Romplns Game. a. tn. rull.r,...

The emperor and empress were ex'
ceedingly hospitable and kind hosts
anxious to amuse their guests; but for
this purpose, unfortunately, rompine
games were often chosen, which, though
certainly undignified and ill-suited to
those beyond school years had not
however, the character attributed to
them by public report, nor the licen-
tious freedom believed in by the Eau
bourg st. German, and contemptuously
sneered at by it's aristocratic inhabi-
tants. The mistake lay in doing on a
large scale what ought to be tolerated
ouIy among intimate friends and very
young people. But the mean ingrati-
tude of those who enjoyed all the gen.
erous kindness lavished on their guests
by the imperial hosts, and then dis
figured the truth to sneer Mt them with
their enemies, was too contemplate to
be even mentioned with patience

Z RARE DOLLARS OF ,aol


ne Die Was Msds But Nens We're
n Coined TIN the Tear isss.
Twas talking TO a well-known numis-
matte the other day about the dollar of
1904, for good specimens of which such
fabulous prices are paid by collectors,
and he gave me some interesting infor-
nation, says Washington correspon-
dent OF the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser. The reason the dollars of 1904
nre SO. scarce Is that none were coined
that year. there being an excess of coins
Of that denomination in circulation.
In 1903, as is always done, the dies were
made for the succeeding year, but none
were coined until 1886. when Director
Pollock of the mint found the old die
of 1904 ut Philadelphia, and in order
to complete his own collection offered
to exchange with numismatics. How
many were struck of is not known,
but one of these belonging to ex-
Director Lindeman was sold at auction
in New York for S470. Upon the early
dollars coined around the rim of the
coin was cut the words: "Unit, one
hundred cents" This is termed the
"collar" by numismatics, and there is
no collar upon these restrikes. Hence,
II Is useless to look among the old dol
lars that were in circulation for one
bearing the date of 1904.

IN DEADLY COMBAT.
wapiti and the Red Deer In Central Park
Fight Duel

wapiti and the Red Deer In Central Park
Fight Duel
War was proclaimed In Central park.
The wapiti and the red deer bucks were
spelling for fight. 1t is a way they
have at this season of the year. says the
New York Recorder, and in the forests
many duel to the death is fought, with
no seconds standing by. and with no
human or other appreciative eye to wit
ness the valor displayed.
For the past few days the wapiti and
the biggest of the red deer bucks have
glared at each other across the barbed
wire fence which separates them. Then
they began charging at each other. and
their antlers came together with many
resounding crash. After much ma
neuvering Keeper Snyder got rope
over the horns of Mr.. Wapiti, but the
buck did not mind it in the least. Then
dozen keepers got hold of the lariat,
and with great difficulty forced the
wapiti away from his painting rival, and
he was put into paddock where there
were only young fellow bucks whose
antlers had scarcely begun to sprout
and whom. of course. he would not con-
descend TO attack.
The blood of the red stag. however,
seemed boiling. and having no longer a
foeman worthy of his horns he chased
and prodded the poor ladies of his
harem. The keepers. at the risk OF
their lives. sawed off his antlers and
his martial spirit seems to be knocked
out of him forever.

The rahlin Arre.tsd.

Herr Waltersdorf, the German man
ager and actor. one Sunday in the win
ter left the Stadt theater and drove to
his little playhouse, .Auf den Hausen,"
outside the town. The play announced
on the bills was "Kabale and Liebe."
The audience consisted of one solitary
person. Nevertheless, Waltersdorf in
sisted on beginning the play, TO the cha
grin of his company who expected
that the empty playhouse meant a
holiday for the actors. They took the
widest liberty with the text, and
scarcely a word reached the audience.
1hereupon the solitary audience stood
up and demanded that the play should
be duly rendered according TO the play
bill. ARREST the publicl" said the grim
manager to a policeman, who lurkcd he

seized the audience, saying; II arrest
you for disturbing the course of pub
lie entertainment" The whole public
was then marched off to the watch
house. and the play came to an end.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshield, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been .
sufferer from a scrofulous affection Of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, H., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
/ would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
