The Blacksmith and the King.


Some time ago, while holding court
in the royal palace, overlooking the
Danube, Francis Joseph received a
Hungarian blacksmith, who desired to
thank the king for the decoration con-
ferred on him in recognition of his hav-
ing invented an agricultural machine.
During the audience the blacksmith
drew from his pocket two photographs
representing the king and queen, and
said, handing them to his majesty:
MAY l ask your majesty, and also the
queen, for your signatures ''And
why?" demanded the king, smiingly.
well, when die the cross of merit
which your majesty has given me will
have to be returned and my children
will at least have your majesties' por-
traits and signatures in remembrance
of this audience" t'The queen is alb
sent from Hungary said the king,
"and cannot give you my signature at
the present moment, for have neither
pen nor pencil within reach" II have
brought a pencil with me- said the
smith, handing it to the monarch. The
king thereupon attached his signature
to the photograph, and dismissed the
smith with smile. The smith did not
retire, however, but stood his ground.

you?" asked Francis Joseph. Eyes,

She burst into the reception room ana

4 She burst into the reception room and
flung herself on her mother with wild
;sobs. 'sOh, mamma" she cried, send
for the doctor, quick, quick! The cap
tain's leg was cracked in the war and
I've broken it right off believe his
lwife's glad, cause she'd get the pension
money if he should die. Oh, my dear,
dear captain, don't let me kill him!
Oh, send for the doctor! do send for
the doctor!' And Dorothy's words
ended in a long crescendo wall.
It was some time before explanations
could be given, and Dorothy ceased her
cries and understood that the captain
had lost his own leg in the war and now
had a cork leg, which was strapped
on every morning and taken off every
night, and that perhaps the strap was
old and broken and Dorothy S sudden
tug had loosened or broken it.
It was supposed she would soon run
smiling over to call on the captain, but
for some time Dorothy neither visited
nor spoke of him. When she went by
his house and saw him in the garden
or on the porch she would nod and
smile gravely, but she no longer socially
tripped up the path and seated herself
familiarly on the steps.
4 But as the soldiers day drew near,
Dorothy felt as though there must be
a reconciliation between herself and
her captain friend. Decoration day,
as rule, was not made much of in this
small town. But this year was to be
more impressive. A dignitary from
Washington, who CHANGED to be visiting
near, was to make an open-air speech by
the soldiers monument, and since he
was afterward to be entertained at Dor
othy's home there was much said about
the coming celebration. s..
OF late Dorothy had not had her usual
conversational opportunity at lunch
con, so that it was rather difficult for
her to accomplish her desire to carry
the flowers she had picked to the town
hall, where they might be taken in
charge by the committee. But on Dec
grafton day, at the last moment before
the procession started for the GEM
etery, her mother sent Dorothy with a
message to her father at the hall, and
Dorothy seized this opportunity to take
her great bunch of apple blossoms and
garden japonica in the carriage with
her. There was much hustle when she
reached the hall; boys were running
hither and thither and men were look
ing businesslil1e and hurried. Doro-
thy was not intending to intrust her

A sudden twinkle came into the cap

in the hallway and hastily changed the
topic of conversation.

also heard the step, rose hastily to go.

gossiped about her captain neighbor
she could not go to see him any more.

begun grew more delightful and init

FOREIGN SERVANTS.
Every Country Under the SUN Repre-
scented in American
Homes.

