MONDAY EVENING. DEC. IS, 1905.
Dimes King in Bathroom.


II was in the bathroom of the Castel-
lanes splendid house in Paris that they
entertained the King Of Portugal on
Tuesday. The bathroom was turned 10
to a diuing-room for the occasion, the
great central tub was covered over and
the faucets we're made to spout as four
fountains from banks of flowers 1t was
very effective, aud the marble walls,
ceiling and pillars were festooned with
blooms, making the chamber in which
Count Boni takes bis morning dip look
like a Roman banqueting hall.
The society journals went into lyric
transports over the scene, but Americans
are laughing over the scene, but Ameri-
cans are laughing over the afair--large-
~ because only three or four of them
were invited.
Around the exquisitely.aPpointed Ia
bles at the dinner stood iootmen innum'
erable, all splendidly liveried and wear
ing old-time ceremonial swords, this last
detail a feature not seen in Paris for just
a century. Count Boni, unlike Presl-
dent Loubet, had been careful 10 provide
for King Carlos's little mania, aud gor-
ceously- -attired functionaries stood be-
hind the royal chair to remove the royal
glass every time the royal lips as much
as touched it.
The King had to hold court on the
great marble staircase. This was because
of the fact that the grand salon is still
unfurnished
The Countess looked charming in a
superb gown, crowned with a diadem OF
diamonds fashioned after tue model OF
one worn by Marie Antoinette,

A MONUMENT IN CONTRAST

MJHEN Mr.. Knox. now Senator from
w Pennsylvania, went to Washington
to take up the portfolio of the Attorney
General, he received a bit of good-natured
chat from his colleagues in the Cabinet by
reason of his d3ninutive stature,
One day Knox was telling Shaw, Secretary of
the Treasury, of a sightseeing trip he had
made about Washington. DO You know,
said he that until this present trip to the
Capital, l never had visited the Washington
Monument Well, I slipped down to-day
and had look at it. Besides that, had my
photo taken while l was standing at the base
Of the shaft"
And how did the monument stand the
contrast; slyly queried Shaw.

an appearance as you might imagine re-
sponded the Attorney General.

GUESSING TIME in COURT

ONE day in referring to humorous hap
~ penings in court, Congressman Champ
Clark told of an important lawsuit tried at
Clay Center, Missouri, in which the testimony
of a small boy touching the period of time re-
quired to get a bucket of water for his mother
became a question OF considerable Importance
to the opposing side
The lad had stated that it took him Just
ten minutes to get the water The opposing
attorneys adopted means, in their questioning
of the lad that were calculated to rattle the
witness but to no avail. Finally one of the
attorneys pulled out his watch, proposing to
test the lads notion of time. The lawyers
who depended upon the boys testimony
strenuousy objected to this course, for 1t Is
well known that nothing is harder than to SIT
still and gage the passing OF time. However,
the Judge ordered the test to be made. The
court clock was stopped, watches were drawn,
and the lad told to begin the test.
After a minute or so the silence in the court
room became oppressive; everyone hdgetcd
nervously, except the youngster, who chewed
gum, swung his foot against the rounds OF his
chair, and gazed placidly over the benches
as though the procedure had little interest
for him. Three four, five, SIX, minutes
passed, and still he made no sign.
Then the lawyers resumed their efforts to
rattle the witness. Isn't the time about
up" asked one.
Nope" answered the boy, chewing gum
harder than ever.
Seven and eight minutes elapsed. Haven't
You got that water pumped YETI said one OF
the attorneys, in a tone intended to convey
the impression that more than ten minutes
had passed.
Reckon not" scntentiously replied the
boy Whereat his own lawyers chuclled.
Then nine minutes passed; and tick, tick,
tick went the seconds toward the ten-minute
mark About four seconds before the limit
set the boy drawled out:
Gents think l got that water drawed
After the trial, when some one asked him
how he had contrived to guess the time so cor

" GOOD-MORNING" IN THE ARCTIC

A WASHINGTON woman one day was
n conversing with Commander Peary,
the Arctic explorer, relative to the customs
Of the Eskimo, when she asked whether that
race had a distinct language.
Quite distinct replied Mr. Peary.
And do you speak it," asked the woman.
YES
How interesting!" she exclaimed. Do
give me an idea of how the language sounds.
For instance, how would an Eskimo say
'Good-morning'?
" He wouldn't say it," gravcly responded
the explorer.
Dear me-" said the woman. Are there
then no social amenities among the Eskimo?"
"On the contrary" said Peary, they are
. comparatively polite people; but in the
country where they abide they would have
occasion to use the expression only once a
year they have no words equivalent to it."

a very enviable reputation during his

from the Naval Academy ON june 30.
He will be succeeded by Lieutenant

many of the duties of the office. Or

little wedding which was desired, by
the contracting parties, to keep a

school attendants happened to be on
the spot.
The contracting parties are Mr.
Henry F. Basil, who in the apple
ton for a license gave his age as %

qquarters to the temporary quarters
which have been provided on the
other side of the building. The office
force was practically undisturbed
