A STRENUOUS RULER.
Daring, Coolness and Bravery ol
Janies IV. of Scotland.
One of the interesting characters ol
history is James IV., king of Scotland
from 1473 to 1">13. He was athletic,
courageous and fond of adventure. In
putting down insurrections and Im
proving the criminal administration of
the country he was foremost in the
ranks and did not shun a hand to hand
contest. He married a daughter of
Henry VII. of England and made a
treaty which secured peace between
the two countries. He labored to build
up a navy and develop commerce and
showed skillful diplomacy in dealing
with other nations. He was killed in
battle at Flodden, where his army
was disastrously defeated by Henry
VIII.
Those were strenuous times, when it
was necessary for a king to be a fight
er and to inspire his obstreperous sub
jects with some degree of terror. King
James used often to go about the coun
try in different disguises, not only be
cause he loved adventure, but because
he could thus secure information on
the state of the nation at first hand.
It is related of the vigorous Scottish
king that once when wandering through
the hills during the night he was over
taken by a violent storm and was
obliged to take shelter In a cavern near
Wemys, which is one of the most re
markable antiquities of Scotland. Hav
ing advanced some way in, the king
discovered a number of men and wo
men ready to begin to roast a sheep for
supper. From their appearance he sus
pected that he had fallen into evil com
pany, but as It was then too late he
asked hospitality from them till the
tempest was over. They granted it
and Invited the king, who was un
known to them, to sit down and Join
them at supper. They were a notori
ous band of robbers and cutthroats,
and this fact soon dawned upon James.
As soon as they had finished their
supper one of them presented a plate
on which two daggers were laid in the
form of a St. Andrew’s cross, telling
the king that this was the dessert they
always served to strangers; that he
must choose one of the daggers and
fight him whom the company selected
as his antagonist The king, realizing
that he was to be murdered, Instantly
seized both daggers, one In each hand,
and plunged them Into the hearts of
the two robbers nearest to him. He
then dashed out of the cave and made
his escape, returning as soon as pos
sible with a body of soldiers, by whom
the whole band was arrested and pub
licly hanged.—Punxsutawney Spirit.
A BRAHMS ANECDOTE.
The Man Who Spoiled an Evening For
the Great Composer.
Among the Brahms anecdotes which
are popular in Germany this one was
contributed by Frau Luise I'ohl.
Brahms liked Baden-Baden and took as
much pleasure in a winter visit to the
place as in the crowded summer time.
The residents knew this when they in
vited him in 1876 to come and direct
some of his works. After the con
cert the friends of the master assem
bled at Goldemen Kranz by invitation
of the oberburgermelster ganner to
"drink a glass of wine.” The session
lasted long, but gradually the company
grew smaller. Presently they had ail
gone except Brahms and Cornelius
Rubner. After awhile even Brahms
suggested home, and his young com
panion eagerly agreed to adjourn the
session. On the way home Brahms
asked his companion, whose name he
had not heard, “By the way, do you
know this young director Rubner?”
“Are you interested in him?” he ask
ed by way of answer.
“Certainly. Adolf Jensen thinks he
is not only great, but genial. Don’t you
know him?”
“I know him very well. He is an ar
rogant, conceited fellow, who can do
nothing and knows nothing.”
The pleasure of the evening was
spoiled by this harsh opinion as to a
man whom Brahms had made up his
mind to like. The next morning he at
tended, with some others, a breakfast
at Jensen’s, where he told the story.
He had hardly finished when the door
opened and Rubner walked in.
“That's the man who slandered your
friend,” said Brahms, and when ev
erybody laughed he suspected what
was told to him as soon as the first
man recovered.
Using the Fire Buckets.
In many business offices fire buckets
are placed, filled with water, in readi
ness for an emergency. It is seldom,
says the Scientific American, that in
structions for use are pinned near the
supply. The wrong way to tackle an
incipient fire is (usually) to hurl the
whole contents of a bucket on the spot.
Most of the water is wasted by this
means. A heavy sprinkling is more
effective. The water may be splashed
on the blaze by hand, but a more use
ful sprinkler is a long haired white
wash brush. One of these should hang
beside every nest of fire buckets.
A Doubtful Assertion.
Browne—They say that drowning
men catch at straws.
Towne—Yes, but I doubt it. I’ve seen
a number of men drown, and those of
them who had any preference at all
seemed in favor of a plank. In fact, I
do not now recall ever having been
asked for a straw by a gentleman who
was drowning.—New York Journal.
