mill other essentials he had no money
left for cah Idle, so he was forced to
tvallt lo tin? scene of his engagement.
The music loving audience Inspired

and mastery cf his Instrument as nev
er before. Ills success was Instant
and uuml.;takublo. The poor player
had suddenly become the lion of the
hour, his dreuiii had become a reality,
and fame itntl forluits were assured
him.
At last after disengaging himself
from Ids admirers he turned to leave,
when his hostess, remembering Willi
regret the sinsllness of the fee for so
marvelous n performance, offered him
her carriage lor Ills return home, l'ttl
l'liderewski's pride came to the rescue.
In his eonrleiuis yet reserved way he
made a formal bow, and, saying, "No.

SCAaUD THE CLD SAVAGE.
Ruse Tht.t Saved Dr. Felkin From
King Mtesa cf Uganda.
AVhen the well known African trav
eler Dr. liolicrt l'elkln was slaying
Willi the bloodthirsty King Mtosa of
Uganda many years ago the king, nut
of gratitude for his visitor's medical
treatment, wi-'ho;l to cut off Ills head.
On Iir. l'elkln representing Unit the
treatment was not finished und that If
interrupted II would cause Mlesa's
death tile latter granted him a re
prieve until he was ipiiie recovered.
Then, however, nothing availed, and
tlie execution was determined upon.
I'niiii I'asha. who was a friend of
Dr. Felkin. had Instructed him most
accurately about the stale of affairs in
Uganda and Ihe court of King Jllesa
ami had revealed to him an Important
stale secret namely, where Mlesa's
powder store was hidden. Dr. I-'elkln
remembered this at the right moment
and ns it last resort threatened, that if
Mtesn killed lit in lie would bring down
a flash of lightning upon his powder
store. Mlesa replied Incredulously,
"Tell me where it is," whereupon Dr.
Felkin whispered In his car, "It is
concealed under your harem."
Mtesa turned pale and allowed Fel
kin and his companions to live. The
"lightning maker's" authority iucreus

happened to strike near the harem.
Fooled the Town.
University students have long enjoy
ed a reputation as practical jokers, but
there has been nothing quite so suc
cessful as the famous sultan of Zan
zibar boaz of some years ago at Cam
bridge. One day the mayor of the
town received the following wire from
one Henry Lucas, Hotel Cecil, London:
"The sultan of Zanzibar will arrive nt
Cambridge at 4:27 for a short visit.
Could you arrange to bIiow him build
ings of Interest and send carrlnge?"
The mayor rose to the occasion, and
In due course four dark complcxloned
gentlemen with turbans and volumi
nous trousers arrived at Cambridge.
The mayor and corporation entertain
ed them right royally, but to their
chagrin they discovered a few hours
later that the Interesting orientals
wore simply a quartet of undergrad

practical Joke upon the town. London

' At the time Colonel Hoosevelt was
carrying on his simplified spelling
movement In Washington there was u
meeting of educators at Battle Creek.

itariums there. They were bhowu
through, and particular stress was laid
by the guide on the success that at
tended operations there on enlarged
and diseased colons, it being claimed
that here was the seat of most dis
ease. There was a banquet that night,
and one of the visitors opened his
speech like this:
"Washington, as we all know, is the
seat of spelling reform; but, 1 take It,
Battle Creek Is bound to be the seat
of uunctuatiou reform, for, as we were
told today, you come bore with a colon
and you depart with a semicolon."

Temples of 8iam.
Once a year all the Buddhist temples
In Blum are visited by the king1 or lis
deputies, Learhig the phru knlhlii (yel

dent custom by which the priest.' were
inn. lo to seek their apparel fur tho en
suing year. During the lifetime of
Buddha monks aud priests were sent
out to beg for old castoQ garments,
which were afterward dyed yellow and
patched together to form the required
robes. This ancient mendicant cus
tom gradually gave place to the pres
ent one of making the garments from
a new cloth of a bright canary yellow,
provided by Joint contributions of
king, princes, nobles and commoners.
When the king goes in the royal throne
barge to present the robes In person
he does so with great pomp and cere
mony. The priestly garments, folded
In bundles, are carried to the door of
the temple to await the appearance of
his majesty and his suit. The king
on arriving takes a priestly robe and
places it on a decorated allar. The
chief priest then lays his hands on the
garment nnd chants an acknowledg

