HIS GRAcE's SUBSCRIBERS.
Clever Ruse by Which Weliinaton'o
Autograph Was Secured.

Toward the latter years of the
Duke of Nellington's life it was
next to impossible to coax or whee-
die his autograph out of him. All
the stratagems used TO get a reply
from him to letters failed. He either
did not answer them at all or di-
rected his private secretary to do so,
and thus the famous signature Of
wellington" became a rarity high
ly priced by collectors.
Apropos of this London Answers
tells of London lady who had an
album garnished with the auto
graphs of most of the great men of
the day, but wanted that of the
great captain" She mentioned her
distress to a friend, certain Mr.. Il,
and few days after he, to her great
surprise and pleasure, brought her
a note from the hand of the victor
of Waterloo 1t ran thus:
Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington
never ordered a p0ir OF braces OF Messrs.
Simpkin. If F. NJ. the Duke of Yelling
ton had ordered the articles. ke could not
forget it. r NJ. the Duke OF wellington
always pays for his braces.
This was very odd document for
a lady's album, bat its authenticity
was mdoabted, and it therefore
found the best place in the interest
ing collection: The way in which
this singular note was elected was
this: ss
Mr.. II. filled up one of the bank
ruptcy court forms and signed it,
informing the duke that in winding
up the affairs of Messrs. Simpkin he
(the assignee) found on their books
the sum of 6s. Cd. due by his grace
for pair of braces, which he re-
quested the duke would Immediately
pay or have paid Mr.. H.'s ruse was
founded on pure fiction, but it sue
ceeded.
