Chased by an Emperor.

Emperor Frederick William Of Prus-
sia 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, 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 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 mew
From fear" answered the man,
wbereupon his majesty gave him a
heavy thwack with his cane and said
that he wished himself to be loved and
not to be feared"

why we sax Bandbox.

'srhe collars worn by the English In
the seventeenth century," said an old
hat dealer, were big, starched things
a good deal like a ruff. Sometimes in
deed they were bigger than the biggest
ruff. They required a box of a good
size to be carried about in.
"These collars were called bands.
Ben Jonson in 'Volpone' says, This
band shows not my neck enough
Steele says, The next that mounted the
stage was an under citizen of the bath,
person remarkable among the infe-
rior people of that place for his great
wisdom and his broad band
Bands, you see, were collars, and by
the same token bandboxes were collar
boxes, They were big and round, just
big enough to carry clean, well
starched band-just as big, In fact, as
they are today.
Whenever, therefore, you talk Of
bandboxes you are unconsciously re-
ferring to the collars as huge as ruffs
that the English of the seventeenth
century wore"

Irritation and Pain.

A sharp definition should be drawn
between irritation and pain. Irritation
is not pain, but only frequent cause
of it. Thus crumb lodged in the
larynx near the vocal cords produces
violent irritation and prolonged cough
ing, which often result in actual pain,
So, too, specl of dust in the eye sets
up violent irritation and inflammation,
followed by acute pain. OF the sur
face of the body the finger tips and the
end of the tongue are most sensitive
for instance. burn on the fingers is
much more painful than one on the
back would be, while one on the tongue
would be more painful still Deep
wounds are not painful as a rule, save
as regards the surface injury.
The Threat a1d Tonsils.
A simple gargle for a sore throat
may be made by adding fifteen drops
of refined carbollc acid to quart of
water. Remember to shake thorough
ly before using otherwise 1t will be
useless and gargle four or FIVE times
day, In case Of swollen tonslls tea
spoonful Of powdered tannin dissolved
in a tumbler Of water forms an excel
lent gargle, which should be used ev-
cry two hours A garglc Of perman-
ganate Of potash, not too strong, is al
SO excellent for use In cases Of mild
sore throat. la

MIL WAUk[E HAS
VAST AMBITION
REGARDING GRAIN
Expects by the Erection of Two
Elevators to Divert Traffic
Now Going East by Way of
Chicago.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 25.-The
Journal says that Milwaukee will be
made the grain storage center of the
Middle West by the erection of two
large modern elevators at cost OF
100000 each. One elevator will be
built by the Milwaukee road and the
other by private corporation, organ
lied for the purpose of doing away
with the excess rates which are now
said to be charged by the railroad
companies transferring the grain to the
roads operating in the city, at the ex-
pense to the consignees.
The completion Of the elevators will
mean an enormous increase in the
shipping now, done from Milwaukee
harbor and the diverting of all the
grain which now goes to Chicago
bound for the East into the Milwaukee
elevators.

VIENNA, July 25.-Details received
from Budapest regarding the suffering
of an infantry regiment from the ex-
traordinary heat during a maneuver
march from Trebinye to Bilek, last
Monday, on which 450 men were pros
trated, indicate that bad handling Of
the regiment was largely responsible.
The troops are alleged to have been
burdened with extra equipment, in
addition to the usual heavy marching
order, and were engaged two hours in
a sham fight. This necessitated a
forced march In the hottest hours Of
the day. The colonel commanding the
regiment refused to grant the request
of some of his officers that the SOL
dierS be allowed to rest, though he
himself was incapacitated, being oblig-
ed to finish the march in a carriage.
Before reaching Bilek the men fell
out of the ranks by scores. Nine died
Immediately and twenty-five were car
ried off insensible, six of whom died
soon after reaching the hospital. Sew
enty others are in serious condition.
During the march the thermometer
registered 125 degrees in the sun.
The captain of a company which
was operating independently ordered
a halt and rested his men during the
worst two hours of the day and
brought his command in without
citement exists in civil and military
circles over what is termed the un-
justifiable handling of troops in time
of peace. The war office has issued an
official statement in which it is de-
clared that every precaution was OBJ
served and that the death of the men
was unavoidable.

CHIEF CONROY
CHANGES A FIFTY
Act of Kindness Is Costing Him
Many Cigars for ThoseWho
Know Details.

Superintendent Of Police Conroy, of
Minneapoli is being victimized to the
tune Of innumerable cigars because of
little contretemps that occurred at
the sangerfest picnic at Spring Park
on Friday afternoon.
Conroy went out with a posse of Of
ficers to see that everything was done
up according to police regulations, and
that the 5000 people on the picnic
grounds did not get trimmed by any OF
the sure thing" men who were known
to have fioated in for the occasion.
The chief was standing near steam
boat dock, waiting for a friend who
was to tour him around the lake in an
automobile, when a tall young man,
accompanied by two rather engaging
girls confronted Conroy with a hurry
had tried to get fifty split at the
hotel and on the grounds. but nobody
seemed to have SO much change. The
young man was In a dilemma. because
he wanted to pay for steamer he had
chartered
Conroy always has a bunch of the
ready in his clothes. and he produced
about 5000 in SO. $40 and $5 bills. from
which he withdrew four tens and two
fives, handing them to the young man,
who, not to be outdone. produced roll
as big as a washerwoman's arm. COM
posed entirely of hundreds and fifties.
Chief Conroy was SO impressed that
he accepted the fifty-dollar bill tender
ed him without question and added 1t
to his own bundle. The grateful youth
and his two feminine companions dis
appeared. and it was not until fifteen
minutes later that Conroy. having eoc-
casion to buy himself cigar. once
more produced his wad. Then there
dawned on him the horrifying con-
sciousness that he had been bilked.
The $50 was a New Brunswick propo-
sition, long ago called in and obsolete
as legal tender. The chief looked
stealthily about to make sure that no
one had observed his discofture, pulled
his straw hat tightly on his massive
brow and started on still hunt for the
bad young man.
Later in the afternoon there was a
sensation. Conroy had the bad yonug
man backed into corner and was
fixing to clap the darbies on him. when
the mention Of a familiar name and a
glimmer Of recognition permeated his
brain.
The young man reiterated his name,
both of the young women vouched for
it, two more young men in f1annels and
an air of distinction insisted that the
superintendent of police had made an
error.
That's right" retorted the chief,
'and I'm $50 out of pocket by it at
present.
The young man promIgly acknowl-
edged the $50 transaction. heard with
amazement that the bill was a counter
felt, promptly replaced it with an
other that bore the genuine stamp,
apologized profusely and made his es-
cape, followed by half a dozen other
young persons of both sexes. all of
them laughing immoderately.
1t may be added that while Conroy
is spending his recovered $50 for ci-
gars. there is sadly badgered youth
at the Minnetonka club. whose bill for
champagne will run into the hundreds.
Conroy says it is poor rule that won't
work both ways.
