Going thith- er, he borrowed a grand piano from one of the Austrian secretaries of lega- tion and had it set up in a large 1 cep- tion room at the palace. There he awaited the comiug of the sultan, but when that intelligent monarch entered the room he started back in alarm and demanded of his attendants what that monster was standing there on three legs. Explanations followed, but were and the body of the instrument laid flat on the floor, and Leopold de Meyer, squatting cross legged on a mat, went through his program as best he could pedals. But the commander of the faithfu! was delighted, and when the last plece was played gave the artist over $5.000 as backsheesh, An Achievement. “1 don't see why you should be sc proud of winning that case,” said the intimate friend “Yon were plainly in the wrong." “You don't understand these things at all,” answered the lawyer. “That's the very thing that makes me so proud.” Exchange.

In a refined American home in al small city a few years ugo much en- joyment was derived from a Christ- mas celebrated in childish style by « family of adults. During the preced- ing year a son-in-law and a daughter- in-law had been added to the family group, and the other members were i father, a mother, nu deg: old maiden aunt, the two married <hildren, two | unmarried grownup sons and their | one sister. A real Christmas tree was purchased, and the women folk trim- med it with popcorn, tinsel, candles required for a genuine old fashioned Christinas tree. On Christmas morning the house- hold assembled. and, catching the in- fection of the occasion, all sat on the floor around the tree to receive thelr presents from a bona fide Santa Claus. Among the first packages distributed were some made to recill funny hap- penings of the year just passed, which had been selected in order to create merriment. Screams of laughter greet ed the opening of a package labeled with the bride's name, which was found to contaln a large leather medal inscribed with the following: “For paticia2e in making apple jelly.” As a novice in the culinary department she had struggled time and again with the task of making this delectable dish. To her husband went a small slide trombone, because in his boyhood days he had aspirations toward learning to play that instrument, practicing on a To the maiden nunt, an enthusiastic admirer of Shakespeare and a member of several clubs devoted to “readings,” a plaster of Paris bust of Willle was awarded. One of the boys had taken a pleasure trip south a few months before, accompanied by a valuable camera. He had left it on the steam- boat dock when he embarked and nev er recovered it. To him was given n photograph of a beautiful camera cut from an advertisement page of a pop ular magazine. To the father, a min ister of the gospel and high up in ec clesiastical circles, a toy watch--just a | gentle reminder of the length of his | sermons. The mother's early days had | been spent on a farm. Occasionally she had been known to grow homesick for a familiar sight of something re gembling farm life, and she had re cently purchased a few chickens, which she housed in the extreme end of the back yard. much to the disgust of the daughter of the house. To her was given a toy rooster with a real “crow.” The son-in-law received a dime bank. to indicate that his responsibilities uad | increased, nnd the other and younger brother rose colored glasses, to remind him of his visionary ideas. To the sin- gle sister who had been “out” several seasons a ring with a solitaire stone of real glass was given. After these had been distributed the handsome and real gifts of the day were exchangad, and it was a jolly. happy crowd which filed into the dining room to enjoy the feast which had heen in course ol prepara tion.
