Lord salisbury's Levee Dress.

Here is very amusing and character
istic story of Lord Salisbury. 1t is known
that he is most careless in dress and that
he is far too serious in his mind and &C.
equations TO have much regard for the
merely ceremonial side of life A conse-
quence has been a perfect Ignorance of
ali that aDpertains to uniforms on state
occasions. For some years this failing
produced no evil result, for Lord Salisf
bury had faithful valet who looked
after him: but one unhappy day the valet
left and Lord Salisbury was reduced to
his own resources. IL was levee day. and
she prime minister was in the midst of
serious business up to the last moment
He rushed home. turned ont large bun
die of uniforms. of which. of course he
has quantity. and took the first that
came to his hand. with the astonishing
result that he Wore coat that belonged
to the Elder Brethren of Trinity House.
a deputy heutenant's pair of trousers and
hat of the Royal Archers. Even that
was not the worst. He wore his sword
on the wrong side, and things reached
their climax in the waistcoat which. dat
ing from an earlier and less robust ne
Rod of his life, left between 1t and the
trousers what was once called in the case
of another great parliamentarian. "a lu-
cid interval" Since that incident Lord
Salisbury has never been trusted to dress
himself for levee alone.

Roberts,? He has aided the storm
starters IN bringing about the presen
| state of affairs. and has fought Mr.
Roberts at every turn, and has de-
nounced the Democratic party FOL
nominatin him, but now that the cy-
clone has engulfed him, and bring!
down the wrath of the administration
upon his head. he cries that Mr. Rob
erts should befriend him. He evidently
thinks a Republican polygamist is en-
titled to more consideration than his
Democratic brother"
% g q
We are inclined to the opinion that
the Enquirer is misunderstood. 1t
wants the Deseret News to leave Mr.
Roberts alone-to let him draw the fire
of anti-Mormon prejudice and keep
sectarian attention fastened upon him
self. He mustn't dodge, no matter how
the doctrines and practices of which he
is the embodiment in Washington are
assailed. The Enquirer would prefer
to have all the excitement confined TO
the District of Columbia.
1t reminds US of the Irish inspector in
the employ of a street railway COM
pany in an. eastern city. He Drided
himself on his judgment in handling
employees. and particularly his skill in
cross examining conductors. 1t is re-
days ago a conductor who had elected
a disorderly drunken man; the latter
picked W a stone and threw it at the
conductor who lodged, and it went
through the window and struck a pas
senger, who entered a complaint. The
inspector was stern with the con-
ductor and this is the examination:
You knew began the inspector. when
this fellow picked up that stone and
threw it at you that it was agin the law
for him TO do the like of that, didn't
you?"
II did," replied the conductor.
What did you say TO him whin you
saw him pick it up?"
L told him to drop that stone"
And he didn't drop it?'
No; he threw it at me-"
Thin what did you do?''
Il juked and it went over my head and
through the car window
You knew that, accordin' to the rules
and regulations of this company you were
in charge of the car and that it was your
1uty to look after it as If it were. your
own property. which it isn't, fer it's the
company's?"
Il did,"
And I suppose you read in the news
papers of a raycint decision of the court
in which the judge said it was the july
of the conductors of traction cars to pro-
tect the lives and the persons of the pas
sengers on their cars?"
You knew that was the law?''
Il did,
Thin. sor." said the, inspector, with the
air of a lawyer who has trapped a wit
ness. Il would ak you. KNOWN this, why
did you dodge?"

What Postmasters Graham and
Smith. and Messrs. Tanner and Wilson
of the Agricultural college would like
to understand is this-knowing what
he did why did Roberts luke

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES.
Boat Really Was the ~You Guess.p !;

{ Detroit Free Press,
1t used to be the custom among small
boatmen plying the Detroit and ST. Clair
rivers and the Intervening lake TO name
their vessels In the imperative mood.
Thus II came to pass that there was a
whole notiIla of scows named You Go.
You Stop. You Fly, You Swim. You Sink.
You Fish, You Drink and the like. As
may be Imagined, this peculiar style of
zling to those unfamiliar with the state
OF affairs.
Out in the Detroit river one dark night
skipper of big propeller that was
picking its way carefully up stream called
out 10 one of the small vessels that was
bothering him by its proximity:
Ahoy. there. What boat is that?"
You TELL. was the laconic answer
Who are you, / say?" repeated the
angry skipper.
You Tell" was the same answer that
came back across the dark water.
.Confound you, how in thunder can
tell? Where do you hail from?"
'De;roit?"
And what do you call yourself?'
You Tell, you old fool
The captain gave II up in anger and
DESPAIR. shorty afterward ne ran across
out.
You Guess"
None of your nonsense. Tell me who
you are or I'll ruin you down.
You Guess. told you. What ship are
You go to - was the angry retort.

critic Tieck fancied that the title was
meant as a reply to Ben Jonson's criti-
cisnlS on the loose and irregular style
of Shakespeare's comedy. Ben was a
scholar, and believed in the classical
rules of dramatic composition. The
free and easy methods of his brother
playwright were rank heterodoxy in his
eyes and Re could not help sometimes
expressing his righteous horror at them.
In the preface to "Cynthia's Revels'' he
had said of his own play: '"Tis good,
and if you like it. you may" and Tieck
believed that this suggested to Shakes
peare the title for las You Like It.
as if he had said: well, here's another
OF my careless comedies; take it as you
like it." But it does not seem tonne at
all probable that Shakespeare would
select name for play solely or MAIN
ly to indulge in a little hit at another
author-and hit that would not be
readily understood without an explana-
ton.
Whatever may have suggested the I'll
tie, 1 have on doubt that it was
adopted as fifty expressing the tone and
temper of the play. This is the view
summing up his argument. says: In
fact, all 1.-THE charactersl do exactly
what and as thew please.
Each looks upon and shapes life as it
pleases him or her 1t is
the reflex of a life as you like it; light
and smooth in it's flow, unincumbered
by serius tasks. free from the letters of
definite objects and from intentions
difficult to realize: an amusing play of
caprice, of Imagination and OF waver-
ing sensations and feelings"
Charles Lamb called Loves Labor's
Lost" the comedy CT leisure" but, as
Verplanck remarks. .he might have
given the tile in a higher sense TO AS
You Like It, where the pervading feel
ing is that of a refined and tasteful. yet
