than those high officials. Johnson was
an insurance collector and is said to
have misappropriated $500.

The Eir.t French Navy.

Away back In the eighth century
Charlemagne had organized a sort OF
coast guard hy enrolling all the sea
board population who lived within one
and a half miles Of the shore, but
with the dismemberment Of the vast
Carlovingian empire all dreams Of ma
val greatness were dissipated. Long
pfterward Charles V. built some mil
itary nefs on the Atlantic. and Louis
MIS- galleys chased the Barbary pi-
rates who infested the shores OF the
Mediterranean. but II was Francis /.
apparently who first conceived the idea
Of war fleet. purchased and equipped
from the royal treasury.
He converted the small fishing VII
lage of Havre into fortified port,
which speedily attracted commerce to
the mouth Of the Seine. and he pro-
jected scheme-which he did not live
to realize-for the construction OF an
oceanic navy under canvas. Fleets
were massed In the Mediterranean"
writes Mr.. Norman In his "Corsairs Of
France" "and for the first time In
history a French squadron, passing
through the strait Of Gibraltar, de-
feated an English fleet Off Brest, and
then, moving round to the eastward.
drove off the blockading squadrOns OF
Henry VIII. from Boulogne."

I'm Boston In the evening and went 10
the old fremont House for the night.
All he had with him was an old carpet

clerk he was informed that. having no
baggage, he would be expected to pay
In advance.
"All right" said he. reaching into his

and said:

bishop Clark and the Polite Stranger.
There was no limit to the humorous
situation for which the Right Rev.
Thomas L. Clark, bishop Of Rhode
Island, was responsible. Some years
ago while attending lecture In Bos-
ton he observed man sitting three
seats In front whom he thought he
knew. He requested the person sitting
next to him to punch" the other in
dividual with his umbrella.
The polite stranger did so and, the
disturbed person turning his head Il
little, Bishop Clark discovered his mis-
take. 1t was not the person he sup
posed. Fixing his attention steadfast
ly on the lecturer and affecting uncon-
sciousness Of the whole affair he left
the man with the umbrella to settle
with the other for the disturbance, and.
this man being wholly without an ex-
cuse, there was, Of course, II ludicrouS
and embarrassing scene. during all Of
which Bishop Clark was profoundly in
terested in the lecture.
At last the man with the umbrella
asked. rather Indignantly. Didn't you
tell me to punch that person with my
umbrela?"
YES"
"And what did you want?"
II wanted to see whether you would
punch him or not."-Boston Herald.

pn.snort 20 the North Pole.

A passport to the north pole was Is
sued some years ago by the governor
Of the province Of Tobolsk, which
stretches along the Russian shores OF
the Arctic ocean. The official WAS ap-
preached by two men who had been
engaged to proceed to the north with
an English expedition. then fitting out.
Their petition was for passport to
the pole itself, but the governor point
ed out that the pole was as likely to
be In their home province rs in any
other. that 1t was extremely unlikely
they would reach It and that, II they
did. there were no police there to ex-
anime their credentials. At last, how
ever, to satisfy them he ordered the
issue of a document allowing them to
pass without let or hindrance to the
north pole.
