An Andacious Fool.

The function Of the kings fool in
medieval times was in measure an
important one, and he who filled the
post had often very great influence
with his sovereign. Perhaps the
brightest and most astute of fools
was Triboulet, the fayorite Jester of
Francis |. 1t was reported that His
Majesty, who was of a very generous
nature, had acceded to a request of
Charles ". Emperor of Germany,
that he might pass through France
on his way to the Netherlands. Put
ting aside a recollection of what he
had suffered at the Emperor's hands
while captive in Spain. Francis was
preparing to receive Charles with
much ceremony and splendor. OBJ
serving one morning that Triboulet
was scribbling industriously upon a
bit of paper Francis inquired what
he was doing
Il have Just added the name of
Emperor Charles of Germany to my
list of FOOLS answered the Jester "a
sovereign who is committing the in
credible folly of intrusting himself
to you by passing through your king
dom"
Folly? How If should let him
pass safely?"
Then shall substitute your name
for his, was the audacious retort OF
the fool.-Tit-Blts

also on their power to starve out labor,
TO wear out litigants, to beat down
small competitors, to master the mar
ket, to evade taxes to get the free use
of public property? Nothing but the
curb of organized society can conilhe
them to their own glist and keep them
from grinding into dividends the STAN

NAVY SWIMMING TEST.
Scheme to Have Officers Dive Oh
Docks and Swim to Ships.

Scheme to Have Officers Dive Of
Docks and Swim to Ships.
Naval officers were much interested
and not little amused the other day
by an interview with Assistant Secre-
tary Newberry, in which he was quot
ed as saying that swimming test may
be demanded of navy officers just as
horseback ride was ordered to test
horsemanship of army officers. says a
Washington special dispatch to the
New York Globe. Newberry's idea is
TO have captains and admirals dive
from shore and swim to their ships.
The navy officers say such test
would not have half the terrors for
them that the horseback ride had for
the army officers, some of whom fear
ed they would be retired after their
try at fifteen mile ride. Rear Adj
miral Cowles said he knew but one
navy officer in all his acquaintance who
could not swim. All Annapolis grad
yates are swimmers.
