WITH THE ARTISTS CAMERA AND COLOR BOX
DOING THE CZAR

The Emperor Nicholas of Russia was
once "sold,'' as follows:
During an interview which Martinez,
the comedian and mimic, had succeed
ed in obtaining with Prince Volkhon-
sky high steward, the emperor walked
into the room unexpectedly, yet with a
design, as was soon made evident
Telling the actor that he had heard
of his talents and should like to see a
specimen of them, he bade him mimic
the old minister. The feat was per-
formed with so much gusto that the
emperor laughed immoderately, and
then, to the great horror of the poor
actor, desired to have himself taken
off,
"'Tis physically impossible" pleaded
Martinez
"Nonsense!" said Nicholas. 'I in
sist on it's being DONE"
Finding himself on the horns of a
dilemma, the mimic took heart of grace
and, with a promptitude and presence
of mind that probably saved him, but
toned his coat over his breast, expand
ed his chest, threw up his head, and
assuming the imperial part to the best
of his power, strobe across the room
and back; then, standing opposite the
minister, he cried in the exact tone and
manner of the czar:
"Valhonsky, pay Monsieur Martinez
one thousand silver roubleS!
The emperor for a moment was dis
concerted, but recovering himself with
smile, he ordered the money to be
paid.-EXchange

A STORY BY KIPLING

A magazine editor was praising Rud-
yard Kipling, says a writer in Mod
ern Society"
'I was glad when Kipliug got the
Nobel prize" he said. L thought 1t
would encourage him. He is in a bad
way now. You know he is writing
scarcely anything. 1 thought he was
idle, lazy and | took him to task about
it. He said he knew he looked idle,
but in reality he was trying hard to
work, only he was stuck.
He said he resembled a man who
made a bet one summer day, at the
seaside, that he would swim out a
mile and a half to a certain buoy. The
bet was accepted, the man stripped
and plunged in. His friend retired to
the hotel to watch his progress. From
the window, with a field glass the
friend saw the swimmer reach the
buoy in due course, drew himself up
fortably with his legs dangling over.
So far, so good. Evidently he was
resting, we'll pleased. with his feat.
Some minutes passed, and the
swimmer had not moved. The watcher
returned to his book. But every now
and then he looked up, and still the
swimmer sat in the same position on
the buoy An hour, two hours went
by-still the swimmer remained. A
white, slim figure seen against the on
coming dark, he sat on the buOy'S
edge: his feet dangled in the sea; he
seemed to be musing.
Finally it began to grow quite
dark, and, thoroughly alarmed at
last. the watcher got a boat and a
couple of men and rowed out to his
friend. Out there the mystery was
soon explained. The man was stuck
fast to the buoy, which had been
freshly tarred that morning.

REALLY A COMPLIMENT

Aaron Bancroft the father of the his
torian, was a Massachusetts clergy
man who revolted against the Calvan-
ism of the day. The young minister
found himself held at arms length by
the surrounding clergy. In 1.-The Life
and Letters of George Bancroft" Mr..
NJ A. Dew. Howe quotes the follow
ing item from the old minister's
Memoranda:
An honest but not very intelligent
farmer of my parish, some ten years
ago, accosted me in this manner:
"WeIl, Mr.. Bancroft, what do you
think the people of the old parish say
of you now?'
Il answered, 81 hope something very
good.''
''They say If we find fault with him
he does not mind it at all; and if we
praise him he does not mind it, but
keeps steadily on his own way; we
therefore have concluded that it is best
to let him alone.'"
The farmer mentioned the fact as a
subject of laughter, but I thought, and
still think that taking the declaration
in it's bearings, it was the prettiest
compliment have received through my
whole life.

A VERSATILE FATHER

There can be no doubt that it costs
more to live today than twenty years
ago.
Many economists have sought the
reason in vain. The following, quoted
from the Atchison Globe, indicates pref
ty clearly one of the causes of the
trouble 1t would be enlightening to
know what way the young father took
out of his difficulty.
I am rather a young man, but the
father of three children, ranging in age
from two to eight, and it seems to keep
me so busy supplying their wants in
the amusement line that 1 scarcely find
time to make a living.
Being handy at making things, and
generally a bit scant on funds, l find
it economy to build rather than buy
Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-21

such articles as the modern young
America demands.
So far it has been necessary to man
ufacture two sleds, one express wagon,
one wheelbarrOw, three kites, seven
balls, a bat, imitation guns, swords,
knives. and pistols, a writing desk, fire
works, parachute, windmills, turning
pole play house, seesaw, swing, Christ
mas tree ornaments and jack-O'-lan-
terms.
Now there is an order in for bicycle
and an automobile Those two things,
1 fear, are beyond me.
What shall 1 do-deny my youngsters
what they see other children have, or
get them and face banruptcy?
