Showing How = Man VIII Get Into tkS
Habit of Doing Things
1t was in the days when oil was first
struck in Pennsylvania that one lucky
possessor of some valuable land sold 1t at
an excellent bargain. He had long had a
desire to visit Europe, and US his present
means enabled him to crafty his wish it
was not long before he was on one of the
ocean liners blowing his way to the Old
World. He did England and Ireland In
first class style, acquiring a fund of expo
rience from contact with landlords and
Others that was certainly valuable, If only
for what it cost him to acquire it.
Learning what he did at the price among
those that spoke his own language, 1t
made him in a measure curious to see how
the co~unterparts of these gentry would
treat him in sunny France and Italy. The
few inquiries he made did not reassure him
thai Gallo or Italian hosts were any less
frugal or exacting than those OF the Brit
ish kingdom, so that he not ~unnaturally
Judged from past experience that so much
OF his time as was not employed in sleep
ing would be chiefly occupied in opening
his pocketbook and making various pay
ments and donations more or less just to
almost everybody he was brought in con-
tact with.
Whether he was right or wrong in thu
assuming that everything went so long as
1t was paid for, he could not positively de
eide for some time. The theory that it was
all right had carried him through Paris
and other OF the principal cities, after visit
ing which he had come to Marseilles.
Here his eyes were delighted with reading
the legend on a rather fair looking hotel
that English was spoken there. Entering
he found this statement only partly ven-
fed, as a knowledge of that speech was
confined to the proprietor. Still as he had
made out hitherto this was nothing of q
shock, although he soon found the petty
sxtortions practiced upon him were. The
slightest service was treated In the light OF
an item for the bill. Opening q window
seemed to be made a memorandum of by
the officiating waiter, and handing him a
light for his cigar had the character Of a
special extra.
This went on for about half a day, when
he had an alteration with an official
whom he enormously took for the man
that blacked the boots. As neither under
stood the other too well, the traveller. pos
sibly mistaking the garcon's natural vivac-
ity for offensiveness, knocked him over a
couple OF trunks and Town the stairs.
In a m up rushed the proprietor.
Mon Dieu, monsieur" he cried. you

surprised answer. "Oh, well, charge him

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT.

The only significance which the death
Of the Duke OF Clarence possesses is in
so far as il may possibly affect the undis-
turbed succession to the British crown.
The Duke of Clarence was the eldest son
of the Prince Of Wales, the heir APP
parent to the crown. He was to have
been married in February aud had he
lived the succession from his grandmother
to his father and from his father to him
self could have been effected without the
possibility Of a jar. II is a significant
fact that the death is keenly felt and
there is pretense OF mourning only among
the aristocratic classes, They are deeply
Interested in the matter OF succession and
the question of who comes to the throne
as well as his probable advisers Is OF vast
consequence to them.
The masses of the people received the
news with stolid Indifference. Delegates
tn the Miners Federation, representing a
membership of DOC, 900, were In session
yesterday. They declined to send a mes
a1kt ~ COnlOituCe ~ Tic uutcu duu EuR-
land Is startled by this manifest tendency
toward democracy in the lower classes. The
miners did not consider the death of the
weak and effeminate priuceling as a ma
uona calamity or an event which in the
remotest degree affected the humanitar-
ian purposes which they have at heart.
Feeling this way, unlike hundreds of their
alleged superiors, they would not stultifY
themselves by a p~retense Of grief which
they did not feel.
The death of the duke has served to
show the slender hold which the throne
has on the support Of the plain people,
but the ruling classes OF England are SC
strongly intrenched that the figure head
of royalty may nevertheless be maintained
for many years to come.

The late Horace Leland, who for many
years kept the Leland hotel at Spring
field, Ills, was a generous nan and Is
lover of children. One day he and John
A. G, Andrews, then speaker of the
Illinois house Of representatives, were
walking u together, when they met q
man with a cluster of toy balloons.
School was just out, and hundreds of
boys and girls came pouring from u
building near at hand.
"Hold on, Ace" said Mr.. Leland,
there's a joyous sight" and the two
stopped and watched the children all
gazing with longing eyes at the balloons.
Ell cent apiece"
How much for the lot?'' asked thu
philanthropist.
The man counted them. There were
twenty-one.
Zone doll for the lot"
Mr.. Leland took them all and dis
tributed them among the children with
as much fairness as possible. Then he
put his hand into his pocket and said, 81
declare, Ace, l haven't n cent with me.
Lend me a dollar"
"Oh, no." said Judge Andrews seri-
ously, "you can't play philanthropist at
my expense"
"Well, my man" said Mr.. Leland, al
guess you'll have to call at my hotel for
your money"
mo, sir" said the man; you give me
my money or you give me back my
balloons"
but don't you see l can do neither?
Come to the Leland House and ask for
Mr.. Leland, and | will pay you"
"No, sir" persisted the man, "you pay
me my money or give me back my
balloons. ! hat see dat hotel trick be-
fore"
Come, Ace" said Mr.. Leland from
the depths of his troubled soul, ''give me
n dollar"
Mot a cent" said the judge with as
sumed gravity, 81 wouldn't trust yoa
with a dime"
See" said the man, 'your own friend
no will trust you. You give me my
money or l will call de policeman"
Just then there happened along an old
beggar woman who had lived upon the
bounty Of the good people of Springfield
for many n year. She stopped and heard
enougho of the conversation to know what
it was about.
"Hould on, Misther Layland," said
she; 'if yer foine friend there won'tlavs
ye loan av a dollar, Dim the friend that
will" and as she lectured Judge An
drews for the ''stingiest ould thing out
O. JAIL" she unrolled the money from q
dirty rag and gave it to the philanthro-
pist.
Judge Andrews says he never tried to
play just that kind of a joke on Horace
Leland again.-New York Tribune.
