HIGH PRICES OF CHAIRS.
Dozen Of Louis XIv.'s Day Recently
Sold for 100000.

Dozen of Louis XIv.'s Day Recently
Sold for 100000.
The value OF chairs Is strictly rela-
tive. Enormous prices have been paid
for chairs in recent years. notably
100000 for a set Of half 4 dozen Louis
XIV chairs, upholstered in Gobelin tap
estry, which were originally made for
Marie Antoinette. Even this price, by
the way, was exceeded by the sums
paid for three of the Hamilton palace
tables, one of which brought $4,000.
. A most valuable and historically in
teresting suite. Of furniture Is that
which more than a century ago was
presented by Warren Hastings to Tip
poo Sahib and which was purchased at
the Londesborough sale o $1,000. I'hc
suite consists of Al card ttble,@a sofa,
two small cabinets and four armchairs,
all Of solid ivory most iexquisitely carv-
ed. But probably the most costly chair
in the world is one Of the, many treas
ures Of the shah of Persia. 1t is Of
solid gold, thickly %incrusted with dia-
monds, rubies. pearls and sapphlres.
and it's value is estimated ut 100000.
In the House of Commons at Westmin-
ster are two armchairs which. once be-
longed to Gladstone, and one Of which
was his favorite seat when 1T Downing
street.
IS A short time g Il romantic story
was told in the French papers OF two
dilapidated armchairs which were sold
among the effects of a Nine. Borg, a
widow, who died at Dellys, ia Algerian
seaport town. The widow was reputed
to be rich, but II thorough sea rela OF her
rooms failed to disclose any of her
hoardings, and it was assumed by her
relatives that she had died practically
penniless.
Not long after the sale Of her fur
niture, however, it was observed that
the purchaser of the chairs, a Spanish
stevedore named Perez, ceased to work
and began to walk about in fine
clothes, to purchase land and houses
and generally gave evidence Of having
come into a fortune. Suspicion being
aroused, Perez was arrested, and now
stands accused of having appropriated
to his own use the old lady's fortune
of at least $4,000, which had been CON
cealed by her in the dilapidated arm
chairs.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

But They Never Came Again.

In q rural town In an adjOinin8
jurisdiction there lives an old lady
who is the possessor Of an economical
disposition and TIVE prepossessing
daughters, who are bellies OF the town.
says q writer in the Buffalo Times-
Not long ago, on a Sunday afternoon.
two youths with, a decided liking for
pretty girls drove out to see these two
fair damsels. They were cordially re-
ceived, delightfully."- entertained, and
when supper time came invited to par-
take of the evening meal.
Supper over, they still fingered. Bed.
time came. they still tarried. The old
lady, used to early hours. went to bed
at . O'clock. but the two young men
found no fault with that,
Waking from q sleep of several hours
and seeing Il light still burning. the old
lady called:
"Matiida!''
