Way tho Great Italian Painter
Once Qottled a Bill.
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

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.

that his ImhI.v should be cremated and
"the ash residue ground to powder

arranu'cments for the disposal of their

recently directed that his ashes should
be carried In a bait can and scattered
from a boat over the surface of his fa

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

more use for you." ami threw It back

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.
