lifetime of this prince Of all lars has
no conception that the hero was real

rich Won Munchausen was a Han
overian nobleman, subject of the first
three Georges. He was born In 1920
and died in 1907. He took service In
Russian cavalry regiment, but retired
In old age to his ancestral estate at
Bodenwerder, In Hanover, where he
became notorious for the magnificent
lies about his military adventures with
which he used to entertain bis neigh

lection of these stories, entitled Wade

lished at Berlin In 1881 without the

Marvellous Travels and Campaigns In
Russia was an expansion and i'm

Sir walter scost's First Brief

Sir Walter Scof1 mad his share or the
usual curious experiences shortly after
being called to the bar. His first ap
pcarance as counsel In criminal court
was at Jedburgh assizes in 1893. wher
he successfully defended a veteran
poacher you're a lucky scoundrel.'
Scott whispered to his client when tht
verdict was given. I'm Just O your
mind" returned the latter. and II
send you a maukIn q. e. a harej the
morn. man" Lockhart, who narrates
the incident, omits to add whether the
maukln duly reached Scott, but nc
doubt Ii did. On another occasion Scott
was less successful In his defense of a
housebreaker but the culprit, grateful
for his counsels exertions, gave him. In
lieu of the orthodox fee, which he was
unable to pay, this piece of advice, tc
the value of which he (the housebreak.
err could professionally attest: First,
never to have large watchdog out of
doors, but to keep a little yelping ter.
rier within. and, secondly, to put no
trust In nice, clever, gimcrack locks,
but to pin his faith to huge old heavy
one with a rusty key. Scott long re
membered this incident and thirty
years later. at judges dinner Mt jed,

rhyme:

The Sen IIoraC.

This fish Is found in the Atlantic
ocean around the coast Of Spain, the
south of France, in the Mediterranean
and In the Indian ocean. Sea horses
are very small and have been found
often curled up in oyster shells. The
head Is much like that of horse, and
the rings around the body and tail re-
semble those of some caterplllars The
habits of these fishes are singular and
interesting. They swim with a waving
motion, and frequently wind their tails
around the weeds and rushes. They
have fins to sustain them in the water,
and even in the air. They live on
worms, fishes, eggs and substances
found In the bottom of the sea.

The bed md the Candidates.

Judge Harlan and James B. McCrea-
ry once canvassed Kentucky together
as the Republican and Democratic can
didates for governor. They Travelled
about the state on Il joint debating trip
and in many small mountain places
had to sleep in the same bed. They
were warm personal friends and so
did not object to this intimacy. One
night Mr.. Harlan got into bed first.
Senator McCreary was not far behind,
and just as he entered the bed Judge
Harlan raised his bulky form and said
in his stentorian voice, "McCreary,
there is one thing certain-the next
governor of Kentucky Is in this bed"
AS he spoke the bed Stats broke, and
Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Semi
tor McCreary caught and held himself
in bed, and, as Judge Harlan reached
the floor, said: John. you are right.
The next governor of Kentucky is still
in this bed"

water Is better to use to wash them
with than cold, and unscented soap Is
preferable to scented If the wax be-

tened by pouring in few drops Of
tepid olive oil at night. Then plug the
ear with cotton wool and sleep with
that ear uppermost. In the morning
gently syringe 1t out with soap and
warm water, using an ear syringe for
the purpose. If you cannot get pure
olive oil, warmed glycerln Will answer
the purpose equally well.

Several days had passed thus when
another diamond was flashed before
Mrs. Berkleys eyes; this time the ring
was In the band Of her husband.
81 have brought you a diamond to
show that | care for you-yes, l care
very much indeed" he said earnestly.
Give me your hand, and we will see
how it will At" He tried to speak
playfully
II don't want the diamond. How
can wear two wedding rings"
Then he noticed the slender silver
band on her finger. A happy light lit
up his face.
II want you to wear the diamond
ring anyway. Give me the silver ring,
and l will wear 1t next my heart out
of sight"
II am going to wear the silver ring
alwaysw said Mrs. Berkeley determin-
eddy. Then, suddenly and severely,
Joe Berkeley. how much did you pay
for that diamondW
Three hundred dollars
where did you get the money! @ou
told me when you bought that last lot
of goods that you only had $50 left In
the bank" A frightened look came In
to her face. You didn't
mo, | did not borrow or steal It, l
sold the store, and tomorrow take my
old place as clerk in it, just where l
was when we were married"
Joe Berkeley, had just come to the
conclusion that | was a fool, but l
never dreamed you were one too!'
IL thought a diamond was necessary
to show that loved you"
well, if you care for me now you
will take that ring back to the jewel
ers, and then you will march right
down the street and buy back the
store. Make whatever explanations
you wish, but buy back the store"
The very next day Mrs. Berkeley went
to call on Amelia Jones.
ooh, Mrs Berkeley, how glad l am to
see you. l used you so horrid the 9th
er day. Can you ever forgive meY ex-
claimed Amelia as she drew her into
the room.
romance In connection with the ring
made out of n dime that | thought you
would be interested In" began Mrs.
Berkeley without any prelimlnaries as
soon as she was seated. Il first met
Mr.. Berkeley on a street car. l pulled
out a dime to pay the conductor when
1t slipped from my fingers and fell to
the floor. Joe Berkeley, who was sitting
near, sprang up to search for 1t, but
Just then the car stopped at my desti-
nation, and | had no time to wait for
the lost coin. Mr.. Berkley slipped
nickel into my hand, saying he would
pay my fare and keep the dime when
he found 1t. l thanked him and left
the car. The next day we met on the
car again, and of course 1t was natural
that | should ask him If he had found
the dime. He had, and this opened the
way for further conversation. We met
often after this, and-well, you know
the rest. Mr.. Berkeley had the dime
made into a ring. and he asked me to
wear It always
you see why | prize 1t above any
diamond ring he could give me-" Her
voice was full of feeling as she fin
lshed.
"How fine" Amella's eyes were shin
ing with a new light. NO the kind of
a ring does not matter, after ALL" she
added softly as If to herself. 81 be-
lieye l will tell Bob that l prefer the
ring set with my birthday stone; he
really could not afford the diamond
anyway"

Aside from the physical benefits to
