FAMOUS TEA DRINKERS.
johnson Heads the List With a capae.
ity of IS Cups at Sitting,

Napoleon, like Johnson, q hardened
tea drinker, and so, a century'later, was
Mr.. Gladstone, who confessed that he
drank more tea between midnight and
4 in the morning than any other men,
Der of the house Of commons, and that
the strongest brew Of it never interfered
with his Sleep"
The dish of tea was one Of the most
important factors in Johnson's life.
Proficiency in the gentle art Of tea
brewing was regarded by him as an es-
sential attribute Of the perfect woman,
and there can be no doubt that his fe-
male friends (and their name was le-
gion) did their best to crafty his amia-
BILE weakness.
Richard Cumberland tells us, says
the Gentlewoman, that his inordinate
demands for his favorite beverage were
occasionally difficult to comply with.
On Sir Joshua Reynolds reminding him
that he had already consumed eleven
cups he replied: Sir, did not count
your glasses Of wine; why should you
number my cups Of tea?" adding laugh
ingly and in perfect good humor: "Sir,
/ should have released our hostess from
any further trouble, but you have re-
minded me that l want one more cup
to make up the dozen, and l must re-
quest Mrs. Cumberland to round up my
score"
When he saw the complacency with
which the lady Of the house obeyed his
behests he said cheerily. Madam, 1
must tell you for your comfort, you
have escaped much better than a GER
tain lady did while ago. upon whose
patience l intruded greatly more than I
have yours. She asked me for no other
purpose than to make zany Of me and
set me gabbling to a parcel of people 1
knew nothing Of so, madam, had my
revenge on her, for swallowed five and
twenty cups of her tea
Cumberland declared that his wife
would gladly have made tea for john
son las long as the New River could
have supplied her with water" for 1t
was then, and then only, he was seen
at his happiest moments.
On his Scottish tour his inexorable
demands for tea sorely tried the patience
Of Lady Macleod Of Dunvegan, who af-
ter giving him his sixteenth cup sug-
gested that further supplies in a small
basin might be agreeable to him.
Il wonder, madam" he answered
roughly, why all the ladies ask me such
questions. 1t Is to save yourself trou-
BILE, madam, and not me-"
The lady was discreetly silent, and
resumed her task.

NO SMALL CHANGE IN ALASKA.
Its Use, They Say, Means Smaller
Wages.

us Oso, Ihey Gay, means Smaller
Wages.
mo pennies, nickels and dimes go
In Alaska" said John Hoover of Fair
banks when I first went to that
country saw bartenders look cur
iously at a dime that some tenderfoot
had tossed on the bar and then sweep
1t off on the floor with their hands. I
wondered at this contempt for real
money and asked some questions
about it, discovering that no one ever
took nickels or dimes and that moth
ing could be bought in the Klondike
for less than twenty-five cents.
Take the ordinary sack Of tobac-
CO for instance, which we get here
for a nickel. There they cannot sell
it for quarter hardly, so they make
1t two for quarter but will not sell
one for fifteen cents.
1T Is common cause among those
people up here. They do not want
nickels and dimes introduced, for in
PRODUCTION Of small change would
mean lower wages and lower prices.
Ordinary shovellers get 81 or IS day
now and other labor Is paid in pro-
portion. They do not want to receive
lower wages.
"Of course it Is true that they make
money on the side, almost every work.
er does. There, is a tendency in min
ing to follow the rule that nuggets be-
long to the man who uncovers them
even If they are found on the claim of
the employer. I have seen men pick
up nuggets worth from an insignifi-
cant sum to $10S in value. I have
had this bag half filled with gold dust
several times-and lost 1t; but I ex-
pect to keep right on till make a
strike"
Mr.. Hoover has with him one of the
leather bags that the dust is carried
in in Alaska. 1t Is about twelve inches
in length and fiat and is about four
inches across. It ties with thong.
This looks as If an elephant had
stepped on it," he said, "but 1t has
had the dust In 1t up in the Klondike
all right.
There are mighty few robbers in
Alaska It doesn't take more than
four years to try a criminal and give
him proper punishment up there; and
besides, he can be caught. There is
only one way out and that is guarded.
Besides, gold dust Is as easily identi-
fed as different kinds Of cloth or cat
tie. An assayer or q banker in Seat
tie, for instance, will tell you wheth-
er your gold Is from one creek or an
other. There Is sometimes 10 per cent
difference In the value Of the gold
from streams running parallel on diff
ferent sides of the same mountain. A
holdup man. who acquires gold dust
would have to account for 1t when he
went out, and it could be traced cas-
ily."-Des Moines Register and

The Real Governor.

