It Is related that the present czar
of Russia, returning once from a long
journey, was weary and in no mood
to be trifled with. As he was pass-
ing through his apartments he slipped
on a bearskin mat that lay on the
polished floor. Clutching at one of
his attendants, he nearly brought him-
self and his support to the floor.
Baron Knldoff, at the time a confl
dential adviser, could not check a
smile, which his monarch turned Just
in time to observe. The next day
Knldoff was dismissed from his of-
fice, and lost the $60,000 attached to
the post.
Another ruler who is not to be trifled
with Is William of Germany. Gough
Milbanke, a clever but bluff Scot, who
was an expert in colonial administra'
tlon, was once taken up by the kaiser,
who wished his advice on eastern af-
fairs, and had decided to give hlni ;
an important position to guard Ger- i
man interests in China. At one of
their conferences the kaiser made an
absurd suggestion as to eastern diplo- '
macy. Milbanke laughed. The em-
peror wished him a frigid good night,
and never received him again.
Another Scottisn administrator, Dun- I
can McVea, was advising the late pleas-
ant but touchy king of Portugal, who j
had planned to put the shaky govern- '
ment of Jhe Cape Verde islands in the
hands of this skillful manager. The
king became much excited, and made
a ludicrous botch of his English which
was usually excellent. McVea smiled
audibly, and was promptly ordered
away. He was never appointed to the
governorship, which carried a salary
of $25,000.
Mary had for neighbor a small play-
mate, a much-loved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street ;
one day, throwing back a glance at his 1
mother. At that instant a trolley car
awept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town Into
mourning. Each family wept as ,
though its own son had been lost.
Mary was utterly disconsolate and, j
little as she had previously known of
death, realized in a childish way the !
added horror of this one. In her con- [

mother sat with sobs in their throats

The Thirsty Veteran.
The pitiful poverty of the army vet-
erans, on whose behalf Earl Roberts
makes nn appeal, has developed in
some of them a subtle keenness In se-
curing for themselves those little lux-
uries which want of money prevents
them from obtaining in the ordinary
way. An aged hero of the Crimean
war and Indian mutiny, who resided in
a remote village In Scotland, was one
day interviewed by a party of gentle-
men on an outing. They listened with
interest to the story of the old man's
share in the above-mentioned cam-
paigns, and, after thanking him pro-
fusely, were about to depart, when th«
aged warrior suddenly remarked:
"There's another thing, gentlemen,
that I can recall to mind." "Ah, In-
deed! What is that?" eagerly asked
the tourists, expecting to hear a most

Creek county's board of county com-
missioners bought its first bridge prop-

Pole Cat creek bridge to the Glenn
Pool, near Sapulpa, paying $1,018. Tile

mained some to be paid. The owners
agreed to turn it over to the county,
providing the county assumed the bal-

"The other day, mamma," he said,
"I found the church door unlocked,

body there, and I—"
"You didn't take anything away,
did you, son?" she asked.
"Worse than that! I—"

A Baltimore man had until recently j
a darky in his employ—about as shift- |
less and worthless a darky, says he, as
ever he came across. One day the
' employer, his patience exhausted,
j called Sam into his office and told him j
to look for another job. "Will you give }
! me a letter of recommendation?" asked i
| Sam, piteously. Although he felt that I
| he could not conscientiously comply j
with this request, the Baltimore man's
, heart was touched by the appeal. So |
| he sat down to his desk to write a
| non-committal letter of character for
j the negro. His effort resulted as fol-
lows: "This man, Sam Harkins, has
worked for me one week, and I am
satisfied."

A Mr. Nosmo King was questioned
about the oddity of his Christian
name.
"It is this way," he said; "my moth-
er made a point of giving all of her
children unusual names. 1 was three
months old before she found one for
me that she liked. One day, while
out shopping, she saw on one-half of a
swinging door the word 'Nosmo,' whil9
the other half bore 'King,' her own
name.
" 'Nosmo King,' she noted mentally,
not perceiving that the letters spelled
'no smoking' when the doors were
closed; hence my lifelong affliction."—

Weather or Not.
A Oermantown woman discovered
one morning recently that her maid
Nora had broken the thermometer that
hung in the reception hall.
"Well, Nora," sighed the mistress of
the house, in a resigned way, "you've
managed to break the thermometer,
haven't, you?"
"Yis, mum," replied the maid, in a
tone equally resigned. "And, now,
mum, we'll jist have to take the weath-
er aa It coines!"—Harper's Weekly.
A lady writer who not only has done
) good literary work, but reared a
family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal
food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes; —
"I am an enthusiastic proclaimcr of
Grape-Nuts as a. regular diet. I for-
merly had no appetite in the morning
I and for 8 years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
"Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
cat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough-
nuts or anything I happened to find.
Being a writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
"When I read of Grape-Nuts I began
eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a litle pig, good natured and
contented.
"Within a week I had plenty of
breast milk, and felt stronger within
two weeks. I wrote evenings and
feeling the need of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer of
Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my
usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, oi
cake for dessert at night.
"Grape-Nuts did wonders for me
and 1 learned to like it. I did not mind
my housework or mother's cares, for
I felt strong and full of 'go.' I grew
plump, nerves strong, and when 1
wrote my brain was active and clear;
indeed, the dull head pain never re
turned."
