The American duchess. followed by her motor, led Miss Cochon of Chicago out St. James street. ~Oh, there's the duke!" cried Miss Cochon of Chicago as they passed Brooks club, but the duchess said hur- riedly: “Don't look at him, my dear., or he will cut you. Don't you understand club etiquette?” “No; not if it differs from other eti- guette.” “Well.” said the duchess, “it differs altogether. The club, you see, origi- nated in London. The club bas been defined as the weapon wherewith the savage keeps the white woman at a distance. In club etiquette women are ignored. As you pass White's or the Carlton. the Junior Carlton or Brooks you will see your best friends. top hat pushed back and bands folded on stick. glaring solemnly at you from this win- dow or from that, but your best friends won't speak to you. It isn't club etiquette. And 1f you spoke to them it would be a worse faux pas than if you appeared at court under the influence of liquor.”—Cincinnati ¥nquirer. Delicate Generosity. One of the many stories of Grant which grip the hearts and minds of the people was once told by General Simon B. Buckner at a meeting of Confederate veterans. “Grant and I were chums at West Point.” began General Buckner. *I had befriended him at one time, and it can justly be said of him that he never forgot a kinduess. After the Union victories at Henry and T'onelson I met Grant on the boat at the surrender, and he followed me when I went to headquarters. He left the officers of his own army and followed me with that modest manner peculiar to him into the shadow and there tendered me his purse—pressed It iunto my hand without a word. “It seemed to me.” concluded Gen- eral Buckner, “that in the marvelous modesty of his nature he was afraid the light would witness that act of generosity and sought to hide it from the world. almost from his own soul.” Music of “The Lost Chord.” The music of “The Lost Chord” was composed under most touching condi- tions. Arthur Sullivan was watching by the bed of his dying brother, Fred- erick. One night shortly before death the invalid sank into a peaceful slum- ber. Arthur, who attended his broth- er day and night, took the oppor- tunity to read, and it happened that his eyes fell on Adelaide Anne Proc- ter’s poem. “The Lost Chord.” The verses impressed him greatly. and mu- sic appropriate to them suggested it- self to his mind. Taking a sheet of music paper, he began to write, and sc absorbed was he in his task that he sat hour after hour working at it until the song was completed. Probably the acute emotional conditions under which the music was romposed ac- count largely for the power to touch the emotions which undoubtedly “The Lost Chord” possesses.—George Leon Varney in National Magazine. A Go as You Please Railway. The Quest-Etat railway is a stand- ing joke in Paris on account of its slipshod ways. They tell there this story of an incident which happened when M. Briand was premier: A Russian prince was in Brittany and wanted to come up to Paris. He telegraphed to his secretary: “Shall Invalides tomorrow 8 a. m. Don't want accident to train. See Briand about it.” The secretary call- ed on the prime minister, who was most affable. *“It is not the general custom on the Quest-Etat to avoid ac- cidents,” he said, “but 1 will ask the director to see what can be dome.” The express arrived safely without the smallest mishap, but six hours and a half late, during all which time the Russian prince’s secretary had been waiting on the platform. His Three Questions. “I'll just bet you cigars for the crowd,” said one of a party of promi- nent men to one of the number who was bragging of what he could do, “that you can't answer ‘yes’ to any three questions I ask you.” “Done,” said the boasting one. “Well, were you ever in jail?” “Yes.” “Were you ever electrocuted?” “Yes.” “Will you pay for the cigars if I lose?” Curtain.—New York World. Cause For Thanks. Small Elmer, who had just received a severe scolding, said, “Am I really 80 bad, mamma?” “Yes, Elmer,” she replied, “you have been a very, very bad boy.” “Well,” rejoined the youngster after a moment’s reflection, “you ought to be thankful that I ain’t twins.”—Chi- cago News. Beyond the Husband Stage. “You say you are your wife's third husband?" said one man to another during a talk. *“No; I am her fourth husband,” was the reply. “Heavens. man,” said the first man, “you are not a husband; you're a habit!"—Ladies’ Home Journal. Nerve. Lady—Why do you give me this bit of paper? Tramp—Madam, I do not ke to criticise your soup, but it is not like mother used to make. Allow me to give you her recipe.—Fliegende Blat- ter.

Ardent missionaries were trying te convert the natives of a village in up- clad Africa . modesty as well as to Christianity and for that purpose pro- vided them all with more or less com- plete outfits of clothes. -The natives were delighted and spent several days simply in parading in civilized garb through the one narrow village street. But when Sunday arrived and the blacks thronged to the weekly church service. carrying the new clothes in bundles under their arms, the mission- aries were dismayed and feared some kind of barbaric outbreak. But since there seemed to bLe the usual min- gling of curiosity and reverence on the part of the natives they decided to ask no questions until after the service. There was a normal quiet until just as rhe sermon was begun. Then suddenly a huge chief. who had been squatting with his face to- ward the open doorway. leaped to his feet with an exclamation. Immediately the others of the tribe did likewise. crying. *“The sun—the sun!” unwrapped their bundles and proceeded to put on their clothes. *“What does it all mean?" inquired one of the white teachers. The old chief turned to him with equal amazement. “Of course,” said he, “we could not wear our beautiful ernaments when the rain might come and spoil them.”—New York Tribune. Real Leghorns. Little Willie was taken out into the country on a bright spring day. As he played with Nis sister in the farmyard a group of Leghorn chickens ap- proached. led by a Leghorn rooster. | “Willie." said the lirtle girl. “why are those chickens called Leghorns?" “Look at their ankles,” Willie re- plied. *“Don’t you see the little horns on them?" A Joke on Her Neighbor. A queer old woman had a horse which was the pest of the neighbor- hood. It especially delighted in graz- ing on a certain neighbor's lawn. This was a great annoyance to him: but, not wishing to have any trouble, he decided to buy the oid horse. He made rhe woman an offer of $10 for the old animal, which she declined. About two weeks later she came to her neighbor one day and told him she Wwas very sorry to part with the horse, but as she was in need of a little mon- ey she had decided to accept his offer. The neighbor said. “Very well.” and. drawing out his purse. handed her $10. She thanked him profusely and started to leave when fhe man be- thought himself and said. “Where shall I send to get the horse, madam?” “Oh. he is dead down yonder in the canyon,” the woman calmly replied and marched on out. The Judge's Whistle. The most concise summing up on record is attributed in a volume of legal reminiscences called “Pie Pow- der” to Baron Bramwell. The de- fendant’s counsel had closed his case without calling a witness whose com- ing bad been much espected. “Don't you call Jones. Mr. Blank?¥" said the Judge significantly at the close of counsel's address. *“I do pot, my lord,” replied the advocate. The judge turned around to the jury and gave vent to a low and prolonged whistle. *“Whe-e-ew!" he said. or, rather, whistled. *“Gentlemen, consid- er your verdict.” His Sudden Call. The Masons of Manhattan gave a banquet. The toastmaster called upon one brother whose name was not on the program. It rather confused him. “Look here, Mr. Toastmaster,” said | he, “this isn't exactly fair. You have called upon me to make an ass of my- self without any preparation what- ever.”—Kansas City Journal. According to Rule. “How is your mother this morning?” asked Mrs. Grey of the small boy who came with the milk. “She’s better,” he answered. “Can she sit up?” went on Mrs. Grey. “No,” answered the literal young- ster. “She sits down, but she stands up."—Woman’s Home Companion. The Lubricator. “Why do you always put a pitcher of water and a glass on the table before an orator?” “That.”” said the chairman of many reception committees, “is to give him something to do in case he forgets his | piece and has to stop and think."— ‘Washington Star.
