manage 10 obtain titles and decorations by vav{;
that are dark and mysterious as those of the kes-
then Chinee. Some little act of gallantry to any
member of royalty, If worked up and manipulated.
in an effective manner is to bring Its reward
The story is told of lucky American in Rome who
recently earned decoration and title by rushing b
the rescue Of the Queens poodle. Ii was bis rood
fortune to be walking on the Pincian Hill at tht|
same hour the Queen was taking her afternoon
promenade. Her pet poodle had wandered short
distance from her whom IL was pounced upon BY s
big BULLDOG, and would have been chewed up and
swallowed Wholesaler collar. pink ribbon and all
course the Queen screamed and tainted and WA
only restored TO consciousness by having her favor
tie placed in her arms unframed by the gallant for
her royal bighness at the same time his card
and address. 1t was bonanza OF luck to the man

ton and ever since wherever re s; ne goes society

American colonies in Paris. Rome and Florence
the blue and red ribbon in his butt0n-hole 10 the
envy Of his less fortunate countrymen.
recently met in Marseilles an American whom a
had known years ago, first as captain OF q trading
vessel and afterward as successful ship chandler.
He had begun life as poor cabin boy In o coastna
schooner, land had worked himself up the ladder
until fortune had smiled upon him and he had
the bg sSa ~ large small
which was prominently displayed as an insignia
of rank.
"Halloo p 1 exclaimed with some surprise, point
ing TO the rosette; what have you been doing ".
"Ol nothing--nothIng particular" ne answered;
evidently not wishing to enter into particulars; ~
was not aware had it on" and unpinning it he
placed it carefully in his vest pocket.
But .yeu have got decorations you have been
made knight or prince" l said.
NONSENSE! nothing of the kind; It was given me
as mark of esteem, q recognition. you un-
derstand foolish know, but we Americans do fsol-
ish things sometimes, but please don't mention II
when you get home.0
"Of course not but such favors are never be-
slowed promiscuously without cause. You must
have saved the life of some member OF the royal
family"
"Not much" he said, giving me peculiar twinkle
with his right eye; 81 wasn't such q fool as 70

there IS q cheaper way of getting these things"
/ saw that the subject Of titles, and the manner
in which he obtained his, were not fay0rIte topics
with him, and so turned the conversation. learned
afterward, however. as fact that ne had paid the
Pope several thousands of dollars for title which
allowed him the privilege Of displaying the small
rOsette on his coat collar.

From I1He.
Can you recall an ode to June
Or lines to any river -. -
In which YOU do not meet 1.-THE moon"
And see " the mOOnbeams quiver"f
Pve heard such songs to many tune,
But never yet-nO niver-
Have escaped that rhyme to june"
Or missed that rhyme to river"
at times the bard from his refrain
moments respite snatches,
The while his OverEcudgelled brain
At some new jingle catches;
Yet long from the unlucky moon
Himself he cannot sover,
But grasps once more that rhyme to june"
And seeks rhyme to river"
Then let not Incidence he blamed
On him whose verses show II
BY stunning burdens" rightly named
For reader and for poet,
For rhymes must fail him late or soon,
Nor can he deal for ever
In words whose sound resembles june"
And assonants OF river.
When '1oon's" been rsed, and "shoon" and spoon,
And "stver' sounded "stvver,"
Think of a bard reduced TO COON"
And left alone with "liyer0l
Alb, then, how blessed were the bOonl
How dOubly blest the giver,
Who gave him one rhyme moro for june"
And one more rhyme for "river"I

BRLBERY IN PARLLANENT
From The COinhiH.

Dandy did not exactly mtrodue tie practice Of
briblng members, but ho was tho Minister who
reduced il TO a system. The direct bribery of mem
bcrs in hard cash tasted for about century. Lord
Rockingham was the first Primo Minister who re-
fused to bride. His term Of Office was remarkably
short. The price of q members vote ranged, under
George Ill, IRON Zoo to 81 900. Mr.. Granville
in asking Lord sage and Sclc by letter, for his sup
port enclosed a 600 note Lord Sage wrote back,
promising his vote, but returning the money. Tho
tone of Lord Sayc's letter Is extremely courteous,
with absolutely nothing in il of offended dignity.
lie merely observes that he has made IT rule never
TO accept presents OF That sort. Mr. Glcnvle replies
by cOmplimenting him on his nice sense of honor.
IlllOts0n had the courage 10 nmonstfate with
William III against the practice. The ing took the
lecture in good part and told the Archbishop he WAS
very sorry, but could not help himself. There was
other way with those men" 1t was in thut reign
that Sir John Trevor Speaker of the House of Com
mons, was found guilty of taking II bribo Of n
