He at- tempted to cast his ballot, but was turned down by an inspector. “Why, my friend, thee knows me. Thee knows that 1 live in thy ward,” said the Quaker. *1 know you by sight, but I must see your papers,” was the reply. “1 would not tell thee a falsehood. T have the papers at home, and 1 will go nd bring them to thee.” ‘Get the necessary papers and you can vote.” The old gentleman went home and got the papers and cast his ballot. The next year he again appeared at the polls and the same inspector challenged his vote, “Surely thee would not have me go again a mile to get thee my papers?” asked the Quaker. “Thee must know that I have a vote.” “No papers, no vote, sir,” answered the inspector. “1 thought thee might be so vicious,” sald the old man, as a smile played under his broadbrim, “and 1 have brought them with me this time. Thee will not have the pleasure of having me walk a mile for them. I will bring them next year, too.”—Washington Star. Wall Street’s Name. Wall street got its name from a mili- tary wall or earthworks that was thrown up by the Dutch in 1634. The English ‘colonists in Connecticut, lay- ing claim to all the land “as far as the ocean,” moved down and settled on Westchester creek in what is now Bronx borough. The Dutch of New Amwsterdam were in great fear of a hostile move down on them and sent an armed force to arrest the approach of the invaders. At the same time they hastily built the wall from river to river to make sure of effective resist- ance if the enemy should decide to make a hostile move against New Am- sterdam. For a time a regular patrol of soldiers was distributed along the military wall, detachments being as- TO'N l c HT | signed to keep close guard over the two High Class Vaudeville and Moving Pictures Burnison and Taylor gates in the wall, one at what is now Broadway and the other at the East river end. = At that period the wall marked the northern boundary of the town of New Amsterdam.—New York | Times.

By the year 1670 wooden chimneys and log houses of the Plymouth and Bay colonies were replaced by more sightly houses of two stories, which ‘were frequently built with the second story jutting out a foot or two over the first and sometimes with the attic story still further extending over the second story. This “overhang” is pop- ularly supposed to have been built for the purpose of affording a convenient shooting place from which to repel the Indians. This is, however, an bistoric fable. The overhanging second story was a common form of building in England in the time of Queen Eliza- beth, and the Massachusetts and Rhode Island settlers simply and naturally copled thelr old homes. England’s Silver Greyhounds. The “silver greyhounds,” as the king’s foreign service messengers are called, wear a broad silver disk stamp- ed with a greyhound in full gallop, sur- mounted with a crown. They are in- trusted with the most delicate duties. The chief qualification for the post, as defined by Lord Palmerston to a friend ‘who applied to him for the office, is a knowledge of the gentle are of ‘“hold- ing your tongue in several languages.” —London Express. Declined With Thanks. The Duke of Wellington, who had a taste for anything that Napoleon had liked, applied to David, the artist, who had painted Napoleon’s portrait, re- questing David to execute one of him- self. “Sir,” replied David, “I paint only bistorical characters.”—Life. He. Began to Talk Business. “I shall make you love me yet,” de- clared Mr. Stinjay determinedly. “I shall leave no stone unturned.” “Ab, that sounds something like!” exclaimed the fair girl. *If the stone weighs not less than a carat and i8 pure white you may interest me.” - Too Short. “I don’t ke these modern sermons much.” “Why not? *They're over before a man fairly gets to sleep.”—Detroit Free Press.

