HER MONEY ORDER.
The Empress of Austria Had Great Dim

The Empress of Austria Had Great Dim
 culty in Collecting H.
 The Empress of Austria during her recent visit to France was subjected to some curious inconvenience owing to the excessive red-tapeism of the post office officials and the fact that she trav- eled under an assumed name. Foreign CTS receiving p0st-office orders must pro- duce either a passport, their landlords receipt for quarta='s Ee0t or tax re- ceipt before Ehey can get them cashed. The Empress on two different occasions had reason(to feel incensed at the wood en application of these rules. One was at ToulOn, where she had an order for a lump of money payable to Mrs. Nichol- son" She went herself to draw this sum, but could show no passport, no re- ceipJ for quarters rent or for years taxes, and was treated by the clerk as a person to suspect, but that official was at last brought so far round as to say that if she could produce few hotel bills be would pay the money. She said she did not think she had any, as she was not collector ot such documents. However. on searching in her pocket she found she had her last bill and vio- 1 toriously presented it, not rehectiDg that it was made out for Miss Simp- son" The only thing that remained for her to do was to apply for help to the | Austrian Consul or to declare her incog. | nita- She took the latter course by showing Q photograph of herself, which she had picked up in a shop at Lisbon. with her style and title printed beneath. ! The clerk was naturally confounded and made haste to cash her order. When she was at Algiers similar misadven- ! ture befel her. The order was the 1 largest that had ever been heard of by the postal authorities there, and was also made out for Mrs. Nicholson" To obtain the money her Majesty called on
 NJ. Tirman, the Governor-General, told who she was and asked his good offices.
 He did not fortunately. hesitate no nent

Schumacher is a million aire and has earned his money by his own exertions. His daily work is indi- cated by remark made in a recent in- tervieW upon the eight-hour work day II believe in it for I've always worked on tEe eight-hour system myself-eight hours before lunch and eight hours aft erward." He dresses very plainly. His sons dress faultlessly, and they have often tried to get the old gentleman himself to pay httle more attention to matters of dress. But they have failed. Recently Mir, Schumacher casually an- nounoed bis intention of buying a new overcost 10 replace his cid. well-worn garment that had done service for many years. The sons formed a plan 10 in- duce him to wear fine coat They had a coat made by taller and paid him $50 for it. They then gave him instruc- tions to sell it to Mir. Schumacher for SEQ or less if necessary Then the boys told their father that there was a good coat for sale cheap in a downtown tailor shop and advised him to buy it. They even offered to take him to look at it. The old gentleman accompanied them. tried on the coat, and was delighted with 1t. He was as- tonished, tOo, to learn that it cost no more than an ordinary ready-mads gar ment and bought it at once.
