Former Sultan M0urns

Sometimes after sitting alone for a
long time at his table wrapped in
gloomy meditations he strikes the table
with his fist-a thing he had never
before been in the habit Of doing
and cries, 'Nalet Olsun! Nalet Olsunr'
(Malediction. MaledictionD Sometimes
he gets his wives to draw cards and
make revelations about his future, but
before this operation is finished he gets
up suddenly and goes away, saying,
y.Bachen Shell Bachen Sheir' tFutility!
Futilityi) At times when overcome
with fatigue he falls asleep only to
wake up with a start and rush around
the room as il pursued by phantoms. -
So writes f. McCullagh in T. P.'s
Weekly.

The Two Andrees

1t is the kaiser's custom at an m
spection of troops, says the Throne and
Country, to put questions to the men
concerning their families. Among the
troops was a trooper named Andree.
On hearing this name the kaiser smiled
"Ah,o he said, $50 you are called An
dree. Do you know that you have a
celebrated namesake-an explorer of
the polar regions?' Il know, your
majesty" replied the soldier. Who
told you?" demanded the kaiser. My
captain, sire was the reply All,
your captain, and what did he say
about Andree?" "He told me, SIRE"
answered the trooper without moving a
muscle. that he had only one wish,
and that was that the other Andree
had taken me with him, SO that he
would never have seen me again.
