Charles Kingsley loved talking. had

But his stamner was always checking
him. He gurgled and gasped and
made faces and would sometimes
break off in a conversation or n meal,
rush out into the open air and liber-
ate his suppressed emotions by rapid
exercise or physical eXertion. Yet, as
has often been observed in similar
cases, when lie had to preach the
stammer subsided, and, though there
was some facial contortion, the flow
of the discourse was never interrupt
ed. He said to his friend Tom
Hughes: 81 could be as great a talker
as any man in England but for my

Entertainina Royalty.

Nothing puts bigger feather in

London Saturday Journal, or at the
same time causes her more anxious
cares and thought rather than mere
expenditure than the presence at one
of her dinners or dances In the huge
Mayfair mansion of member of the
royal family-most of all the king and
queen. The entertaining of royalty is
one of the most delicate triumphs the
society woman, whether she be a
duchess or merely miilionairess. can
achieve. 1t has code of etiquette
all to itself-a code which must be
rigidly observed or no hope Is there
of ever securing another visit from a
royal guest of the reigning house. The
number of titled and untitled guests
hidden to meet the sovereign at, say,
dinner party is strictly limited and
of course highly select. On one oc-
casion $4,000 was spent by hostess
In entertaining crowned head for a

that of certain baronet who had a
marble staircase put in his house sole

Columns Of st. Mark.

Two memorable granite columns,
known as the columns of st. Mark,
brought from the Holy Land in 1120
and standing In front of the quay and
landing steps Of the Plazzeta, have
been associated with the fortunes Of
Venice for many years. At first they
lay PROSTATE for long time, while
no one would undertake to raise them.
But a reward offered by the doge at
length induced one Nicolo Barratiero
(Nick the Blackleg) to offer his serv-
ices. He succeeded and claimed as
his reward the privilege of carrying
on between the columns games Of
chance, elsewhere prohibited by law,
To neutralize this as much as possible
1t was enacted that all public execu-
tions should take place on the same
spot. One column is surmounted by
the Lion Of st. Mark. The other car
ries fine figure Of st. Theodore, the
patron saint of the city, who stands
upon crocodile and with sword and
buckler gives token that the motto of
Venice is Defense, Not Defiance"

A Remarkable Escape,

During the reign of terror in Paris
one Of the most remarkable escapes
was that of NJ. de Chateaubrun. He
was sent TO execution with twenty
other prisoners, but after the fifteenth
head had fallen the guillotine got out
of order and workman was sent for
to repair 1t. The six remaining vic
tins were left standing In front of the
machines with their hands tied behind
them. A French crowd is very GU
rious, and the people kept pressing
forward to see the man arranging the
gulllotine. BY degrees NJ. de Chateau
brun, who was to the rear of his com
panions, found himself in the front
line Of the spectators, then I'm the sec
ond and finally well behind those who
had come to see his head cut off. Be.
fore the men could get the guillotine
In working order night began to fall,
and NJ. de Chateaubrun slipped away.
When In the Champs Elysees he told
a man that wag had tied his hands
and robbed him of his hat, and this
simple individual set him free. A few
days later NJ. de Chateaubrun escaped
from France.

CENTRAL BANK BILL

Washington. Dec. What was ac-

the hopes of passing the central bank
bill at this session was found in q
statement issued by Senator Aldrich
today. announcing conferences and
hearings on currency reform both
during and after the session that be-
gins Monday.
Many believe that Aldrich will not
attempt to make any fight for his
central bank idea at this session, but
that he may introduce a tentative bill
TO provoke discussion of the subject.
Today's statement reads:
THE national monetary commission
today agreed to proceed actively with
the work of investigation, to include
conferences and hearings with the rep
resentatives of commercial and other
/ organizations. This work will be car
rled on in Washington until the ex-
piration of the present term, it being
understood that Immediately after al
journment the commission will give
hearings to interested parties in diff
ferent sections of the country. No

Due Precautions.

In town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived 1t to be a place where, II
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached vigorous sermon under
the pines in his shirt sleeves. At the
close Of the open air service one of
his admirers approached him and said
regretfully:
II don't suppose you knew that the
editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
81 reckon knew It well, for I'd been
told Of it," said the preacher calmly.
II don't believe he's as bad as he
might be, and anyway put my coat
on the chair close by and had 1t right
under my eye all the time."-Youths

Sarcastic Cabby,

A certain nobleman, who may be
called Lord X, bears the reputation
Of being somewhat stingy In money
matters. On a wet afternoon he hired
n cab to take him to Victoria station.
Arrived at the station, he handed the
cabman shilling and of course was
met by the inevitable demand for an
extra sixpence.
Certainly not" said the other
promptly. "You came the longest way
as an excuse to extort money. Why
didn't you go through st. James
park?"
The cabman saw he had no chance
and said sneeringly:
Cos st. James park is closed.
That's why"
Nonsense" said the other sternly.
"It's right, though" was the grave
reply. "They say that Lord X. dropped
a shilling coming across the park last
evening, and the gates are closed until
they 6nd it."--London Tit-Bits.
