Bomorraic Wace. | Bellefonte, Pa., November 27,1908. EH ——————————————— Btormy Relations of the Miserly King and the Lavish Author. The world knows plenty about the elements of strength in the characters of great men, but less about their weaknesses. Here is a story that shows the other side of the natures of Frederick the Great and Voltaire: Frederick the Great had a leaning toward literature. He wrote poems, plays and booklets that, in his opin- fon, possessed rare merit. So it seemed fitting to him that great liter- ary men should fraternize, and he sent an invitation to Voltaire to be his great Frenchman's traveling expenses to the Prussian capital. Let it be explained at this point that Frederick was extremely penurious and that Voltaire was not only ex- travagant, but had many of the char- acteristics of what we would now call a grafter. It should also be under- stood that Frederick despised graft- ing, and Voltaire abhorred miserli- Voltaire accepted the invitation—and had an afterthought. Why not take a favorite niece with him? So Ke wrote to the king that if he would send an extra thousand louis he would “The old miser!” said Voltaire to a friend. “He has tubs of money in his treasury, yet will not grant me this wish.” However, Voltaire went to Berlin, but each found that he hated the other too much to make their friendship perma- nent. The king once gave Voltaire a pack- age of poems to revise. “See,” sald Voltaire to a German no- bleman, *‘what a quantity of dirty linen Frederick has sent me to wash!” The king thought his guest was too free with the chocolate and sugar and gave orders that he be put on a re- stricted daily allowance. Voltaire ret=''gted by gathering all the wax candles he could find in the halls and storing them in his trunk, Soon the royal palace became too hot for him, and he began to pack up. Then Frederick missed his package of poems. At once he scented a plot. Vol- taire intended to take the verses back home with him and palm them off as his own. Lord Macaulay has said that the poems were so bad that he ‘was convinced Voltaire woul not for half of Frederick’s kingdom have consent- ed to father them. But the king thought differently, being the author of the poems, So the Prussian monarch had Vol- taire thrown into jail at Frankfort and kept him locked up for twelve days. Sixteen hundred dollars that was found in his pocket was taken away from him. The king in the days of their friendship had given Voltaire a life pension of $3,200 a year, and the money that was confiscated was a semiannual installment, Thus ended their friendship.—Scrap Book. Spanish Nicknames. One of the peculiar ways in which Spanish differs from English is in the names the language gives to all peo- ple with a certain infirmity or peculiar- ity. A blind man is referred to as el ciego, a man with but one eye is a tuerto, a pug nosed man Is chato, one who is cross eyed is a bisojo, a cojo is a lame man, and a manco has but one arm, If he is humpbacked, he is a jorobado; if baldheaded, a calvo, and if his hair is very short he is a pelon. The feminine titles for the same classes are the same, with the exception that they end in “a” where the masculine terminate with “0.” These short names are used most commonly. In fact, they are applied as nicknames in many cases, and especially among the lower classes persons are addressed or re- ferred to only by these names. A Wedding Present. A widower in Scotland proposed to and was accepted by & widow whose husband had died but a month or two previously. To celebrate the occasion he asked the widow's daughter what she would like for a present. She wanted noth- ing, she said, but being pressed to name something she replied: “Well, if you want to spend siller you might put up a heidstone to my father.”—London Telegraph. The Ruling Passion. “John! John!” called the excited lit- tle wife. “W-what is it, Lucy?” muttered the big baseball player as he drowsily turned over in bed. “Why, there is a man downstairs.” “W-what's he doing?” “He's In the dining room after the plate.” “Trying to reach the plate? Put him out, Kelly; put him out at third!”— Kansas City Independent. Reproved. “I suppose,” said the sad eyed youth at the musical, “you know the differ- ence between bel canto and colora- tura?’ “Young man,” answered Mr. Cumrox geverely, “I never bet on race horses.” —Washington Star. Practical. “Darling, I mean to prove my love for you not by words, but by deeds.” “Oh, George, did you bring the deeds with you?'—Baltimore American. A TEMPERANCE UNION. Members Limited to Fourteen Drinks of Liquor Daily. “Signing the pledge” is no new thing, as is proved by researches™n Italy. Interesting particulars of what would appear to be the earliest examples of written pledges to abstain from gam- bling and excessive drinking are given in the Turin Studi Medievali by Signor Girolamo Biscaro, who has discovered three such documents in the archives of Milan. The first of these records is an oath sworn on the gospels by Gla- como Pasquali and Armanino Duca to the effect that for two years they will abstain from gambling in Pavia or within three miles thereof and will likewise refrain from inducing others to gamble on their behalf. The penal- ty for any breach of this oath is fixed at 5 soldi, payable to Papio Bovatorio, In the second document Perano de Bono promises Uberto de Proto to abstain from gambling for a certain period, exception being made on be- half of the game of bismentiro, at which, however, he was not to lose more than 2 denari on any one day. Further, he undertakes not to visit any inn for drinking purposes before the hour of vespers on Monday. A breach of either clause of the pledge involves the payment of § soldi to De Proto. By the third document Sileto Ferrario expressed his willingness to pay 12 denari to his brother Lamperio should he be persuaded to play for money in any place of public resort or to spend more than 2 denari on intoxi- cants in any one day. . The motive for these contracts is not stated, but it is presumed that they were entered into by employees whose masters wished to keep their proclivi- ties In check. There is nothing in the documents to suggest the existence of any organization for the promotion of temperance. The honor of being first in the fleld in this respect therefore still rests with Germany, where two temperance societies were founded In the sixteenth century. Of these the Order of St. Christo- pher was formed by Sigismund de Diettrichstein on Jan. 18, 1517, and the Order of Temperance by the landgrave of Hesse on Dec. 25, 1600. The mem- bers of the one order were pledged to abstain from toast drinking, and the members of the other undertook not to drink more than seven glasses of liquor at a time, and that not oftener than twice a day.—Chicago News. A PARISIAN RUSE. The Dressmaker’s Lure That Ensnared the Americans, Grace Margaret Gould tells In the September Woman's Home Companion some of the ways the Parisian dress. making establishments sell their goods to American women. Here is one ruse that she saw worked in one of the big- west establishments in Paris: There was a sudden and evident commotion among the employees. “The princess! The princess! She has arrived!” they cried. American eyes began to bulge. Out from a magnificent equipage stepped a regally gowned grand lady. attended by footmen and maid and re ceived by the whole bowing estab- lishment, to the neglect of all other customers. She was in a graclou: mood this day and easy to be pleased. praising their past efforts and select ing several of their new creations with out regard to cost. After she had made her departure amid like cere- monies there was no need of the sales woman bothering her head ever sug gestions. Every American woman present wanted a gown copied from the one the princess had bought, and she got it after much pleading and at a price far beyond the limit she had set. And the point of this fable is this: The princess was no princess, but an employee of the house. Every French gown has two prices- an American price and a French price It is needless to say which is the greater price. Along about Xpril the cry goes up. “The Americans are coming!” and then the prices go up too. Along about November, when the Americans have left, yon might almost say they are giving away gowns, only the Frenchman never does give away anything, Then it is that the French: woman in general and the French actress in particular selects her ward: robe. The Bad Spot. An Irishman one day was told to put up a signboard on which were the words, “To Motorists—This Hill Is Dangerous.” Away went Mike with the signboard and placed it at the bottom of a very steep hill, A few days later his em ployer went to see how the board was put up and, finding it at the bottom of the hill, sought and found Mike. “You blooming fool!” he cried. “Why didn’t you put that sign in the right place?’ “Shure and ain't it? asked Mike “Don’t all the aceldents happen at the bottom ?"—Harper's Weekly.
