A rich man who has Joined the null

fortune came to him was entertaining
friends at dinner the other night. The
service was magnificent and so was
the dinner. The wife, gorgeously clad,
reigned over the table. During a lull
in conversation the rich man watched
a servant who was dexterously remov-

looked down the glittering table at
his jeweled wife and remarked:

The Worlds Rarest Bird.

To find the rarest bird in existence
you must go to the mountains between
Anam and Loas, where there is Ger.
tain kind of pheasant. For many
years its existence was known only
by the fact that its longest and most
splendid plume was in much request
by mandarins for their headgear. A
single skin is worth $500, and the
bird living would be priceless, for it
soon dies In captivity.

Queen Victoria Paid a DEBT.

King Edwards appointment of Sir
Evelyn Wood to be a field marshal
has brought out the interesting fact
that the family Of the king was once
deeply indebted to the grandfather OF
Gen. Wood, Matthew Wood, a London
merchant. 1t was through the gen
crosby of the old merchant that the
duke of Kent was able to come to
England from Germany so that the
future Queen Victoria could be born
on British soil. The first baronetcy
bestowed by Queen Victoria upon her
accession was on Matthew Wood.

Banks Burglar Trap Didn't Work.

Banks Burglar Trap Didn't Work.
In its account of the recent bank
burglary at Allen, the Emporia (Kan.)
Gazette explains that the, trap set by
the bank for robbers did not work.
The trap in question is unique enough
to be interesting. "Above the vault"
says the Gazette, "was a thin ceiling
and about ton of sand above it.
This was there in case cracksmen
should attempt to blow open the safe,
when the ceiling would burst at the
explosion and the sand fill the vault,
making it impossible to get at the
safe. However, the ceiling did not
burst and the sand remains undis-
turbed.-Kansas City (Mo.) Journal.
