The Donkey on the s%ece.

"1t's curious" said theatrical man. ager who had experienced many ma and downs. how the stage develons Jealousfes. l once had show on tba road in which 1t was necessary to make use of horse and donkey We got the animals we'll trained for their parts, and on the opening night they gave first class performance On the following night, however. we were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse. went CD without any trouble whatever but Jack-that was the name of tba donkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlIrhts we hnally had to go on with the perform ance with the donkey left out After the show was over We got together and tried to find out what had been the matter Nobody could offer an ex. planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up'a program. which showed that Princes name was print ed in the same kind of type we used for Jack. We got a new lot of pro- grams the next day with the donkey's name printed in type which was near ly twice as big as that which we used for the horse.t After that we never had the slightest trouble. e."-Chfca 20 Record Fl erald.

The Great Vidoea.

VidocQ, the great French detective. was born in Aras in 1775. He began life as baker and early became the terror Of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time be was notorious thief. and after many dlsgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 1796 he re- turned to Paris with some money. which, however, he soon squandered. Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight years hard labor for forgery, hut re- peateGly escaped. and in 1908 he be- came conrc, ted with the Paris police as detective. His previous career enabled Ii: ,u render important serv- ices. and he vas appointed chief of the safety brigade. chiefly composed of re- prieved convicts, which purged Paris of the many dangerous classes. In 1918 he received full pardon, and his connection with this service lasted un- till about 1898, when he settled at St, Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon after the revolution of 1880 he became political detective. but with little success. In 1S4S he was again en- ployed under the republican govern ment, but he dfed renniless in 1857.

Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco is couched in a very fowery and fam boyant style It is interspersed with variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the episue. For example an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 "ln our present letter God increase his power and make the glorious sun and his moon glitter in the Armament of his felicity we have authorized cur incorruptible servant (heEe follows name) to contract in the name and on the beloof of the treasury (heaven fill it lean of --,'' etc.
 Considering that the "incorrupuble servant is filching as much as be pos sible can from the treasury it is cer- tainly necessary to pray that "heaven fill it."-London Graphic

Sometimes he is "basted," he "boils with rage" is ''baked" with heat and burns with love or jeal- ousy. He is often 'cut up,' "dcvour- ed" with flame and sdone brown We dress his jacket for him.

The Lono Bamboo.

An Englishman was once rallying a native of India upon bis faculty in ly- ing. The native at once replied: "Why, sahib, we are all more or less liars in my country, and if one tells story another immediately caps 1t. There were two young men of my country who had a boasting match. and one said, My father is so rich and has so many horses that his stable is of such extent as to take a horse eleven months to go from one end stall to the other 'Shabash, brother re piled the second boaster that is very good.

Improved the Opportunity.

The Empress Eugenie had long en- treated Napoleon III. to confer upon Rosa Bonheur the cross of the Legion of Honor. He had refused because he did not wish to found a precedent for bestowing 1t upon a woman. Being called across the border into Spain, Napoleon made Eugenie regent in his absence, and she. with woman wit, took advantage of her authority to con- fer the honor upon the great artist. Napoleon laughed oh hearing his wife's confession, but the act stood.
