Saved His Life by q Jest.

Amelia Wofford tells of 1.-The Court
fosters Of England" in st. Nicholas. The
author says of one of them:
Archoe Armstrong was the well beloved
jester of King James VI of Scotland, aft
erward James | of England, and this is
the traditional story of their introduction:
"Ono day "A shepherd with the carcass of
o sheep upon his shoulders was tracked to
his cottage on the moorlands by the Off
GERS of justice. In the cottage they found
q vacant faced lad rocking cradle with
more attention than boy is accustomed
to give that duty. This, however, did not
arouse their suspicious They searched
tho cottage thoroughly, but failed to dis
cover the sheep. They were about to de-
part when one of their number acciden-
tally looked into the cradle, and the stolen
sheep lay there. The lad, who was sup
posed TO be the thief, was brought before
King James VI of Scotland. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced to die. He
began, to plead with the king. He was IL
poor, ignorant fellow, he said. He had
heard of the Bible and would like to read
it through before he died. Would the king
respite him until he did soY The king
readily gave his consent, whereupon the
culprit Immediately said, Then hang me
If ever read word OF as lang rs my cen
are open.
The witty reply captured tho king He
pardoned the prisoner and took him into
his service as. jester. In this capacity
Archee was soon prime favoritc.

Saving Time.

The electric light on the lofty frame
work of great modern buildings under
construction is now a familiar sight. The
work goes on mt night as well as by day,
SO that, with its new building completed
the valuable land shall as soon as possible
again be made productive.
1t is common now in busy streets to do
work that involves tearing up the street
pavements, on underground pipes, wires
and so on, at night, 50 that tho work may
be done with the least interruption to
traffic and with the greatest facility as
far as the work itself is concerned.
And nowadays work on new pavements
is carried on ut night to hurry it to com
pletion, simply to save time 1t may be,
for example, that in u residence street two
shifts of men are employed I'm laying an
asphalt pavement, and the work goes right
on continuously, day and night One
might look down this quiet street at 3
o'clock i'm the morning and SEQ the men at
work by the 1aring naphtha torches and
the big steam roller moving back and
forth Just the same as ut 3 o'clock in tho
afternoon.
On occasion work on gas trenches and
other street work Ia nowadays kept right
on at night. And all these things are in
keeping with the great modern tendency
to save time, to utilize every minute and
to waste nothing. New York Sun.

KEY CONCEALED IN A RING.
1t Occupied Only n Small Space, but I'm
locked Everything.

1t Occupied Only n Small Space, but I'm
locked Everything.
A Cincinnatian but lately returned from
England tells of "a rather novel innoya-
ton in the way of locks and keys, or, to
speak more correctly, key.
At q country place be visited he was sur
prised to see his host unlock the gateway
of the place with small key that in some
mysterious way was produced from "a large
seal ring he wore. Yet the ring was not
large enough to be conspicuous by reason
of its size or style. AS he expressed some
surprise in the matter his host said:
This is master key. You see, it slides
under the set in the ring and occupies no
space whateverG 1t Twill unlock every lock
about the place. even my dressing bag
my trunk, my bond box and wine cellar. {"
T. He was asked as to the arrangement in
general, whether one key, say of the but
Ter, would unlock the front door.
"Not at ALL " he replied. 1.-THE locks are
all arranged in suits The butler can I'M
lock all the doors that are in his depart
ment, and the housekeeper can unlock the
linen closets and other doors under her
supervision, but she cannot get into the
buffers domain. And in every other de-
partment about the place from end to end
every one has his or her key, but l have
only the master key. All of the doors open
to mo. My valet can open my dressing
case and closets, but he cannot get a bot
tic of wine OF course the arrangement
in seal ring is novel, but it is very handy
for me- In the first place, / cannot lose
it, and in the second place, everything
opens to me without asking question.

GETTYSBURG.
Loogstreet ssys Lee Was Responsible For
Picketts Disastrous Charge.

