Jewels in Bed 100 Years.

A young chauffeur, who had lodg
ings in a hotel in the Rue Boccador
Paris, France, had recently been com
planning to the hotelkeepers that his
bed was so uncomfortable as to pre-
vent him from sleeping. In vain they
changed the mattresses and pillows:
the feeling of discomfort persisted
until the young man started to inves
tigate for himself. Feeling that thu
bolster contained something hard, b,
ripped it open and found a woodel
box. Inside he discovered ten golt
watches of the time of Louis XIV, and
several other articles of valuable jew
elry. with newspaper clippings bear
ing the date of 1897.
The police on investigation found
that the bolster had been bought by
the hotelkeeper from his predecessor
and that the jewelry and watches had
probably been hidden in the bolster
during the troubles following the
French revolution, and had remained
for more than a century without ar
owner. 1t is probable that the chauf
feur will be allowed to retain the
treasure.

Few Good Rea ding Clerks

"The meeting of congress reminds
me that it is one of the rarest things
in the world to find good reading
clerk" said an old reporter, land
there is, suppose, very good reason
for it. AS matter of fact, it takes a
peculiar type of man to make read

men who can read well for a while.
But the man wanted by the large de-
Lucrative bodies must be able to sus-
tain himself, and in order to do this
he must learn how to control his
voice. In fact, he must be as careful
of his voice as the artistic singer

to deal with on account of the charac-

difficulties. During the last national

Rare Old Tokav Wine,

81 visited cellar of Tokay last
week." said a hotelkeeper. "Tokay is
the only wine that keeps on improv
ing indefinitely. There was wine
nearly 30 years old in the cellar. Its
price on the market would be easily
$50 quart.
'The cellar was very carefully kept.
I seemed to inhale cool, velvety whiffs
of rich fungus at every step. A slight
haze hung along the top of the pas
sages-a haze that seemed to be made
of the visible aroma of rare wine.
II was surprised to see that the bot
ties were kept upright, and that the
corks were very loosely inserted. Old
Tokay must be kept like that to main
tain perfect condition for it, and,
thanks to the loose corks, sample,
even of the Oldest vintage may be
taken out and tasted at any moment.
A bottle of Tokay may be shaken
without turning turbid.
Nobody knows why old Tokay is so
good. It is no longer made-just as
genuine Madeira is no longer made.
The secret is lost, like the secrets of
the old Persian rugmakers."

Disraeli and His Ancestry

Even in old age, when he was jour-
neying to the grave full of honors,
Lord Beaconsfield spoke proudly of
his Hebrew ancestry; but Mr.. Lucien
Wolf is at some pains to prove that
the whole story of the Disraelis, as
set forth in his memoir of his father,
is, to say the least, unreliable. Says
Mr.. Wolf:
"The statement that the name Dis
raeli had never been borne before or
since by any other family is only
true of Lord Beaconsfield himself, for
he was the first Disraeli His father
to the end of his days spelt his name
D'Israeli, and his grandfather, who
first adopted the nobiliary particle.

his father before him, as simple Is

the conduct of Samuel against Agag.

Mr.. Wolf traces the obscure origin

certain Benjamin DIsraeli was born
at Certo, Ferrara, the family having
probably come from the Levant. This

satisfactory. 1t was impossible to
hear the clerks a short while after
they began to read. They would pitch
their voices in key so high that col
lapse vocally was inevitable. The
voices would soon become husky and
the men could not be heard at all.
Another man would be pressed into
service with the same result. =,
"On account of these difficulties 10
required the services of a number of
men to get the platforms and resolu-
lions before the conventions. And at
that the reading was of a most unsat-

On both sides of the great contro-

in the middle of the seventeenth cen

side, the minds of men were devoted,
not to seeking that peace which was

Testament, but to finding warrant for
war-and especially the methods of
the chosen people in waging war
against unbelievers-in the Old Tesla
ment. Did any legislator or professor

Meant 1t Just the Same.

Judge Wade, Iowa congressman, is
accounted very bright man, and en-
joys the most pleasant personal rela-
tons with his Republican colleagues.
They fought him bitterly in the last
campaign and encompassed his politi-
cal downfall. But when the delega-
ton had occasion recently to come to-
gether in one room these same Repub-
licans were very complimentary in
their remarks about him.
"Those sayings are very nice" said
Wade, after listening awhile, "but the
situation is very much like that of a
fellow who had been run out of a field
by great big bull. The animal, hav-
ing driven him over the wall, stood
near by gently nodding his horned
head, as though the elected citizen

II think they had got it into their
heads that l wanted to marry her.
Well, l didnt-not then. I went
around to her place, don't you know,
because she was jolly clever little
woman and ripping good locker.
Sometimes she made me feel like a
fool, because she was so jolly clever,
but she always gave me good time
and l brought her flowers and candy
and all that sort of thing, don't you
know.
"And then the secret of the casket
came out. A woman who knew the
DuPages down South was visiting the
Kerners and she told them that the
casket held the last mortal remains
of Willie DuPage. He was a crema-
ton crank and he had the casket
made before he died to hold his ashes.
and he made Eulalie promise to keep
it with her wherever she went. That

panels was funeral torch-classic,

fed Love triumphing over death. The
motto meant In Eternal Remem-
brance.'

right over to Mrs. DuPage and told
her what I'd heard and how jolly sor-
ry was for her. And she looked at
me with those big eyes Of hers SO
gratefully and thanked me for my
sweet sympathy so prettily began to
wish that she hadn't been so fond of
DuPage. She gave me her hand, too,
and couldn't help keeping it, don't
you know; it was so little and soft
and warm and it sent such funny little
thrills up my arm and all over me
that it was doocid pleasant. After a
while she told me how much my
friendship had been to her. And then
she remembered that I was still hold
ing her hand and took it away.
