A. company of young American tour ists visited the home of Beethoven in Bonn and were unrestrained in their expressions of wonder, admiration and approval of the room where the mas ter had lived and worked. They ask ed many questions about Beethoven, and finally one young lady seated her self at his piano and proceeded, with true American confidence, to pjay the "Moonlight Sonata," Beethoven's own work, in his own room, on his own piano. Such an interesting combina tion! The old caretaker stood there, stern and silent. When the performance was over the young lady turned to the old man and said: "I suppose many musicians have been here and have played on this in strument?" "Paderewski was here once, ma dame" "Ah!" she sighed. "But," continued the faithful guard ian, "when some one urged him to play on Beethoven's piano he said, 'No I am not worthy.'" When the Disease Let Go. An old man was Just recovering from an operation, and as he lay regaining consciousness he heard the doctor say to a nurse regarding some powders to be given him, "If one every hour la too much give him a half one every half hour." The old gentleman raise! himself up on his elbow and said: "Say, doc, that reminds me of a man that had a Newfoundland dog. His wife got so tired of having him (the dog, not the man) track up the floors and porches that finally she made her husband take the dog to town and sell him. That afternoon he returned radiant. 'Well,' he said, 'I've sold him for $25!' 'Good!' cried his wife. 'I can get that hat now.' 'But,' continued the man, 'I bought two puppies with the money.'" The doctor looked at the nurse and aid: "I think he'll recover." F. S.He did.Judge. Saored Monkeys of India. In "Living Animals of the World" some curious stories are told about the habits and characteristics of the mon key tribes. It seems that the entellus monkey is the most sacred of all in India. It is gray above and nutty brown below, long legged and active, a thief and an impudent robber. In one of the Indian cities they became such a nuisance that the faithful determin ed to catch and send away some hun dreds. This was done, and the holy monkeys were deported in covered carts and released many miles off. But the monkeys were too clever. Having thoroughly enjoyed their ride, they re fused to part with the carts and, hop ping and grimacing, came leaping all the way back beside them to the city, grateful for their outing. One city ob tained leave to kill the monkeys, but the next city then sued them for "kill ing their deceased ancestors." Ways of the Flying Fish. Flying flsh swim In shoals varying in number from a dozen to a hundred or more. They often leave the water at once, darting through the air in the same direction for 200 yards or more, and then descend to the water quickly, rising again and then renewing their flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be seen in rapid pursuit, taking great leaps out of the water and gaining up on his prey, which take shorter and shorter flights, vainly trying to escape, until they sink exhausted. Sometimes the larger sea birds catch flying fish in the air. The question whether the flying flsh use their fins at all as wings is not fully decided. The power of flight is limited to the time the fins remain moist. Hew Birds' Nests Are Made Round. The little abandoned nest had fallen from the tree. The nature student lift ed it from the ground. "How round it is," he said. "No cup rim could be rounder. Don't you won der how the bird, with neither rule nor compass, can make her nest so round? Well, she does it easily. She builds the nest about her breast, turning round and round in it, and its circular char acter comes spontaneously and inevita bly. The circle is found everywhere in the buildings of the lower animals. The straight line, on the ether hand, they can never aehieve." Vulgar Fraotlons. Brerything that Bobby leaned at school he endeavored to apply in his daily life and walk. When his mother asked him If eae of his new friends was an only child Bobby locked wise and triumphant. "He's get just one sister," said Bob by. "He tried to eatch me when he teld me he had two half sisters, but I guess I know enough fractions for that!"Tenth's Cempanien. $100 Reward, $100.

