Seidlitz_was standing on the bridge over the River Odor at Frank- furt, 'k asked him what he would do if blocked up by the enemy on both sides. ‘Without a word, Seidlitz made a high dive from the bridge into the deep cur- _ rent and swam ashore. ‘While he was stern and unrelenting, ‘was just in his treéatment of and of the soldiers. ground | erick wved | few who ever got the better of sult the miller, who relied on the justice of his cause to thwart the King. “If you seek to evict me,” he said, “I will bring an action against you in your ed (own courts.” Rather than resort to violence, Fred- decided to accept the inconven- ience. He had a hardy wit and there were him in an interchange, but once Frederick had to lower his colors to an inferior officer. A subaltern of his guard needed a watch badly, but was too poor to buy one. Thinking that it was beneath his dignity to appear before the King with- out at least appearing to have a time- piece, he attached a bullet to his chain and carried it in his pocket. Prederick perceived this pretense and resoived to have a little fun with the ibaltern. “What time is it?” he asked one day. It was impossible to escape a revela- tion. But the quick-witted soldier drew out his bullet with a brave flourish. “My watch,” he said, “points to but one hour, your majesty—that in which I shall die for you.” Prederick, in his threadbare uniform, forgot that he was the apostle of econo- my and rugged simplicity. He drew from his pocket his own fine watch, set with brilliants. “My dear fellow, accept this.” he said magnificently. “You deserve it.” (Copyright, 1930.) e iapatte, Croquettes.

March 20, 1857.—Ever since the in- auguration of President Buchanan, on the 4th day of this menth, Washington has been filled with office seekers. In- deed, many of them came long bef the inauguration to seek support from Senators and Representatives in their efforts to land jobs under the new ad- ministration. But today the office seekers of all de- grees, who are to be met everywhere on the streets, are not so jolly as they were a week or 50 ago. Then they were of hope and fun, every man of them. Now the game has become serious, and they appear, so far as their counte- nances betray their feelings, to realise that the chances are more than even against any one of them that can be named. ‘There are at least five men here for is to be filled, and four inted. ‘Many other their time and every office that are sure to be disap) persons are spendi their money after the interests of their friends. It is a thankless and provoking business, “bringing one’s flesh down and furrowing one'’s_countenance with wrinkles,” says The Evening Star this afternoon. “These facts account for the so sud- den change in the appearance of the class of strangers to which we allude,” continues The Star. “Yesterday royster- ing heydey fellows, in manner and tone, every man of them, and today nervous, brief of speech and puckered aroun: the mouth as though just rising from making & dinner of u rsimmons.” A very beautiful carriage for Presi- dent Buchanan has just been finished by S. W. Jacobs of iladelphia. It is a large coach, trimmed inside with dark silkc linings of & water pattern, exceed- ingly rich. The outside mountings are of pear], inlaid with silver. ‘The carriage has a novel contrivance in the form of a step, which is moved inward and outward by means of a lever al to the door. When the door is closed the st is beneath the body of the coach and cannot be seen. ‘The ting of the exterior is a rich, dark olive color. Two very handsome Jamps, of an entirely new design, deco- rate the front of the carriage.

A parent says, “If you get & re- port, Sonny, I'll give you a ride in the park on the pony.” The child gets the good mark, but it is not convenient to take him to the park just then. “Oh. T'll do it. You give me a chance. One of these days I'll get to it.” Yes, but by then all the joy of the reward has departed. Any fun it held was in the moment of victory. Riding into the conquered city loses its charm if one has to walt until old age creeps pon him before the parade starts. A still worse mannerism is promising a child a “good spanking when I get you home.” If you must spank, spank at once and be done with it. The spank- ing will have its effect if administered promptly. If it is delayed, you will for- get it. You don’t want to spank when you have cooled off. (Which shows that you were wrong in promising to spank at all) And the shadow of punishment hanging-over a child is very bad for €€ Hi gh’, Favorite Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.
