,4 GREAT SURPRISE.
The Singular Noblerr.an Who Wanted
an American Heiress.
The Ainericau fa'.' of the heiress
greeted the remit ' i v,sis :i NUltor for
her hand wiili digiu ...I frigidity.
"Sure," said the count, "your daugh
ter lias done UH; Y,e hoimaire of con
senting to lie my wife. 1 am called
to complete ze negotiations."
"All right," wearily said the father.
"How much of a cash settlement do
you expect?"
"Nossing, sare."
"What! How much will I have to
pay for your poker debts?"
"Nossing, sare. Ido not gamble."
"How much will I have to pay to
rebuild your castle?"
"Nossing, sare. It is in tine repair."
"But there must be some expense for
me. Out with it!"
"No, sare; nossing. I simply love
your daughter and she loves me, and
we wish to be married. Is not zat
enough? Is it not enough to ask yon
to give me your daughter wizzout
your expecting to"—
"Come to my arms!" exclaimed the
American father and tried to fall upon
the neck of the delighted count.
But he awoke on the floor, having
tumbled from his bed as a finish to hie
amazing dream.—Judge.
TO ENTER "SOCIETY."
You must Have Treasure, Tempera
ment and Tact.
To enter paradise you had to be
good and you bad to be dead. To
enter society you do not have to be
either. On the contrary, though what
you do have to lie is harder to tell
than it is to get there. But certain
requisites may be mentioned. These
are treasure, temperament and tact.
Treasure, which is the basis of all
scrumptiousness, speaks for itself.
Temperament is more complex. Tem
perament is the art of holding your
own on the subject of nothing at all
with experts who have devoted their
lives to tiie subject. •That is clearly
abnormal. Tact, while less unnatural,
is more abstruse. Tact is the ability
to put your vibrations into harmony
with those of others about you. As
pirants may be rich, righteous and
ready, yet if they lack that ability,
whatever their efforts, they are no
where. If they possess it, then, though
they be nobodies, they have only to
choose where they want togo and get
there—generally speaking, that Is, and
provided they are not in a hurry.
Taste is very mercantile, besides being
unbecoming.—Edgar Salt us in Broad
way Magazine.
A Memory Test.
A professor of mnemonics had gone
to lecture at or near Canterbury.
After the lecture was finished he had
to wait for his London train. It was
a most comfortless day, and he re
tired to an inn for shelter and refresh
ment. To pass the time he began to
exhibit liis feats of memory to the
yokels In the inn parlor, and one and
all were thunderstruck except the
waiter. There is always one skeptic
in every communion, whether of
saints or sinners. Do what he would
ho could not mitigate the acrid smile
of aeid Incredulity of that glorified
potman! In the midst of one of his
most difficult feats the whistle sound
ed of the "only train to London to
night!" and he rushed off to catch it
lie caught it at the station, and hi;
reputation caught it In the inn parlor
for the waiter—coming in with some
ordered refreshments and finding him
gone—pointed to the corner where he
had been sitting and exclaimed, "Sil
ly 'unibug, lie's forgot his umbrella!"
The Rich Turkish Beggar.
Beggars are never suppressed in Tur
key. The story is told (and they say it
is true) about an American lady who by
mistake gave a beggar of Constantino
ple a gold piece. The man had left his
post when she returned, but one of his
colleagues told her where lie "resided."
It was a fine house, and at the door
was a servant, who politely informed
the lady that "my master is dressing,
lie will be down soon." And then the
well groomed beggar, dressed for din
ner, appeared and gladly returned the
gold piece, exclaiming in the mean
while that such mistakes were highly
embarrassing.—"Charities and Com
mons."
Force of Storm Waves.
The average storm wave is thirty
feel in height. The highest storm
waves ever measured were between
forty-four and forty-eight feet high.
The gigantic force of storm waves is
shown by the fact that at Skerryvore
lighthouse, off the west coast of Scot
land, a mass of rock weighing five and
a half tons was once hurled to a height
of seventy-two feet above the sea lev
el, while a mass weighing thirteen and
a half tons was torn from a cliff seven
ty-four feet high. Pall Mall Gazette.
Explained at Last.
"The late I)r. Morgan Dix," said a
clergyman of New York, "had a dt-01l
way of lightening grave subjects with
little humorous asides. Once I heard
him addressing a graduating class at
a medical school. He began in this
way:
" 'Physiologists tell us, gentlemen,
that the older a man grows the smaller
his brain becomes. This explains why
the old man knows nothing and the
young one everything.' "

