Peter Newell, the artist, was camp
Ing out in Colorado at one time, living
In a tent News came of a nocturnal
murder in the neighborhood, and con-
siderable uneasiness was manifested
by some members of the family. Mr..
Newell thereupon cut out some sill
houettes representing men Of the
toughest western type, all with pistols
in their belts and in the attitude Of
men intensely interested in a game Of
poker. The silhouettes Mr.. Newell
fastened to the inner canvas of the
tent. At night the family, stepping
outside into the darkness to view the
result, were entranced with its success.
The shadows thrown from the sill
houettes In the lighted interior indi-
Gated a tent filled with poker playing,
pistol shooting desperadoes. Thence
forth the Newell family slept In pas
toral peace.

Emperor Frederick William Of Prus-
STA sometimes would signify his rejec-
ton of what he considered an absurd
petition by drawing on the margin an
ass head and ears. One day, a baron
of ancient patent having complained Of
another baron taking precedence OF
him, the king wrote on the petition:
Mere folly. Whether man sits above
me or below me, my birth remains the
same" Oftentimes he would ask peo-
pie in the streets who they were, a pc
culiarity which made nervous people
evade the royal presence. One day
when a man saw the king approaching
he took to his heels and ran, but Fred
erick William pursued him In hot
haste and when he overlook him asked,
"Why did you run away from meT
"From fear" answered the man.
whereupon his majesty gave him a
heavy thwack with his cane and said
that he wished himself to be loved and
not to be feared"
