Settling a Bet.

A New Yorker and a Chicagoan met
at a big sanitarium where all alco-
holic liquors were strictly forbidden.
To make amends for this a thoughtful
individual had established barroOm
at the foot of the hill on which the
institution was situated. In front Of
this, at right angles to the sidewalk,
hung big sign.
"Clever name that gin mill down
there has," said the New Yorker, The
Last Chance"
Its clever all right" replied the
Chicago man, "but you've got 1t
wrong. It's The First Chance"
Argument was superfuous. There
was nothing to do but to make small
bet and settle it at once. The two
went down the hill together, and pref
ty soon the westerner exclaimed tri-
G'nphantly:
1.-the First Chance I win"
The New Yorker could not dispute
the evidence of his own senses, but
was deeply puzzled When they reach
ed the place he looked at the other side
of the sign 1t read, "The Last
Chance" To those going up the hill
the resort was named "The Last
Chance" to those coming down it
was "Tbe First Chance"
The two men took both chances.

American Royalty.

A visitor to one of the hotels al
Carlsbad, Germany, tells the story OF
a gentleman to whom the servants and
the proprietor paid the most profound
attentions. He was royalty treated
rather to the neglect of the rest Of the
guests.
Every time he came out of the hotel
door strip of green carpet would be
rolled down in front of him and the at
tendants would take off their caps and
bow in the most deferential and obse
quious manner. Neither the visitor
thus so strangely honored nor the 9th
er guests could make out what this
Difference meant.
At last some one looked in the print
ed register, or Kurgast Liste. There
was the entry:
