incorporate Habits and a Surgeons BIun
der Caused His Death.
Richard Ceur de Lion. who boi
passed through SO many eXtraordi
nary perils, met with his death
wound at an unsupported moment
and from an obscure enemy. 1t was
April 6, 1899. The pope's legate had
nearly accomplished a treaty of peace
between the rival monarchs of France
and England, and Richard was think
ing OF returning home when he heard
that n Of his vassals, the Viscount
OF Limoges, had found a treasure on
his estate. AS superior lord he claim
ed the whole of it, but the finder was
only willing to give him part. The
king, therefore, besieged him in his
castle Of Chalus, and though the gar.
rison offered to surrender, he said as
he had taken the trouble to begin he
would finish by force and hang every
one of them. The same day as he
was surveying the walls one Ber-
trand de GOurdon, an expert archer.

shoulder.
The kings Incorporate habits and
the unskillfulness of the
caused the wound to mortify, and he
became sensible that his end ap-
preached. The castle was taken
while he lay i'll and all the men
hanged except Gourdon. Sending for
him to- into his presence, the king
demanded why he had sought his life.
The archer replied: you killed with
your W hands my father and my
two brothers, and you intended to
have hanged me. You may take re-
venge by torturing me as you will. /
shall die rejoicing that I have freed
the world from such a nuisance"
Admiring ever in death boldness
OF spirit which sc few possessed in
the same degree as himself, Richard
ordered that Gourdon should be dis
missed with the gift of 100 shillings,
but he had no sooner expired than
the man was t1ayed alive. -Spare

h Knew What she Was About,
Prolonged railway travelling is so tedious
to most people that any little diversion is
welcomed and made the most of. An in.
stance of such a sort is an absentmipded
performance on the part O? an elderly lady,
which must have beguiled at least half an
hour for the other passengers. The day
was warm and dusty, and she was seized
with thirst. At one end of the car was a
water cooler, and to it the lady went.
She took the cup in her hand, turned the
faucet and stood waiting. The ice water
filled the catch pan and ran over and soon
was cooling the crossties. Still the woman
stood holding the empty cup. Finally a
trainman stepped up to her.
Lady" said he not impolitely, do you
know what you are doing9"
"Mep Certainly I do"

ignorance.

Ihave gathered from her letters
That she struck q favored cline,
And my light and loving letters
Vex her little at this time.
And l know-I've partly guessed it
She's a raging, tearing belle
Fol- she has not quite confessed it
And the life of that hotel!
And l feel safe in asserting
She is having royal sport,
Dancing, riding, sailing, flirting,
Posing OF the tennis court.
And she's met a new adorer,
With more wealth than l can boast.
His attentions do not bore her,
Fol- she's got him cold on toast!'
But, as l forgive my debtors,
l forgive her-I'm no Ounce!
This I've gathered from her letters,
For she hasn't written once!

The Lawn Mower.

Go get the old lawn mower out
And polish off the rust.
Put oil In all the little holes,
And clean out all the dust.
DO all you can to soften down
That irritating click,
And sharpen UP the cutting knives
You'll need it pretty quick.
The emerald whiskers on your lawn
Will soon be getting long,
The exercise of trimming them
Will make your muscles strong.
So get the old lawn mower out
But make this little men,,
Don't ever try to cut your a

Medicines In China,

In China tigers bones are given to
the weakan debilitated as a strength

not afford such a expensive luxury

Surprising.

Yankee exaggeration is a trick that works
both ways. It is most amusing perhaps
when it takes the form of understatement.
An old lady was alone in a very old house
when the walls suddenly collapsed, and the
house came tumbling down around her.
Her escape was little short of a miracle,
but she was taken from the ruins entirely
uninJured. When asked what her sensa-
lions were when the house fell, she said:

The Fun That Adam Missed,
That Adam was a lonely man
I'm ready to believe,
Although his many days were blest
With natures fairest Eve.
by maiden aunts and cousins fair
The man was never kissed,
And thus | often think about
The fun that Adam missed.
1t seems to me his life was like
An oft repeated dream.
He eve treated girls and paid
Three dollars for ice cream;
He never, when a little boy,
BY grownup girls was kissed,
And when he died he V knew
The fun that he had missed.
lie never went security
And had the note to pay;
He never saw his banks cashier
Steal gracefully away
In all his life he never by
A mother-in-law was kissed
But why go on and 'numerate
The fun that Adam missed?
Perhaps if he was living now
But, then, why speculate?
He'd be too old and not inclined
To play with tickle fate.
For centuries the wanton winds
His unknown grave have kissed.
Perhaps he sleeps the better for
The fun that he has missed.
