SANG FOR HIS LIFE.

Tho Disagreeable Alternative Frederick
Augustus Presented to Musician Abel.
John Abel, IL celebrated singer and
musician who lived in the reign of
Charles Ii. had very great notion of
himself and would not perform unless
he pleased. There is Il funny story told
of how he was once made to sing against
his will.
While travelling abroad for pleasure
be came into the town of Warsaw. News
was brought to the palace of the famous
English singers arrival. and Frederick
Augustus, the king of Poland, immedi-
ately sent word that he desired Abel to
sppcar before him.
Tell his majesty" replied John curt
ly, 'that it suits me not"
Back Went the court messenger with n
wry face. He knew his masters temper
too we'll.
"Tell Master Abel" Numbered the
king, chat 1 will have him comet And
take you, boy, three stout fellows with
you"
The messenger and the three stout fell
lows between them managed to carry
out the royal wish and presently march
ed triumphantly up to the palace with
their unwilling captive.
The king was awaiting them in the
great hall, where he had seated himself
In balcony that ran all round the sides.
Above him an immense chair hung from
the roof by a rope.
Nov, then, into the chair and up with
him." cried Frederick Augustus, with a
chuckle. "Well soon see if our song
bird won't sing in his cage. Up with
him, my merry men ALL"
And up in the air swung Abel, who
still refused to open his mouth. When he
gave a glance downward, however, he
changed hismind. Into the hall beneath
him number of wild bears had been
turned loose.
Sing, sirrah" the king shouted 'or
down you go to play with my brown ba-
bies"
One look Mt those "brown babies"
growing and snarling below in very
unbabylike manner, was sutlicicnt to con-
vince the stubborn John. Sing he did.

days that he never sang so well in his
life as when he was hanging there, IL nun

where there was only one other lawyer
an aged judge.
A close listed old fellow, thinking to get
legal advice for nothing, called upon the
young man and contrivcd in Il sort of
neighborly way to get some legal Ques-
tons answered. Then, thanking the
young man, he WAS about to leave. when
the Young man asked for s. fee The
old fellow went into violent passion
and sworc he never would pay. The
young lawyer told him he would sue him.
So the old fellow went down to see the
judge and said:
"That young scamp that's just come

borly call ON him. and he charges me 81
for legal advice"
Served you right" said the judge.
"But have got to pay it, judger"

must" and he started off.
Hold on" said the judge, aren't you
going 10 pay me-

"For legal advice"
"What do you charger

The result was that the old fellow had

not write an ordinary letter without
turning to the dictionary three or four

The Largest Cities of Antiquity,

The greatest cities Of ancient tilncs,
were Babylon and Rome The former
is said TO have had an area of 100 TO 200
square miles. Its houses were three or
four stories high, but palaces and gar
dcns occupied much of the vast area, SO
that the population was not what these
hSures would seem toindicate. In fact
1t is SAID by one historian that nine
tenths of this area were taken up by gar
dens and orchards. The total popula-
ton of the city under Nebuchadnezzar
and his son Evil Merodach is estimated
at upward of 100000. Rome reached
its greatest size during the fourth cen
tury OF our era, and its population was
then about 100000. Western Mail

WEALTH CANNOT BUY THEM.
Mrs. Lynn Linton Enumerates n Few OF
Lifo's Unpurchasables

Mrs. Lynn Linton Enumerates n Few OF
Lifos Unpurchasablcs.
When Mrs. Lynn Linton forgets to DO
original and radical, she is capable of
saying some fairly pleasant things. The
idea that many things of value cannot
be bought, and that those things which
can be bought are only of secondary i'm
portance in the world, is not strikingly
new. Two or three people had hit upon
1t before Mrs. Linton. But what she
says about the unpurchasable things is
not the less interesting and timely be-
cause they have been said ever since the
deluge.
There is happiness, she tells us, that
gold may not buy when the woman
you love deceives you, and the portrait
gem clasped' worn over her heart shows
another face than yours-when tho hus-
band you were unconventional enough
to love In the fearless old fashion lies
dead in your arms, and your whole fu-
ture is darkened and storm riven-when

your carriages and horses do for Won
when your favorite daughter runs off
with the groom, and her sister browns
herself in despair? No! Happiness is
not to be bought"
Then there are love and honor and
youth that the gold of the Indies will
not purchase. And in these days when
creams and lotions, dietings and exercises
claim to put off the evil hour of age
1T is we'll to read what this very level
headed woman says about youth.
You may buy fashion cosmetics" She
says, "artful enhanccments, subtle DIVES
