Uaphnol, the g-cat Italian painter whose celebrated Hlbllcal pictures are worth fabulous sums of money, was not a rich man when young. lie en countered some of the vicissitudes of life, like many auothoi genius. Once when traveling he put up at an Inn and remained there unable to get away through lack of fluids to settle his bill. The landlord grew suspicious that such was the case, and Ills re quests for a settlement grew more and more pressing. Finally young Itaphael In desperation resorted to the follow ing device: He carefully painted upon a table top In his room a number of gold coins. and, placing the table In a certain light that gave a startling effect, he packed his few belongings and summoned his host. "There." ho exclaimed, with a lord ly wave of his hand toward the table, "Is enough to settle my bill and more. Now kindly show the way to the door.'' The innkeeper, with many smiles and bows, ushered his guest out and then hastened back to gather up his gold. Ills rag" and consternation when he discovered the fraud knew no bounds until a wealthy KuglMi traveler, recog nizing the value of the art put hi the work, gladly paid him f."0 for. the ta ble. COUNTERFEIT COIN. Tho Way Uncle Sam's Officials Treat Spurious Money. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be con scientious." said the man who hud a scruple, but Inst It. "One tiny I found a half dollar In my pocket -I don't know how It got there which didn't have 'sterling' written on If. Said I to myself philosophically: Tncle Sam Is a scrupulous fellow. He doesn't llko bad money in particular. So he has established a subtreasury where he ex changes bad money for good money.' I don't know why I thought this. I suppose I must have read It some where. When I had finished speaking. I found myself looking Into the weather beaten fare of Washington on the steps of tho subtreasury. So I enter ed. Hchlnd a cage I found a clerk. "Here is a half dollar I think Is bad. Please give me a good one for it." I said meekly. The clerk took the coin, carefully placed it on a die and brought a mallet down on It with a resounding blow. Then he tossed the coin hack to me and continued to count pennies. I looked at my coin and swore then and there I would never be soM'onselentlous again. The face of Hbei ty was battered into a big "C," which plainly meant counterfeit. New York Thiios. Will Makers' Whims. The late T. Itevnu, one time M. 1'. for (iravosond, who directed In his will that his ImhI.v should be cremated and "the ash residue ground to powder and again burned and dissipated in the air." Is one of many men (and womeni who have made equally remarkable arranu'cments for the disposal of their mortal remains. An angler who died recently directed that his ashes should be carried In a bait can and scattered from a boat over the surface of his fa vorite stream. Mrs. Ernie Erle-Drax directed that her body should be em balmed and placed in a glass paneled collln, for the reception of which a circular mausoleum with stained glass dome was to be built, while at his own wish the body of one of the Lords Newborough, after twelve months' in terment, was exhumed and reburled In Hurdsey Island, the reputed resting place of 20,000 saints. Washington Ga zette. A Dramatic Child. When my son was two or three years old he was seated hi his high chair at the table eating corn batter cakes and molasses, of which he was fond. Aft er eating as many cakes as were good for him he was told he could have no more. Heaving a great slab, he took the plate hi both hands and Hiked all the molasses off. Then, looking stead ily at the plate as he held It up before him. he said seriously, "I ain't got no more use for you." ami threw It back oer his head to the Moor, where It broke to pit s.-chlcago Tribune. Russian Jurymen. The most iuercillble stoiie-i have been told of Husslau jurymen. Thus the foreman of a Jury declared he would not send a poor fellow to prison be cause It happened to be his (the Jury man's) birthday. Another jury hud agreed upon a verdict of guilty when the church bells began to ring. They revised their verdict because a holi day had begun. A burglar was allowed to go free because the man whom he had robbed had refused to lend him money. This In the opinion or the Jury was a direct incentive to crime. Warned.
