the Interior of Russia to hold an inspection of the troops After the review ne stepped into the officers mess room where he noticed on the counter a row of bot tles to which instead of usual -labels white tickets with a single letter of the alphabet on each were affixed The bottles stood in rank and file and in alphabetical order What does this mean the general asked the lieutenant who was show ing him around That is an officers charade your excellency replied the officer rather embarrassed The general continued his inquiries and elicited the following information Each bottle contains a different kind of liquor At the meeting of the officers club one of us mixes some of these varieties In a glass so that the initials spell a name and the older and more experienced members of the club after lasting it guess what it is composed of and name the word in tended Very original Idea remarked the general And are you able to make a guess of that kind If it is your excellencys pleasure I will try the lieutenant replied The general went to the counter and mixed a glass while the officer stood at the other end of the room with his face to the wall Now guess what this means said the general as he handed the glass to the officer The latter drank it at one gulp smacked his tongue and replied That tf as Anna yonr excellency Bravo exclaimed the general It requires a lot of practice

man was tell ing stories of Toothpick Tom a fa mous Bowery character who lived by his wits as a gambler Tom was known far and wide not only because of this gambling mania which was in satiable but because of his quaint wit and originality He was an illiterate and could neither read nor write but in the course of his career he handled perhaps a little more than the average gamblers share of coin raked in across the green cloth One afternoon Tom woke up with a healthy appetite for breakfast said the New Yorker lie found on in vestigating his pockets that he had a five dollar gold piece and he set out for the nearest cafe to appease his hunger But just as he was about to enter the restaurant he suddenly rec ognized the entrance to the next plaee as the one leading to a gambling house which he had not visited for some time Tom paused He felt himself torn between two emotions hunger and the spirit of gambling Should he risk his gold piece on the faro table or the roulette or should he eat That was the question He might make a killing in which event of course he would eat sumptuously Then again he might lose and face starvation The natural thing for Tom to do was to leave it to chance Heads up I eat breakfast tails I play said Tom and flipped the coin It was heads up and Tom scratched his head thoughtfully and said Well well make it two out of three Again he tossed up but this time the gold piece struck a crevice in the sidewalk and disappeared Tom look ed at the crack and philosophically re marked Whipsawed both ways Milwau kee Free Tress Tricked of the Time A Philadelphia

HOUDONS DEATH mX OF WASHINGTON t WEtSTE tMZ CHCA7E The Lstter a Rapid Fire Maxim tr Fcrmcr a Thirteen Inch Can Probably no educational instltuti 1 in our country has ever graduated twi more eminent and eloquent lawyer than old Dartmouth college gave u In Daniel Webster and Rufus Choat Bays a writer in Our Dumb AnimuU It was my privilege as a member o the Suffolk bar to attend many yer ago the trial of one of the most lm portant cases of the year In our su preme judicial court at Boston On the two sides were nrrayn some half a dozen of our most eml nent lawyers Daniel Webster anrt Rufus Choate as it happened were on the same side A hostile witness was put on bj the other side some of whose evidence was of the utmost importance to Web ster and Choate if It could be ob tained and Choate undertook the task of obtaining it No man at our oar had more profound skill In cross ex amination and the questions he put to the witness were like the fire of a Maxim gun but In every Instance he failed to get the evidence he wanted and finally sat down In despair Then Webster who had been sitting in his great armchair apparently about half asleep as though taking no inter est in the case whatever slowly arose to his feet put his great eyos on the hostile witness asked him in the most serious tone a single question and brought instantly the required answer Then as quietly he sat down and ap parently went about half asleep again It was a scene photographed on my mind never to be forgotten The difference between Webster and Choate cannot better be explained as it rests in my mind than to com pare Choate to a Maxim gun raining bullets of eloquence wherever he chose and Webster to a great gun that can send cut a thirteen inch shell to pene trate an ironclad It was wonderful to listen to Choate I remember a case in which an ordinary lawyer would have sim ply said to the court that he moved a postponement of the case because wit ness So-and-so was sick but in this case Choate arose and commenced by saying that his important witness was on a bed of sickness and perhaps a bed of death and so went whirling up almost to the skies on this simple mo tion to the great interest of everybody that heard him Our old chief justice Judge Shaw one of the greatest lawyers of his time was a plain practical man and looked in his old age as he sat on the bench somewhat like a Chinese idol and he used to frequently cut off Mr Choates eloquence by calling him back to the plain facts The Reconciliation The doctor was soon at the childs bedside Remedies were administered then the agonized pair watched the fight for life skill and vitality on one side fierce disease on the othr When at last the struggle ceased the gray dawn of day was looking in at the window Life had won The child slept She is all right now said the doc tor shaking the mans hand which had gripped his and feeling his heart grow warm under the look of mute gratitude the woman turned upon him When he had gone the two stood side by side at the babys crib listen ing to her regular breathing Then with one accord they turned and kiss ed each other And in that kiss the icy barrier between them melted away Atlanta Constitution The French Guide Is a Public Pest Paris has produced a species which Is the lowest embodiment of sentient being It is the guide The guide is an
