would do. she held that herself, and handed him
the cup the wrong way.
The king said nothing thanked the girl. and
he and his band soon found their way out os
the wood.
But when he reached his palace he determined
to reward the girl for giving him the water and
at the same time to teach her lesson in polite
ness.
Sending to his jeweuer he bade him make
silver cup, with two handles, and deliver it to
the young girl, without a word as TO whence u
came.
Perhaps a month after this the king again
hunted in that same forest sought the hut arI
asked the girl for another drink Of water.
This time she entered the house and came out
with beautiful silver cup. full of the sparkling
water Now" thought the King. "she has Ger
tainly learned lesson" But never was he
more mistaken, for the poor, ignorant girl took
handle in each hand, and for the second time
offered her Hese lord nothing save the side of
the cup.
The King rode away deeply perpIexed. He
resolved 10 teach the girl the polite way TO hand
cup without directly rebuking her and many
were the hours he spent in cudgeling his brains
for some way in which do it. At last a bright
idea struck him. and he sent for his jeweIler Il
second time. Make me-" said he to the man.
"a silver cup heavily chased, and with my
royal crest, and put three handles on it The
jeweller, much surprised-for remember no such
thing had ever been heard of up to this tme-did
as he was told. and soon the mug finished.
AS before, the King had it privately sent 10 the
girl who lived in the little hut.
One day not long after this for the third time
he rode into that forest, and taking the now
well known path, soon reached the cottage.
Dismounting, he knocked at the door and asked
humbly for drink of clear water.
The girl Immediately came out with the beau
tiful three-h handled cup, and taking two of the
handles in her hands she offered him the third.
So the King rode away well pleased with his
strategy and reaching home. ordered three
handled cups to be made in every sort Of ware,
and they became so popular that We now have
them in all our shops and stores.

how they first happened to be made:
Once upon time centuries before Us, there

showed the men the right path. The king was
about to go when he saw a well near the house,

felt thirsty. and going back, asked the girl for

CLOSE OF THE SCHLEY CASE.
RoOsevelt's Decision Must He n P1eaS- ing One to CrowninshieId,
 Hanna and Lemly.

The presidents decision on the ap- peal of Rear Admiral Schley is not a surprise, so far as general results go. It was known that the president had surrounded himself with Schley's enemies. and held aloof from Schleys friends throughout his investigation of this case; and from an atmos- phere so tainted as that with which the president saw fit to surround himself, the production of decision not adverse to Schley would have been miracle, indeed, says the AL bany Argus.
 What was not expected was that the president would out-Crowin- shield Crowninshieid, by attempting to reduce Rear Admiral Schley to the position of somewhat bother some spectator at the battle of San tiago. who did we'll enough so long as he kept out of the way of the fighters.
 As for the captains. in the desire of most of them to magnify their own services, and to prove their abil- ity to fight battle without com mander, they give q depressing ex- hibition of selfshness, upon which it is neither pleasant nor profitable to dwell They would have done better to remember Schley's axiom the guiding principle of the brave officer they have shown themselves so ready to help strike down-that there is glory enough for alL'

 MOST people think that catarrh is a lVA disease confined to the head and
 nose. Nothing is farther from the truth. 1t may be that the nose and throat are the oftenest affected by ca- tarrh, but if this is so it is so only be- cause these parts are more exposed to the vicissitudes of the climate than the other parts of the body.
 Every organ, every duet, every cavity of the human body is liable to catarrh. A multitude of ailments depend on ca tarrh. This is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes many cases of chronic disease, where the victim has not the slightest suspicion that catarrh has any thing to do with.it.
