A Royal Critics BIunder.

A strange story, illustrating the dan gers of too frank artistic criticism on the part of royalty, is told by the Copen- hagen journals. King Oscar of Sweden, who is not in the best odor in the Nor- wegian capital just at present. recently visited the annual art exhibition in Christiania, accompanied by the crown prince. The visitors were conducted through the galleries by MT. Holmboe, d member of the committee and him. self painter. On pausing before cer- tain canvas the crown prince remarked that it was fearful" composition. The king, after stepping to discover the artists name, presently ejaculated with smile: Why, the man must be mad. '" The picture was by Holmboe himself, but neither of the royal visitors was awarp that it was he who was showing them round. The artist felt much of tended, and afterwards declared that he intended to demand an apology. He was prevailed on by the kings adiu- tants, however, to say nothing, in or der not to embarrass his royal critics. The sequel is reported to have taken place at banquet given in connection with the Norwegian Artists associa- tion, held on the same evening, when the president announced, amidst ap- plause, that instead of proposing King Oscars health as usual he would give that of MT. boe.-Westminster Ca zette.

An Injudicious Clerk.

A prominent young photographer of Boston hired a young man who, he. thought, would make an affable assis-. tant. The clientele of the house was among the smart set. A well-known resident of Beacon street was in cores pondence with the firm about some cab- inets. He was blest with superfiuous flesh. His weight was on the average of 300 pounds. He was bashful about his avoirdupois, wanted the utmost secrecy in taking his picture, and as hs said in his letter, ''he didn't want to be looked upon as rare animal"
 An engagement was made and the date set. When the customer called he was met at the door by the new saIesi man.
 Loud noises, cries of you're crazy" "I'm insulted" were heard by the pro- prietor. Running out he saw the fat man leaving the room. The latter's face was white with rage. His huge bulk moved with graceless haste down the stairs. What's the matter?" yelled the boss at his new employe.
 Nothing"
 Nothing. What did you say to him?'
 "I only ask him if he came to sit for a groupe. ."-Boston Post.

Habits of the Nile Crocodile worshipsA
 as a God

daDtts or the Nile CrOcOdile-WOrshtDG
 . God.
 As songster the crocodile is not to be compared to the bulbul, but he can, without any exertion, hold his own in that respect with the bull. Like the latter he bellows, but, unlike him, ke bellows at night, whereas the bull on.y bellows during the day, except when he IS badly scared. With these exceptions there is nothing in common between the crocodile and either the bulbul or the bull. There is no definite informa- tion to be obtained regarding the ex- act lines upon which the first crocodile was built. It is maintained by those who have devoted a lifetime to a study of his interior that the traces of dia- phragm which are to be found in him to-day show that his organization must have at one time borne some resem- blance to that of warm-blooded ami mals.
 There is little in the animal kingdom that can look so dead and be so much alive as a crocodile. The number of unsuspecting persons who have mis- taken him for log and have failed to discover their mistake until it was too late to be of any benefit to them will never be known. In ancient times, several years prior to the British occu- patton of Egypt, some of the people of that country worshiped the crocodile as god, there being nothing else like him. They fed him on dainties and logged him out with jewels In other nf h. looked upon him as a devil Having no firearms, they did not fill him with lead, but they managed to immolatel him successfully with such weapons as were fashionable at the time.
 The crocodile is not so numerous in the Nile as he was in the days of the Rameses family; in fact, he rather shuns the river now below the second cataract on account of the annoyances inseparable from tourist traffic. It seems impossible for a tourist to see crocodile without trying to plug him with revalver, and to a reptile that is fond of a quiet life this sort of thing is simply insufferable. He will not me- lest man unless he can take him at disadvantage, and so long as man does not, unthinkingly, step on him, the crocodile will go his way and calmly await his opportunity.
 His methods of capturing large game are plural as well as singular. Some times he will lie on river bank, partly covered with sand or mud, until an absent-minded native wanders within reach. Having grabbed his prey he will waddle into the water and there drown the struggler. He will then drag his victim ashore and bury him in sand or mud and wait for days before he gorges himself.
 His fayorite plan of providing food for himself in the water is to depress his head and tail and float withthe cur rent. While performing this act he looks like an old, blackened log Though he is perfectly happy on lanG. and spends much of his time there, he can stay under water long time and kill while under water without suffer. ing any nconvenience.-Chica News.