At the close of that memorable sea son when Tim Hurst managed the Browns for Von der Ahe ho laid over in Philadelphia on his way to bis home up the state, and while in the Quaker City he told his daily experiences while running the Mound City club. "My Mondays," said Timothy, "were devoted to telling the St. Louis sporting editors how I was goiug to win the pennant the next year. Tuesdays I Would be kept busy denying to tha club owners that I had ever made any such statements. Wednesdays I would be explaining to the newspapers why we weren't-winning games. Thursdays I would be fighting with Chris to keep him from fining the players all the money they had coming to them. Fri days I would generally be busy all day getting the terms of pitchers that no batter could hit." "And on Saturdays?" "On Saturdays I would spend the day signing players that couldn't hit any kind of pitching."Duluth Herald. Paint and Ocean Travel. The worst feature of ocean travel is never mentioned in steamship com pany prospectuses or in books of trav- el," said a returned tourist "It is not seasickness, for only a few are taken that way in the ocean greyhounds that neither rock nor pitch. It is not the narrow quarters or the inferior cook ing or the tipping habit. It is paint. There is always wet paint on an ocean steamer, and there is never a sign on It to warn passengers. The modern sailor is a painter, constantly wielding the brush, always painting some part of the ship or other. There is hardly a passenger on an ocean liner that does not land from a voyage with some ar ticle of apparel damaged by paint. A sailor told me once that every ship is entirely repainted inside and out at least three times a year. The work goes on constantly in port and on the sea, and the passenger never can es cape."Philadelphia Record. Lightning Flashes. Lightning flashes in a storm are found by an English observer to be much less irregular in period than they appear. Such storms have usually two foci, sometimes three, from which the flashes radiate, and the discharges from each come at regular intervals. The apparent Irregularity Is due to the varying rates of the different centers. In one storm noticed the two focf were about a mile and a half apart, and in an hour the northern center emitted thirty flashes at intervals of fifteen, thirty, forty-five, sixty and ninety sec onds, and the southern center gave sixteen flashes at intervals of seven teen, thirty-four and fifty-one seconds. Another unexplained observation is that Just before each great flash there is a momentary faint lighting up of the sky In the stormy region. It Made a Difference. An excited man rushed into a law yer's office and without any prelimi nary burst out "Has a husband a right to open his wife's letters?" "Certainly, sir, certainly," was the reply. "Open all you please.*' "Well, here la a letter my wife has written to your wife and asked me to deliver. I think there's something unpleasant in it about me. I Wish you'd open it and if there is just burn it." "Humph! Does my wife know your wife is going to write to her?" "Yes." "And if my wife doesn't get this letter she'll soon find it out, won't she?" "Of course." "On second thoughts," said the lawyer thought fully, "I believe there is a legal finding to the effect that it Is a criminal of fense to open a wife's letters. I couldn't take the risk, sir Indeed, I couldn't." Echo Verses. Echo verses were sometimes used effectively for epigrams and squibs. Thus a critic once wrote: I'd fain praise your poem. But, tell me, how Is It When I cry out "exquisite" echo cries "quiz it?" And when in 1831 Paganini was drawing crowds to the opera house at extravagant prices- the Times printed the following lines: What are they who pay three guineas To hear a tune of Paganini's? EchoPack o' ninnies! London Graphic. Youthful Misinformation. Among the answers to questions at a recent school examination were the following interesting examples of youthful misinformation: "Gross igno rance is 144 times as bad as just ordi nary ignorance." "Anchorite, an old fashioned hermit sort of a fellow who has anchored hisself to one place." "The liver is an infernal organ." "Va- cuum is nothing with the air sucked out of it put up in a pickle bottle. It is very hard to get." Only Two In Office. A man in a certain township was elected constable. The members of the family were much elated-and could scarcely contain themselves with their newly acquired civic honors. At last one of the smaller children said to the wife, "Ma, are we all constables?" The mother replied: "Gwan, child! Nobody's constable but me and your pa!"Atchison Globe. The Real Cause.

A newly married couple came In a hotel where we were resting and a3ked how much it would cost to get two bowls of boiled rice and milk and were informed, that the price was 15 cents per portion. The groom pulled a small package.. wrapped In a bit of newspaper from his pocket and, open ing it, displayed about a double hand ful of rice, which he said they had gathered from "their clothing after the shower which followed the early morn ing wedding. He Inquired how inuct would be deducted if they furnished their own rice and upon being inform ed that no allowance could be made be came indignant and remarked that they would wait until they reached home for their dinner rather than sub mit to such unfair dealing and left the place. The proprietor said that the young man owned one of the best farms In the town and had established quite a famous reputation locally for economy, although that is not exactly the way he expressed it.Forest and Stream. Lowell Got His Whacks. In his volume on the practice of di plomacy John W. Foster relates an Il luminating anecdote concerning James Russell Lowell when he was our min ister at Madrid. At a royal reception Minister Lowell, in plain evening dress, was preceded up the palace stairway by a minister from Central America, gorgeously appareled, wearing a Jew eled sword, who was saluted at each landing by the magnificent halberdier with a heavy whack of the battle ax on the marble pavement. ,As Mr. Lowell wore no Insignia of office, he received no attention. At last, his patriotic blood boiling, he addressed the halber dier In excellent Spanish, "Do you know who I am?" "I don't" "Well," said Mr. Lowell, "I am the minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, the greatest nation on earth, and if you don't whack the next time I pass you I wMl forget you at Christ- mas!" And the halberdier whacked thereafter as directed. Child Cynics. A London writer exclaims at think ing "there is really nothing to ac count for the extraordinary critical mood which the modern child has de veloped in regard to toyland." The modern child will simply not make be lieve. Little boys and girls alike be come sticklers for the "correct thing," and if the build of a steamship or a motor car, the cut of a doll's frock r the mysteries the eye does not "usually see are not "just like!' the real thing there is trouble. It is said that toy makers have even now to employ sci entific experts and French milliners if they hope to pass the critical eyes of the "new child." The fact is the mod ern child is born a cynic and a sated little darling. It has no emotions, no desires save to destroy and be lived and breathed for by necessary parents.
