DRAFT THAT SAVED A TOWN.
the Drinking Capacity of
a Citizen.

Nhitsuntide of each year witnesses
In the historic town of Rothenburg,
on the Tauber, the acting of drama
which recalls a deliverance. In the
Thirty Years war, when the VIC
tories of Gustavus Adolphus had
endangered the Catholic league,
lilly came to besiege Rothen-
burg, which was in league with
the Swedes The English Illus
trated Magazine describes the town
as being at that time wealthy and
well fortified, standing upon steep
cliffs above the Tauber, and having
massive, tower-crowned walls. Its
citizens were proud, trained in arms,
and well provided with cannon and
ammunition.
Against this town came lilly with
massive guns that soon put fortune
on his side. The defenders of the
place, however, contested every inch
of ground. Not until the powder
tower exploded through a grenade of
the enemy did the Swedish garrison
and citizens reluctantly hang out the
white flag, after fight of 30 hours.
lilly would hear nothing of terms Of
equalization. The Swedes might with
draw, but unconditional surrender
was demanded of the town. When he
had taken possession of the beautiful
rathhaus, he sent for the senate, with
Burgermeister Behold at their head,
and announced their condemnation to
death for their obstinate resistance
and their disobedience to the imperial
commanders.
In vain did the women and children
crowd into the marketplace, throw
ing themselves at the feet of the VIC
tors and begging for mercy. lilly had
already summoned the eXccutioner
when some of the wives succeeded in
pentrating into the council hall. The
conqucror at last allowed himself to
be softened, but he coupled his Glenn
ency with clause that apparently
made it of no avail The senator's
should be spared if one of their num-
Der could empty at draft the great
loving-cup of Tauber wine presented
to the victor.
Hopeless as the case seemed, the
condition was fulfilled by eX-Burger-
mester Nusch. who thus saved his
own life and the lives of his col
leagues.
The cup, which is of glass and holds
about three quarts, is to this day in
the possession of one of the lineal
descendants of the mighty drinker.
Thousands flock from all parts of the
continent of Europe every year to see
the tragedy enacted again. The real
cup is not allowed to be used in the
play, but good imitation is in the
rathhaus.
Rothenburg, although belonging to
the Bayarian monarchy, is to-day as
autonomous as any state in the Amer
lean federation. The bearing of it's
inhabitants has sturdy self.depend-
ence and equality about it which is
surely remnant of the days when

A Woman saddIer.

1t is probable that the only woman
Saddler in America is German wom-
an in Florida. Her usband was a
saddler and harness maker, with a
shop beside the little house in which
they lived. He never made money"
but the two lived frugally and con-
tentedly until his death. Then there
was trouble. The widow owned the
small place, but had no money to live
upon, and the sum 10 be procured by
selling the shop would not count for
much. SO she determined to continue
her husbands business on her own
account, retaining his apprentice. In
the course of time she mastered the
trade and built up fourishing bnsi-
ness, long ago acquiring much
larger bank account than her hus-
band had ever dreamed of accumu-
lating.-N. Y. Tribune.

IT'S a good many year since the
l Britishers found out that the folks
on this side of the water meant bust
ness when they sot up for themselves.
Other folks since then has he'd to de-
clare independence, and fight fur it,
too. I've got story to tell along
that line.
II all come through them turkeys,
Leastways they was the cause of the
declaration, other things havin' bin
leadin' up to it fur long time.
The question wuz about pardner-
ship. What air PARTNERS? Kin man
an woman be pardners, when the
woman is pardner only when she's
got somethin' worth sharin', while
the man is pardner the hull Twin
time? That wuz the pint that both
cred me. 1t don't bother me now,
though.
The way of it wnz this: Me an
Elnathan Jacobs (the grandson of old
Parson Jacobs, that Jacobsville wuz
named fur) hev bin married leetle
over 25 year. We didn't hev an acre
to start on, but we rented a farm,
an by hard work, airly an late, we
got bit ahead every year, till we
bought farm fur ourselves Elnathan
wuz stiddy an Industrious, while l
wuz willin' to work, an willin' to
pinch, an did my full share of it.
Them wuz happy days, in spite of
tiredness an poverty.
The fust shadder of trouble wuz
small in the beginnin', but it growed
till it shut off a lot of sunshine.
Elnathan, he got so in the habit of
savin' and pinchin', he didn't seem
to think we could do any other way,
leastwise in the house, even when we
wuz putin money in the bank every
season. He could buy farm machin-
cry. an fine stock, but there the
spendin' stopped. We wimmen folks
could do without, when conyeniences
wuz talked about.
But | started out to tell about them
turkeys. You see, when we begun,
the eggs an chickens an butter went
to the store fur groceries an clothes
That wuz all we had to buy 'em with,
an ! wuz glad to do that way. AS
we got forehanded, felt as if / ort
to hev the chicken an egg money,
SEEM as how / TUX all the care of the
chickens. Malviny-she's our girl, an
a mighty purity, clever one, if do say
it, as l ortn't to-wanted leetle fiXin's
sech as other girls he'd. The young
fellers liked to shine up to her, an ]
didn't blame 'em mite, but she wuz
that proud-spirited she wouldn't ak

an old-fashioned.
81 wouldn't care, ma" she said, "ef
pa wuz poor, an couldn't afford any
thin better. But everybody knows
he is maxim money, an I'm ashamed
to hev folks see sech lookin' room"
"Why, Malviny," says |, more to
comfort her than anythin' else, fur l
wuz a good deal of her way of think
in, "the parlor carpet wuz new two

Grandma Jacobs dresses in it, a strip
of your Great-aunt James apron, an
scrap of my weddin' dress. I should
think you'd put considerable store
by it."
"Pshaw, mai" she spoke up, 81

the crown Jewels Of Great Britain and
will be worn by Queen Alexandra at

its great size. beauty and value. this
gem has had a history with which

seas OF blood have been shed for its

II will doubtless remain as one Of the
