ORATORICAL AND NERVY.'
An Old Cobbler Who Won a Laugh and
Favor From Napoleon. .
On Napoleon's arrival at Mars-la
Tours the mayor, a farmer, tried lb
rain to make the speech he had pre
pared. ' Bowleg and scraping, he stood
fascinated by Bonaparte's scrutinizing
black eyes an unhappy squirrel in the
gaze of the rattlesnake.
Close behind the trembling mayo
stood an old shoemaker, in figure i.
true Don Qjiixote, clad in hU working
dress. "Why don't you speak, you.
fool?" he muttered from time to tlma
to his leader. At last his patience
gave way. He pushed the mayor aside,
advanced, with his left band removed
his greasy cotton nightcap, with his
right lifted the horn spectacles from
his nose, made his bow and delivered
the oration: "Emperor, you are on your
way to thrash the Prussian rogues
once more. I hope soon to see you re
turn crowned with glory, and I have
nothing more to say, but that Caesar
and Alexander were botches In com
parlson with you."
The emperor langhed and inquired of
the o'ld man whether he had any sons,
"Yes; four are in the army two of
these in the guards." Their names
were taken down, and the honest shoe
maker soon saw them raised to the
rank of officers and found himself pro
vided with a comfortable pension.
A CORNER IN WHEAT.
it
Didn't Take tha Usual Course
of
Deals of That Nature.
John Wilier of Scarboro township
bad a good crop of spring wheat one
year almost the only good crop for
milos round. He thrashed it out during
the winter and cleaned It carefully,
but did not sell it. "Seed wheat will be
scarce in the spring." he said to his
wife. "I'll keep it t:ll then."
One day in April a man who lived
several miles farther out In the coun
try drove up to John Willer's barn and
said he wanted to buy a load of seed
wheat. The farmer did not answer him
at once.
"You needn't be afraid, Mr. Wilier,"
said the would be purcliasijr. "I've got
the money to ray for it right here."
"Xow, that's just what I wanted to
know," said John Wilier, and bin face
brightened perceptibly ; "I'm g'.ad you
told ine. Lots of my neighbors need
seed this spring and haven't the cntih
to pay for it. If they can't get seed
on credit they can't get ft at all, and
I wont to help them out. But if you've
got the money you can get seed wheat
anywhere. Ho just drive on into town.
You'll find plenty there." Youth's
Companion.
No Place For Postmen.
The new postman "was called before
the office superintendent for a repri
mand. "You were seen loitering In the neigh
borhood of that big fire down the
street," the superintendent said.
"I only stopped a minute," fhe man
pleaded, "and I was already eight min
utes ahead of schedule time."
"It is not a question of time, but
safety," the superintendent replied.
"The last place on earth a postman can
afford to loiter is in the vicinity of a
big fire. On the contrary, he ought to
make a detour to avoid It.
"By neglecting that simple precaution
more than one postman has bad his
leather bag drenched by a stream from
the hose and a lot of ruined letters
charged to his conscience If not to bis
pocketbook." New York Times.
English Words In German.
Like the word "sport" and many oth
er English words for which the Ger
man language has no nrierjuate terms,
the word "strike' has become one of
common usage In Germany. ".Start,
finish, mutiny, trick, snob, 'smart, part
ner, detective, rlcnlc. film, handicap
and hundreds of other wordi." says a
letter on the subject, "are used in their
original form, with not a letter
changed. Tanlc has been made Into
'panlk' and check Into 'scheck.' record
as Tekord' when lhe German u- the
word, and strike, in order to preserv''
the proper pronunciation, is written
'strelk.' These words look English
enough when you see them printed, but
when you hear them you Involuntarily
think of the 'English vpoken benr'
signs." New York Tribune.
Camp Candlesticks.
A camp candlestick can easily La
made with a piece or stick. Choose a
straight stick about eight inches Ion?
and one Inch thick. With a good knife
sharpen one end a you would a lead
pen'il or a stake. Then split the other
end Into four part;;, taking care not tr
allow any to snap, and strengthen the
point where they meet by binding with
string. The candles can then be placed
between the four branches and held it
position wit'u string. The pointe-1 end
i3 then stuck into the ground and the
candlestick la ready for use Rwjju
