MIXED THOSE ANSWERS UP.
How French Soldier Replied TO the
Questions of Frederick the Great.

From Harper's Round Table.
Whenever new soldier appeared in
the guards of Frederick the Great of
Prussia it was the habit of the King
to ask him the three following ques-
tions: How old are you? How long
have you been in my service? Are you
satisfied with your pay and treatment?
1t once happened that young French
soldier, who had served in his own
country, expressed a wish to join the
Prussian army, and because of his
splendid physical development he was
at once accepted. He was unable to
speak a single word of the German
language, but his Captain told him that
the King was certain to ask him ques-
tions in that language the first time he
saw him, and he advised him, there
fore, to learn by heart the proper re-
plies to the usual three questions of
his Majesty. The soldier lost no time
in learning them, and on the first day
that he made his appearance in the
ranks Frederick approached to interro-
gate him. 1t so happened, however,
that the King began with the second
question first, and asked him:
How long have you been in my SER
vice."
"Twenty-one years." answered the
young man.
His youth sufficiently indicated that
he had not carried gun for any such
length of time as that, and his Majesty
greatly astonshed. said:
How old are you?"
"One year, ant please your Majesty"
The King, still further amazed, ex-
claimed:
You or I must certainly be bereft of
our senses!"
The soldier, of course, taking this for
the third question, and glad that the
ordeal was over so easily, replied:
Both, ant please your Majesty"
This is the first time 1 was ever
treated as madman at the head of my
army" replied Frederick, greatly
puzzled.
The Frenchman, whose stock of Ger
man was now used up, stood quiet
Presently the King spoke to him again
whereupon the soldier blurted out in
| French that he did not understand q
| single word of German. The King
who had been much annoyed, was now

the necessity of doing his duty, left

A Queer Egg story.

egg was presented to Miss Lopez by Pos

trich farm in South Africa. Accompany
ing the egg was the following letter from
the sender: II send the ostrich egg, and

will receive a boom when you learn it's
history. We had a man on the farm
named Carr, who was noted for his skin
in breeding and raising ostriches. He
had raised the mother of the egg 1 send.

her Breeding time came, and the os-
trich was soon watching over a setting
of eggs. Our farm matches artitcially,
the eggs being removed from the mother
and placed in an incubator Carr was the
one selected to secure the eggs, on ac-
count OF his great command over the
bird. He entered the pen and began pick

started to strike him with her powerful
feet. We had to shoot the mother before
We could get hsr away, and then found
we were too late, Carr's skull having

eggs were broken, with the one exception,

TRIBUNE'S BULLETINS
Attracted n Great Crowd to Adams
Avenue and Linden street.

The Tribunes comprehensive dis
play of election returns attra cted
much attention last ni~ht. Thousands
gathered at Adams avenue and Lin
Gen street, where bulletins were dis
played by means of powerful stereop-
tiCon.
The first returns received were from
New York city, and as the early re-
turns from the county were made
known. the way the battle was going
in Massachusetts, and Ohio was also
announced.
There was great cheering from the
crowds as the returns announced an
increase in the vote of some favorite
over the other candidates on the tick
ct. 1t was a good-natured, typical
American crowd that was prepared to
cheer Justify for favorites, but was
equally willing to give a hearty greet
ing to the man who was apparently
the leader in the race.
The bulletin continued to be dis
played with great regularity every
minute or two until 1 o'clock this
morning.
