Tho Tempter Won.

When the late Baron Nordenskj old
was at Ceylon on the way home from
his journey along the northern coast OF
Siberia. he received a telegram from
the Russian government asking him
whether he would accept from the car
a certain decoration as an appreciation
Of his services to Russia. For many
days the famous explorer wavered. as
he was member Of Bjorsterne Rjorn-
sons Authorization club, whose men,
bers were solemnly pledged never to
accept any decoration from anybody.
Nordenskjold. however, could not re.
sist the temptation. so he replied to the
telegram In the affirmative.
1t Is not hard to imagine his disap-
pointment when. upon reaching home,
q friend Of his, high official, told him
the following: "The Russian govern
ment was we'll aware Of your antago-
nistic views in regard to decorations
and dad. therefore. placed In readiness
100000 rubles to be paid you in the
event of your refusing to accept the
insignia, but before paying that sum
they wanted to try your firmness. Rus
sia Is certainly grateful to you for your
failure to live up to your pledge"

A Singular Bequest.

A peculiar fate Is said to overhang
the family Of the late Sir Julian Gold
smid. An ancestor of his, so says the
legend, once gave shelter to a rabbi,
who, at his death, left to him bequest
of mysterious box, which was on no
account to be opened until after the
customary seven days Of mourning. II
opened before that time. a curse would
fall upon the family.
Curiosity got the better Of supersti-
ton, and the box was opened before
the seven days were up. In 1t was
found a document which said that as
the injunction Of the rabbi had not
been needed no future owner of the es-
tate would be succeeded by a son. And
such, strangely enough, has been the
case ever since.

A Judicial RetOrt.

Sir william Meredith. chief justice OK
Ontario, Canada, was formerly very
prominent politician rs well as IA
nous lawyer. He was especially noted
for his success rs prosecuting attor'
ney, and few criminals escaped convic'
ton when he addressed the jury.
During one Of his political campaigns
he was speaking at a meeting IN the
city of London, his native town. The
audience was turbulent and he was
frequently interrupted. Finally voice
from the gallery cut into one OF his
finer flights with a sarcastic "Oh. so
and get your hair cut!"
Sir william. who wore his hair
somewhat longer than Is usual. was
stopped by burst Of laughter. But
as soon as he was able to make him.

the audience by this reply: MY friend,

Ne CcIsAt the Car.

The man dashed down the street an.
er the retreating State street car.
Every muscle was strained; his
breath came In quick gasps: the beads
Of moisture stood out upon his fore
head. His feet were working like the
pedals on a bicycle. He only touched
the ground in the more altitudinous
places.
"IIl-c catch t-street-car," he
gasped, Tor die"
Faster went the street car. Faster
went the man.
He overturned fruit stands and aged
blind men In his wild career. He
knocked down children and trampled
upon them. But onward he rushed.
He collided with a baby buggy. The
baby was knocked into the street. The
mother of the child picked 1t up. She
pointed q finger at the disappearing
form of the man. "Murdererg' she
Missed through her clinched teeth.
He draws nearer to the car-nearer

He reaches out his hand.
He touches the rail on the rear plat

He gives one last convulsive effort.
He is on the car.
He sinks breathless into a seat and
mops his brow. The conductor touches
him on the shoulder.

A number of Partisan financiers were
recently defrauded of very consider

relied for the success Of his scheme en-
tirely upon the peculiar properties Of
iodide of starch. Posing as man Of
considerable wealth, whose money was

pretending to have the option Of some
valuable concessions in China, he OBJ.

No one for a moment suspected that
there was anything In the least degree
shady about the man or his transac.
lions, and when he made 1t public that
he had been successful in selling his
Chinese concession at large profit his
creditors felt absolutely certain that
he would meet his bills.
To their immense surprise, however.
when they came to look through their
papers to find the bills they only found
bills with blank spaces In the places
where the swindler's name should have
been and had actually been. They
clamored round him for an explanation
Of the strange affair. but he denied that
he had ever given any Of them bills and
defled them to sue him for repayment
Of the loans, and the fact that the bills
were devoid of the swindler's sigma
ture rendered them absolutely worth.

The matter was put into the hands Of
the police, who were able to discover
that in signing the bills the man had
