The Sultln's Mistake.

Everybody knows that the Emperor
William is German to the fingcr-tips
and that his patriotism will not permit
him to allow French to appear even
upon his bill Of fare. The sultan is
nothing if not polite, and when William
was his guest a few weeks ago was ex-
tremelv careful that all his prcjudices
should be most scrupulously respected.
With this hospitable end in view he
ordered that William should be
served with German champagne
only and is mortified now to know
that this delicate attention was
not appreciated as it ought to have
been. The emperor it is understood
has a weakness, for champagne and
does not trouble himself about its ma
tiOnality SO long as the flavor IS all
right. On this point his patriotism Is
not. infiexible

The toad has the same ardent love
for dinner Of bugs and insects that Il
darlly has for a hunk of watermelon or
a small boy for Green apple. On this
account many well-posted gardeners al
ways turn into their gardens any stray
toads that come hanging around the

The toad looks like a slow creature,

has no flies on him. He has them in
him before he is done. The best place
to watch the interesting method of
