An amusing little stcry about the pres
ent emperc- Of Germany, William II.
and VieL'.a coachman was narrated az
a banquet lately given at Vienna hy
some diplomatists. the narrator being
himself we'll known and prominent
member of the corps diplomatic.
III the year 1887 the present Emperor
William ii of Germany, then Prince
William Of Prussia, came TO Vienns,
visiting his particular friend and chunI,
the late Crown Prince Rudolf of Aus
tria. Joined by the Prince Of Wales.
who was at that time also frequent
visitor to the Vienna court, the three
princes took fancy to mingle with tho
commons of the Vienna population.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, they visited
places which are not in the least regard
ed as suitable for princely guests.
One day they entered hotel, but in
stead of going into the dining room they
walked into the "schwemme, a place
which answers in some degree to the
barroom of an American hcsel; in this
room coachmen and the servants Of the
hotel guests take their meals
The three princes took seats at an
empty table, and listened, highly
amused, to a fierce debate about politics
between several stout members of that
class of fashionable Vienna cOachmen
who are known all over Europe as
"fesche Wiener fiaker. +" The distinc-
tion of those characters is a kind of
good natured boldneSs and droll famil-
iarity toward their customers as well as
TO perfect strangers.
After listening awhile Prince William
put in a word, and soon was drawn into
the excited discussion. Suddenly a stout,
red faced coachman walked up to the
/ table where the three princes We're seat
/ ed, and, tapping Prince William gently
ON the shoulder, said, Now, if you
should ever have anything TO say in
politics, you wouldn't set a river ON fire
I'm sure''
+ AS every public coachman in Vienna
wears a number. this coachman was
upon a special request of Prince William
easily identified. The prince sent hin
handsome scarfpin with his initials a,
thanks for the amusement he had fur
nished, and thus the man learned in
amazement whose political abilitie,
/ they We're that he had so belittled -

Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F, Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far, nearly 100, 900 of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 2O0,-
600 more of his make; that means a
business of $50, 900 900, if we average
them at S1OO each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel f..

How London Handled the All DeVourinE
Sickness In the Seventeenth Century.
During the plague of 1908 Francis
Herring, Doctor in Physicke and Eel
low of tho Colledge Of PhySitians in
London published certain Rules
and Directions for the prevention of the
spreading of that contagious and all de-
vouring Sickness. These he reprinted,
somewhat inlarged, in the next
plague season Of 1925, Ito the view and

and Countrimen. Among his rules are /:
"ConcOurse of people 10 Stage playes,

Gold At Cripple Creek.

The fabulously rich gold mining dis
trict of Cripple Greek, Colorado, is
attracting hundreds of people.
By spring the rush bids fair to be
enormous. That there is an abun-
nance of gold there is demonstrated
beyond doubt. Fortunes are being
rapidly made.
To reach Cripple Greek, take the
Santa Fe route, the only standard
gauge line direct to the camp.

The Santa Fe lands you right in tic

Importance of the Exchange Reader.
The man who reads the exchanges l.
q very important man, and, let me say,
too, he is pretty highly paid man He
has to read, we will say, 5000 papers
regularly. All the newspapers in the
country come into the Office. and he does
not do anything else. He sits at his desk
all day, and a pile of newspapers, or,
say, a cord of newspapers, is laid before
him every morning. He starts TO work
and turns them over and over to see
what is in them. He has to know what
it is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
1eresting story? 1t requires Judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience as well as talent. 1t also re
quires a sense of humor, because there
are great many things that are really
important that may not seem so at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that. He must
always be on hand and spend a great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day IS task 1t is hard duty, but he has
lots Of amusement, and, as said, he il
very well paid. So he is happy.-Charles

TIE DELAYED WEDDING.

There have been granter weddings tnan
that between Cornelius Vanderbilt. tr..
and Miss Grace Wilson. but none IN recent
years has caused 80 much sickness or Cos
sip. The prospects OF IL seemed TO bring
on several very severe attacks OF rhsu-
rnstism upon the eager Bridegroom: his
father became very seriously III. and six
or seven eiergynen who were invited to
perform the ceremony were in succession
seized with sudden ailments.
Now, however. II IL all over. and what IL
done can not b undone. Society - ssiu
gossip7ing about II. and the young man's
father seems to have taken the matter
seriously 10 heart Two objections were
made to the marriage. Young Vanderbilt
u not only several years the junior OF
Miss Wilson. but IL exceedingly delicate.
The only one in the whole affair who has
shown q healthy constitution 10 the bride.
The young couple have shown remarkable
determination. II is now told that Miss
Wilson confded 10 a number OF young
friends that she intended to capture young
Vanderbilt; and she did. The young man
willingly responded. although his father
Immediately added codlcl to his viii
cutting his son OF with $500 q year.
This Is all highly romantic, and IN old
time novels the story would end here with
a prediction OF their living happily ever
after. with a suggestion that the father
repented and left his whole fortune to
them. But life 10 not that kind OF . ro-
nance. Life only begins where the novel
leaves off; and before any young people
make up their minds to follow this ex-
ample they had better wait year or 90
and ascertain the sequel.
II II should turn out an unhappy mar
riage il will prove once more that those
who marry In haste usually repent with
much leisure: and IL 1t turn out to be a
happy one. It VIII prove that by q lucky
chance they were suited to each other,
for there seems TO have been no judg-
ment in the matter. and not much good
taste In the proceedings.
