Weary Watches.

II suppose" said the matchmaker,
you do not know, that watches, like
human beings, sometimes don't .go' for
the very good reason that they are
tired. Sometimes watch Is brought
to me which is all right. Nothing about
1t is out Of order, and it is fairly clean.
When it becomes sulky and refuses to
go except by fits and starts the best
thing to do Is to lay it aside and give II
a rest. The mechanism in a tired
watch seems to be In perfect condition,
but it won't work. The fact is that
long and faithful service has thrown
it slightly out of adjustment in perhaps
ten different places. Scraping and
cleaning and readjusting fine watch
Is the worst thing that could be done
to it. A months rest will instead cause
the works slowly to readjust them
selves, and at the end of that time
after careful oiling the watch will 20

An .A.aae.ors Fool.

The function Of the kings fool IN
medieval times was in measure an
important one, and he who filed the
post had often very great influence
with his sovereign. Perhaps the bright
est and most astute of fools was Tri-
boulet, the favorite jester of Francis l.
It was reported that his majesty, who
was of very generous nature, had
acceded to request Of Charles ",
emperor Of Germany, that he might
pass through France on his way from
Spain to the Netherlands. Putting
aside all recollection of what he had
suffered at the emperor's hands while
captive in Spain, Francis was pre-
pairing to receive Charles with much
ceremony and splendor. Observing one
morning that Triboulet was scribbling
industriously upon a bit of paper,
Francis inquired what he was doing.
II have just added the name Of En-
peror Charles Of Germany to my list of
fools,' answered the Jester, "a soyer-.
elgn who is committing the incredible
folly of intrusting himself to you by
passing through your kin, Com"
"Folly? How If should let him pass
safely?"
''Then / shall substitute your name
for his" was the audacious retort of
the fool.

A Freshman.

A freshman who had entered one Of
the large universities and was not
much accustomed to the ways either
of institutions of learning or Of cities
was returning late one evening from a
lecture. When near his lodgings he was
halted by two masked men, who ''held
him up in true metropolitan style.
One Of the men leveled the convention.
al revolver at the young man, while
the other relieved him of his watch,
pocketbook and other valuabies. He
made no mention Of the matter to any
body at the time, but a few days later
he reported it to the president Of the
university
ut wasn't great DEAL" he said,
"but it was more than 1 like to lose,
and | think it's an outrage to treat a
boy that way"
Why didn't you tell me Of this SOON

things back to me next morning" he

Won by His Victim.


Baron de Mohrenheim, Russian Dip
lomat was one of the strongest fig
ures in the political life Of his country.
He did not believe In iconceding point
II hard fighting seemed likely to bring
victory. While holding high position
In st. Petersburg his life was threat
ened by conspiracy. A workman had
been detailed to kill him, and after the
plot was discovered he had the man
brought before him. The accused was
q youth who had been driven by star.
walton to join the revolutionists. 'sYou
do not agree with what am doing?"
said the baron in friendly tone. The
man answered defantly in the mega
tive. Every we'll" said the intended
victim, ''every man Is entitled to his
opinion, and think that what you
want is work." He ordered the man to
be freed and found him employment in
his own service, where the workman
remained till the day of his death a
few years afterward.

Broke the Spell.

Up to the time of Grover Cleveland's
election it was a popular superstition
with politicians that no candidate
whose name began with the letter G
could be elected to the presidency. The
Idea arose from the fact that no man
whose surname presented this peculiar
ity, no matter how strong he was with
the people, had ever been successful
at the polls. There were two Clintons,
George and De Witt; William II. Craw.
ford, Henry Clay, Lewis Cass and a
number Of others, who, though their
prospects seemed bright indeed, met
with defeat when 1t came to the test.
Several Of the C's, George Clinton and
Henry Clay, for instance, were strong
candidates several times, but never
could make the rifle"
