HUMBLED THE PRINCESS
Fell of
a Dusky Beauty From
tho
8outh Sta Islands
One night John Sharp Williams
while a student at Ileldelberg Ger
many was In attendanco upon a tnveil
function at which the guest of honor
was n dark skinned princess alleged
to- hall from one of the south sen is
lands This princess was magnificent
ly bedecked and bejeweled and her
warm olive complexion set off by a
mass of black kinky hair full red
lips snow white teeth and black
sparkling eyes made her the center
of the function The masculino likc
Germans swarmed about her like bees
around a honeysuckle vine and ven
Dutch femininity could not discount
the charm of her manner or the boanty
of her person
John Sharp was Introduced of
course aud immediately upon obtain
ing a near view of the princess his
Southern instincts rose to the surface
and his southern blood began to boil
Watching his opportunity lie managed
to get to the beautys elbow Tlwn re
ducing his voice to a low but perfect
ly audible key lie sent into her star
tled ears this alarming query
Look here nigger where dl you
come from
Panic stricken and with all her self
possession scattered the alleged prin
cess turned upon her interrogator as
she heard the familiar intonation of
the southerner and looked into bis un
relenting face Then he stammered
Film South CaroIIny boss but for
do Lawds sake dont tell it
Whether John Sharp respected the
pitiful plea of a southern negress in a
faraway land and permitted her to
continue her bold imposition upon the
credulous Germans the story does not
tell But the fact remains that tho
princess rcaiized that she was in the
presence of one who frpm Intimate
knowledge of her race had divined
her African origin aud she could only
throw herself on his mercy Itiloxi

THE BASTILLE
Men and Methods In the Frmouc Old
French Prison
The BastiHe as a prison was appar
ently better kept and cleaner than
either Bicetre or the Chatelet and im
prisonment within its walls did not it
would seem dishonor the prisoner or
IiJs family A great many prisoners
were charged as mad and under this
elastic term the violent maniac the
ambitious madman the young spend
thrift the megalomaniac the readier
for the philosophers stone or the se
cret of perpetual motion all these
tiresome persons might be and were
Included
How then did these prisoners live
In tho underground cells or ungcous
as in the cells in the towers the prison
ers were on bread and water as a rule
In the other rooms in the main build
lag three meals were served a day with
drinkable Avine vin potable In cer
tain cases according to the quality
and distinction of the prisoner he
might supplement the meager furni
ture of his prison and get a provision
of books Very favored persons were
allowed their own servant if he would
consent voluntarily to undergo con
finement Yoltaire began to write the
Ilenriade as prisoner in the Bastille
Abbe Morellet of the Encyclopedia
speaks of the great fortress as the
cradle of his fame but we must re
member that it was perhaps not ad
visable to say much about the Bastille
when you were still living within its
walls and that as M Mouin has re
minded us the old Spartans offered
sacrinces to tear Prisoners more
over had to sign on their release an
elaborate declaration by which they
swore never to divulge directly or in
directly anything they might have
learned as prisoners concerning the
Bastille Mrs Frederic Harrison in
Nineteenth Century
A Feat For Blondin
Speaking of the straight and nar
row path said a congressman re
minds me of a story about a man I
knew in Chicago who stayed very late
at a dinner at the club When he
came out he started to walk in the
middle of the street
Hey John said a friend who met
him as he was making tho best of his
way along the car tracks why dont
you walk on the sidewalks
Walk on the sidewalks snorted
John Do you think Im Blondin