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1908.
The Late Ex-President Cleveland
on Republican Party.
Just before Ex-President Cleveland's
death lie planned the writing of three
articles on the presidential campaign
of 1908. The first article was publish I
ed in the Philadelphia Ledger last <.
Sunday. It is doubtful if he wrote the
other articles, none being found. In
this first paper the late President said:
"The Republican Party is certain to
move onto a safe victory, sustained
by the popular support of Reforms.
He says of Judge Taft, the Republican
nominee:
"There is fear on my part of being
misunderstood in what I am about to
say, but surely the fair-minded man
must realize when he considers my at
titude toward my own party, all now a
matter of immutable record, that it is
prompted by a sense of simple fairness.
Personally and officially I have had the
opportunity of knowing many things
concerning Mr. Taft that were not a
matter of general knowledge, and with
a keen interest I have watched his
large share in the conduct of our na
tional affairs in very recent years. His
excellence as a Federal Judge in Cin
cinati is something not to be under
estimated or overemphasized, for
should he come to the presidential
cbair the qualities which made him a
Judge of high ability, which I know
him to have been, will be the most
needful to him as President of the
United States. His high ideas of hon
esty and of relative justice, his great
capacity tor severe labor and his hum
orous wisdom in the face of the serious
problem are attributes equally valuable
and commendatory to a people seek
ing him in whom they may repose the
trust of their collective interests while
they turn their increased attention to
their pressing individual demands.
Whatever may be said as to the
events of the past ten years which are
alleged to have made us a world
power, there remains small opportun
ity for controversy over the essential
features of our conduct in the face of
the problems brought to face us by
those happenings. Now, being self
contained and compact in our politi
cal geography and federated in our
common interests whenever our do
minion was established, we have be
come extended and have increased
the span of the arch of our structure,
and must undertake to equate the
widely different concerns of individuals
and communities antithetical as to race,
traditions and modes of life and anti
podal as to location on the face of the
earth. Dwelling 011 the unwisdom of
prematurely acquiring colonies is fatu
ous. The national duty is neither to
help those colonies for their exploita
tion nor to cast them off to void the
burden of their responsibilities. The
questions involved are no more matters
to be harrowed through the mill of
politics than is the policy of the Pan
ama Canal something to be stamped
either Republican or Democratic.
HAS IMPORTANT QUALIFICATIONS.
These questions are fruitful of trouble
and perturbation, and the primary re
quisite of the man or men who must
deal with them is an abundant know
lege of the people of the out-lying do
main. That Mr. Taft is possessed of
this knowledge as is no other man in
the country is hardly to be denied;
granted that he has had extraordinary
opportunities, he has shown himself
able to improve those opportunities in
a manner which it is not extravagant
to say will be his broadest claim so far
to enduring fame when the acute visual
distortion of the present and opportune
shall have given place to the inexor
able perspective of history in which
the relative values of public deeds to
public duties are completely clarified
and announced to posterity. The
misery and misfortune which an ignor
j ant or obstinate administrator, no
i matter how high the ethical standard
I of his motives, could entail upon our
wards of the Pacific and Caribbean
are appalling to contemplate; were
his administration to be at fault in any
other particular, in those things Mr.
Taft'a record shows him to be entirely
dependable."

Old Time Drunkenness.
In reviewing "The Early Married
Life of Maria Josepha, Lady Stanley,"
the London Spectator comments on the
light in which drunkenness was re
garded at the beginning of the nine
teenth century. There was a christen
ing of twins and rejoicing among the
neighbors, tenants and laborers. "All
the guests," says Maria, "wero as
drunk as I ever had the pleasure of
Beeing any one." Among the laborers,
however, "that extent of intoxication
was not reached which causes men to
be swine."
Lady Sheffield, who received this ac
count of the festivities, replies: "I
would have given a great deal to be
present. There Is nothing I love so
much as such sort of festivities, where
one has the satisfaction of knowing
that one makes one's friends happy as
well as drunk." In London, she de
clares, "when you give a ball you af
front many people, please a few, make
many drunk and yourself miserable."
Clay and the Salary Grab.
"Qninn," said an old member one
day,"l heard you worrying about the
mileage. Did you ever hear the story
of Clay and the salary grab?"
"No," I replied.
"When Clay was speaker," he con
tinued, "along about 1810, the crowd
raised their salaries to $1,500 a year.
There was a great howl all over the
country, and when Clay reached home
in Kentucky he found old one armed
John Pope, a Federalist, ont after his
scalp to beat the band and all the Clay
adherents ominously silent. Worried
and anxious, Clay sought out his old
barber, who had always been enthusi
astic in his advocacy and who hap
pened to be an Irishman. 'I trust I
may count 011 your hearty support, as
usual?' Clay asked. 'Faith, Mr. Clay,'
said the Irish barber, 'I think I shall
vote at tills time for the man who can
get but one hand into the treasury.'"

Needed a Big Dose.
The president of the Waiters' club of
New York in a recent argument on tip
ping said to his opponent sharply:
"Your reply is altogether beside the
point and irrelevant. It reminds me of
a woman's reply in a German court.
This woman was accused of poisoning
her husband. The prosecuting attor
ney said to her:
" 'You have heard the evidence. The
body contained enough arsenic to kill
ten persons. What have you to say?'
