A ROYAL Ipn-geeper.

The King of Wurtemburg may Ger
tainly be said to be the only knight of
the Garter who is a hotel-keeper as
veil as a monarch. This has long been
tradition in his family, but not till
lately was it discovered by the rulers
of the beautiful little German kingdom
how profitable inh-keeping can be-
come. When Peter the Great was
travelling incognito through Europe he
refused to stop anywhere but at an inn.
To circumyent this whim the then
King of Wurtemburg put tavern sign
outside one of the royal palaces, and
dressed as an inn-keeper, himself well
coined the car. This royal personage's
descendant now owns two large hotels,
from which he is said to derive rev.
enue of $4,000 year.

Told by Figures.

Nearly 10000 acres have beeen re-
claimed in Ireland during the past year
from the bog and marsh lands.
The fastest flowing river in the world
is the sutley, in British India. Its
descent is II, 600 feet IN 1870 miles.
According to the best authorities.
less than one thousand-millionth part
of the suns rays reaches the earth.
The longest canal in the world is in
Russia. 1t extends from st. Peters
burg to the frontier of China. and
measures nearly $500 miles.
According to computations the black
race embraces about one-tenth Of the
living members of the human species,
or 49,. cor. 900 Individuals.

A YANKEE PRIvATEER.
An Action in Which s'LonR Tom" Did
Some ERective shoottng.


Late one September day in 1914 the
Yankee priyateer General Armstrong
anchored In the har5or of Fayal. a port
IN the Azores. TIE new young cap
tain on her deck, Samuel Chester Reid,
had fighting reputation to sustain for
his vessel and one to make for him
self. Although bred to the sea, he had
always sailed merchantmen and was
on his first cruise SIS a privateer.
AS night closed in three British men
of-War, carrying 1876 guns and 1000
men, entered the harbor. One Briton,
the Carnation, anchored within pistol
shot of the privateer and began to
throw out boats and take on busy airs.
SEesgipg his decks for action, Reid ac-
cepted battle in spite Of the enormous
odds. His vessel carried seven guns
and &c men. One gun was the now
famous Long Tom" which is among
the relics in Washington. It is a long,
large cannon, mounted on pivot.
Seeing four launches loaded with men
pull from the Carnation toward his
ship, Reid opened on them with the
long tom and with muskets. Instant
ly the whole fleet was astir. After
returning the yollay with spirit the
boats backed away Then the three
British ships sailel up and hemmed
the General Armstrong in in the mar
row harbor.
A fotilla of launches made ready be-
hind a ledge of rocks and at midnight
paraded in one long line. They were
rowed steadily toward the priyateer.
On coming within gunshot they re-
ceiyed stunning Yolley, which threw
the line into confusion. Soon the Brit
ons rallied and answered the Yankee
fire. Cheering wildly, they dashed
forward until their boats touched the
side of the ship. The British officer
shouted Board" aud No QUARTER"
Reid hurried his men to the bull
warks with their pixies, pistols and
blunder-busses, and the boarders were
beaten off by blows. stabs and shots de-
livered in their faces. The boarders
fought back with their howitzers, car
ronades and muskets. Reds Iieuten-
ants fell, and many sailors were shot
down. The Yankee fire began to
slacken and Reid led his men forward
with a shout, followed by a fresh vol
ley of balls. into the thiekest of the
boarders.
That ended the struggle. All the
boats hauled off but two. those manned
with dead only. Next day the three
ships attacked, but in order to spare
che town which lay behind his ship
from bombardment Reid seuttled and
abandoned the General Armstrong.
However, his battle delayed the British
fleet in the Azores until New Orleans.
its intended prize, was securely de-
tended.

sneaker Reeds Little Joke.

Recently Speaker Reed wished to see
a man on some pending legislation, and
teIegraphed for him to come to Wash
ington. The man took the first train
available, but washout in the road
made it impossible for the train to pro-
coed. Going to a telegraph station he
sent this dispatch to the Speaker:
"Washout on the line. Can't come"
Reed sent back this reply:
BUY a new shirt and come any
way."
