A Persian Solomon.

OF the distinguished authos OF
Persia none, perhaps, has enjoyed a
wider popularity than Sadi, who lived
in the thirteenth century. He was a
traveller and close observer, and his
anecdotes and short stories are des-
cribed as being founded on his own
experiences and observations. In
Persian Poetry for English Readers
HIr. 3. Robinson quotes the following
from Sadi's writings:
A pupil said to his instructor,
What am 1 to do, for people incom-
mode me with the frequency of their
visits to such degree that their con-
versation produces a great distraction
of ny valuable timer"
The teacher replied: ITO every
one yho is poor, lend; and from
every one who is rich. borrow. They
will not come about you again.
Another example embodies excel
lent advice: A silly fellow, having a
pain in his eyes, went to a farrier
ard asked him for a remedy The
farrier applied to his eyes something
which he would have given to an
animal, and it blinded him, upon
which they. made an appeal to the
magistrate The magistrate said:
This is no case for damages. 1t is
plain that this fellow is an ass, or
he would not have gone to a farrier''

Not Much Romance Connected With
the Divine Passion To-day.
A dreamer and a man of action
loved a woman.
The dreamer said: 81 shall write
verses in her praise; they will touch
her vanity, and she will love me for
them
But the man of action said: "How
old-fashfoned. shall corner the stock
market, and that will bring her.
So the dreamer wrote verses, and he
induced a friend of his, who ran 10
cent magazine. to print them. And
the man of action cornered something
or other, and became a Millionaire.
In the meantime the girl married q
man VINO inherited his money, and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud of his
verses that he didn't care, and the
man of action was SO busy that he
didn't care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married.-Smart Set.

A few years ago a Boston woman
was staying in Paris, and with her
was New York widow of the prim-
NEST type. Among their acquaint-
ances by letters of Introduction was
Frenchman who knew his Paris like
a book. and very agreeable and de-
lightful gentleman in every sense of
the word. He proved to be guide and
friend, obtaining entree for them to
private picture galleries and studios
where strangers would give their eyes
to go, but without avail. One day he
asked if the two ladies would like to
visit Bougereaus atelier, and they
Immediately accepted the invitation,
at the same time suggesting that an
American friend with two young
daughters, might join the party.
Surely yes, and the group set forth
to the studio the next day.
Ascending the stairs, the gentle
man went first, the three ladies fol
lowing, with the young daughters in
the rear. A rap on the door was
answered by "Entrez," and enter they
did to benold three or four men
smoking, while a fair model posed
under the bright light in the alto
gether.
There was shrek in the vernacu-
lar, the young girls were shooed
down stairs as the. door banged to,
and The prim Boston and New York
ladies retired with much dignity to
their carriage below, while their es-
cort saw Bougereau about it, Apollo
gies were profuse, and two minutes
later the entire party assembled again,
and this time they found the room va
cant, not a trace of the smokers or
the model, and the artist met them as
serene as a moonbeam

attired in riot of colors, sit in cart
which is pushed instead of pulled by
the little animal. The wagon is guided
by a wooden steering wheel. The en-

The best known professional demon
strator in the country is Miss Vir-

priced. Perhaps that is not saying a
great deal nowadays, because the
wages have been decreasing since the
business became more popular and
less exclusive. A few years ago Miss
Pope could, like most specialists, COM
mand her own price and insist on a
contract. Nowadays the men and wo

Billionaire's Busy NIGHT

That famous billiozaire, ar. Key
worth Joynes, president of the Cake
Trust, was preparing to leave his
Office at Fifth Avenue and Sixty-sixth
Street, the financial center of the city,
for his residence in Chicago, now ex-
tending all around the shores of the
Great Lakes, and the favorite dwell
ing place for people of fashion. He
touched button. His Office chemist
appeared armed with a curious piece
of apparatus. Already Mr.. Joynes was
reclining upon a steel couch of some
what unusual shape.
Suspend my animation said the
Millionaire, briefly, ''and tube me
direct to my house,
Without a word the chemist applied
an electrode to Joyres' mouth, and
another to his nose. In two seconds
he ceased to breathe. In two seconds
more, as the attendant touched a but
ton, the couch shut up in a cylindrical
shape, and vanished with a great
rushing sound through a hole in the
wall, which opened suddenly at its
foot. The couch was cartridge, and
Joynes was on his way in his private
tube to his luxurious home beyond
the Lakes and the headwaters of the
Mississippi. The transit consumed
exactly five minutes. With another
great rushing sound the cartridge slid

chemist was in waiting and a few
moments sufficed to restore IoyneS'
suspended animation. The CHI enlist
vanished, a valet appeared and the
president of the Cake Trust proceeded
IN a leisurely manner to dress for
dinner. Afterward he sat some time
over his cigar-seemingly in deep
thought.
Presently he rang. A solemn butler
appeared.
Tell the dining room chemist 1 am
ready said the Millionaire, without
looking up.
The butler retired noiselessly and
Joynes rose from his chair and
strolled toward a curtained recess,
where stood a couch similar to the
one that had brought him to his pal

he had settled himself to his salts

aire, and a couple of seconds sufficed
to start him whizZing through the
earth toward that famous gathering
place of the arbiters of finance and
fashion in the heart of the city of
London. The cartridge dropped into
its place in the club tuberoom, one of
the staff of club chemists set the new
arrivals lungs going again, and in less
than eleven minutes after leaving his
dining room Joynes was walking
through lofty apartments ten thou

with the presidents OF other trusts
and leaders of the realm of fashion
he sat down and ordered drink of
plain whisky. Then at his imperative
ring a bell boy appeared.

The Sports of Gentlemen.

With reference to the report that he
won 100000 on the races in San
Francisco Col. Gates merely remarks
that he does not see how the public
can be interested in the customary
relaxation of a gentleman. And that's
right If the colonel should win $780,
600, coo, 600, now, the episode would be
worthy of mention. The other is
trifie which does not deserve chron-
icing.

the vast pile, an aged senescha1, ar
rayed in orange livery, undrew the
bolts and peered at the visitor.
THE Baroness said Joynes, els

Madame bid me to expect a gentle
man of foreign speech at ten hours.
Mein Herr is without doubt the. Excel

hour early. 1t is, NIGHT wahr, the
Excellency Aller-Kuchen-Handl g.

The visitor acknowledged the i'm
posing title.
"A note, then, from Madame the
Baroness for mein Herr continued
the old man, extending a dainty bit
of paper sealed with the Baroness's
crest-an armed man riding upon an
aurochs.
Joynes eagerly tore upon the en-
velope. In the light of the electric
cluster that hung from the portcullis
arch he read:
Dear Keyworth-So sorry. Meet
me at the Grand Opera house in
johannesburg at eTeven tonight
Hastily.
"ARETHUSA Won O."
Joynes rushed out and climbed once
more into his hired motor car. An
other wild dash through the night and
; was back at Eofbrau. From Hof
brau he was tubed to Rome-from
home to Cairo-from Cairo direct to
johannesburg. 1t was not much after
ten when he shot from the Grand
Opera House tube into his private
box-where his box chemist was in
attendance during the entire opera

ed arrival. Joynes seated himself
and gazed across at the Baroness

ent in all the jewels. of her illustri-
Gus house and surrounded by some
of the richest men of the age.
When the curtain fell on the second
act the president of the Cake Trust
made his way to the Baroness box
