THE Philadelphia politician, of whom
Shakespeare says in Hamlet:
A politician one that would circumvent God,
Is not always as bad as ho Is painted. Onco
upon a time tho local Republican machlno
elected a Mayor who was subservient and
obedient. In fact, he did so well that a morn
ing newspaper began a crusade against his
political Iniquity. The fight waxed so -warm
that one day the Mayor threatened to have
a warrant for criminal libel served upon thi
editor and city editor of the paper in ques
tion. But the city editor declined to be fright
ened by what he knew to be a "bluff," a'nu
he continued his battle, eventually winning .
victory at the polls.
Time passed. The boss, under -whose thumb
the Mayor had been, became very 111. Ho sent
for the city editor.
"Old man," said the boss, "you and I have
fought each other day In and day out; but
you've been on tho square. That ex
Mayor threatens to do you dirt the moment
I'm gone. I am going away for my health

Israel W. Durham went away and came

IF YOU should happen to find a stray mon
key, do NOT send him to tho Fifth District
pollco station. It would not be altogether
safe for tho simian. And thereby hangs a

Sunday afternoon a gorgeous auto drove up
to tho police station. A woman, resplendently
gowned, was assisted to the door by a
liveried footman. She went up to the lieu
tenant's desk.
"My pet monkey has been lost," she
drawled. "Here Is a description."
And when she had gone the policeman, who
happened to have been born In Dublin, read
tho description, which wound up with:
"JImmie looks like an Irishman."
Which Is why tho Fifth precinct police are
not enthusiastic In their search.

Imposing poi p and ceremony. It Is different
when Franz Josef of Austria Is called to his
fathers, the Ilapsburgs. Tho letter's body
will bo taken in a simple coffin, by the most
direct road, to the monastery of the Capu
chins near Vienna. The master of ceremonies
will knock at the gate, for there will ba no

within will ask the Identity of tho visitor.
"His Majesty, Emperor of Austria, King of
Hungary. Duke of Styrla, etc.," will come
the reply.
"I know no such man," will say the monk;
behind the gate.
Twice this will be repeated, then, for the
third time, the Capuchin will ask: "Who Is

body will be admitted for the Emperor can
only be received as a. humble human being.
