Little AifOnsO's Humo-.

The young king of Spain seems to have
inherited his mothers cheerful tempera-
ment and to have spirit of fun which
evcn-and this is saying much-Spanish
etiquette cannot quench The following
story is being told OF his majesty:
The little king had been reading ont to
his tutor Il sentence in the words, She
possessed in the highest degree the distn-
guishcd manners and grace of speech in
hercnt in princcsscs," and to the tu-
tors amazement remarked. That writer
didn't know much about courts"
"Why do you say that. sir?'
swell, look at that pair of princesses.
One of his royal sisters, evidently dread
fully hot and sleepy, was sprawing over
her desk in very degage attitude, while
the other apparently unable to solve I
difficult problem, was absently rubbing
her eyes and looking dazed meanwhile,
His majesty tugged the hair of one and
pinchcd the arm of another princess,
evOking some very strong and familiar
terms of sistcrly reprobation.
There are distinguished manners and
grace Of speech for you he exclaimed
regarding triumphantly the tutor.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Mr.. Vanderbilt and Sam narton

Cornelius Nanderbit's lifelong friend,
the late Samuel Barton, who was also
his first cousin once removed. lay very
i'll at his home in this city n little while
before Mr. Vanderbilt was himself
stricken with apoplexy. They had been
playmates and schoolmatcs. Barton at
the boarding school which he and young
Vanderbilt attended had been the GUS
todian of his cousins pocket money. He
was n little older than Cornelius Van
dcrbilt. Afterward Barton was one of
the brokers' for the old commodore, and
he was esteemed a man of wealth when
Cornelius Vanderbilt was drudging as a
bank clerk at $50 week.
Mr.. Vanderbilt heard that Mr.. Barton
was in some distress of mind as well as
body and he called upon him. The
meeting was like that of men who have
been playmateS, and they spoke of their
sports and Of their experiences at the
boarding school, and at last Mr. Wander
bilt very delicately inquired if there
was anything that was causing Mr.. Bar
ton anxiety, and his old playmate replied
that he was fearful that his estate would
not leave his family comfortably provid-
ed for Thercupon Mr.. Vanderbilt said
speaking the familiar name of childhood
days, sam. don't let that worry you.
That was all he said, but the next day
he deposited in Mr.. Barton's name a
large sum Of money, not far from $50
600. When Mr.. Barton heard that, ii
seemed to give him peace, and he called
his family to him, said that he was CON
tent to die, babe them goodby, and then
saying II am very tired" turned his face
to the wall and in moment was gone

Finishing an Cnfin ishcI song,

Charles Graham, the song writer. who
recently died. left an unfinished song en-
titled, "She Always Loved You, Moth
err" In order to finish this, says The
Musical Age, the music company to
whom it belongs offered $50 for an end
ing. Although ton of verse was re-
ceived, no one succeeded in catching
just the tone of the characteristic OF
Graham.
1t is an interesting thing that in all
that immense mass Of manuscript, some
of it written by the most distinguished
song writers and authors of the day, nc
one of them could quite take up the
plaintve little song where Graham left
it, which shows that there is a subtle
expression of individuality even in this
low grade poetry, and it opens an unlim
tied field for conjecture and analysis rs
to just why the public took so readily
to this authors work, passing over that
which appears on the surface to be equal
ly mcritorious.

Talking about Turkey, says writer
in the Washington Post. | hear most
amusing stories Of the difficulties expe-
renced even by Ottoman princes of the
blood in getting through the sultan's
custom house such uncanny things as
automobiles and electric launches, the
difficulty being largely due to the ina
bilty of the revenue officers to appre
ciate the distinction between the word
dynamo and dynamite
There are several electric launches now
fitting about on the waters of the Bos-
porous. But they are each provided with
q purely ornamental smokestack, with
the object of alaying the fears of the
custom house officials, who only consent
ed to pass them after it had been cx-
planned to them that if the boats in ques-
ton had been sent out from England
without smokcstncks it was because they
were in an incomplete condition. In the
same way it was impressed upon them
that the automobiles were n new kind OF
water cart. for the purpose of watering
the paths and roads in the grounds Of
the princes and dgnitaries by whom they
had been purchased. and that the accu-
mulators were merely a new species Of
tank for the water.

He Wns In0rm ed.

A good story is being told in Germany
of the antiSemite burgomaster Of Wen
ma, DR.. Lueger. Three soldiers waited
upon him the other day as a deputation,
and during the course of the interview
he asked the first one. "What would You
do if the emperor ordered you to shoot
the burgomaster of VIENNA
Il should shoot him." was the stolid
reply.
oh" said the doctor, "what may be
your religion?'
Il am a Protestant"
"In that case, l am only slightly sur
prised at you
The second soldier gave the same kind
OF an answer, and in reply ia an inquiry
as to his faith, declared that he was a
Catholic. This rather startled the bur
gomaster, who thcreupon turned TO the
third soldier The latter replicl, II should
not shoot the burgomastcr."
and why not, my friend?' asked the
doctor. what is your religion"
Il am a Hebrew"
"What," said the burgomastnr. Don't
you know that | am the greatest He
brew hater in all Austria and Hungary?
And you would not shoot me?'
"Oh," replied the man, lit is merely
because | do not carry gun. | am the

WHAT AN ADMIRAL DOES.
Dewey VIII De Free to Choose III.
own Quarters.

The office of admiral is such rare one
that many people wonder what arc the
duties connected with 1t. That is a cues
ton which no one can answer until Ad-
miral Dewey makes his choice. The ma
val regulati ons do not prescribe the du-
ties of an admiral. The functions Of
commander in chief are fully set forth,
but this might apply to rear admiral
or commodore as well as to an admiral.
In fleet formation he would, of course, be
given the position of honor, but it is not
TO be expected that an admiral would be
much upon the sea. Farragut was al
lowed to choose for himself, and he went
upon an extended cruise. Admiral Por-
ter elected to take shore duty, and he
was connected with the navy department
in an advisory capacity.
After the popular enthusiasm over the
return of Admiral Dewey has receded to
something like sensible bounds and he is
allowed TO have n few moments of sober
reflection he will be the one to decide
what are the duties of an admiral. His
choice will of course be to some extent
shaped by the established regulations of
the navy department. If he should de-
sire to take sea duty his wishes will be
respected. In case he feels that he would
prefer shore duty he will in all probabii-
ty be given any berth he wants
He cannot be retired unless he desires
to be, and even then he will receive full
pay as an admiral The office which he
holds is practically without precedent as
only two have held it before him, and
conditions have changed to some extent
since the Days of Admirals Farragut and
Washington Post.

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT.
His Generosity Tn the Matter of
Christmas Gifts For Children

Mr.. Cornelius Nadcrbilt's large heart.
edness, thoughtfulness and love for chill
drcn are signnlly attested by little in
cident which lady Of this city told the
writer a few days ago. She said that
some years ago, few days before Christ
mas, she went into n toy store to make
n few purchases. While she was cngag.
ed in making her selections the clerk who
was waiting upon her said:
Pardon me. madam, but you would do
me n great favor il you would allow an
other of our clerks to wait upon you.
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt has just come
in-he always comes in about this time
every year--and / always wait upon
him"
"Of course" the lady went on, IT OK.
cused her, and, never having seen Mr..
Vanderbilt, | was curious to see what he
looked like, and ] watched him while he
made his purchases. He went here and
there about the store, evidently giving as
much thought to what he was doing as
| though he were purchasing railroads in
| stead of toys. ] left him still hard at
| work when / went out. Well, one day
| not long after I went into the same store
and had the curiosity to ask the clerk the
