Not Tall Enough.

History has recorded that o for
eign princess to whom Henry VIII
OF England offered his hand in mar
rage sent back the pointed answer
that Elf she had two heads she
would gladly have placed one OF
them at his majesty's disposal"
This aHusion to the fate Of Anne
Boleyn and Katharine Howard was
q good specimen of the epigrammnt-
ic smartness of that period; but,
says Mr.. David Kerr, an equally
creditable performance has been
furnished by our own age.
just at the time when vague re-
ports were beginning to creep
abroad that Germany was meditat.
ing fresh extension of her frontier
at the expense of Holland q Dutch
official of high rank happened to be
visiting the court of Berlin, where he
was handsomely entertained. Among
other spectacles got up to amuse
him a review was organized at Pots
dam.
"What does your excellency think
of our soldiers?" asked Prince Bis
mark, as one of the regiments came
marching past in admirable order.
"They look as if they knew how to
fight" replied the visitor gravely,
"but they remote quite tall enough"
The prince looked rather surprised
at this d~isparaging criticism. He
made no answer, however, and sew
eral other regiments filed past in
succession; but the Dutchman's
verdict upon each and all was still
the same: "Not tall enough"
At length the grcnadiers Of the
guards made their appearances
magnificent body ofveterans, big and
stalwart enough to have satisfied
even the giant loving father OF
Frederick the Great; but the inexor-
able critic merely said, "Fine soldiers,
but not tall enough"
Then Prince Bismarck fairly lost
patience, and rejoined, somewhat
sharply, "These grenadiers are the
finest men in our whole army; may I
ask what your excellency is pleased
to mean by saying they are not tall
enough"
The Dutchman looked him full in
the face, and replied with significant
emphasis, II mean that we can
flood our country twelve feet Deep

The Influenza,

The epidemic Influenza, or Ella
Grippe" as it is called in Europe,
seems to be a sort of century plant.
1t blooms once in a hundred years;
at least it has assumed q general ep-
idemic form and spread over the
world at periods of about a century
apart.
Medical authorities agree that of
itself it is not especially dangerous.
and is not likely to result fatally, but
is liable, if the system be run down
at the time OF the attack, to induce
complications that may result in
death. To a person with any chron-
ic disorder an attack of LA Grippe"
is attended with danger.
The microbe theory of the general
Infection seems to be the one most
generally adopted by the medical
profession. Whether it be correct or
not one fact seems to have been thor
oughly established in the progress of
the epidemic through the communi.
ty-it attacks with greatest viru-
lence persons whose systems have
been weakened, or "run down" from
any cause.
Many of the fatal cases have result
ed because Of complications with
kidney disorders. Another poison
finds egress into the system, and the
kidneys, already weakened and un-
able to perform, and failing, death
follows as a matter ofcourse.
LA Grippe" does not take hold Of
a person whose system is in good
condition, or if at oil, the attack is
a very light one, easily thrown off.
If, during the prevalence of the cpl
demic, people would keep their liver
and kidneys in perfect working Or
der by the use of "Warner's Safe
Cure" which never fails to render
these purifying organs of the system
competent to fully perform their
great office, they need have little fear
of"La Grippe" or any epidemic OF
similar sporadic character.

THE GERMAN AND HIS CLOCK.

The story is told of a German who took
the hands Of his clock to the maker to have
them fxed, because they did not keep proper
time. OF course, the clock maker demanded
the works, as in them lay the trouble. Boils
and blotches, pimples and other ~eruptions
on the exterior tell Of q disordered condition
Of the blood within. Be you man or woman,
or aught else human, il you have these in
%dications, be wise in time and take DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Il puts
the liver and kidneys in good working order,
purifes the blood, cleanses the system from
all impurities from whatever cause arising,

while the young woman watched

/ Soldier is dead
There was air of sadness at the Union
depot and in the Offices along Union avenue

| officials Who was the soldier who had so many
| friends? It was not the SOLDIER nor "a SOL
| der" but plain Soldier" and he was only
dog, little black fellow who had for years been
familiar character around the depot Every
| body was friend, not only for his own sake but
| on account of the history of his eventful life,
which could he but have been able to talk
would have added an interesting page to west
ern history.
One day some eleven years ago an old soldier
! got of an east-boupd train. He had been
wounded while fighting Indians on the plains
and was on his way nome on a furlough but
was taken sick here and sent to hospital
where he only lived two or three days With
him when he arrived here was little black dog,
which he said had been his constant compenion
on tho plains, and as he was in Gen Terry's
command when they went or were supposed to
have gone to brave Clusters relief at the time of
| the Little Big Horn slaughter the canine passed
all through that remarkable campaign.
When the man was taken TO the hospital the
dog remained at the depot, and for two DAYS
| wandered over the tracks. under the cars and
up and down Union avenue hutning for his
master. who, before this, had gone to await the
final bugle call At last h. located in the Union
Pacific ticket office, opposite the main entrance
to the depot, and from that time on wasa fix-
ture with the Overland people. T. A. Snaw the
ticket agent, took him under his especial charge,
and, after time, the dog. which had been
christened Soldier, was taken to Mr. Sbaw's
home, where he soon become great pct with

building and a'so the Offices along the avenue,
then he would return to Mr.. Shaw's home for

mouths of absence, turned up foot-sore and
almost exhausted. Not long after he again dis

He Had Thirty seven Razors.

Last week Chief Justice Paxson, of the Penn.

barber shop, in this city. says the Allentown
Democrat to get shaved. and that after the
work had been performed lie inquired OF the
barber as to his charges for honing razors and
be but one or two, stated that his price was a
quarter apiece. The judge had nothing to saw
against this and next day called and laid down
lot of thirty of the finest chin-scrapers
ever seen by Mr.. Borneman for having them
honed He naturally felt surprised on see.
ing such large lot of shaving instruments for
individual use and, remarking thereupon, the
judge explained that he was accustomed to
have large numbers of gentlemen sojourners
from Philadelphia at his farm mansion In Bucks
county, and from the fact that the nearest
barber shop was nine miles distant. he naturally
had to be provided with sharp implements fol
their accommodation, and with a good lot al

Despite the disadvantages of being only
IA years old and deaf mute, Charles
Kroeker is one of the star cracksmen of this
country. As a lock-picker, jimmy worker,
jail-brealzer, burglar and general all-round
bowling terror, he issaid to have few equals
and certainly no superiors between Barne-
gat bay and Tehuantapec. His infrmity
doesn't seem to retard his progress in the
modern accomplishments of civilization in
the slightest degree. Since he cannot be
kept in Ais or reformatory schools, the
best thing for the boy would be to send him
to an insane asylum, where he could be
carefully guarded. Such precocious de-
pravity cannot be the product of healthy
mental condition.
