A waiter in a coffee shop in Vienna was arranging the tables, seeing that | the ware that is usually kept on them | was in order, when the door opened | and a gentleman walked in and asked for a cup of chocolate. “You are too early,” said the waiter. “Do you suppose we can serve guests till 2 o'clock in the morning and be up at 4 to begin another day? You'll get nothing here till 9 o'clock. Be off with you!” The stranger made no reply, but left the shop. Walking across the street, the waiter watching him the while, he entered another coffee shop and made the same request. “Sit down, sir)’ sald the landlord cheerily. “The chocolate will be ready in a moment.” While the guest was waiting for his chocolate he conversed with the land- lord. He did not take the proffered seat, but walked back and forth. He asked many questions about what was going on in the neighborhood—whether the people were satisfied with their condition, how the city government suited them and if the inspectors trou- bled them much. While they were talking the land- lord's daughter, Rosina, a very pretty girl, came in with the chocolate. The stranger wished her good day and made some very pretty speeches to her. When she went out, pouring the chocolate, he sald to her father: “She is a nice girl. But I warn you that flowers are not always in bud por even in bloom. She should be married before she fades.” The landlord, who stood before his guest, with a napkin on his arm, his shoulders, spread out on either side and rolled up 8 his hands his eyes. “She is fading very fast,” he said, “not from age, for she is only nine- teen, but because she loves a young man, and since I have no dowry to give her she cannot marry him.” “Who is the young man?" asked the “He is an optician, a maker of glasses, a fine young man. He served his. term in the army and was very brave. He fought for the emperor at Sadowa and received a medal for sav- ing a standard from falling into the hands of the enemy. He was badly wounded and was brought home here and put in a hospital. My daughter was serving as nurse, and she took care of the young soldier. It was doubtless due to her care that he re- covered.” “Why do you not represent the case to the emperor?’ asked the stranger. “He should pay for the lives of his soldiers. Your daughter should re- ceive a dowry from the government for saving the brave young man.” “The emperor! The poor man is al- ready beset by the cares of stats without being troubled by a poor cof- fee house keeper's daughter. What with keeping so many different peo- ples together under his flag one would think he would go crazy.” “How much dowry does your daugh- ter require to marry her soldier lov- er? “A thousand crowns.” By this time the stranger had swal- lowed his chocolate. “1 would advise you,” he said, “to send your daughter with her lover to the emperor that she may tell how she saved one of his soldiers, and perhaps he will give her a dowry.” “Are you crazy?" asked the landlord and | in astonishment at such a proposition. “Not at all. I am perfectly sane.” “Why, she could not even get an audience with the emperor. And if she did it would be shameful for her to bother the good man with her af- fairs.” “Nonsense! The emperor would be glad to listen to a petition from a young girl who had saved a life for him. And, as for securing an audi- ence, 1 wi" attend to that for you. Give me pen and paper.” The landlord, wondering whether he was awake or dreaming or out of his senses, brought writing materials, and the stranger scribbled something on a bit of paper and handed it to the land- lord, saying: “Give that to your daughter and tell her to go to the palace tomorrow at 12 o'clock noon. And be sure she takes her soldier with her. They will be admitted to the emperor's presence by presenting that paper, and I guar- antee that he will listen to them kindly." Without waiting tc make explana- tions or to reply to questions the man left the shop. The landlord as soon as he had gone rushed to the door and watched him as he strolled leisurely a a ma——— | ———_—" ——" Native Life and Conditions on the Isthmus of ] Panama. [Continued from page 2.] down the street. The waiter opposite who had refused to serve the stranger also went to the door, wondering what had so interested L's neighbor in the man. Togther they examined the pa- per he had left, but could make noth- ing out of it except three letters—F. J. and R. All that day and in the evening the family of the landlord, with Rosina and her so'dier, discussed the matter of risking making fools of themselves by going to the palace. The decision was to go. They were admitted on the stranger's pass, and on entering a room where the emperor raceived petitions they saw that he was the stranger who had drunk choc- olate in the!> coffee house. He received them with a smile and without requiring them to state their case handed Rosina a check for a thousand crowns. ——————————} The Romantic Story of an Old Cali. fornia Miner. “The finest gentleman I ever knew,” sald Mark Twain once, “was an oid California miner who could barely write his own name. He was a forty- ainer, and he and his partner had struck it rich in the early days. The old man had neither chick nor child. snd he had worked hard all his life, and when he did get his money he hardly knew what to do with ir. “He did not try to jump into society or to push his way with the “big fel lows’ there. He continued to live with the people whom he bad associated with all his life, and many an act ot kindness was done, many a wandering son and father saved, many a sorrow. ing woman's burden lightened and her home brightened by an unknown Co por. whose identity with the old mar was only known to a few, “It wax different with the partner. He had a wife and two daughters with social aspirations, and after a whole lot of pushing and hauling and shov- ing they landed in society. The ex. pense was too much of a drain on the husband's purse, and he speculated. with the inevitable outcome. He lost his entire fortune and then shot bim- self. Then it was that the true gen- tleness of the old man showed itself. The widow and her daughters had no one to turn to but him, and he did not disappoint them, He saved their home for them when everything else went under the hammer, and he maintained them in all the regal style to which they were accustomed. although he still lived in his old lodgings. He lived long enough to see both of the girls well married and the mother carefully settled in life. Then he died in a charity hctpital in San Francisco. He had spent every penny he owned on the family of his partner.” Go!d In Ancient Rome. William Jacob in his “History of the Precious Metals” estimates from the accounts given by the Roman writers that in the reign of Augustus, the first of the emperors, when Rome was at the height ef its power, the amount of gold In the Roman empire was nearly $2.000,000.000. This vast treasure had been gathered chiefly by conquest from various nations of Europe, Asia and Africa. There nad been extensive mines in Spain and in the Atlas moun- tains of north Afriea, but their yield in the wealth of kings and of cities in Asia and Egypt had been despoiled and carried away to enrich the con- querors. Our First Money. The first United States money was mace iu 1786, but instead of bearing the faces of leading statesmen it bore only the face of Liberty. Some few colus were stamped with the face of Washington and are highly valued by collectors. The first colus struck by the United States mint were some half dbmes in 1792. The tirst United States dimes were struck in France from oid silver family plate furnished by Wash- ington and were known as “Martha Washington dimes” from the fact that the Liberty head was adapted to that of the president's wife.~New York American.