We are getting so cosmopolitan that
we almost lose sight of our own nation
ality in some things. We very seldom
hear of anything which is distinctly
American. The things which seem to
appeal to us are distinctly foreign. We
are always looking for something i'm
ported, something unusual, something
odd. We certainly have an opportunity
to indulge ourselves in this curious pro-
pensity nowadays in the matter of do
nestle servants as well as in. house
furnishings and clothing. +
do not refer to Irish, English, Ger
man, French or Italian, but to still more
distant countries. When we advertise
for cook we are offered oriental cooks
chinese or Japanese. The former
have long-established reputation on
the western coast of this country and
IRE now invading the eastern. Those
who have lived in California know from
experience the fine cooking of the
Chinese as well as their economy. They
are now trying to compete with our
favorite French cooks in New York.

tremely neat, dexterous and quiet about
the house, as also the East Indians.
They all know their business to the mi
nutest detail, and attend to it strictly.
They also know their places as servants,
and have no aspirations which inter
fere with their duties. Consequently
they are real comfort.
And so we have the greatest variety
of nationalities in some of the most ex-
elusive homes of the city. We are
driven by English coachmen, accom-
panied by English footmen; the door is
opened by japanese butler; we are
attended by an Alsatian valet, take
Russian tea in Turkish corner served
by an East Indian, smoke an Egyptian
cigarette and wonder who we are and
where we are at!"-St. Louis Repub-

straight up to the most distinguished
person to be seen, a great man in brass
buttons, gilt cord and gold lace, and
smiling in sweet consciousness offered
him the flowers. "
If you please, I should like TO have
these flowers put on Capt. Bakers
grave" she said.
The man smiled back into the wide,
brown eyes below the Powered hat
brim. ''And who was Capt. Baker, my
little lady?" he asked, graciously.
Dorothy did not notice the change OF
tense. Hes a great friend of mine, .
she said, in happy pride, "and he lives
right near my house,
The gentleman stared at her in
amazement. ''Why, l thought you
wanted to put these flowers on his
grave?" he exclaimed.
''Oh, yes,'' Dorothy fastened to ex-

in the war. I thought if you remem-

excellent fashion. ''Oh," cried Dorothy,
when she recognized the bouquet she
had taken to the hall. I'm afraid they
didn't find the grave" but nobody
heard the remark, for deafening shout
arose as the troops gave three times
three for brave Soldier Baker. There
upon the great man rose again, and it
was the captains turn to prevent Dor

cheered for little Miss Seaton with a

very fond of her captain for mum
Der of reasons; first, because he told
such wonderful stories; then because
his wife was not more polite, because
he had bullet in his leg and could not
get pension, and last, but not least,
because he always called her Miss Dor
othy, which seemed flattering from a
man of his age and war experience.
Mr.. Bakers love for Dorothy was
founded on quite as good reasons. In
the first place, everybody loved Dor
othy, and a tender-hearted old man
could prove no exception to this rule;
then she reminded hip of his lost little
girl, was solace to him after the
stormy ways of Present Mrs. Baker,
and, finally, it was undeniably delight
full to an humble private to be adj
dressed as captain. Gs..- --ss~.
But there came a sudden interruption
to this friendship one fair spring day.
The captain had taken his usual consti-
tutional within the limits Of his small
garden and was removing his rubbers
on the front porch-for he was careful
man, and always wore both galoshes
despite his cork foot, partly for appear
ance's sake, partly because he feared
lest some dampness travelling up his
cork leg might surreptitiously enter
his rheumatic system. Now the captain
being also a stout man was finding
great difficulty in removing his foot
gear and was putting and laboring when
Dorothy appeared walking up the path.
"Oh, Capt. Baker," she cried, show red
your face is! Let me help you'll and
before the breathless captain could re-
monstrate she was sitting on the step
below tugging brayely at the obstinate
rubber. But for some strange reason
it was hard to remove and Dorothy ex-
erted her strength, which was by no
means small, for final effort. She
heard something snap, the captain
called, "Take care!" and horror of hor-
rors! Dorothy found herself pulling off
not merely the rubber but the boot, and
indeed the captains very leg seemed
coming toward her. With an awful
shrek Dorothy sprang to her feet and
fled down the garden path; she heard
Present Mrs. Baker come to the door
and what seemed like malicious burst
OF laughter was borne after her as she
sped up the drive to her own home.

is the one perfect strengthening Taxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
