Confidence In the Mails
Having sent a strong box key by
mail in an unregistered letter a clerk
was told by his employer that the key
arrived O K but that the means of
transportation adopted showed too
much conHdeuce In answer the clerk
said Ever since a New Years eve
incident of two yea re standing my
conttdence in the postodice is great
And pressed for an explanation he
said That evening or early in the
morning rather a man came out of a
restaurant rather the worse for cele
brating fie had a wallet in his pocket
containing considerable money and
was uncertain as to the honesty of his
companions He went to a letter box
forced the wallet through the slot and
continued to make a night of it It
required considerable red tape to re
cover his property but he got it

Tipping and Treating
There are two practices in this coun
try that are being justly condemned
One is tipping and the other treating
To be sure we are not responsible for
originating either Away back in the
days of Queen Elizabeth every coffee
house had a box bearing the inscrip
tion To Insure Promptness hence
T I P Neither is treating an innova
tion Some of the Caesars so says his
tory used to get huffy when their
guests could not see the bottom of the
glass often enough But both have got
such a hold on Americans that they
have come to be recognized as national
habits and the latter sometimes as a
national evil Indianapolis News
Legend of Holyrood Palace
Holyrood palace Edinburgh Scot
land once a British royal residence Is
the subject of a strange legend Rob
ert Louis Stevenson alludes to It In his
little book on Edinburgh There is a
silly story he writes of a subterra
nean passage between the castle of
Holyrood and a bold highland pipei
who volunteered to explore its wind
ings He made his entrance by the up
per end playing a strathspey The cu
rious footed it after him down the
street following his descent by the
sound of the chanter from below until
all of a sudden about the level of St
Giles the music came abruptly to an
end and the people in the street stood
at fault with hands uplifted Whethei
he was choked with gases or perished
in a quag or was removed bodily bj
the evil one remains a point of doubt
but the piper has never again beei
seen or heard of from that day to this

MOZARTS UNTIMELY END
Sad Finish of the Career of the Great
Musical Genius
Late horns unwearied vigils ever
lasting labor the effects of chills damp
and exposure in the hard life he led
a life alternating between brilliant
passages and the most loathsome
drudgery between rosy anticipations
of fortune and inevitable and eternal
disappointments had their effects on
the vigorous constitution of Mozart
His lamp of life burnt out untimely
While still a young man only thirty
five years old he fell into ill health
the symptoms of which were a fitful
restless nervousness a craving for in
ordinate excitement and a rapid decay
of the physical stamina of his consti
tution
Unfortunately for him in the ab
sence of any strong infiuence at home
which might keep him in the path of
duty he was tempted to seek recrea
tion abroad and fell into the company
of a dissipated set of men haunters
of the theaters and taverns of Vienna
the chief spirit of whom was one
Schikaneder a low coarse man of nei
ther refinement nor talent In com
pany with this crew the glorious gen
ius whose critical state of health de
manded the utmost care and attention

night from tavern to tavern In Vienna

idea that he was gathering the secret
spirit of brotherhood for use in his