Won by His Wit. .
A story Is told of an English clergy
man wlt'o owed bis appointment to a
rich living to a lucky pun. lie was
tutor to the sou of a nolilemnu nnd
had not long taken orders when he
attended the funeral of the rectim t.f
the parish In which the nobleman's
scat was situated. The father of his
pupil was patron of the living and
was also present ut Ihe funeral of
tho deceaneil rector. There was a
young clergyman present also whose
grief was so demonstrative that the
uoblo patron was much affected by the
sight and asked if the young man was
a son of the deceased gentleman.
"Oh, dear, no, my lord no relation
at nil," "said the tutor.
"No relation!" exclaimed the noble
man in a surprised tone.
"None, my lord. lie Is the curate,
and I think he Is not weeping for the
dead, but for tho living."
Ills lordship, who was something ol
a wit and a cynic himself, was so de
lighted with the bonmot that ho con
ferred the living upon the ready pun
ster. Through a Big Telescope.
The first look through n great tele
scope is disappointing, but tho novice
Boons sees that the flat appearance
which tho heavens preseut to the
naked eye is replaced by a curious cou
cavlty; the moon and slnrs seem to be
hung In space rather than spread out
on u flat surface. For a moment one
feels at the telescope like n child
watching tho swift moving bnlls kept
In tho air by a Juggler and expecting
to sco one of those great, bright bodies
fall. Then comes the thought, What
keeps them there, apparently suspend
ed In space with absolutely nothing to
hold them firm? Tho explanation of
the learned astronomer causes the
brain of tho lnyman to whirl, and he
sees himself, perhaps for the first
time, as a child gathering pebbles on
the great shores of the sea of knowl
edge or as "an Infant lu the night, an
Infant crying for the light, and with no
language but a cry." National Maga

Of the late Atherton Blight, one of
the founders of fashionable Newport,
a rhlladelphlan said:
. "Mr. Blight was amused by the an
tics 6f the militant suffragettes. At a
luncheon at the Bellevue be once sat
next to a lndy with suffragette no
tions, riovers' eggs, hard boiled,
formed one course, and the lady called
Mr. Blight's attention to the high cost
of plovers' eggs that year.
. "'Even though,' Bhe said, 'they have
to bo Bhlpped from England, I don't
see why their price should have nearly
doubled, do you?'
" 'Well er not exactly,' murmured
Mr. Blight, 'though tbey do say the
hen plovers have taken to acting very
oddly of into strutting around, and
growing topknots and spurs, nnd even
trying to learn to crow.' "Exchange.

Tennyson's court dress when he re

some ono who needed his services, rose
from bed, put on bis dressing gown

buds and leaves were protrudipg.
"Is Miss Caroline Ward In?" ho asked.
"She has retired," returned the doc
tor. Miss Caroline Ward was his cook.
"I'm sorry, sir, to call so late. Some
thing went wrong with the tramcar I
was iu, I'll leave this for her, sir, if
you will kindly glvo it to her in the

"Certainly," 6aid the doctor. IIu
took tho flowers into the kitchen,
placed a dishpan la tho sluk, drew a
few Inches of water in It, carefully
pressed the base of the package into
tho water and went back to bed,
thinking bow pleased the cook would

on 'em! I'd let 'em see If they could

Might Change -His Mind.
Sir Frank Lockwood wus defending;
a man accused of swindling and in an
eloquent peroration talked of his much
Injured client as an angel of light.
When Sir Frank had finished his
speech, his client whispered that he
wanted to shake hands with him.
"When first my solicitor told me what
he was paying you," said tho client,
"I grumbled, but since I have been lis
tening to you I have come to the con
victim that tho money was well spent,
and I apologize. That half hour talk
of yours about me has done me good.
It is many years since I have experi
enced tho luxury of self respect, and it
Is worth tho money."
"Oh, that's all right," said Sir Frank
genially, "but you take my advice and
t out of court. Sir Edward Clarke,
the lawyer on the other side, is Just
going to speak."
Poorly Paid Toymakers.
The toymakers of Sonneberg are
among tho worst paid work people In
Germany. It often happens that the
earnings of a Sonneberg workman
and his family, working sixteen hours
a day, do not exceed $2.40 a week.
About three years ago there was an
exhibition of home industries in Ber
lin where articles from Sonneberg
were displayed, the making of which
was paid for at the rate of 4 cents
an hour. Numerous Instances are on
record of children after school hours
working six hours at a stretch color
ing and polishing the heads of dolls
for a pittance of Vj cents an hour.
