A DISPLAY or QUICK WIT,

The American Saved His Pride and
Observed Russian Etiquette.
The Yankee and the Russian story is
again on it's grand rounds, but as all
attempts ito name the original Yankee
have failed, says London NJ A. p,
it is safe to pin the anecdote to any
prominent American who may have
visited St. Petersburg. Il
The Russian has been identified as
the Grand Duke Constantine, younger
brother Of the Car Alexander l., and
the incident occurred about 1910.
The Yankee went out for walk in
March, when the snow was melting
after sudden rain. The street was a
maze of puddles, divided into sections
by narrow lodges of snow at the cross
ings, over which pedestrians carefully
felt their way.
The Yankee was just in the middle
of such snow bridge when he recog-
nized the Grand Duke Constantine ap-
preaching in the opposite direction.
The path being too narrow for two
persons to pass, the grand duke being
accustomed to every one getting out of
his way, the Yankee being too courte-
ons to turn his back on a brother of
the czar to return whence he came
and too proud to step servilely into the
slush for a mere prince of the royal
blood-such was the contretemps.
Quick as flash our American

Constantine and asked, Given or odd? ~

prince.

stepped off into a puddle half a leg

peculiarly American proceeding, men

A Curious Army Toast.

Of all the British regiments the
Welsh fusileers have the most curious
army toast. 1t forms part of the cere-
mony Of the grand dinner given annu-
ally on st. David's day. After the din
ner the drum major, accompanied by
the goat, the mascot of the fusileers,
bedecked with rosettes Of red and blue
ribbon, marches around the table, car
rying a plate Of leeks. Every officer or
guest who has never eaten one before
is obliged to do so, standing on his
chair with one foot on the table, while
the drummers beat a roll behind his
chair. He is then considered true
Welshman. All the toasts are coupled
with the name of St. David. 1t is in
ml.h this way that the toast with
highland honors is drunk. Each guest
stands with one foot on his chair and
one on the table, and the pipers, a-pip-
ing, parade the room.

first "pony express" reached Sacra.
mento, CAL, long before the first trans.
continental railroad was surveyed:
Those who were there to witness it
will never forget the arrival of the
first Of these express messengers at
Sacramento. It was an occasion Of
great rejoicing, and everybody, big and
little, old and young, turned out to
see the fun. All business for the time
was suspended. Even the courts adj
journed for the event. A large num-
Der Of the citizens Of all classes, grave
and gay, mounted on. fast horses, rode
out some miles on the line to meet the
incoming wonder.
'The waiting was not long. The lit
tie rider upon his blooded charger, un-
der whip and spur, came down upon
them like q meteor, but made not the
slightest halt to greet his many visit
ors. Then began race Of all that
waiting throng over the stretch back
to the city, the like Of which has never
been seen. It may have been rivaled
in speed and confusion by some of the
cavalry disasters during the war that
presently followed, but the peaceful
people of Sacramento, am sure, never
beheld anything of the kind before OF

cheering, some waving banners and

A ROMANCE IN TIN.
One Mans Fortune From the Price Of

One Mans Fortune From the Price of
Pair of Shoes. ~
Some years ago a man who had
started in business in Tasmania found
that he could not meet his engage
ments and was compelled to call q
meeting of his creditors. &
Among his assets were number Of
Mount Birschoff tin mine shares,
which were regarded as worthless. It
was the first tin mine discovered in
Tasmania, and the output was not as
heavy as the prospectus declared it
would be. 49,. ...
The shares dropped in value, and
when the debtor offered them to his
creditors the latter refused to touch
them >9 "...
Among the creditors was a poor
shoemaker who had supplied the man
with a pair Of shoes. He offered to
take the shares in payment OF his
debt. No one raised any objection,
and he took the shares, saying, "They
may turn out well some day"
Five years later, under proper man
agement, the mine developed into a
valuable property. It was veritable
mountain Of tin, and the shares sprang
up to an astonishing point.
Eventually the metal was "cornered''
by a French syndicate, and, the shares
reaching fabulous price, the once
INDECENT shoemaker sold out and real.

The money was wisely invested, and
