Won MoItke'S Reticence.

Moltke's reticence was so pro-
verbal that as the kings birthdays
approached there used to be bets
among the officers of the general
staff as to how many words Moltke
would use in proposing the toast of
the day. Some backed nine word
speech, and others put their money
on eight words. Moltke's habit was
to say, ''To the health of his males
ty, emperor and king" or, ''To his
imperial majesty's health"
In 1884 an oyster breakfast was
staked on the marshal's not using
more than nine words. But because
he began with the word gentle
men" the bet was lost. The loser
comforted himself by saying, 'Hes
aging, is Moltke; he's getting loqua-
cious!"

Took Her at Her Word.

A Barney castle story involving
pretty little Irish girl is told in
Dublin. Several visitors were ex-
ploring the famous castle and on
reaching the top became somewhat
nervous owing to the great height.
Presently a young man appeared
and, being stranger, asked to have
the real Barney stone pointed out
to him that he might follow the an
cient custom and kiss the ancient
relic.
This process of kissing the stone
is rather dangerous one, and the
young woman in her nervous state,
not caring to have the feat attempt
ed in her presence, exclaimed, ooh,
please don't kiss the stone while /
am here''
The stranger, it is limited, polite
ly acceded to her request, but not
exactly in the way she meant.

of the greatest deliberate body
on earth" it will not be the
fault of the women of the
United States. They are up III
arms, and declare that Smoot is
polygamist. The latter denies
this and says he is simply a
Mormon, and if he is right can
not be unseated sim oily because
of his religious belief. Should
the women make a clear case OF
it and prove that Smoot has more
than one wife, it is likely to go
hard with him. Senator Smoot
in speaking of his case is report
