there Is a whole hardy brood for which the rigors of winter possess no terrors. These are the angle wings, or vaues sids. They are frequently called "thaw butterflies" from tho fact that during the warm spells of winter they awake from their torpor and may frequently bo 6ccn sunning themselves nenr their place of hibernation or If the weather Is mild and pleasant flitting lightly about In the open places. These insects pass the winter both as chrysalis nnd as mature butterflies. Normally they remain in the crysnlls form only about two weeks, but It Is probable that the severe cold overtokes some before they are fully developed, which may account for tsouio of them hibernating as chrysalis.?St Nicholas. A Military Exquisite. Marshal Ney. who was as bandsooio is he wan brave, never appeared on the Acid nt n great battle nntll ho was dressed with scrupulous elegance and his beard carefully curled nnd per? fumed. When he was led out to execu? tion he was cool and calm as though he were going to open a dance, only | asking that the guus should be aimed low that his face might not be dls-j tlgurcd after death. Boots and Bottles. When Sir Tatton and Lady Sykes I were In New York many years ago they stayed at a hotel. It wns Kir Tatton's custom to put hla shoca out? side his door on going to his room for the night. These shoes wem enormous nud had soles that seemed to be about three Inches In thickness. So famous did they become that guests nt the ho? tel used to take their friends upstairs "to see Sir Tattoo's boots." Some? times a dozen persons could be seen in the corridor Inspecting the Bhoes. Lady Sykes was famous on her sld?.for her fondness for champagne at brt&kfast. THE ROUNDUP COLUMN. West Says That Turfrnon 8hould Let Oacobnll Alons. Cnless nil tliu signs fall baseball In the near future will have nn enemy to tight, nn enemy of tho most nunoylog typo?the race track man. Tho fight will not Im one of competition, but ona of eradication. The rnce track men want to break Into baseball. It la tho business of the farsceing and honest baseball men to keep them out. During tho past few years the na? tional game hau t>eon advancing by gi? gantic stride:'. Baseball has been go? ing over smooth reads while racing has been humping the bumps. Profea Hlonnl baseball has become a business In which good financial returns await tho Investor, besides barrels of sport. The racing people aro now awake to this fact, and they aro beginning to do a lot of figuring. Quite a number of horse owners and bookmakers, having saved some money from the general wreckage of their own pet game, aro willing to Invest in baseball, and In several recent in? stances good offers hnvo l>cen made I for blocks of stock In big lcaguo teami, the offers coming from men closely [connected with the racing business. Ty Cobb, tho lending batter of tho i IS* iV baseball season, is the real kid wheu It comes to the swatting busi? ness. II? has one ambition besides be? ing a crock baseball player?to bo a good clog dancer. Ty spends a great deal of Ills aparo tlmo In learning new fancy steps, and it I? said that tho clover southern ball player Is real? ly a flulshed artist In the style of dancing that appeal'! to him. But of course his baseball nssoclates hovo fun at the kld'a expense, and, al? though they know that ho is really a clever performer in tho Jig Hue. yet he would be tho last person to hear it from their lips. .Tuet boforo the world's championship series and while the Detroit club was resting for those nerve rucking gainrs Ty t'nbb was one rooming going through some fantastic steps when hi-jr Sam Crawford happened to come Into the room. "What do you think of these foot movements, Sam?" gayly cried Cobb as he went through some airy steps for tho edification of his big team mote. "You'd be a swell dancer, Ty," said Sam In the slow manner he has of speaking, "were It not for two things." "And what old two things are they?" cried Cobb as he paused. "Your feet," retorted, Crawford as he hastily backed out of the room. what's m a KiUX? Caeaar Attell, brother of the faoiooa Abe, had trouble with his nose one time nftcr a fight and thought he had a small bone broken inside. Uo went to Tim McOrath, the well known trainer of pugilists, and the latter told him to see a nose specialist. "What's tho price?" asked Caesar. "Why, thl3 fellow Is a wonder," re? plied Tim. "lie charges $20 for the first visit and only $0 for every visit after that." "All right, Tim, thanks. I'll give It a go and see him," chirped Caesar aa ho felt Ids nose and walked away. Next dny on hU way to the doctor'* he worried his bead off about the $2fi for the first visit, fie couldn't figuru out n way to beat blin until he knocked at the door and waited for the medico to open up. As the doctor pocked out Caesar shook bunds and with a Riullc from ear to ear said. ?Well, doctor, here I am ngnln." Pugilist George Gurducr, who Is npw in Frisco, says that ho is all In. Nn new story. Georgle. We all knew that more than two yeors ago. liaus Wagner announced that he would quit baseball for .two years, when along came the silver cup, and then Hans snld that lie would puck up so as to be ready for the trip to the training point. Bun Johnson proposes to suorten ball games by preventing pitchers from blacking new balls. It seems too bad to eliminate that thrilling moment which comes when a batter has two strikes, three bnlls and a new bull is tossed out to tho pitcher. Hero is a case for the antlvlce so tlety. General Watts, the champion three-ycnr-eld trotter of 1007, Is tobac? co spitting his life nway. Tho horse must get bin chewing or he won't try to win a race.

Tho House committee on roads and Internal navigation this morning re? ported the Senate bill providing for the repenl of the statute forbidding tin> paralleling of the Richmond, Fred orlcksburg & Potomac Railroad. No discussion preceded this action; in fact, the -whole matter did not oc? cupy more than a minute or no, nnd no recorded vote was taken. The committee, had previously 'reported the House .bill having the sann? end In view, but In order to accelerate tho hearing on tho floor It also farv ored the Senate bill. The two meas? ures are couched In precisely tho same, language, but tho Senatcg bill already has passed the lower branch of the legislature. None doubts that It will go through the House by a good majority. From present pros- i , pecta the bill will come up in the i House some time thla week. It will ' probably be made a special order.
