Gracious to the Humble

Many stories are told of the curious ad ventures of Queen Margherita on her mountaineering excursions, says the Chi cago Chronicle The story of how she en- tertaned party of tourist climbers in one of the mountain huts is well known, but few have heard of another little adventure which befell her last summer. The Queen, whose energy is always the envy and de- spair of her suite, had wandered away from her attendants, and not onl had lost her way, but was both hungry and fa- tigued, when she saw peasants cottage ill the distance.
 Making her way to it, her knock was an- swered by an old peasant woman, whom she asked for rest and refreshment.
 Come in, my dear and welcome the kindly old peasant said.
 The Queen entered and insisted on help ing the hostess to prepare the simple meal of milk and bread. When the belated at tendants reached the cottage they found the Queen and the old woman gossiping of old friends. It was not until some days later when a handsome present arrived at the cottage, that the woman learned how she had entertained her Queen.

Her Wish Was Gratificd

Going abroad on the Oceanic, Mrs. Sarah A. Daley, Denver woman, made the acquaintance of Paderewski in an amusing way, relates the Denver Post She had never seen the pianist before, and did not recognize who he was. Sitting upon the deck one day beside another feminine pas senger she watched with impatience the famous Polish chrysanthemum as he paced the deck.
 Dear me" exclaimed Mrs. Daley to the woman sitting near her, q should like to run my fingers into that mans hair"
 Would you?' replied the other Well, you may do so. That is Mr. Paderewski my husband. I am sure he would not ob- ject Come. I'll introduce you"
 Mrs. Daley was at first taken aback, but when Mrs. Paderewsld explained the circumstances to her husband the pianist laughed heartily. A day or two later Mrs. Daley came upon him playing Chopin number in his cabin. She crept up behind him and daintily ran her fingers through his hair, causing him a great deal of amusement. During the trip the pianist gave concert for the benefit of the fund for the hospital ship Maine, clearing sev- eral thousand dollars from the passengers

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Evidence Was Apparent

A little tale was told on the Hon. Dave Ball during that memorable gathering of American patriots at Kan sas City which might well be worth re- beating. It was perpetrated between drinks by a brother politician. and served mainly to emphasize the Pike Countyan's crowning glory. his unblushing homeli- ness, relates the St Louis Republic.
 Colonel Ball, as most everybody knows is in appearance one of the most unpre- possessing men in Missouri. In fact, he claims to be the uglest man in the State. A few weeks back he went up into north west Missouri to make a speech. While en route to the big picnic grove where he was billed to talk lie was handed marked copy of the Daily Howler. The pa- per was edited by a wild-eyed Pop, who was accused of being in the employ of Mark Hannas subsidized press bureau. The article referred to was mainly denun- ciatory of Ball, and was written presuma- bly, to counteract the usual effect of one of the coloners little talks Among other dreadful political accusations it said he was two faced" When he mounted the stump Ball started off something like this:
 Ladies and gentlemen, before entering into a discussion of the issues of the day I wish to correct a statement made in your daily paper that was two faced It Is small accusation from a small man, and deserves but little reply"
 Here his gestures increased and his collar began to wilt Ca sure sign that he was getting mad)
 My fellow citizens,'' he blurted out, do you think that if had two faces I'd wear the one I've got on now?"

Miss Frocks thought that she detected symptoms of growing sentimentality in young MT. Dolley, and she determined that she would discourage him, says Harpers Bazar. Her kindly efforts to make 1t ap- parent that his advances were .unwelcome were of no avail, however. He was too dense or too egotistical to see that she re- earded him only with toleration, and he rushed on to his doom.

from Obion and Dyer counties. leaving
only about $4,000 or $4,000 yet TO be

very fair. looks Tor $4,000 from the Ken
