Louis XIV. of France had in his
court a nobleman known to be in
ordinately anxious for distinction.
One day the king asked him if he
understood the Spanish language.
"No, SIRE" was the answer.
"That is unfortunate" said the
king.
The nobleman at once conjectured
that the king wished to make him
ambassador to Madrid, and, employ
ing a teacher, he forthwith applied
himself day and night to acquiring
the language. At last, pale and ex-
hausted, but with a satisfied, ex-
pectant look upon his face, he came
to the king with the announcement !:
F'Sire, l can now speak Spanish"

enough to converse intelligently
with a Spaniard ?"

Mr.. Maxwell told the boy to go

''Have you been to an oculist ?"
asked his teacher.
"No, ma'am," was the response.

and lucrative business and is indeed
worthy of mention in our list of Prom

Mr.. KaZmaier was born in Perrys-

course in the common schools of the
town and township, he commenced
learning the cigar makers trade with
Nicholas Wedertz, with whom he re
mained three years, and then went to
Toledo where he worked at the bust

grocery store of G. A. Hoffman,, where
he made many acquaintances, and
where he conceived the idea of start

An Aged Wayfnrcr Who Taught

An English clergyman declares that
the best Christmas sermon he ever
heard was preached by woman-and
in three words.
In my little parish, under the sweep
of the Sussex downs" he says, Il was
walking swiftly home one night buffet
ed about by the gray clouds of driving
rain that the fierce sou'wester swept
landward from the sea when n poor,
helpless, aged woman asked me for II
trifle for nights lodging.
"Curates are supposed always TO be
poor. 1t was Christmas time, and |
had just parted with my last siXpence
at lonely hamlet where work was
scarce. Still could not leave my
stranger in the street, so | asked her
to come with me TO my lodgings
"She shambled along through the
mud with her streaming clothes and
cIouted boots, and we entered my little
room. My thoughtful landlady had
made my table ready. y plate of hot
toast was standing in the fender; the
kettle sang vociferouslg. as if impa-
tient to be used; in front of the fire
stood my slippers and an easy chair

hands and burst into tears with the
