The efforts being made in the west to
have Admiral Dewey return by way of San

Mackworth's carbine and slid it under
the tent-fiags into the outer darkness.
Also he broke the Colts, which had
been thrown down upon the bedding,

KING AND BLACKSMITH
The Smith Got His MOnRrch's Sig.
nature and Waited for
His Pencil.

An anecdote of Emperor Francis Ju.
seph shows that the emperor of Aus
tria and king of Hungary has at least
one characteristic in common with the
average man.
Some time ago while holding court in
the royal palace overlooking the Dam
ube, Francis Joseph received a Hum
garian blacksmith, who desired to
thank his king for the decoration con-
ferred on him in recognition OF his
having invented an agricultural ma
chine.
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?"
sAnd why?" demanded the king,
smilingly.
''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.
1.-The queen is absent from Hungary,
said the king, land 1 cannot give You
my signature at the present moment,
for l have neither pen nor pencil with
in reach
Il have brought a pencil with me,
said the smith, handing it to the mon
arch. The king thereupon attached HI,
signature to the photograph, and dis
missed the smith with a smile anG
his customary inclination of the head
To the kings surprise the smith did
not retire, but stood his ground.
''Is there anything else can do fol
you?" asked Francis Joseph.
"Yes, your majesty. am waiting fol
my pencil"
The king had mechanically pocketed
! it, and he returned il with hearty
iaugh.-Youth's Companion.

Chesterffeld's wit,

Lord Chesterfield was never at a loss
for polite retort. Once he proposed
a person as proper to fill place OF great
trust, but which the king himself was
determined should be filled by another.

indulge the king, for fear of a danger

fields business to present the grant Of

ment," said the earl, coolly, run as
usual: Our trusty and well-beloved
cousin and counselor?' "a repartee at
which the king laughed. and with great

No small Chnr-c.

Dean Monahan relates an incident
which illustrates the absence of small
change in the early days of Kansas. In
1868 he went into the postoffiCe at Hays
City, threw down quarter and asked
for a postage stamp Want only one:'
queried the postmaster. 'Only one, " re-
piled the novelist. whereupon the post
master handed him stamp and raAed
in the quarter. Don't I get any
changer demanded Monahan. Change,
hip replied the government official.
1--WE have no change in these parts
smaller than Il quarter"
And this was strictly true. IN Hays
City the smallest coin known was the
20 cent piece. a glass of beer sold for a
quarter, and the same charge was made
for pound Of crackers or cigar. 1t is
related in the early annals of the town
how the saloon and dance hall keepers
held an Indignation meeting to take &C
tion in the case OF new man who ad-
vertised to sell two glasses of beer for
quarter. The meeting resulted in the de-
parture of the innovator for pastures
new. AS late as 1872 there was 4 store
in Hays City which never gave any
change smaller than the % cent piece.
If the customer had, say, 10 cents COM
ing, he was at liberty to help himself to
a glass of whisky from "a barrel which
stood in the corner, but he need not e1-
pect his dues in money.-kausas City
