GREAT TRIBUTE TO VICTOR HUGO

ears after his death aro shown In the
following peroration of tho speech de-
livered by M. Gabriel Hanotaux at tho
Pantheon on behalf of tho French
academy In honor of ' the centenary
celebration of tho poet's birth "He

spasm an Immense thunder rolled
through and through tho city out Into
the country and thonco through all the
world. The universe lifted Itself and
stretched out palms to hlni. The arch
of triumph decked Itself In mourning
veils whllo the poets ot Prance kept
vigil over his body as ho lay beneath
It. Cuirassiers In shining breastplates
held lighted torches rigidly through
tho djing hours of the night. And
when the functcal dawn crept upon
the sky. when the torches paled and
when behind tho poor hearse which
carried his remains a great crowd sucn
as ho loved so well ranged Itself In
silent grief-stricken homage; when
tho whole city was filled with a tu-
mult In which the grief of death
mingled with tho Joy of Immortality
then he majestic still and already
becomo legendary headed tho cortege

leon's hill with that of Clovls and or

dered before him the gates of the Pan-
theon opened that he might carry his

"One day not very long ago In tho
Ituo di Hivoli Paris" says a Snn Fran-
cisco writer "I encountered a bedi-
zened old dame walking with a young
nnd handsome man tall very slim and
well dressed. She was a little woman
and walked stlllly as though her boots
wero too tight. Sho was radiantly
dressed In white. A white parasol was
spread over her head on which was
perched an elaborato white hat Hei
faco was richly painted with a pair ol
crimson lips as tho deepest note ol
color and a fringe of auburn curh
was on her forehead. She looked hag
gard nnd aged. There was something
curiously familiar about her face aac"
as she spoke I suddenly saw who il
was Adellna Pattl and her young hus
band. It was a shock. This was whai
the last of the great prima donnas hat)

Kplernm nn Clubs.
Tho immense growth of London
clubs anu of the opportunities afforded
for games of chance may servo to re-
call an epigram which "Bentley's Mis-
cellany" attributed sixty years ago to
Sydney Smith.
He was at n Sunday dinner at Hol-
land House when the hostess said that
woman's passion for diamonds wa3
surely less niinous than man'n pas-
sion for play at his club. Thereupon
Sydney Smith took a card and wrote
the following Impromptu:
Thoughtless that all that's brightest'
fades.
Unmindful of that knave of spades
Tho sexton and his subs;
How foolishly we play our parts!
Our wives on diamonds set their
hearts a'
We set our hearts on clubs.
