sRAVED ANGER OF KING.
Lafayette Flaunted Liberty Medal In
Face of Louis.

Shortly after Lafayette's return to
France from his second sojourn in
America, he was at Versailles; where
the king was about to review a divi'
sion of troops. Lafayette was asked
to join in the review.
He was dressed in the American uni
form, and was standing by the side OF
the Prince de Condo, when the king,
in his tour of conversation with the
officers, came to him, and, after
speaking on several topics, asked him
some questions about his uniform and
the military costume of the United
States. The kings attention was at
tracted by little medal attached to
the generals coat, and he asked what
it was.
Lafayette replied that it was a sym
Dol which it was the custom Of for
eign officers in American service to
wear, and that it bore a device.
"And what is the device upon
yours?" asked the king.
my Device" said the young gen
eral, pointing to his medal, lis a lib
erty pole standing on broken crown
and scepter."
The king smiled, and with some
pleasantly upon the republican pro-
pensities of a French Marquis in
American uniform, turned the CONVEX
sation into other channels. Condo
looked grave, but was silent.-The
Sunday Magazine.

sEcGAR WORE SILK HAT.
Attire of Mendicsnt Surprised Wis

Tho visitors from the country turn.
ing from London railway terminus
into the street on Saturday stopped to
gaze aghast at a man standing in the
gutter, Look" said one, nudging the
other, "even the be -,gars wear top
pers' in London!" 1t was true in this
case, at any rate.
Here was man OF about five and
thirty, dressed like ity clerk, in a
good morning coay and trousers, sound
boots, clean starched shirt and collar
and we'll fixed tie. He was crowned
with a silk hat, well brushed and
ironed. But there he was in the con.
ventional attitude Of the curbstone
merchant, one foot on the pavement,
the other in the gutter. One hand
held out for sale half a dozen boxes of
matches, the other invited aims.
A man keeps a nice little place in
the country from the profits of his
pitch on the pavement in the Strand,
but his workaday clothes would not
fetch as much as this mans hat cost
to iron.-London Evening Standard.

WHO PAID FOR THE DRINKS?
Endless Chain Operated by Thirsty
Men on the Mexican Border.

"Now, here is the best yarn of the
lot and good puzzle for the Sunday
papers to print" said the man with
the alkali in his whiskers, when he
had settled down in the hotel lobby
after a long day on the rubberneck
wagon.
Several years ago American silver
coin in Mexico was on the same basis
as Mexican silver was at that time and
still is in the states; it passed at half
it's face value. Drinks in Eel Paso and
in Juarez, the Mexican town across
the line, were bit apiece or 1919
cents, as you fasteners would say.
''In those pa1my days citizen OF
Ell Paso could go into drinking EN-.
porium and buy a drink, paying for it
with an American quarter. The bar
tender would hand him back a Mexi-
can quarter, which was, of course,
worth 1919 cents in Texas.
Then with this Mexican quarter in
his hand the citizen could cross the
bridge to Juarez and there buy an
other drink, laying his Mexican quar-
ter on the bar
'If the Greaser barLeep should give
him in change an American quarter
worth 1919 cents in Mexico the joyous
citizen could return to Uncle Sam
back yard and repeat the process.
NOW, the question is: Who paid
for those drinks pm. Y. Sun.

ton house one night about two weeks
later, and two more detected specimens
of humanity never appeared there.
One of them was carrying mantel

to take the booty away from them,

BEES CLOSED A MINE.
Swarmed in Millions and Men Were
Unable to Work.

There are instances in great number
where mining operations were tenn
porarily suspended by a shortage of
funds or by water flooding the proper
ty, but it remained for Mohawk, a
small station along the Southern Pa
cific, to furnish new cause which is
unique in the history OF mining. The
company affected owns the Red Cross
mines in the Mohawk mountains.
Millions OF bees, attracted by the
water at these mines and forced from
their hives in the mountains by the
drought, took possession Of the water
supply, and their numbers were so
great that it was found impossible to
drive the swarms away. Consequently
the mines have been shut down until
the rainy season sets in, when it is
hoped the bees will return to their
mountain es.-Sacramento Bee.

Doctor Recommends Postum from
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize the
Injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving Off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:

gard to that excellent preparation

nervous heart trouble for over Is

to Postum.
