THE COURT JESTER.
Practical Joke That VIII sommers Played on Cardinal NoIsey.

Amelia Wofford tells of ssThe Court testers of England' in St. Nicholas The following is related of King Henry VIII's jester:
 Sommers, like Scogan, liked prac- tical joke, and one that he played on Cardinal Wolsey is thus quaintly told by Armin:
 "Of a time appointed the king dined at Windsor, in the chapel yard at Car dlnall Wolsey's at the same time when he was building that admirable work of his tombe, at whose gate stood a number of poore people, to be served with aims when dinner was done with in, and as Will passed by they saluted him, taking him for worthy person. age, which pleased him. In he comes, and finding the king at dinner and the cardinal by attending, to disgrace him that he never loved, Harry, saves bee, lend me e10. What to doe? safes the king. To pay three or foure of the car dlnalPs creditors, quoth hee, to whom my word is past, and they are now come for the money. That thou shalt Will, quoth bee. Creditors of mine? safes the cardinal. He give your grace my head If any man can justly aske me penny. No, safes Will. Lend me e10. If I pay 1t not where thou owest it, He give thee G20 for 1t. Doe so, safes the king. That will, my liege, safes thee cardinal, though l owe none. With that he lends Will e10. Will goes to the gate, dis tributes it to the poore and brought the empty bag. There is thy bag againe, safes bee. Thy creditors are satisfied, and my word out of danger. Who re- eeived, safes tke king, the brewer or the baker? Neyther. Harry, safes Will Sonmers. But, cardinal, answer me in one thing, to whom dost thou owe thy soule? To God, quoth hee To whom thy wealth? To the poore, safes bee. Take thy forfeit, Harry. safes the foole Open confession, open pennanee. His head is thine, for to the poore at the gate paid his debt, which hee yields is due, or if thy stony heart will not yield it so, save thy head by denying thy word and lend it mee. Thou know est am poore and have neyther wealth nor wit, and what thou lendest to the poore God will pay thee tenfold The king taught at the jest, and so did the cardinal for q shew, but it grieved him to jest away e10 so. o

Von MoItke.

Yon MoIrke was originally an officer in the Danish army. At the age of g years he was entered as royal cadet i. e., he was to be educated at the ex- pense of the king, Frederick VI, ill the Copenhagen Military academy - and, having taken his examinations, he wore the Danish uniform until he, as sub lieutenant at the age of 27, petitioned the king for three years leave to pro ceed to the continent to study the mil itary art, as he says in his petition, ito be able on his return to employ his ac- auirements for the good of his country. ]" This petition was granted, but the count also asked to be allowed to retain his pay, and as the king refused this he took his discharge and entered the Prus- sian army, d recrri t W hon. that organi. zation has every reason to lold in en- during memory.

People Are More Interested In the Pleas
 ant Side of Life.
 "Eyery one of us has his and her own ailments, " writes Edward w. Box in The Ladies Home Journal, deorying the unpleasant habit many people have of discussing their bodily ills. Tt is enough for us all to keep we'll ourselves To be compelled to listen to the ail- ments of others does not make that task any easier. Besides all this, these un- necessary narratives of personal ail- ments are positively injurious to our selves Physicians all agree that many of the slight illnesses, of which some people make so much, could be cured if they would but take their minds from themselves. Too many people work themselves into illnesses or prevent themselves from getting well by talking about petty ailment which, if forgot ten, would right itself.
 1T will not say that women, more than men, are prone to this evil, but as the majority of women have more leisure than the majority of men they are more likely to let their minds dwell upon every little i'll that assails them and talk about it. It seems to me that one of the most important lessons we can all learn with the close of the year is to refrain from inhioting upon others what is purely personal to ourselves. Let us cease this tiresome, this incon- siderate, this unnecessary talk about our ailments Cold and hard as it may seem, the fact is nevertheless true, and will ever remain so, that the vast ma jority of people are interested in what is pleasant i'll our lives, but not in what is unpleasant. Pains and sorrows are elements ill our lives which are sacred and interesting only to ourselves.

 Prussian Streets.
 The German emperor as king of Prus- sia has the sole right to name streets, and he has just refused his consent to the proposal to call two streets after the names of Dr. Bertram and Dr. Langer- haus two popular members of the mu- nieipal council His majesty disapproves of such a course during the lifetime of the godfathers. This apparently refers to men of official standing only, whose political opinions might change after the streets had been named, for the Mommsenstrasse in Charlottenburg was recently passed with approval. Some new German streets have tendency to long names. Prince August von Wur- tembergstrasse' is today a name and nothing more. The houses have still to be built.

Shortly afterward, while work ing in the mines of Dade county, he at- tempted, with other convicts, to escape. and ill the melee that followed he killed two of the guards. He was tried some time ago for the killing of the first guard and got 99 years He was then put on trial for the killing of the other man and got 99 years more. --Exchan0a

ment on Monday evening of this
week. Miss hickey of Columbus, a
most superb and accomplished elo-
cutionist ana personator, was
the principal feature of the pre-.
gram. Her impersonations and
recitals are certainly above the
average, and the goodly audience
enthusiastic in their appreciation.
The entertainment was d' tied
with musical selections of merit by
local talent. Other than the usual
excellent solos, quartettes, etc, that
are in attendance on such splendid
occasions, a notable feature of this
program was the rendition of Holy
City by Mrs. l.. Warner. In the
happy past some twenty years ago
Mrs. Warner was one of the good
sopranos in Logan'5 musical cir.
ces. She gained much applause
and congratulation then upon her
superb rendition of the then popu-
lar solo, "Holy City," By much
coaXing on the part of the good
ladies Of her age, she was persuad-
ed to sing it once more in these
after years, for the pleasure of the
present generation and the re-
membrance of those of her age OF
the happy social times Of the past
in Logan. Mrs. Warner has not
lost her rich soprano voice. Her
rendition of this beautiful selection
brought tears to the eyes of her
companions and deep appreciation
to all listeners. 1t was feature
of the program much to be com
mended, and we would be glad il
the future entertainments were
fraught with selections from the
elderly ladies who were the grand
singers Of former years, We would
suggest ladies quartette of these
good ladies in constant organiza.
ton. They would add much to the
musical circles of our community.