At a certain hotel in Liverpool an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were arguing as to which of their respective countries had the lightest men. The Irishman led the argument by saying: “‘We have men of Cork!" “That may be,” said the Scotsman; ‘but we have men of Ayr.” on the Thames.” | “There’s a New York man.” sald a | | Brooklynite, “whose daughter during !a winter in Nice got engaged to a cer- | Comedy. | tain Count Beau de Bean. | York man was rich at that time, but a “Well," said the cockney, “that is’ very light, but we have ‘lighter’ men. A Herculean Katydid. . F Bxperiments conducted by a natural- 1st attached to one of the government’s scentific bureaus at Washington ad- duced an interesting example of the strength of the kutydid. He harness- ed a katydid to a kind of sled made by folding n plece of ordinary note- paper. and then loaded the sled with various articles, The finsect proved able to draw, In addition to the orig- inal paper, twelve paper sheets each 8 by 4% inches, a large screw, two steel pens, a stone weighing two ounces and three and a half lead pen- cils. When :the weight became too lieavy to draw otherwise, the katydid got its fore feet over the edge of the table for a better hold, and on the addition of another weight it increas- ed the adhering power of its feet by moistening them in its mouth.—New York Tribune. Not a Parallel Case. A writer in th¢ Philadelphia Satur- day Evening Post tells of a big over- grown, bashful booby of a farmer's boy who was afraid even to speak to a girl, and whose father one day final- 1y lost patience and scolded him round- ly for not looking about and finding some girl to marry. *“Why,” be said, “at your age I had been married three years and had a house and farm of my own!" ““Well, but dad,” complained the boy. “that ain’t the same thing at all. You only had to marry mother, while I've got to go and hunt up some strange girl and ask ber to marry me!” When the World Was Drunk. Nowhere in all the world today can be found as many confirmed drunk- ards as there were among the Thra- clans, the Tberians, the Celts or the Scythians. The man who didn’t get drunk every day or two was regarded as queer. The Greeks were moderate drinkers untll they began to copy the luxury of the Persian feasts. The Ro mans imitated the Greeks. Then the whole world went on a mad drunk. It was a saturnalia. Caligula owes his niche in the hall of fame to the drunk- en banquets with which he made even Rome marvel. The excesses made fashionable by such poteutates as Lu- cullus, Nero, Verres, Tiberfus. Caligu- la, Vitellius and Domitian really began in the days of Pompeii, and they mark the beginning of the end of the repub lic.—Argonaut. Bell Clappers of Opium. The infinite patience of the Chinese 18 well illustrated in a smuggling story which T heard from an imperial mari- time customs official at one of the “bar- riers” on the upper Yangtze. The inei- dent occurred several years ago in an attempt to avoid-duty on a small amouaut of Szechuan opium that was headed for Shanghai. “An important article of down river | trade,” said the official in question, “is | the little belled and spangled cap worn by the Chinese children from two to six years of age. In passing a number of boxes of these in the spring of 190G I chanced to notice that the tinkle from the little bell in the center of the cap T' was examining was: rathér’ muf- fled. TForcing .it ‘open purely out of | ‘curiosity, I was -astonished to find a tiny pellet of opium hardly a quarter of an inch in diameter which had been substituted for the clapper. Of course we had to search the whole lot, and our aggregate haul from about 5,000 caps—a couple of days’ work for us— ‘was less than ten pounds of opium.”— ‘Wide World Magazine. Qetting Near to Nature. It was not always perfectly clear at first thought just what Ben Caldon meant when he spoke. The best a hearer could do was to guess at the most obvious meaning and let it go at that. In the matter of a captive moose, which belonged to Ben, the doctor fol- lowed this courfe. The moose was undoubtedly sick, and a veterinary had been summoned to attend him. Ben went out to the pen to assist the doc- tor. E “Is he mortal, doc?” asked Ben with extreme concern. “Are you asking if he is sick?” haz- arded the doctor. “Sure,” replied Ben, “only I meant 18 he goin’ to die from 1t?” “It's too soon to tell you yet,” re- plied the doctor, “but he has pneumo- nia pretty badly.” Ben's eyes grew round with surprise. Pneumonia in his experience had been confined to humankind. “Why, doc,” he burst out, “does a moose have features like a grown per- son?"—Youth’s Companion. ~ At Last. A well known clergyman, called to other duties, says a writer in the West- ern Christian Advocate, preached his last sermon before the fnstallation of his successor. ‘The local paper, in announcing the drder of services, gave it as follows: ! “Sermon by the Rev. Blank; solo and quartet, ‘Hushed at' Length.’” His Wanderings. Stranger—What wonderful tales old Blinks relates! He must have been & great traveler in his day.

The insanity of George ITI. was real- ly brought about by the dangerous lllness of his youngest and favorite child, Princess Amelia.

" The Difference. ‘It was at an afternoon concert, and In the stalls sat a smartly dressed girl and the young man who deemed her the most precious jewel of the uni- verse. Behind them sat a couple of the type of concert goers who came rather to discuss the audience than listen to the music. “Look at that girl just in front of us,” commented one in a very audi- ble whisper. “She's shop assistant at L's. I should like to know what busi- uess she has at a gathering of this sort. . And just look at her hat!