While Governor Wilson Of Kentucky
WAS nouseuound last winter, owing TO
a strained tendon in his leg, he was at
tended by "Jim," who had been general
factotum to many governors, and who
was a source Of much fun among state
house attaches.
The lame leg caused the governor to
move his office temporarily to the man
sion, where he received many delega-
tions.
On one occasion, Mrs. Wilson mao
waited luncheon for thirty minutes, and
she told his excellency that he must
come down and eat with her.
Mr.. dear" said Mr.. Wilson, Just as
soon as see that delegation OF men
downstairs, I'll be with YOU"
Mrs. Wilson was determined, and
said: "Jim,. you go down and tell them
to wait"
"Jim," frowned the governor, as that
worthy started off to obey the mistress
of the mansion-"Jim, you know who
Is governor, don't you?"
"Yas, sir" grinned Jim. with seeming
innocence, ''yas, sir, I'll go down and
tell the gemmen to wait, sar."-Lippin-

False Pride.-Wilbur Wright was dis
cussing the splendid work Of the Wright
aeroplanes at Rheims last month.
My pupils" he said, laughing didn't
have to display the false pride OF old
Jack Rogers Of Dayton. We once had
a walking race from Pleasant Hall
through West Union, Milton and Trot-
wood to Dayton. Jack Rogers In his
prime had walked well, but he was now
getting on. He shouldn't have entered.
Before West Union was reached, Jack
began to lag, and at Trotwood he was
very far behind indeed.
The Trotwood boys logged along be-
side the old man. They urged him on
warmly.
Go it, they said. Step out! You've
still got chance, Jack. Put some gin
ger into it, and you'll win yet
Jack frowned and waved the boys
aside. He said haughtily as he plodded
on:
"'Git out! Git away! l don't belong
to that squad in front. I'm the first OF
another relay behind"

How He Kept His Bed.

Rev. Daniel Isaacs once alighted at
an inn to stay the night. On asking
for a bed, he was told he could not
have one, as there was to be ball that
evening and all the beds were engaged.
AT what time does the ball break
up?" asked Mr.. Isaacs.
About in the morning, sir"
well, then, can have bed until
that timer"
Yes, certainly; but II the bed Is ask
ed for, you will have to remove"
VERY WELL" replied Mr. 1saacs, and
away he went to get between the sheets.
About in the morning he was awak-
ened by loud knocking at his chamber
door.
What do you want?" he asked.
How many are there Of you in
there?" inquired a voice.
There's me, and Daniel and Mr..
Isaacs and an old Methodist preacher"
was the reply.
Then, there's plenty Of you," And
the speaker passed on, leaving Mr..
Isaacs to enjoy his bed.-Cleveland

Seeking Information.-"Is there

Seeking lnformation.-"Is there a
preacher on this train?" asked a large,
dark visaged man as he passed from
one sleeper to another. At last, after ne
had loudly repeated his query for the
fifth or sixth time, a grave looking gen.
tleman laid aside a book and rose up
from a seat near one end Of the car.
Il have the privilege of being minis
ter of the gospel, sir" he said, can
be Of any service to you?"

might have Bible with you, so I could

They Considered It.-In Illinois there

They Considered lt.-In Illinois there
is an old law on the statute books to
the effect that in criminal cases the
jury is Judge of the law as we'll as OF
the facts" Though not often quoted,
once in a while a lawyer with a des-
perate case makes use Of it. In one
case the Judge instructed the jury that
It was to Judge Of the law as we'll as
the facts, but added that it was not to
Judge Of the law unless it was fully
satisfied that 1t knew more law than
the Judge. An outrageous verdict was
brought in, contrary to all instructions
Of the court, who felt called upon to re-
buke the jury. At last one old farmer
arose. "Jedge," said he, weren't we to
jedge the law as we'll as the facts?'
Certainly" was the response; "but I
told you not to judge the law unless
you were clearly satisfied that you
knew the law better than did" well,

shifted his quid, I'VE considered that

THEIR LAST WORDS.
The Reputed Deathbed Speeches Of the
Great In History.

The Reputed Deathbed Speeches Of the
Great In History.
Cynics there may be who will ascribe
to the inventive faculties Of posterity the
words which generations Of mankind
have reverenced as the last utterances
of the worlds great men, says the
Globe, Of London. To the worst Of
them perhaps even the last poignant
cry of the murdered Julius, or the pa
thetic tenderness Of Nelson's farewell to
ments of the dramatic historian. Yet,
as we like to hope, to the majority
these utterances are the ipsissima verba
of those to whom they are attributed,
and worthy of especial veneration in
that through them the characters Of
those who speak at this, often the most
serious, crisis Of life, the passing from
it, are revealed.
Who finds it hard to believe the ac-
count given Of the death Of Cromwell
by Carlyle's Writer Of our old Pam
phlet," Of the saying God is good"
which he frequently used all along; and
would speak it with much cheerfulness
and fervor Of spirit, in the midst Of his
pains; and how towards morning he
used divers holy expressions. implying
much inward consolation and peace"
among the rest speaking some exceed
ing self-debasing words, annihilating
and judging himself"
Our last glimpse Of Richelieu shows
him still the statesman absorbed in
public affairs, and offering to the world
a spectacle of iron resolution and un-
ruffled composure. Among his last
words was his reply, recorded by Nine.
De Motteville, when asked If he par
doned his enemies: Il have had no ene-
mics except those of the state"
1t Is the man rather than the states
man that we see in the touching pic
ture drawn for us by the Comte de
Brienne Of Mazarin in his last hours
Death overtakes him in the midst Of
his splendor triumphant at last over all
his enemies, and no less the real ruler
