A story is told of Fanny Kemhle, whose favorite summer resort was Len- OF, that on her first season there she employed a self respecting villager, who had comfortable turnout. to drive her about He, feeling it to be his duty to make the drive as entertaining as possi- ble, began to call her attention to the beauty of the soenery-whioh she wished to enjoy undisturbed-and to tell her who lived in certain houses as they passed along. until finally Mrs Kemble, being unable to stand it any longer. said in the high tragedy manner somewhat peculiar to her. "I have en- gaged you to drive for me, sir, and not to talk"
 The driver ceased talking. pursed up his lips, and in all their subsequent drives his only remarks were such as be found necessary to address to his horses At the end of the season he handed in his bill for the summer services. Run- ming her eye down it's awkward columns. she paused at an item that she didn't understand. "What is this, sir, I can not comprehend it"
 With equal gravity he replied. ''Sass, 6. don't often take it, but when do I charge"
 She paid the bill without comment and continued to employ the same driver during many summers she spent there. Boston Record.

They are we'll known to all sporting men. and I could name four or ive who have done little else all their lives.

Saved Life ..a Name.

The French author Martainville, who began his career toward the close of the last century, is said to have owed the preservation of his life to witty piece of audacity. He was a royalist and did not hesitate to attack the French revolution and it's authorities Presently, of course. he was summoned to appear before the revolutionary tribu- nal. The revolutionary tribunals at that time did not hesitate to send every body to the guillotine who had ventured to attack them.
 Martainville expected to go with the rest of the victims '.what is your namea" asked the judge. "Martain- vile. !" said the young author. Mar tainville" exclaimed the judge. "You are deoeiving us and trying to hide your rank You are an aristocrat, and your name Is De Martainville. "Citixen president" exclaimed the young man, Il am here to be shortened, not to be lengthenedi Leave me my namep A true Frenohman loves & witticism above all things, and the tribunal was SO pleased by Martainville's grim response that 1t spared his life.