Ever since the suppression of the rebel
lion historians have differed as TO whether
Lee or Longstreet was responsible for the
disaster at Gettysburg, the friends of each
claiming the other was 10 blame. The
narrator was present ON the scene OF the
great battle few years ago when the
great soldier, 10th Union and Confcder-
ate, WHO bad mingled in that bloody fray
met there again for the first time since the
memorable events OF 80 years before.
Longstroct made little concealment then
regarding bis contention that it was Lee
who ordered the disastrous Pickett charge
and lost the day. On that occasion many
errors of history were recorded. The guide
who directed the movements of the distin-
guished party adopted a bold move to sur
prise Longstreet into declaration OF his
feeling on the subject. Said he standing
beside the Confederate leader, who held a
sound gathering hand to his dulled ear:
"When the flower of Virginia's chiyalry,
Pickett's division, arrived on the night of
the second day, General Lee determined to
employ these fresh troops to make an as
sault the next day on Cemetery hill under
cover of a terrific cannonading by General
Alexander's guns, while an assault in the
rear was TO be made at the same time by
General Stuart's cavalry, who had been
sent around to the left for that purpose
1t is generally believed, General Long
street, that he ordered this in the face of
your protest; that he commanded Pickett
to take this commanding position occu-
pied by the Union troops"
Longstreet' S face glowed with suppressed
excitement In voice that showed no
quayer of age and at the same time strik-
ing forth with his right arm as though he
would smite foe he cried outs "He said,
Well strike them right here; well strike
them right here.
And with "A repetition of Lees words the
arm again shot forth. The guide told how
Pickett's men had marched to their death
across the wheatfeld.
"What is the distance from here to
where they emerged from the woods?"
asked Longstreet abruptly.
Exactly one mile and quarter, was
the response.
"Ahl" exclaimed the veteran. Lee said
before the charge that tie distance was
|, 40 yards. said it was a mile. / was
nearer right than he In all history prior
to that time there were never charges of a
greater distance than 600 or 700 yards.
Then there was never before charge of
such length. "-Philadelphia Times.

OF tho tribe takes an amorous liking for "a
young man, she very frankly confesses it,
and her parents are informed of her choice
OF prospective husband. If they approve,
the interesting information Is impaired in
due time to his family, and if the as yet
perhaps unsuspecting subject of the selec-
ton is suited i'm turn he makes, through
the mutual parents, an engagement to
visit his admirer at her home. He Is re-
ceived somewhat formally by the maiden
and her family, when something like the
following laconic conversation ensues be-
tween the young people, while the father
and mother, with the other members of
the household, sit apart, amiably pretend
ing not to listen:
Thou contest" she says.
"Yes. How be ye these many days?" he
answers

tons him to Il seat near her.

part of a hostess when visitor enters q

bids him "looson his belt and lessen his

His Visit.

A pathetic story is told in New York
exchange of young man who knew a
certain New York family slightly, but
wished to cultivate their acqua' utance.
Learning their day at home, he ustered
up courage to call. 1t was rather grand
and awe inspiring establishment, and up
on being ushered into the first of suit of
rooms and his name announced by the
footman he found the lady of the house,
who, evidently not appropriating his visit
to herself, said, after shaking hands, "You
will find my sister in the next room, MIR.
r" Pcrcoiying by this remark that his
call was, supposed to be meant for some
other member of tho family, he passed
on to No i'm the next room, where
he was greeted with the same cordiality
as before. "How do you do, Mr.. Ri"
said the lady you will find my sister
in law in the dining room pouring tea.
know she will be charmed to see you.
Decidedly taken aback at being passed
on in this fashion, the young man made
his way To the dining room, where he was
greeted with kindly nod by Hostess
No. 3. Must you really 20, Mr. R.f"
she exclaimed. lit was SO good of you to
come Goodby. Remember we are always
home on Tuesdays. The young man
made his escape and evidently thought
himself i'll treated, since he tells the tale.
In point of fact, however, he was lucky.
Doubtless each of the three ladies thought
no had been asked to call by one of the
others, and unless some one of the trio
was surprised to see him and so canvassed
the matter with the others the fact that he
went unlimited will not DO discovered,
and he CANTOR he doubtless has the as
surance to do so-ayail himself of the third
hostess invitation.
