As soon as they were gone he determined to follow, and within an hour he made his appearance at the Tuileries, array- ed in all the glory of his best blue coat; white waistcoat and buff nankeen trousers. “He was promptly halted by a horri- fled flunky, who, pointing at his nan- keens in particular, endeavored by 'word and gesture to convince him that his dress was not de rigueur, and that he must retire. “‘My dress,’ said the American, with a gesture which comprehended in its sweep coat, waistcoat and trousers, 48 the same that I always wear in the general court at Boston! “No sooner were the words out than ‘the door opened as if by magic, and the now obsequious master of cere- monies, bowing low, and going before the American into the brilliant apart- ment, sonorously announced: “ ‘Monsieur le general court de Bos- ton!” to the infinite amazement of all Americans present, and to the great delight of the new made general, “All nationalties ‘bow before the Oaesarian democracy of America,” was my grandfather’s invariable tag,” con- cluded the story teller, with an amused smile.—Youth’s Companion. Three Great Things. True character, good habits and iron industry are impregnable to the as- saults of all the ill luck that fools ever dreamed of.—Joseph Addison. A Tribute to His Beauty. Joseph G. Cannon, ex-speaker of the house of representatives, was standing on the sidewalk in Pennsylvania ave- nue one day talking with a friend, ‘when an elderly, quick speaking man approached. “Excuse me,” said the elderly man, “but I've been watching you and won- dering if I'd ever seen you before.” Mr. Cannon smiled in answer. “Do you know,” continued the elder- ly man, “I thought at first you were Uncle Joe Cannon.” “They say that Uncle Joe and-Uncle Shelby Cullom both look like me,” re- sponded the ex-speaker. “Well, 1 don't knotv about that,” said the elderly man, “but T'll say this for you—you're a durn sight better looking than either of them.”—New York Times. Welcome to Everybody. In Russia newspaper correspondents have a hard time of it. Not long ago a nihilist conspiracy was discovered, and the correspondent of the London Stand- ard went to see the building. “Can I come in?” he asked the officer in char, “(Certainly,” said the officer. The correspondent entered and took copious notes, but when he turned to go the officer barred the way. “Anybody who likes may come in,” he explained. “but he is immediately arrested.” 5 In vain the prisoner pleaded; the of- ficer had his orders. The correspondent walked to the win- THE OFFICER BARRED THE WAY dow and saw the London Times man on the street. o “Hello!" he called out. nihilist place. Come up.” He came ind when he found him- self a prisoner he was furious. Then the two. correspondents spent the afternoon inviting other newspa- per flies into the spider’s web until there was quite a company of furious and cursing correspondents. and there they remained until released the next morning. *Here's the Substantial Dessert. Big Tim Sullivan took a Bowery scrapper in to dinner with him one night. By and by he said: i “What’ll you have for dessert?’ “What's dessert?”’ asked the Bowery man. “Something you eat after you're all through,” said Sullivan. “All right,” said the Bowery mam. “Bring me 8 beef stew.” Read Plomesr v NBR. rofessor ED BY A LOOK.

The writer concludes; “Go to the zoo for it. Take your umbrella, oitr way to the place where eagles, trures. falcons and such creatures blink on thefr like Gladstone’s did. Poke at him with your umbrella. The filmy vertical lids thropgh which he looks at the sun and opens to paralyze his prey will part. and then you will see what Blackie saw and understand his feelings.” ns M When Britain Fought For an Ear. Perhaps the most extraordinary ex- ample of Britain going to war for “no reason at all” occurred in the reign of George II. ‘One Robert Jenkins, an English merchant-captain, trading from Jamaica, arriving in England in 1738. reported that the sloop had been board- ed by the Spanish coast guards and that, though no proof of smuggling had been found. he had begu tortured and his ear torn off. All England, flew into an uproar. “‘Jenkins’ ear” divided par- tles and shook Walpole’s ministry it- self. The house of commons sent for Jenkins, and he was told to bring his ear with him. The incident grew into a crisis, though Walpole did his best to persuade people to keep their heads, but the popular indignation was: so great that the next year the govern- ment was compelled to declare war against Spain.—Pearson’s. The Isle of Yachts. Cowes had many ups and downs be- fore it finally attained its destiny as the headquarters of yachting. Sir John Oglander, writing in ~Stuart times. says, “I knew when there was not above three or four houses at Cowes,” but he had counted 300 ships at an- chor there, “and I was and am per- suaded that if our wars and troubles had not unfortunately happened it would have grown as fimous as New- port”” The wars complained of were the tivil wars. Foreign war had been a fine thing for Cowes, since the war- ships bought the island’s produce there. But the civil wars struck the gentry hard, and Sir John adds the coming of lawyers as another curse. The first at- torney was expelled from the island by the governor as a public danger. “Now peace and law hath beggared us all,” says Sir John.—London Chronicle. Books by Weight. Many years ago in San Francisco there was a bookseller who had an in- timate knowledge of fiction prices, but who was all astray when it came to general literature or scientific works.

An interesting method of protecting peach trees from frost during the win- ter has been practiced for several years at the dgricultural experiment station at Canyon, Colo. Early in No vember the earth is removed frow a circle about four feet in diameter round each tree, and water is turned in to saturate the soil. When the ground has become soft the tree is worked back and forth to loosen the roots and is then pushed over on its side. The branches uare brought together and fastened with a cord. and burlap cov- ered with earth is put over them. Thus the trees lie snug until spring, when the covering is gradually 100s- ened and finally removed, and they are raised and propped up.—Rocky Moun- tain News.
