Wlu-n Ludwijr rtoothoveu first visited tho Aus trian court he was 16 years of ago. Well provided with letters of introduc tion to Emperor Joseph, he proceeded alone to the palnce, determined to play h is way into the Affections of the monarch. Admitted to the palace, he was met in an antechamber by a very civil gentle man, who told him that the emperor could not well receive him then, but would be glad to have him present him self that evening for an audience in the Augarten. Attracted by the quiet and friendly demeanor of this person, young Beethoven engaged in conversation with tim, and presently discovered Unit ho was the emperor's barber, a discovery rising from (he stanger's casual admis sion that he "shaved the emperor every morning. " "Tell me," demnnded the youth, "ia be indulgont or severe?" "That depends, " answerod the bnrber, "when it comes to musio imttera he is strict enough. " "Yes, I know what that means," said Beethoven sneeringly, "he plnys the piano a little, and strums away on tho violoncello, and composes sonatas, but between you nnd me these big people don't carry their music studies very far after all. " This honest expression of opinion memed to amuse the barber mightily; be iinply roared with laughter. That evening at the appointed hour Beethoven came to the Atignrlen and was shown into the music room, where the emperor and a friend were seated in conversation. Iutonse was the young musician's horror to loam that the sup posed barber and the emperor werj onet But the emperor took the joke with such aumziug good humor that Beethoven, for hie part, was willing to forgive and forget He seated himself at the piano and at the emperor's re quest Improvised at a theme from Mozart's "Zarastro. " This he did so re markably that his auditors were do lighted. The Emperor's companion could not restrain his joy; running across the room, he threw his arms about the youth, crying: "Such tastel Such skill! Tlio youth who can so in terpret the thought of anothor coin poser will one day be a great master in the art himself 1" "Ah, but the air itself is so beautiful." said Beethoven, and then he added: "Mozart's musio is divine! " "My lad," cried the emperor, beam ing with delight, "do you know whom you are talking to? It is Mozart him self to whom you have been playing, and "hose lips have just predicted the great future that lies before you. " Nut the Ulght Way. Sunday forenoon a man with a satchel in his hand hurried along a cross street to Wood ward. Ten feet behind him hurried a woman, also carrying a satchel. As he waited for a Woodward avenuecar she enme up aud also waited, Neither looked at nor spoke to tho other. They took t'ie same car and roda to the 3d Blreet depot. The man went to tho ticket window and asked: "What's the fare to Syracuse?" Tho woman followed close behind and said: "I'm going to Syracuse?" The man turueJ away without a ticket and walked out ami got into a hack. It had not yet started when the woman got inlo another nnd told the driver to follow the first Both went up town and probably home, ns it was easy to see thnt it was a cam of "tiff" bttweeii man and wifi. A booibluclc who caught ou at the depot said: "What an ass that man is? Why didn't ..o purtend to take pizen an' scare her to death?" Detroit Free Press. llrexklng the Kvonril.

He is always being "reminded. " They were talking of man's dependent upon things which he is accustomed to use. "That reminds me of Jack Smilor, Jack was as brave as a lion. He drove one of the fast freight specials from Cheyenne to Deadwood. It was in the first days of the Black Hills excitement, when they rau light express wagons out to Cheyenne on a gallop and never stopped until they pulled up in Dead wood or until the road agents stopped them. "Jack was born with one emotion lacking. He was not afraid of tho wildest Indian (and there were enough of them in those days, just before the Custer massacre) or the most during and reck less road agent They did not call them highwaymen then. lie used to climb into his seat, crack his long whip, and, w ith a wonderful oath, jerk the heads of those mules in the direction of Dead wood, and send them scurrying along like frightenod rabbits. He always wore a revolver, of course, the handle forward in his belt, where his hand might touch it at a moment's notice. I do not believe that tho road agent lived who could havo stoppod Jack Smiler. "I rode up with him on one of his trips to a ranch about 85 miles from Chey enne. I got tired of tho seat and climbed back into the Ikix to stand there & rest my legs. I conceived tho idea of pick ing Jack's pocket that is, of getting his revolver away from him. I was pretty careful to press one hand heavily on his shoulder while with the other I slipped the weapon from his belt Finally I got it out safely and waited for him to discover the loss. "We drove along for five or six miles, when suddenly Jack pulled up his mules w ith a terrible oatk "' U'liou I' ho cried. - "'What's the trouble, Jack? I asked. "He turned to mo nnd looked into my eyes. He was as white ns a sheet "'We are going straight back to Choy cnae,' he said. "'What's the trouble?' 1 repented. ' "'Trouble!' ho ejaculated, anil a cloud of sulphur arose over us, his oratory was bo emphatic. "'Trouble? I've lnt my six shooter, and I wouldn't drive another foot for 610,000.' "Oh, pshaw, Jack,' I said; "who knows you hnveu't a six shooter? Why don't you go right ou, as if you had one?' "Jack's teeth Cl attered at the very thought I never saw a brave man so terribly frightened "'Nut if my tiama is Jack S nilor,' he said. " ' Gracious!' he added (gracious stands for a siring of words too long for a nov ice to mention in one evoninn), 'sup pose I hadn't discovered this. Wouldn't I have been in a pretty fix?" Ho made a wry face. "'Here's your old six shooter, Jack,' I said, hnmiing it to him; "I wouldn't have it. It isn't worth keeping.' " 'Go 'lang, there 1' shouted jack, curl ing his whip lash beautifully and bring iug tho end of it to a sudden stop, with a loud crack. 'Go Mang, there!' aud we were rolling over the road again. "I can't go anywhere without that,' he said, touching the butt of it lightly. The last I saw of him he was snapping his long lash and whistling cheerfully. With the revolver he went anywhere; without it nowhere. "New York Trib An Enlhuslastlc Nurse. A Brooklyn mother had lately to call in the services of a trained nurse for her sick child. When the iiuis a bright young woman, arrived, tho mother had a talk with her before she weut to the sick room. "I suppose you know," she said, "that this is a fever case." "Oh, yes, indeed," she replied brightly, "aud I was so glad to come. I just doto on fevers. " To the anxious parent this seemed almost flippant, but tho nurse continued: "They nto so in teresting, you know, and ono's care tells" a remark whio'i somewhat con donod the first "Now, I am just in from such a stupid case, a man with liver complaint no established prece dents, nothing to watch progress by, but just before I took him I had the most beautiful run of fever, 10 weeks, n young lady, two nurses of us, nnd we brought her through without a false stop." This was again reassuring to tho solicitous mother, and when a little later tho nurse's services began this very exhileraiion nnd energy, tempered as thev word iu the sick room by soft ways and trained skill, became a mountain of relief. A Naughty I.ltlle Smuggler. A clever ruse was once successfully perpetratod by a quick witted woman upon an olllcer who, it is no moro than fair to add, was a novice at the busbies.