sleep was in her blue eyes.
 II am 30 glad you have come. dear" she went on. "I had gone to bed hd was asleep, but l heard the telephone and fancied it must be you. I an. SO glad to see you, you sweet old papa, you" She had crossed the room and was kneeling beside him, her white arms about his neck.
 Derwent fancied he heard a click of the pistol and looked up sharply But Scott threw newspaper over his left hand and coughed softly behind his palm.
 "Oh. beg your pardon. father" said the girl, springing to her feet. Il thought you were alone"
 There was not even glance at Scott as she turned and left the room.
 Derwent uttered a stified cry as the door closed "Luciei"
 But Scott had sprung to his feet. At your peril" he said, jamming tl,e p;s- tol under Derwent's nose.
 Your daughter, suppose ?" he went on.
 Yes, Derwent murmured.
 How old is she?"
 Eighteen years"
 Then she knows nothing of your dirty past?''
 Nothing"
 And believes in you?'
 Yes" and the man groaned.
 Then, God help her." said Scott, fervently.
 The heavy tread of the policeman was heard mounting the stone steps. Scott hesitated moment; then, whip ping the pistol into his pocket, he snatched the closely written sheets from the table and tore them into shreds
 So my game is ended" he said, with laugh. as he stuffed the torn bits into the blazing grate. "Open the door and let the man in.''
 Derwent hesitated. ''Coward!" said Scott, between his teeth, but he open.d the door himself.
 The big policeman looked from one to the other in amazement. You, sir?" he said, staring at Scott. They wero friends in queer sort of way. IcSs hlhc, oCOtt dHSWPTeQ.

What is to be the charger" asked Mike, turning to Derwent with no very good grace. The man was silent. He still sat covering in his chair, dazed and help- less.
 "Oh, the gentleman will no doubt bs on hand to prefer charges in the morn- ing" interposed Scott, with a laugh. Lets go, Mike" What horrid wretch that was," said Lucie, coming from the back of tht, hall and putting her arm through her fathers when the door closed. "Wh1t did he want of you, dear?"
 Money, of course, child," answered her father, hoarsely.
 "Well, I'm glad you telephoned for a policeman to take him away if he was troubling you" A man was reported dead at police station No. 10 the next morning. Thom- as Derwent went into the little, whitc- washed, smoke-stained room and stood moment looking into the pinched face of the dead man whose lips were closed forever. Then, buttoning up his fur lined overcoat, he went out again, breathing freely.-Philadelph Timca.

FINAL DAY OF THE SHOOT  The Scores Were Better, But Not Record Breakers. THE PROGRAMME EVENTS 
  A. S. Smith of Greenville, Miss, Broke 54 Out of 55-The Next Associa-
 ton Tournaments.

The second day of the interstate tour nament was in every way as successful as the first. There were possibly fewer entries, but the vim and fervor displayed by the contestants made -'upfor the ab- sence of those not present who partici- pated on the first day, though the purses were not quite so large. But that is a small matter to those who love to shoot. The Birmingham Gun club has made record in this, its initiatory, shoot that places it well up in the line of progressive gun clubs. Its officers and, in fact, the entire club acted and shot as only true sportsmen know how.s The scores made were not especially good, though some excellent shooting was done. Particulars ly may this be. said of Messrs Baugh, Smith and Ford.
 A vote of thankswas due and rendered by the entire aggregation of shooting stars to MT. E. c. Ferriday of Nashville, the official scorer who. though new at the business. developed degree of accu- racy and skill which few could equal

NEW YORK BISCUIT COMPANY.
Reorganization Effected by Election
of New Directors.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-The management of
the New York Biscuit Company was re-
organized to-day. The directors of the COM
pany met in the afternoon and accepted
the resignation of George T. Smith, J. HI.
Moore and George p. Johnston as direc-
tors. Two of the three vacancies thus Gre
ated were filed by the election Of George
H. Webster and James d. Mason, as direc-
tors. The third vacancy, that caused by
the resignation of ]. H. Moore, will be filled
later by the election of a director to rep
resent the interest of George NJ. Pullman.
The board also accepted the resignation
of j. II. Moore as second vice president
and of George p Johnston treasurer.
G. H. Webster was elected treasurer in
Mr.. JOhnSonS place.
Mr.. Webster. the new director and treas
urer, was formerly of Armour & Co., and
he goes into the management TO represent
the interests of p. D. Armour. Mr.. Pull
man will ultimately have representative
on the board when the place of j. II. Moore
is filled. Mr.. Mason is biscuit man OF
Baltimore, connected with the Mason bak-
cries of that city. which the New York Bis
cult Company recently absorbed.
The reorganization of the management of
the Diamond Match Company is awaiting
interests still hope to induce to become a
director. When the proposition was

is said. he is not quite so determined in
his opposition, and hopes are entertained
that he will finally yield. In any event. he
will have q representative on the board,
as his interest in the company is under
stood to be second only to that of Mr..
Armour.
The reorganization of the management of
the two companies is now generally under
stood to have been the result of the com
promise. The Moores will disappear en-
tirely from the roster of the Match COM
for the company. In consideration of retir-
ing without a fight from the Match COM
pany, William III. is retained as president
and director of the Biscuit company. Mr..
Smith, who retires from the Biscuit direc-
tory, is said to have only a few shares of
stock in that corporation, and to have been
anxious to be relieved. The directors of the
Biscuit company took no action regarding
the dividend although it's declaration is
due If a dividend is to be paid in October
