Excessive POliteness.

As an illustration of the excessive
politeness of the people of Saxony,
the Boston Transcript tells the following
incident:
The Saxons are very polite people,
so over-polite that they not unfrequently
bring down ridicule upon themselves,
1t used to be told in Dresden that a
stranger in the city was one day crossing
the great bridge that spans the Elbe,
and accosted native with a request TO
be directed to a certain church which he
wished to find.
"a" Really, my dear sir" said the Ores
dener, bowling low, 81 grieve greatly to
say it, but | cannot tell YOU"
The stranger passed on, little sur
prised at this voluble answer to simple
question. He had proceeded but few
rods when he heard buried footsteps
behind him, and turning, saw the same
man running to catch up with him. In
moment his pursuer was by his side,
his breath nearly gone, but enough left
to say:
=" My dear sir, you asked me how you
could find the church, and it panied me
to have to say that l did not know. Just
now | met my brother and asked him,
but l grieve to say that he did not know
either"

Kind Inuuiries.

Cousin Kate was a sweet, wide-awake
beauty of about seventeen, and she took
it into her head to 90 down on Long Is
land to see rome relations of hers who
had the misfortune to live there. Among
those relations there CHANGED to be a
young swain, who had seen Kate on a
previous occasion, and, seeing, fell
deeply in love with her. He called at
the house on the evening of her arrival,
and she met him on the piazza, where
she was enjoying the evening air in
company with two or three of her
friends. The poor fellow was so bashful
that he could not find his tongue for
come time. At length he stammered
out: How's your mother % "Quite
well, thank you" Another silence on
the part of Josh, during which Kate
and her friends did the best they could
TO relieve the monotony. After waiting
about fifteen minutes for him to COM
mence to make himself agreeable, he
again broke the spell by: How's your
fatherY which was answered much in
the same manner as the first one, and
then followed another silence like the
other. " How's your father and
mother2' again put in the bashful lover.
"Quite well, both of them" This was
followed by change of glances and a
suppressed smile. This lasted some ten
minutes more, during which Josh was
fidgeting in his seat, stroking his Sunday
hat. But at length another question
came: How's your parentsp This
produced an explosion that made the
woods ring.

for a moment off his person, or out of
his sight--seemed to make them mad.
Lounging around the drinking saloons
or brokers' shops, they at last talked OF
nothing else. Stories were told of how
bold men in the Indies, with fortunate
blow, had taken such treasures from the
finders, and gone to Europe topass their
lives amid plenty and pleasure. Stress
was laid on the fact that seldom or
never search was made for those that did
the deed. And when the speakers re-
lated these things, there was an ominous
lowering of voices that certainly meant
no good.
One bright spring morning the
strangers slight, youthful form was
missed among the men, and it was
noticed his claim was empty through
the day. They spoke of it among them
selves, and there was but one explana-
ton of his absence. He had been foully
dealt with. Some one, to get the price
less diamond, had taken the miner s
life.
And this proved to be the truth. He
was found that night murdered, in the
little river, and the belt and jewel were
gone.
They carried the stiff, CORY body to
the camp and prepared it for burial
Rude were the hands and rough the
hearts perhaps at the work, but some
thing in the pale, handsome face, with
the blood trickling from an awful club
wound in the forehead made them
gentler. They had not loved him alive
but now dead, there went up many
silent curses against his murderers.
And who these we're did not long re-
main secret. Two of the most profit
gate villains of the camp were the cul-
prits. Each fearing the other, divulged
the story of the crime. And when it
was known, the unmarked grave by the
river became shrine, where many OF
the men often went, and in the memories
that it called up, lived over an earlier
and better life.
1t seemed they had resolved on rob.
bling him and making their way south
At first the thought of murder had not
entered their minds. So they followed
him one evening to the stream, and saw
him take out the diamond that appeared
to flash and glitter in the light of the set
ting sun. They were at some distance
and saw him press the stone to his lips
again and again. And while sitting
silently there, they had crept up, and
springingly quickly, pinned him to the
earth. He struggled desperately, and
fearful of losing their prize, the fatal
blow was struck.
They then took his treasure from the
hand still closely clutching it in death
1t was only loeket containing the
pictures of an elderly woman, evidently
his mother and of young girl, probably
his sweetheart. Between the portraits
was the remains of faded flower.
This was the great diamond, and fol
this they had shed brothers blood.
The murderers were sent under escort
to Cape Town, but ere they reached il
perhaps through the completely of the
guard, escaped.
None of the men knew his name OF
country, or knowing, never mentioned
them. But the story, however, of the
Great Diamond to this day remains
one of the classics of Diamantina Camp

A Remarkable Man,

The Cory Herald says: Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard, living in Scottsville, Warren
County, have seventeen children, all
born within twenty-one years, and never
more than one at time. They live in
a shanly with only two rooms. Mr..
Howard, it is said, can recite the names
of his children backwards in seven diff
ferent languages, blindfolded, with his
hands behind him. He makes it point
to split cord of wood every morning
before breakfast, and has not missed
voting since Jackson was a candidate.
he has never seen sick day in his life,
never drank anything stronger than
alcohol, never chewed any fne-cut, and
never swore any thing stronger than
" by darn" If we knew just how far
Scottsville is situated from Cory, we
might give further particulars.

