Frederick the Great.

Frederick William l., father Of Fred
erick the Great, was a most brutal old
fellow, treating his son almost as badly
ms they treat the eXiles in Siberia. I'm
able TO endure such barbarity on the
part of his father, Frederick resolved
to run away and seek refuge at the
court of his uncle, George II. of Eng
land. Ready to assist him in his at
tempt were his two young friends,
Lieutenants Katie and Keith. By the
imprudence of Katie the secret was
found out, and Frederick was placed
under arrest. Keith escaped but Katie
was tried by court martial, sentenced
to death and executed. Frederick also
was sentenced to death and would
have been shot but for the earnest eX-
postulations of the kings of Sweden
and Poland.

Durability of Glass.

It does not seem odd to find inscrip-
tions written ages ago still visible on
the Tower of London or on the steeplc
of some cathedral. but one would hard
ly look on Il fragile pane of glass in a
common window for characters POO
years old. \ notable case in point is
that of the old house in London where
in the notorious Jack Sheppard once
lived rs Il carpenters apprentice. One
of the window panes still bears an in
scription cut in it by Il glazier's dia-
mond recording the name and address
of man who preceded Jacks master
in that house
The inscription is, John Woolley
Brand, Painter and Glazier, March -,

That was nine years before the COM

The Choice.

A young man stood before the mirror
completing the finishing touches to q
toilet of which he felt justly proud.
He was going to call upon the girls
widowed mother to ask for her daugh-
ter's hand in marriage.
At last everything was complete eX-
cept his cravat. Before him on the
dressing table spread the two cravats
between which his choice rested. one,
neat black with narrow white stripe,
which he had bought himself; the 9th
er cravat which the girl had given
him for present, Il tie such as only
women purchase.
IF / wear the black ana white one,
I'll loCl. my best" he muscd. ION the
other hand. if | wear the one she gave
me I'll please her immensely, but will
look like a fright"
Then he whistled, walked around the
room and carefully tied his cravat.
The mother said, Yes although
there were tears in her eyes, and the
girl thought he was the handsomest
and best dressed man in the world.
Which cravat did he wear?-Bohe-

The Hundred Best Books.

"The fact is that there is no posi-
bility of naming the hundred best
books The naming of them for any
large general audience is quite impos-
sible All that is possible in such a
connection is to state cmphatically
that there are very few books that are
equally suitable to every kind Of in
tellect," says Clement Shorter In his
book of Immortal Memories TEN
peramcnt as well as intellectual en-
dowment makes for so much in read
ing. Take, for example, the limitation
Of Christ George Eliot, although not
q Christian, found it soul satisfying.
Thackeray, as | think Il more robust in
tellect, found it well nigh rs mischiev-
Gus as did Eugene Sue. There are
great books that can be read only by
the few, but surely the very greatest
appeal alike to the man of rich intel
lectual endowment and to the man to
whom all processes of reasoning are
ncomprehensible."

The Chicago Evening Post prints
the following: "EX-Mayor Carter
II. Harrison arrived from California
this noon with a Straight bunch
that William Jennings Bryan was
to be the next president of the
United States. He has diagnosed
the coming presidential contest as
a fat mans race, but thinks the ex-
ira republican weight which Taft
carries will handicap him so much
that the Nebraskan will carry off
the honors easily. The former
guide of democratic destinies in
Chicago reached the city over the
Santa Fe with a heavy coat of coast
tan on his face and more flesh than
he had when he went away last fall.
Mr.. Harrison said he had been out
of touch with Chicago affairs so
long that it would take good deal
of industrious pumping on the part
OF the scribes to get any ideas of
local affairs out of him. The word
Bryan came out at the first pump
Bryan is the only thing in sight
for the democrats, he said. No
Governor Johnson nor no Wood
row Wilson is going to cut in on
the Nebraskan. You can tell every
where you go that Bryan is strong
er than ever before. The people
are talking and thinking Bryan
more than ever "

The New York democratic con-
vention broke up in a big fight.
The rank and file are for Bryan, and
Tammany and the Parker element
are against him. The fight started
when the gang attempted to un-
seat some of the Bryan delegates.
This gang had its way a few years
ago and everybody still remembers
the result.

According to the Topeka State
Journal, Senator Longs organiza-
ton, now maintaining headquar-
tiers at Topeka, is the most COM
pact thing in the history of Kansas
politics. This organization to-
gether with the trick turned by the
machine element in framing the
primary law so far as it relates to
the nomination of L. S. senator,
is expected to bring Senator Long
out ahead regardless Of how the re-
publcans of Kansas vote.

Senator Noftzger of Anthony has
made the statement to Topeka and
Wichita papers that he will not be
a candidate for reelection to the
state senate. He says he wants
Judge Price of the western end Of

liked to have seen Thomas run. 1t
would have meant a sure thing for
the democratic candidate.

Some congressman have really
awakened to the fact that a revis-
