Little Incident That May or May Not
Be Accurately Reported.
"When the farm hands at work in
the imperial cornfield observed at a
far distance his majesty the king approaching on his gayly caparisoned
steed, and surrounded by his glittering
retinue, they began to get busy all
along the row, as the custom is. "When
the king Tiad come near he stopped
and looked at the horny-handed sons
of toil.
"Ho, varlets!" he called in-a "commanding tone.
They hoed faster than ever.
"Ho, varlets!" he commanded a second time.
They hoed on with redoubled vigor.
The king became exceedingly wroth
at this regard of Ids spoken word.
"Ho, varlets!" lie commanded, riding
close to them.   "Ho, I say; stop*."
This action resulted in marked disorganization among the toilers, and
an*American, who had been stranded
abroad when, the panic struck the
money places and had got a job to
earn-the price of-a ticket back, stood
up, resting easily on his hoe handle, . : . ■.        ■' -; .
"Aw, come off the imperial perch,
old chap," he responded after the free
and untrammeled fashion of his countrymen 4n the presdnce of royalty,
"and tell us what you want. How in
thunder can we hoe and stop at the
same time? "When you said 'Ho,' we
hoed, didn't we? Now you've got to
say what you want if you want it, or
we'll go before the union.   See?"
Thereupon Ms majesty the king, being vastly pleased by this display of
Yankee wit, sent all the other varlets
away on a half-holiday and took the
Yankee home with him as a study in
the labor problem.—Lippincott's.
Dogs Guard  Hunter's Gun.
Three hunting dogs belonging to
Harry Smith of Berlin, Pa., spent the
other night on a mountain road guarding Smith's gun where it had fallen.
Smith and his three foxhounds .after a
day's, hunt returned late in the afternoon to a wagon which, had been left
near the road. The dogs.stirred up
.some animals and Smith drove on
after placing his gun. in the wagon:
The dogs did not come home that
night and Smith found he had lost his
gun. Going back over the road he.discovered his three dogs lying beside
the* gun, where it had been jolted from
the wagon. The dogs coming upon the
gun, decided to guard it until their
master should appear.—Cumherland

Cheap Fireless Cooker.
Miss Winifred Gibbs of the Association for Improving the Condition of the
Poor of New York report that she has
had unusual success in introducing
the fireless cooker among the women
of the east side. Miss Gibbs makes a
fireless cooker at a cost of only a few
cents. Her materials consist of a butter tub, a bag of. sawdust, a tin pail
with a closely fitting top and two
yards of denim. She is said to have
more than a dozen going full blast
among the tenement families that she
teaches.
Princess Nila's Fan.
M. Jules Cl'aretie tells a pretty story
about the first use of the fan in
France as an implement of coquetry.
In prehistoric days, he says, when
France, was peopled by fire worshipers, the king of what is now Paris
was the father of a princess of great
beauty^ Princess Nila, It was her duty
to watch over the sacred fire and coax
it into flame with her fan when it was
dying down. One day she had forgotten her ian and blew upon the cinders
of the fire; It leaped up toward
her, and ever afterward refused to
brighten except when the Princess
blew upon.it On the day when she
discovered this 'the princess used her
fan to. hide her blush.es, for she understood the secret of the holy fire,
which had become enamored of her
charms.'
Ground Telephone.
The introduction, of magazine' rifles
into the army is said to have ended
the custom ot using the rifle as a. telephone by placing the muzzle to the
ground and listening at .the breech for
movement of distant cavalry. A new
apparatus on the same principle is the
acoustele of M. Martel, a French in-,
ventor. This is a trumpet-shaped'tube
a yard or more high, inclosing a central cone,, and it is claimed to be so
sensitive that the tick of a watch can
be heard several hundred yards away.
In listening foi* sounds through the
earth, It is best placed in a special
hole.
Unclaimed. Bank Deposits.
Massachusetts' treasury is likely to
come in for a tidy sum of money under
a-recent decision of the supreme court
of that state which holds that deposits in savings banks unclaimed for 30
years go to the commonwealth. The
decision was rendered in a case
brought to test the title of $100,000 of
deposits in the Provident Institution
for Savings left there for more than
thirty years. The court says that the
length of time that .these deposits
have been in the bank without any action by the depositors in regard to
them furnishes a strong presumption
that willingly or Unwillingly or ignor-
antly the depositors liave permanently
abandoned them.

Welfare.of .the Laborer.
Fifteen years of active interest in
looking "after the welfare of the laboring classes have equipped Miss Gertrude Beeks, the secretary of the welfare'department of the National Civic
federation, to make_ unique and .extensive investigations into the conditions under whicli all sorts of labor
is accomplished. She has.traveled extensively and has visited hundreds of
factories and plants. One of the most
important tours' of investigation connected with her work was a trip to
Panama, under the direction of Willi? m Taft. It was here that Miss
Bee'.is became acquainted with a
young woman whom she was instrumental in later starting in a new field
of work in the south:
Chinese  Good to Animals.
The Chinese of Oakland, Cal., have
formed a society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals. The Chinese
are really a humane people, it is said.
A man who lor a long time has been
president of an American humane society relates that years ago he asked
Anson Burlingame, then American
minister to China, whether a society
for the. prevention of cruelty to animals ought not to be formed in that
country. ,
"It isn't. needed," said Mr. Burlingame. "The Chinese are naturally
good to animals. Such a thing as
cruelty to animals is rarely heard of
there." -**   ,
Natural Curiosity.
• "'''Why do you think you would like
to vote?" •
"I,don't_know that I should like it,"
.answered "the determined woman, "I
merely desire the opportunity of finding out for-myself."
Others Had Tried It.
The police court magistrate of a
town in southern Kentucky was walking down the street one November-
evening with his friend, John Mark-
ham, a distiller. ,
"Judge," said Mr. Markham, "have
you ever tried my Number One brand
of Old Markham?"
"No, John," admitted the judge, "but
I tried three men in court this morning who "had tried it,"—Everybody's
Magazine. '" '1 s
