king Victor Is Thrifty.

King Victor Emmanuel Of Italy
recently in the interests of economy
had been cutting down the number
Of clerks in a government depart
ment, and had received a remon-
STRANGE from the head, who said he
was short-handed. The king, being
ian early riser, went down to that de-
aartment at nine o'clock in the morn
hg, and, finding no clerks there,
sat down to wait till they arrived.
II was not until II that the first
clerk turned up, and found that he
lad been keeping the king waiting
for a couple Of hours. The king re-
served his wrath for the head of the
department. who had said he was
short-handed,

FUNERAL FLOWERS.
Hospitals Do Not Like to Receive
Elaborate Floral Pieces.

Elaborate Floral Pieces.
"What in the world inspires people
to send elaborate and costly floral
pieces directlyfrom a funeral to hos
pital:" said an official of Bellevue
hospital the other day, when an un-
dertaker unloaded a dozen anchors,
harps, pillows, etc, on the hospital
lawn, according to the New York
Sun.
"This is only M case out Of many
in which people who think they are
doing an act Of kindness get no
thanks whatever for their pains.
What do you imagine would be the
feelings of a score Of patients, some
of whom are dangerously i'll, if they
saw that big floral harp placed in a
conspicuous position in the ward,
knowing, as they certainly would,
what purpose the flowers had recent
ly served? Would the thought that
their own friends might be contrib
uting floral pieces before long hasten
their recovery to any extentf"
81 won't allow such things in my
ward" said a house physician. "The
patients simply won't have them be-
cause they know Immediately what
use they have been put to-"
As for these particular flowers
they were left on the lawn unit
nurses and hospital employees WIT
didn't care what they had been useC
for carried them away and relieved
the hospital authorities of thu
trouble Of disposing of them.
Many undertakes separate tn
funeral flowers from the wire frame
work, and turn them in to the hos
pitfalls in the shape Of bouquets, max
ing them both useful and acceptable
and destroying the evidences Of tn
purposes which they have served.

THE GAME OF GOSSIP.
How a Story Grows on Its Way
from Person to Person.

from Person TO Person.
Examples of the way in which
stories grow by repetition until the
real fact in the case is lost in vague
and uncertain statements are illus
tratted by this story from the Wash
ington Post, told by a woman who
had been spending some time in a
winter resort.
"0f course l made many acquain-
tances at the hotel" she said, "and
one day Mrs. Jones was rather rude.
l didn't care particularly for Mrs.
Jones, but l was curious to know why
she had acted as she did, for she had
been especially cordial to me; so |
asked Mrs. Smith.
'Mrs. Smith said that Mrs. Jones
said she had been told that | had
spoken Of her as a smart Aleck,'
Mrs. Smith further stated that ii was
all over the place that | had used the
expression. She said Mrs. Brown had
told Mrs. Jones.
81 went to Mrs. Brown and asked
her about it. She said that Mrs.
Green had told her / said it. went
to Mrs. Green, and she admitted tell
ing Mrs. Brown that l had said Mrs.
Jones wss entirely too smart; not a
smart Aleck,' but entirely too smart.
Mrs. Green had not heard me say it,
but Miss Grey, who told her, had.
81 went to Miss Grey. Miss Grey
declared that she had it from Mrs.
White that / had said Mrs. Jones was
too smart, not entirely too smart,
Just too smart So l went to Mrs.
White.
"Mrs. White stood firm. She said
l had called Mrs. Jones too smart
and she heard me say it clear across
the room, and that Mrs. Black wai
with me when | said it.
81 went then to Mrs. Black and put
the matter 10 her. Mrs. Black is al
Englishwoman. l asked her wher
and where l had spoken i'll Of Mrs
Jones. She could NOT remember a
first; then after a bit she began t
laugh.
"I know how the story started
!, now she said. Don't you remembe
! the cloudy morning when you and
. were sitting in the parlor, and Mrs
Jones came through dressed in tina
blue foulard? said when saw her
: "How smart Mrs. Jones is to-day?
. and YOU said: "Too smart for a da
. like this. It's going to rain."'
"And there ii all was. I ha
! thought Mrs. Jones too smartl
> dressed to venture forth under
= threatening sky. Did | go to Mr.
Jones? No. Twas 50 disguised wit
the whole affair that l never mel
toned the matter again, and | SUI
" pose Mrs. Jones will always believ
!. that | called her a smart Aleck.'
