I'll. Cost of eating an Odd Atlas.

rh. Coat of eating an Odd Atlas.
Tn the state department at Washing
ton is the most comprehensive and
complete set of aliases and maps to be
found anywhere In this country. AS
can be readily appreciated, they are
vitality necessary to the carrying on OF
the department, and therefore neither
trouble nor expense Is spared In keep
ing them constantly up to date. 1t
would be supposed that their extreme
value and Importance would be patent
to every one.
Some years ago, however, one Of the
most valuable aliases was found with
two Of the maps cut out. The maps
had not been distracted. They had
simply been detached from the bind
ing. Investigation proved the mutiia-
ton to be the work of certain clerk,
who on being hauled up by his superior
explained why he had done it as fol-
lows:
"Those books are terribly heavy and
hard to handle, and so 1 cut the maps
out In order to get at them easier. The
aliases were very old, and didn't sup
pose they were of any value or that
any one would care"
To the state department an atlas Is
like bottle of wine to a Judge of fine
drinks-its value increases In direct
ratio with its age. 1t was felt In the
department that that particular clerk
had mistaken his calling In life, and to
him was accordingly given an opportu-
nifty to pursue another one.-New YORK
Tribune.

Hobson's Choice.

How many of us who use or hear the
familiar expression, at was Hobson's
choice" are acquainted with the, real
sort of selection that Tobias Hobson
offered his guests? This is the genuine
version of the tale: The said Tobias
Hobson was a Cambridge innkeeper'
with 40 horses In his stables, some bet
ter, Of course, than others. When a
traveller came to request mount, nc
was obliged to take the steed that
stood nearest the door, although there
were SO many others advertised as foi
hire. If the traveller objected to that
mount, all he could do was to walt un
I'll some other traveller had come fol
one and so removed this and left It's
next door neighbor nearest the stable
door.

Cautious.

I Many years ago, when printed music
was dearer than 1t is now, plain,
quiet man, evidently from the country,
went into a London music shop ana
asked to see certain book OF tunes.
The clerk laid before him an oDlong
volume with two tunes on page
book familiar to old time choir singers.
The old man drew out Of his coattail
pocket an ancient yellow fife and, open
ing the book at the first page, began to
play softly, turning the leaf with care
full fingers as each page was finished.
The clerks, very much amused at
first, grew weary Of the droning noise
after a time, and one Of them, waiting
till a tune was ended, ventured TO say
politely:
"Do you think you will take the BOOK
sir? Does 1t seem to suit your
The fife was lowered, and the player
looking over 1t at the youth in mild sur
prise, said gently:
81 cannot tell. l have played only
half the tunes" and placidly turned
another leaf.
