William Waldorf Astor, before he
set out for his English home. said.
apropos OF the Russo-Japanese war:
Nations engaged in war not only
harm each other. but they lay them
selves open to harm at the hands Of
all sorts of other nations.
I'm fact, two nations at war are in
the defenseless and gullible position
OF certain English married couple.
This couple will fall out and cease
to speak to one another for year or
more at time. They have beauti-
full country house. and there Is = Ger
tain elderly matron, a great bore, who
visits them continually.
Some one asked this matron which
of the pair was always inviting lusr
She answered frankly:
Neither invites me ever. but since
they don't speak to each other. each
always thinks I'm the others guest :"

He Must Have Been.

The late Postmaster General Payne

Milwaukee man said of him.,
Payne, in his youth. was most

his speech.

"One night our ward escaped from

told me the next morning how he had
found him. and when said: Was he
drunk Payne with little laugh Of
disgust, answered:

An Astonishlno Feat.

The knowledge possessed by Mrs.
Leonard, champion money-counter Of
the treasury. Of the details OF the
various notes that have been issued
by the government during the last
half-century is SO absolutely accurate
that all money suspected of being
counterfeit is submitted for her
opinion. Not long ago she declared
that certain note which passed
through her hands was counterfeit
Others in her department declared 1t
genuine. Even those at the head of
the department thought she was
wrong. But she would not reverse her
judgment.
The note was sent to the Bureau
of Printing and Engraving, and the
expert there said 1t was 'nuine. Still
she held to her opinion. Tie note was
laid aside, and later description Of
1t was discovered among the records
of counterfeits in another department.

Thanks to his diplomacy in coaxing
and wheedling, Hans German had at
last succeeded in gathering together
the theatrical troupe that was to bring
him fame and money In the wealthy
United States. 1t was with sigh OF
relief that he heard the order to cast
of. as he stood on the deck of the
Rhineland In the midst of his assem-
bled company.
Meanwhile the company themselves
looked critically at each other. They
were quite well satisfied on the whole.
but there was one discordant note
amid the harmonious concert. The
two leading ladies' declared war at the
very start.
One, Fraulein Barcon. was tall and
thin. scarcely pretty. but. in her own
opinion. at least. her lack Of flesh was
mark Of the greatest distinction.
and she was prouder of 1t than
duchess of her quarterings. The 9TH
.er. Fraulein Brussel, was the living
antithesis to her rival; short, plump,
golden-haired and extremely pretty.
she was as little like the naughty
duchess as possible The reason for
their rivalry was not far to seek. All
the men of the troupe, including the
1apguishing dark-eyed tenor, were
wildly in love with the pretty Brussel
who. although she did not care a jot
for any of them. dangled them in pub
lie before the eyes of the lonely and
deserted Fraulein Barcon.
The journey was long and painful
one. anu Herr German uttered sec.
.ond heartfelt SIGH when he finally
landed his company on the dock at
New Orleans. Then came the dim

least by meeting constantly the black

them and often after her meal Frau

into a reception room. and take part

plicable how fate could have had the
courage to show herself SO terrible to
such q radiant little singer.
Nevertheless, when she appeared in
the coquetish costume of the
Princess Eudoxia, with her plump lit
tie self encased in short rosy petit
coats, she was greeted with an out.
burst OF laughter and Kisses. The un-
plying audience paid no attention to
her good full voice and clever acting.
and the poor little operate star was
promptly quenched.
The night after the sad event. as
she sat alone weeping in her room.
she received a call from her friendly
landlord.

hands in his wrath; you have been
