ONE KINGS CouRTsHIPs.
The Ruler OF AMMAN and Hi, Numerous
Sweethearts.


Sweethearts.
An Oriental dispatch casually men
tions the fact that the king of AMMAN
has at present $40 wives. Consider for
a moment what this statement entails.
CHANGING back for few years in the
life of the king it is evident that at one
time, not long past, Annam's ruler
must have had $40 sweethearts.
If he had visited each one a whole
evening it would have been impossible
to have gone through the list in year.
Now. no sclf-respecting girl will be
satisfied with a lover who calls once n
wear. Twice a week is good aver
age. On this basis let us do little fig
uring.
The king of AMMAN visited $40 girls
twice a week. That would be LIS
visits a week. or counting Sundays,
los visits a night To anyone who
knows how hard IL is TO tear himself
away from the front gate, under the
circumstances in which AMMAN must
have found himself, the terrible wear
on the kings constitution is evident at
a glance. Besides keeping on the jump
to cover the 165 appointments, there
were on each evening los cases of mem
tai anguish occasioned by the tearing
himself away" process.
Suppose, next, that AMMAN said to
each girl: Il love you, dearest. You
are the lovcliest woman in the world"
Suppose. if you can, that he said this
only; that is twelve words to each
woman. or 1880 words each evening,
that is about two columns of type, sucA
as this paper is printed in.
Again. if each of the $40 papas kept
bulldogs, as all self-respecting papas
are supposed by humorous writers to
do, there were 165 bulldogs per night
TO be guarded against. Blade.

lands hundreds of pension vetoes while
president, accompanied by venomous
veto me ssages stigmatiz 'ng the intended
benefciaries of the bills as unworthy,
the ex-soldiers of the I'm ted States are
not inclined to put much faith in the
platitudes he has set down in that por
ton of his letter of acceptance which
deals with the subject of pensions, es.
pecially as a careful reading will show
that in every important statement he
makes he has been careful to insert
some qualifying or limiting words.
Thus he SAYS that ''all patriotic and
Just citizens must commend liberal
consideration for orr worthy veteran
soldiers" The word worthy" here
limits, and leaves the unavoidable in
ference that he considers there are
unworthy veterans. lie says that
mo complaint" should be made about
what is paid ito those actually disabled
or made dependent by army service"
Here the limiting word actually" con
fines the statement to those injured
while in service. That is the plain
English of IT, When he says flat the
pension roll SHOULD be a roll of honor
uncontaminated by i'll desert" the
plain inference is that the present pen
sion roll is contaminated by bearing
the names of those who do not deserve
pensions. And in his closing sentence
on this subject speaking of the en-
ployment of soldiers in the public serv
ice, he used the limiting words capable
and worthy" as though there were ex.
soldiers in government positions who
are not capable and worthy"
1t will thus be seen that the glitter
ing generalities of his deliverance upon
pensions are so hedged by limitations
as to be applicable to very small
portion of the old soldiers. If pensions
are to he confined to only those who
were disabled in active service. then
no dependent pensions can be given.
And it is gratuitous insult to insinu-
ate that the country is full of ''un-
worthy" veterans. The patriotic peo
pie of this country are not in the habit
drawing this discrimination when they
refer to the old soldiers. Unworthy
ones there may be, but they are so few
that it is neither kind nor Just to draw
an unnecessary line with so muct
painstalling care. 1t Is of a piece with

TOO SLIPPERY.

Pirates Given a smooth Reception by a
shrewd Sea Captain.
Sea captains have many adventures,
and the stories of their wonderful es-
capes seldom lose bv repetition. Many
years ago pirates crniscd up and down
the English channel. To the great peril
of the merchantmen. The story Is told
of a Capt Davis, who was noted for his
quick wit as well as for his skill in
navigation, that he was returning from
ireland with cargo consisting mainly
of butter.
He had not been out very long when
a pirate was seen coming down upon
him. In vain all sails were spread;
every moment brought the pirate
nearer.
The men were at their wits ends,
but the capita AIN knew a trick or two.
He ordered his men to take off their
boots and stockings, and directed that
a score of butter barrels be brought on
deck.
In a few minutes the barrels had
been knocked to pieces, and the butter
was thiclxly spread all over the deck
and outside the ship. Not a rope nor a
spar that was not slippery. Even with
out their boots and stockings the sail
ors could scarcely keep on their legs.
On came the pirate. not dreaming
how smoothly he was to be received.
Capt. Davis assumed an air of submits
sion and allowed the enemy TO come
alongside quietly.
But 10! when they jumped over, fully
armed. with pistol in one hand and
sword in the other, they slipped about
and tumbled over each other on the
buttered deck like so many rats.
One fellow shot head foremost down
into the cabin, where he was immedi-
ately set upon by the boy; another slid
across the deck and shot out into the
sea by an opposite portfolio.
Not one of them could stand on his
feet; and, as pirates are generally SUI
perstitiOus, an idea seized them that
the ship was possessed of the evil one.
They hurried back into their own yes
sci, cast loose, and Capt. Davis got
safely into port at the expense of a
few barrels of butter.-Yanxee Blade.

the incline. The old fellow ratified again
and again, and as fast as he gave the
call others crept up and took a shoot
down the slide. By that time the first
bunch Of snakes had craw led back up
the cliff and onto the stone and down
they shot. thus formi n perfect Inc

looked ON until he, too. became en-
Unused with the fun Of the thing, and
off he went like the others over the
creased incline. In the course Of an
hour the stone from the effects of the
SIMS rays ami the friction of the
snakes bodies, became so hot that it
smoked as the writhing reptiles shot
over its face. while the once rusty
looking bodies of the snakes began to

bodies turned into oil and melted ont of

While all this was going on the
crowd below stood gaping and uttering
CALCULATIONS of astonishmeut. But the
mephitic smell caused by the presence
and excitement OF so many snakes soon
forced the crowd to retire. which they
did to a hillside opposite, where, several
hundred Yards away and under the
shade OF the trees, they sat and watched
the circus.

The Only Reliable Way of Securing .
Vigorous, Thrifty Growth.
In order to secure a vigorous, thrifty
growth with trees, a rich soil is very
essential; you can as easily starve trees
as you can a crop, and the results will
be as unsatisfactory. If the soil is not
reasonably rich naturally. it will pay &c
make it so by the application of fertiiiz.
ers in some form. Wood ashes make a
good fertilizer for trees; because they
return to the soil all of the elements OF
plant food needed by the trees for
growth. a good plan for applying is
To scatter evenly around tie trees, and
then to work thoroughly into the sur.
face. During the winter is a good time
to apply manure to trees of all kinds
and there is usually more time that car
be spared to do the work, and "a better
supply of manure can thus be secured.
Broadcast manure Is nearly always the
best: the roots of the trees extend out
as far in the ground as the tops above,
and better results will nearly always
be secured. The manure can be APP.

ing pains of course, to distribute as
evenly as possible If left during the
winter it will act to some extent as d
mulch, and the rain and snow, with
the freezing and thawing, will carry
the solvable parts into the soil. There
is little danger of getting the soil toe
rich, so that generally it will be safe to
apply all that can be spared. -orna
