Got In the Wrong Room.
In "Charles Dickens and Music" It Is
related that Jenny Und «a» leaving a
German town one morning, having
created a furor the previous even
ing, when a band of students stopped
her carriage and rushed it back to
the inn. demanding to be shown to her
bedroom. There they tore up the
sheets and wore them ns decorations.
Somewhat later an Englishman at
breakfast remarked to his neighbors:
"You are English gentlemen. I ob- |
serve. Most extraordinary people, !
these Germans—students, ns a body, j
raving mad. gentlemen"'
"Oh. no," said somebody else, "ex
citable, but very good fellows, and |
very sensible."
"By heaven, sir." returned the old i
gentleman, still more disturbed, "then
there's something political In It, and i
I'm a marked man! I went out for a
little walk this morning after shaving, |
and while 1 was gone"—he fell In a ,
terrible perspiration as he told It— :
"they burst Into my bedroom, tore up I
the sheets and arc now patrolling the
town in all directions with bits of 'em
In their buttonholes."
A Natural Mistake.
Uncle Jake was employed around
the house In various capacities. Includ
ing that of valet to the master of the
place. Came ouce from the city some
friends of the master, with riding togs
of all sorts. One gentleman In partic
ular had a pair of riding boots, and
upon retiring he placed these outside
his door to be blacked. Careful of
their shape, he put long wooden "trees"
In them. Uncle Jake dutifully collect
ed these boots and cared for them. The
next morning he was very solicitous
for the owner and sought to aid him
when he mounted his horse. The rid
er vaulted easily Into the saddle.
"Well, suh." exclaimed Jake admir
ingly. "you certainly gits about power
ful easy for a gemman with two wood
en lalgs—yas. suh."—New Y'ork Post.

A year or so ago an American stu
dent In Berlin was attending a lecture
In a room drowsily close through lack
of ventilation. To keep awake he be
gan whispering to a German at his
side the story of Mark Twain about the
fear of fresh air. The relatives of this
mau. as Is well known, decided after
his death to have his remains cremat
ed. and the climax of the story occurs
when the undertaker, opening the door
of the oven to see whether Incineration
was complete, was appalled to hear the
corpse apeak out and request him to
close the door and shut off the draft
The American sprang the Joke as ef
fectively as he could, but never a smile
was his reward. Ills German friend
remained for several moments In a per
plexed study: then he leaned over to
the American and said: "But bow
could that be? The man was dead!"
The Governor's Orders.
Thé governor of a certain state, a
man of wealth, but of penurious habits,
walked Into a hotel lu San Francisco
holding his bead high and with a
swagger In his gait. The chief clerk,
who prided himself ou his extensive
acquaintance and boasted that he nev
er forgot a face, hurried to greet the
listlnguished visitor.
"Ah, governor." he cried, "delighted
to welcome you to our little town."
Turning to the desk, he shouted. "A
room with bath for the governor."
The governor leaned over and whis
pered In the clerk's ear. The expres
sion on the clerk's face changed to
one of Intense disappointment

and called louder than before:
"No hath for the governor: the gov

Remarkable Cure of Dysentery
"I was attacked with dysen'ery
about July 15th, and used the doctor's
medicine and other remedies with no
relief, only getting worse all the time.
I was unable to do anything and my
weight dropped from 145 to 125
pounds. I suffered for about two
months when I was advised to use
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy. I used two bfttles
of it and it gave me permanent re

Caustic John Bright.
Many stories were told about John
Bright's caustic repartees In private