Mr.. IRvING's Hamlet has settled

declaring it consistent with itself in
setting forth Hamlet's character, moods,
and mental states, presenting him
clearly as mind ticklishly poised on
the line between great wit and madness
and so naturally assuming the mask
of madness-and with weakness of

ment in him of the reflective element

it gives is obtained from the most trust

GEN. MoLTKE estimates that fully
sixty thousand Russian soldiers persisted
in the campaign of 1929, and that half
of them fell victims to the plague,
Which found their frames, enervated by
privation and hardship, an easy prey,
while the absence of sanitary provision
gave little chance even to those whose
constitutions might have withstood the
disease. The epidemic in Athens
described by Thucydides is not now be-
lieved to have been identical with
plague, the date of whose first appear
ance is generally referred to the reign
of Justinian A. d. 542, in whose time it
thrice appeared. Since then its vista
tions have gradually become less fire.

Turkey have suffered since 1900, and
Constantinople has not been thus af-
fected since 184l.

The true way to invigorate feeble system
is to infuse activity into the operations of
the stomach, that wondrous alembic in
which the food is transmitted into the con-
stituents of blood, the chief element Of our
vitality. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, be-
cause it accomplishes this end, is greatly to
be preferred to many SO called tonics, useful
indeed az appetizers, but imperative as aids
to digestion and assimilation. This sterling
cordial, while it invigorates the stomach,
BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the liver, bowels, and
kidneys, insuring the escape through the
regular channels Of effete and useless matter
thrown off by the system, which is thus
purified as well as invigorated by it. Its
tonic influence is soon made manifest by an
increase of vital energy and more active
and regular discharge of every physical
function, and it has the further effect of
rendering the system unassailable by ma
larial epidCmics.

THE TANGLED sKErs. zs---
BY KBEs K. RExFoRp.

Two men were talking by the sea
of what had been and what might be,
And as the first his hopes made known
The tide upon the bar made moan.
The boon ask OF fate, is fame
Aworid-known and an honored name.
/ ask not love. Let that pass ~,
If fame be mine that can not die.
Those in the valley seek for love.
My feet must climb the heights above"
" ask not fame" the other said.
"Wbat matters praise when am dead7
Be mine the boon of love and home
From which my feet may never roam.
The lowliest path will pleasant be
If love is there TO walk with me-"
All strange indeed the ways of fate,
The tangled threads will not come straight
Love came to him who asked for fame.
The world has never heard his name.
With wife and children by his side,
His neighbors think bin satisfied.
But by his hearth he often hears
The great world praises in his ears,
And wonders vaguely which were lest,
The hills wide view, or valleys rest1
To him who asked for love and home,
Came fame, and ever he must roam.
Through all the world his name Is known,
But he goes on unloved. alone.
Men envy him They can not know
The human heart that hungers so
For love and home. Below be sees,
With longing eyes, the valleys peace.
But up the hill he climbs alone:
He asked for bread and found stone.
Oh, sorely-taugled skein OF fatel
Come time, God grant. the threads come straight

railway accident, obtains a judgment of
five thousand dollars damages against
the railway company. The same court
gives verdict for fifteen thousand dol

protests against the injustice of his de-

And the judge responds. "The decision
is perfectly equitable. A man who has
lost a leg cannot replace it with another

dollars can easily get a new husband,

A PRISONER at New Ulm, Minnesota,
escaped from Jail by practiciDg a pious
fraud. He pretended to be very pious,
and every night before retiring knelt
at his bedside as if in prayer. The
Jailer gave instructions not to disturb
him while so engaged. This the prisoner
no doubt knew, and in order to deceive
the Jailer he stuffed out pair Of pants
and coat and placed them in front of
the bed in kneeling posture, and then
secreted himself in an empty cell. When
the Jailer closed the cell for the night
he supposed him to be saying his usual
prayers, and the trick was not discovered
until the next morning after his escape.
1t is well to add that he was sub
sequently recaptured, and so, after all,
lost his trick.
