VISITING CARDS FOR KINGS.
Those Of the German Kaiser Are the
Most Imposing.

The German emperor believes In
being sufficiently represented. even on
a visiting card. No ordinary sized
piece of pasteboard will suffice him.
for Williams cards measure no less
than six inches in length and four
In width. On the upper line is the
single word Wilhelm" and below are
the words "Deutscher Kaiser" and
"Konig Won Preussen" The words are
printed in large. fat, German script
letters. OF course, the emperor does
not carry these imposing sheets OF
pasteboard himself; they are confided
10 his chasseur. or body servant, who
follows him.
The other soverelgns Of Europe are
content with more modest visiting
cards. with the words upon them in
Latin script. Among the simplest in
size and appearance are those of tho
emperor Of Austria and the prince OF
Wales. The prince has two sets OF
cards. one for use abroad and the
other for England The English one
bears the words The Prince Of
Wales" the other the French equiva
lent, Prince de Gales"

FIRED FoRTY.TWo SHOTS.
A Lengthy and Harmless Duel Be
tween Two Italians.

A remarkable duel was fought In
Naples recently. 1t arose out OF quar-
rel between two Neapolitan aristo-
Gratis, to settle which duel was ar
ranged When, however, the comba-
tants were facing each other, sword
In hand, reconciliation was effected.
Then fresh dispute arose between
Signor San Malato, one of the prin-
cipals, a noted fencer, and Signor Bas-
lone, one OF the seconds, with the re-
suit that second duel was arranged
between them. to continue until one
of them was incapacitated.
The weapons were to be pistols
Both parties, though famed as fenc-
ers, proved very bad shots, for at Go
feet distance Al shots were exchanged
without the shedding OF blood.
At the fortysecond shot, however,
San Malato grazed his opponents
cheek, making slight abrasion.
The seconds then interviewed, hon
or was declared satisfied, and the
duelists embraced each other amid,
the report says. a touching scene.
Both combatants We're congratulate
ed upon their GOODNESS under this
hail of bullets. The affair lasted ex-
actly three hours and half.

Music Won Moltke Loved.

Arthur M. Abel in his sympathetic
memorial article on Joachim tells the
following interesting story Of Won
Moltke and the great violinist. A more
ardent lover OF music than Helmuth
Won Moltke never lived. He was an In.
innate friend OF Joachim, and the
great violinist was a frequent guest
at his house. When the two illustri.
Gus men were quite alone Joachim
would take his violin and play Spohr
adagios for hours--for Moitke would
hear nothing else on such occasions.
Once, Joachim, after having played
Spohr to him for two hours, said:
Wouldn't you like to hear couple
of Hungarian dances for changer
No. replied Won Eoltke. Il prefer
Spohr adagios: If you don't tire OF
playing them, l never tire of hearing
them" So the violinist kept ON with
Spohr until far into the night

But Women Saw No Reason for Lev

Mems sense of humor Is peculiar
For example. every man in the vicin.

chuckled gleefully the other day over
an accident that reduced the women
present to state of tears. A small,
one-horse wagon loaded with packing
cases was run into by heavy truck.
The small wagon was hit so hard that
several OF the cases were jolted on
and broken open, scattering the con-
tents over the street. The demolished
merchandise consisted OF women's
headgear. There were felt and vel
vet hats. feathers, flowers and rib
bon. Most OF the hats were bent and
crushed into even more ridiculous
shapes than had been designed by the
milliner, and the feathers and flowers
We're crushed That was what tickled
the men.
"Womens hats, by George!" ex.
claimed strapping young fellow who
carried two suit cases. Somebody's
finery has gone to smash, and some
poor devil OF man has escaped pay
ing tremendous bill"
At that exhibition of alleged wit
every other man of high or low de-.
gree laughed uproariously, and con-
tinued to laugh until the wreckage
had been scraped up and the little
comedy OF the streets was played out.
