t 111 CENTRE ST.,
Stomitz Was Defiant
A story is told of an altercation be
tween Wllhelm Stelultz and Gustavo
Epstein. The latter was one of the
most Influential and richest bunkers In
Vienna und was very fond of a game
of cbess. When Stelultz was a young
man he used to play frequently at the
Vienna Chess club nnd ou one occasion
engaged the famous banker. The game
became very complicated, and Stelultz
studied the board longer than usual.
Ills opponent grew Impatient nnd at
last drawled out sarcastically, "Well?"
Stelultz silently continued the game,
and after n time It went In his favor.
The banker then began to think deeply,
taking considerable time before mov
ing a piece. Stelultz could not resist
the temptation to utter a long drawn
out "Well?" "Sir, don't forget who
you nre nnd who I am!" ronred Epstein
angrily. Stelultz Immediately retorted.
"On the bourse you nre Epstein and I
urn Stelultz; over the board I am Ep
stein and you are Stelultz!"
Cutting Out a Meal. '
Physicians are commonly advising
patients whose troubles arise from
overeating and these ure legion to
cut out one meal, preferably break
fast. The London Lancet remarks that
the reason for this Is that "after a
night's sleep the bodily strength, nerv
ous nnd muscular. Is at Its highest, and
work can be carried on without food.
The machine Is running strongly nnd
no fuel Is required for the time being."
Men engaged In literary or Intellectual
work can often do their very best In
the early morning before breakfast
The Lancet deprecates the heavy
breakfast nnd advocates the -"coffee
nnd rolls," which are nil thnt Is eaten
for breakfast on the continent of Eu
rope, especially for men whose work
Is of the brain rather than of the mus
cles. These men. It says, should "rele-
gnto anything approaching n henrty
meal to tho period of relaxation, the
evening."
Whistler's Critieiim.
Pnnte Gabriel Rosscttl once showed
Whistler a sketch and asked bis opin
ion, i
"It has Its good points, Rosscttl,"
said Whistler. "Go ahead with It by
nil means." i
Later he Inquired how It was getting
along. "All right." answered Itossetti
cheerfully. "I've ordered a stunning
frame for It."
In due time the canvas appeared at
Rosseltl's house, beautifully framed.
"You've done nothing to It since I
saw It. bav yon?" said Whistler.
"Xo-o," replied Itossetti, "but I've
written n sonnet on the subject, if
you'd like to hear It"
He recited some lines of peculiar ten
derness. "Itossetti." snld Whistler, as the reci
tation ended, "take out tho picture and
frame the sonnet."
Austrian Ceneonhip.
The Austrian censor used to play
strange tricks with the plays produced
under his auspices. When Schiller's
"Maid of Orleans" was produced at
Vienna. In 1.802. tho title was deemed
too flippant nnd was replaced by that
of "Joan of Arc." Agnes Sorel figured
as the wife of Charles VII., and Queen
Ysabenu was transformed Into that
monarch's sister in order to save him
from bigamy. Until IS 12 mesalliances
were prohibited on tho Vienna stage.
When the burgthonter wished to stage
one of I'Veytag's plays in which Count
Waldemar marries n gardener's daugh
ter, tho censor put his foot down.
"These incidents" he said, "may un
fortunately occur In real life, but they
must not be seen on the stage."
