4 Good Story.

A good story is going the rounds relative
to the experiences Of the first minister to
Persia, which in view of the facts that Mr..
Alexander Mcdonald, of Lynchburg, will
shortly sail in this capacity, may well be
told The name of the minister was Mr..
Benjamin, and his heart beat high as he
turned his head from the western empire to
greet the rising sun in the spice laden air Of
the Orient. In his calm hours upon the
wide expanse of wsters he dreams of the
land of Ormuzd and dark Ahriman, the
home of Zoroaster. the Fire Worshipper,
and Nadly Shah. At length the clear WA
ters of the Caspian sea reflect the simmer
ing crescent, and through the soft night he
feels the incensed. burdened air fan his
fevered cheek as The vessel gently rocks at
anchor as softly rs cradle, the lullaby the
subtle music that the ripple make under
the star-lit skies The morning broke and
Benjamin beheld the wonders Of q new
world. There was the caravan awaiting
him.
The richly clad aud jewe-bedecked cour-
tiers, silver and gold caparisoned Arab
steeds, the white elephants and the drome-
daries, and there, too, the Shah to greet him
and welcome him to the land OF the houri
and peri.
The journey was continued several. days.
and the old Shah put up some very good
stories aud gave Benjamin few pointers
on social life and made few instructions
without even Falladeen TO interrupt the
quie; enjoyment OF the trip. At last Ben
iamn reached his quarters, and, after siz-
lug up the whole journey and the general
outlook, thought he had struck soft snap
and made up his mind that it would suit
him better than life at Quanlico or Bermu-
da Hundreds.
But Benjamin was not posted on the cus-
toms of that country, and in less than two
days he was confronted with a bill for
$500 for the ponp aud splendor of his
journey. His salary was SC, 900 per annurn.
BENJAMIN was broke, and he knew the
Shah was dangerous man when bills are
not paid on sight, so he hustled around and
wired his country, and that bill was allow
ed him by his government, but all the min
listers are now warned to exercise Jefferson
ian simplicity. and on the back of donkey,
with one attendant, the four hundred miles
are now usually travelled:

A Baltimore schoolgirl, the daughter
of a prominent lawyer, and several Of her
little friends put their mischieyous heads
together a. the time Of Paderewski's last
visit 10 Baltimore and resolved to make
call on the great pianist. They journey
ed TO his hotel and demanded to see the
artist, the young ringleader declaring
that she would go up TO his room and
knock at the door if she couldn't reach
him in any other way. The man who
has taken two continents by storm with
his skill good-naturedly consented to see
his youthful callers, and chatted pleas
antly with them. Music happened to
crop up as a subject Of conversation. the
great pianist asked the girls if they could
play on the piano. The one who had
been the leading spirit throughout the af-
fair quickly responded in the affirmative,
and upon the musicians requesting her
to play for him she walked TO the piano
without the slightest show Of hesitation
and favored Paderewski, the great, with
Maggie Murpby's Home" Paderewski,
with twinkling eyes, expressed his pleas
ure at the performance, and in return in
formed his new friends that he would
play for them if they liked. They did
like, and the host played as only he can.
"Why didn't you play Ta-ra-ra Boom

her visit. "Ob,' was the quick response,

met man in Broadway the other day
whom remembered as the steward in one
of the large hotels in San Francisco half
dozen years or more ago, says the New
York Herald. He was seedy in appearance
and down at the heel generally. When j
last saw him he was prosperous, reported to
have laid by snug sum, and his face wore
an air Of contentment.
He told ME one day before left the slope
that he was going out of the hotel business,
and proposed to make fortune.
"You see" he said confdentially at the
time, "I've been thinking that there's a
chance for me to make fortune. I've not
been chef for dozen years in one OF the
biggest hotels in California for nothing 1t
has occurred to me that if ordinary ducks or
even wild geese were fed almost entirely
upon celery, their flesh would become ten
der and partake Of that peculiar flavor com
mon to the canvusback. Now | propose to

quaintance and of the big duck farm, and

enterprise.

Didn't it pan out ?"

sickly smile crept into his face.

didn't. II was just this way. | rented

Departed This Life.

AS the statement made in last Fri
days issue concerning the death of
Mrs. Pomeroy was in some particulars
incorrect, we append the following:
She was accompanied by Miss Jessie
Mcdonald to st. Peters hospital three
weeks ago. Frustrated by pneumonia,
OF which disease she died last Thursday
morning. at 10 o'clock. She came
from Shelton, where she had been
living for the past year with the fam.
lily of Thomas O'Neil, who have only
words Of praise to bestow on her kind
ness OF heart and loving disposition.
Her last moments were witnessed by
her husband and only relative-a sis.
ter-a resident of Mason county. Her
remains were taken in charge and
buried by her husband, who deeply
mourns his loss. She was the daugh-
ter of an old-time steamboat man,
Capt. John Cosgrove, and was born in
Port Madison, 81 years ago. She has
left no children to weep, as they went
before. She was buried last Sunday
in the Odd Fellows cemetery at Shell
ton. The funeral was largely attended
and the sermon preached on the occa-
sion most impressive. - The burial took
place between the hours of IL and l
o'clock. Services were held in the
Shelton Baptist church.

BE FAIR.-It has been suggested
that if the Olympidm- Tribune persists
in criticising the course of the Presi-
dent, that it have the common hon.
esty to publish such state papers as
emanate from the Chief Executive.
Neither OF the Presidents messages
have been published by our contempt
rary, while it persists in waging mos
quito warfare upon one it evidently
considers a natural foe, and therefore
to be opposed with or without reason.
This course can only be successfully
pursued under the hypothesis that its
readers are all fools, which is by no
means probable. Come. neighbor, be
