The other night after Harker was safe in bed there came a mysterious tapping below his window.. ‘Harker slipped out of his covers and cautious- ly raised the sash. “What's: wanted?” he demanded, his teeth chattering “I just vanted to tell you,” came a muffled voice, “that there’s a hand moving around just inside your cellar window.” With visions of burglars Harker picked up his revolver and slipped through the lls in his pajamas. Cautiously he searched the cellar with a lighted candle, but it was empty. Outside on the sidewalk stood the stranger, 1 don’t see any burglars down here.” called Harker nervously. “Who said anything about burglars?" laughed the stranger. “Why. didn’t you call me out of bed to tell me that there was a hand mov- ing around near the cellar window ¥ “Sure. it's the dial on the gas meter It w while you sleep.”—Ihiladel- phia Times,, Puffs. “Miss Footlittle’s reputation and her complexion are very much alike.” “Meaning that they are both bril- eh?” they are both made with a puff.”—Roston Trauscript. Pope’s Preference. ‘The Prince of Wales of Pope's time once said to the poet: . Hit Him Coming and Going. An attorney went to a livery stable and hired a team for two or three bours and at the end of that time, in a state'of absentmindedness, left the team at another livery stable, where it remained eight days! At stable No. 1 there was no worry: about the team. They knew the uttorney was perfectly good for the pay. They knew that if he kept the team a month the bill would be paid promptly on presenta- tion. They presumed that he knew what he was about and c¢dncluded it was his business and .not theirs. At stable No. 2 there was equal freedom from ansxiety. ‘The attorney came there, left the team and went away, saying nothing. They put the horse into a stall and “chalked It down™ on the office slate, knowing bim to be a business man who paid cash. Discov- ery came at last, and the lawyer was presented with two bills, one for eight days' hire and the other for eight days' keep. He paid both bills promptly. but it cured him of being absentmind ed for nearly a whole month. The Coffee Cup In Persia. The expression “to give a cup of coffee” has in Persia a somewhat omi- nous significance. This Is due to the fact that the coffee cup Is one recog- nized, medium for conveying poison Some years ago the governor of Aspa- dana, baving long been at daggers drawn with the chief of a powerful mountain tribe. determined in this way to put an end to allitrouble.

The buyer brought an action against the dealer, who tiurned the tables by declaring that *liis picture was genuine and the other was #. copy. f Achenbach himself was summoned by the courts to tell which was which. Amazed at the absolute similarity of the two paintings, he gazed at them for a long time, pected them closely, front and gack, sniffed them and then frankly admitted he could not tell which was the original and which the eopy.

But at last one morning when the chief came into his host’s presence he was coldly received, and an attend- ant soon stepped forward with a single | cup of coffee in his hand. which he of- fered to the guest. The: latter could not fail to understand that he was doomed. Preferring, however, steel to poison, he decliped the cup and was thereupon, at a signal from his host, stabbed to death. Salad of the Shoes. Freshmen bave troubles the world over. The “conscrits” as they are called at the famous Ecole Polytech- nique in Paris, are subjected to an amusing initiation called the salad of shoes. The freshmen report some days before the upper class men so that they can receive thelr uniforms and become familiar with the routine of the school. The first morning after thelr tormentors return the freshmen are aroused by a demand: tHat they throw their shoes out of the windows into the courtyard. The shoes are gathered into a heap, and, kneeling in a big circle around this, the fresh- men are obliged to go through some ridiculous gymnpastic movements at the command of their superiors. When the study bell rings they have but a minute to appear in the class rooms, and it is a strenuous minute around that pile of shoes. Tennyson Disturbed. This story is told in Robert H.
