Wise Men Of Gotham.

A "wise man of Gotham is a fool,
but the phrase arose through the real
wisdom of the people that lived in the
English town of Gotham. The story
goes that King John of England once
visited the town with the intention of
seeing a castle that he thought of TAX
ing for himself But the Gothamites
did not care for the nearness of roy
atty and the expense they would be
put to if the king should have a house
there, and so they cooked up scheme
to drive him away. When the king ar
rived with his company of followers
and rode through the town he saw all
the inhabitants of Gotham going
through the most foolish of tasks. each
person with a silly smile on his face.
The king was Disguised with them.
He would not live among crazy people.
and so he rode on through the town
and did not stop for the castle. Then
the wise men of Gotham, still smiling
but not in silly fashion. told one an
other that there were more fools that
passed through Gotham than remain

incident illustrative of the tribe took
place recently at a stable ON North
Broad street. where an irresponsible
settler had succeeded in palming off a
defective horse on too easy buyer.
The new owner turned up with the
horse few days after the purchase
and angrily exclaimed. Didn't you
say this horse was perfectly safe and
wouldn't trouble anybody" The deal
er coolly asked. whats the matter
with the horse?" The dupe replied:
"You know we'll enough. He inter-
feres badly" With curt "Well. he
doesn't interfere with anybody but
himself. does he?" the fake dealer
brushed the matter aside, and the pur-
chaser found himself without RENE

Pleasing the Sultan.

Kaid Bolton told the following story,
which illustrates exactly the attitude
Of the sultan Of Morocco toward the
French:
One day the sultan asked a lady, the
wife of his dentist, to play one of the
pianos that were in the room of the
palace. She played several pieces, one
Of them at length catching the sultan's
fancy. whereupon the following little
dialogue took place:
Sultan - That piece is very nice
What is it called?
Dentist-It is the March on Cadiz."
1t was written to commemorate the
Spaniards driving the French out of
Spain.
Sultan-What! Were the French in
Spain?
Dentist-Yes
Sultan-How many of them?
Dentist-About 100000.
Sultan lin surprised tone)-And the
Spaniards drove them out?
Dentist-Yes, every one of them.
There was slight pause while the
sultan was thinking hard. and then:
Sultan (quietly)-Play it again.
