Wise Men of Gotham.

"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 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.
hut not in a silly fashion. told one an
other that there were more fools that
passed through Gotham than remain
in IL.

Romance of an Inkstain,

Pens and furniture used in the sign
ing of famous treaties and documents
recall Archibald Forbes experience
after Sedan. After witnessing Napo-
Icons interview with Bismarck at a
wayside cottage and his subsequent
surrender Forbes and a fellow war
correspondent slept at the chateau
which the fallen emperor had occupied
the night before. The bedroom was
just as Napoleon had left it and by the
bed the open book with which he had
read himself to sleep. 1t was Lytton's
Last Of the Barons." Sitting at the
adjoining writing table. Forbes wrote
his dispatch, while his companion
gnawed at ham bone, their sole re-
mainder Of food. Irate at the little
eating it furnished, he flung it across
the room and upset the inkstand into
which Forbes was dipping. When
Forbes revisited the chateau month
or so later the inkstain was pointed
out as caused by Napoleon's rage on
learning the German terms Of peace!-
