Poet and Creditor.

"A Paris contemporary tells this
story about Joseph Merry, the
French poet: A creditor called one
morning early to ask payment OF an
account. He interviewed the poet
in bed and expressed sorrow at hay-
ing to trouble him, but would he
settle the account. with pleasure, "
replied Merry. Have the goodness
to open the first drawer Of that cab
met 81 have, sir" replied the
creditor, "but there is nothing
there" "Gndeed? Well, try the
next" "There is nothing in it,"
"That is strange. Try the third"
"There is nothing in there either"
"Look on the mantelshelf." But
it is the same as the drawers" ut
is increditable. Have YOU looked
on the table," eyes" "And in
the secretaire ?" eyes, and there is
nothing" On my clothes ?" yes;
l have turned out all the pockets. ="
"Ah, WE'LL" replied Merry, with the
greatest composure, IF there is no
money in the drawers or on the
mantel or on the table or in the sec
retaire or in my pockets, how in the
name of all that's wonderful can |
give you anything

A Rornao Parasite.

A famous rarity in the vegetable
world of Borneo is the rafflesia, the
buah pakmah of Malays. The plant
is one of the most degraded Of para
sites, and so completely does it sub
merge itself in the tissues of its host
that the only part which ever shows
itself to the external world is the
enormous flower. The diameter Of
the flower measures about two feet.
The odor is repulsive, and there IS
not one feature Of beauty to recon-
mend it to man. 1t appears, how
ever, to hold an important place in
the pharmacopoeia of the natives,
who perhaps imagine that the plant
to which nature has given so unin~
yiting an exterior must possess some
hidden virtue in the way of compen-
sation. Various species of rafiesia
are known in Borneo, and, oddly
enough, their hosts are invariably
ipecies of vine (cissus).

THE TURTLES DEFENSE.
Coyote Helpless Against Snapper,
Whose Eggs 1t Devoured.

In 1850 war party Of Cheyennes
had started out on foot to take
horses and had got as far south as
Black Butte creek-perhaps Big
creek of the whites-which runs
into the Smoky Hill river from the
north, near where Fort Larned
afterward stood.
They had come to the banks OF
this stream and were sitting there
resting. some Of them drinking wa
ter. Others lying down in the grass
and sleeping. As they sat there,
saws Forest and Stream, one Of the
men saw coming over the prairie a
coyote, slowly trotting toward the
stream. 1t acted as if it smelled
something.
Now, it is the law that when peo-
ple are on the warpath they must
not kill or injurc either wolf or
coyote. So no one thought Of harm
ing the animal, and the men sat
there and looked at it, and one said
to the other: "Sit still, now. Do
not frighten it. Let us see what 1t
will do"
The coyote trotted along slowly
until it had come to sand bank at
the edge Of the water, and there,
after smelling about little, it be-
gan to dig and presently had partly
uncovered the eggs Of swapping
turtle and was beginning to eat
them. But close by, lying on the
sand, was a big swapping turtle, the
mother that had laid these eggs.
She saw the coyote and commenced
slowly to walk toward him. The
coyote had his head down in the
hole, busily deyouring the eggs and
saw and heard nothing, and in a
moment or two the turtle was close
to it and, darting out its long
neck, seized him by the cheek and
the ear, closing her jaws on him
with a grip that nothing could ZOOS.
en-. The coyote yelled dismally and
tried to pull away, but could not.
The turtle was big and strong, and
she began to back slowly toward the
stream. The coyote, bowling with
pain, pulled back as hard as he could
and struggled desperately trying to
shake himself free. But the turtle
held on and marched steadily back
ward until she got into the water
and dragged the miserable coyote
after her. Gradually the water got
deeper and deeper, until it had
reached the coyotes body, and then
presently its head disappeared, and
the last the Indians saw Of him was
his tail and his hind legs waving in
the air.
For some time the Indians sat
there looking at the water and talk
ing over what had happened, and at
length they saw the body Of the
coyote rise to the surface and float
away down the stream.
So the old turtle protected her
young ones.

WHO WAS WRoNG7
A Lawyers Opinion or Lease and =
Courts Decision.

Courts Decision.
Some wears ago an attorney was
called in by a large company and
handed a lease.
GIVE us your opinion" said the
president. Eve have great deal
Of this sort of legal business, and 1t
is only fair to say that your opinion
NAV mean much to us and TO your
self"
The LAWYER went through the
document with some care, but quick
" and on the spot.
'Um-will you tell me what firm
drew up this Instrument" he asked
at length.
mo firm at ALL" was the reply.
'For five years we have drawn every
lease made by our company right IN
this Office. Ny subordinate here,
Mr.. Johns, is the only man we have
ever found who thoroughly under
stands the complications and condi-
tions of such transactions as we en-
ter into"
The attorneys face frightened.
"This is one of the best drawn
leases / have ever examined" he
said heartily. "You are wise to
handle such matters inside your own
organization. ! commend your busI-
ness judgment"
~Can you suggest any improve
ments? ?"
"None whatever" declared the
lawyer
"Can YOU discern any flaws"
Geographically! Mr.. Johns"
continued the attorney, turning to
the presidents assistant, 81 want to
congratulate YOU, as a lawyer, upon
your thorough grasp Of this most
difficult branch. In my opinion this
instrument is unassailable. 1t will
hold in the highest court of this
state"
"That is what we want-your
honest opinion" said the president.
'You have given it, and we are
much obliged to You and shall be
pleased to have bill for your sery-
Ice Ny dear sir, the highest court
in the state declared this lease null

Beau RrummsI and His Boots.

In the "reminiscences and Recol-
lections OF Captain Grownow," who
was himself famous dandy, occurs
the following anecdote Of Beau
Brummel, the time being 1878; The
dandy's dress consisted Of a blue
coat, with brass buttons, leather
breeches and top boots, and it was
the fashion to wear a deep, stiff,
white cravat, which prevented you
from seeing your boots while stand
ing. All the world watched Brum-
mel to initiate him and order their
clothes of the tradesman who
dressed that sublime dandy. One
day a youthful beau approached
Brummel and said:
permit me to ask you where you
get your blacking;'
"Ah," replied Brummel, gazing
complacently at his boots, "my
backing positively ruins me. l will
tell you in confidence. 1t is made
with the finest champagne"

Ancient Inkstands.

An inkstand that was probably in
use 9,4O0 years ago is in museum
in Berlin. II is Of Egyptian make
and is supposed to belong to the
eighteenth or nineteenth dynasty or
somewhere about 1900 B. c., al
though its real age can only be judg-
ed of approximately. 1t is made Of
wood and has two compartments, an
upper one provided with two holes,
enc for black and one for red ink
and a lower one for holding reed
pens. The black and the red inks
are certainties, for some still re-
mains, in a dry condition, within
the receptacles. Another ancient
inkstand is supposed 10 have been
intended for the use of schoolboy.
1t would certainly hold ink enough
for a schoolboy's needs, for it has no
fewer than four ink holes. Both
inkstands were found at Thebes.
