dealer OF collection Of etchings execut-
ed by the queen. The dealer in question
purchased mt the sale Of books and pic
lures of the late Earl Of Charemont two
old portfolios. They were knocked down
for few shillings as containing only
unfinished sketches Of no value and cut
tings from illustrated papers When the
dealer enptied the contents OF one of the
portfolios carelessly on the floor in his
room he came upon something hard ut
the bottom which turned ont 10 be n
packet Of etchings by the queen. They
bore, in writing which has been recog.
nized as ut any rate very like the writ
ing of her majesty, the inscriptions
"Drawn by Albert--etched by Victoria
Presented to Lady Charlemont by Vic
toria."
The etchings were no doubt given 10
the Countess Of Churlemont as % menento
of the queens visit to ireland. There are
q number Of tho etchings. and they are
mostly done on small sheets Of paper

How no Slept.

ally see one or two and stay at home.
Day before yesterday we had country
dude stopping with us over night. He
had on store clothes and blue necktie,
and what he didn't know wasn't worth
knowing. When he started up to his
room at night | told him there was a
folding bed In 1t, and il he wished the
bell boy would show him how it worked.
But not much; he didn't want to be
shown anything. He knew thing or
two about the city, he did, even if he did
live in the country. SO let him go, and
next morning he paid his bill without o
word and went away.
About noon happened to be on that
floor, and chambermaid called me to
take look in his room. And what a
sight met my eyes! The bottom drawer
Of the bureau was pulled out as far as
it would come, and in 1t were all the
rugs in the room. with towel spread
over one end for pillow. Evidently he
had tried to sleep there, for pinned up
on the glass was a sarcastic little legend
reading:
"'Gol dern yore foldin beds! Why
don't you make 'em longer and put more
kivvers onto um? Mebbe you expect o
man to stand up and sleep in your burned
old cubberd.'"
The drummer laughed.
"The burned old cubberd,'" resumed
the clerk, was one Of our best ward
robe folding beds" And then they both
laughed. Free Press.
