SLIPS or THE TONGUE.
Even the Disnified English Butler css
Co Astray at Times-

Go AAAtdg ~ iiWN@s
A little story which has just
found its way across the Atlantic
from an English country house tells
Of the recent slip made by new
and nervous butler in serving his
master, a duke, AZ the luncheon ta-
bic. Quiet, respectful and assidu-
GUS, he proifered dish with the in
sinuating query:
"Cold grace, your grouse?"
The slip is so obviously nat
ural one that doubtless the tale is
true. Thus far it is also unchal-
lenged as new, although probably
by the time il has made the full
round OF the press somebody will
discover that in its original form
it was an Athenian chestnut" in
the days Of Socrates.
An anecdote which at least be-
longs to the same family used to be
laughed over in early Victorian
drawing rooms.
Z Among the royalties, great and
little, who came to London fox tbs
young queens coronation there
was a certain small, dried up, gray
haired, bright eyed, brisk little old
reigning prince Of tiny principali-
ty. He was faraway cousin to an
Irish duke, whose estates in Ire
land he visited before returning.
For his entertainment village cell
ebration was arranged, with games
and dances, and especially Irish jigs
and clog dances.
The gay old prince was delight
ed. He came himself Of race ia
nous for its dancing. He still pos
sessed a good eve, quick ear and
: a light foot. That same evening in
the great hall Of the castle, to the
whisthng of his hosts con, he en-
dsavored to emulate some Of the
feats he had seen.
The dukes solemn English but
, ler was present, and his horror at
such unroyal antics was reflected in
: his eyes. The prince perceived 1t
: and, shooting a sudden forehnger
at him, demanded imperiously
'Ehi Tell me, then, what you
think Of my dancingl"
/. Discreet and dignifed, but fur
, ried inwgdly, the buffers manner
was perfect, but his tongue betray-
, ed him. He answered:
"Your royal spryness is certain
ly Ugh"
There was a shout Of laughter
and the duke, with assumed anger
! cried sternly: "Whatl Do you dare
! to insinuate that the prince is ele'
vated-that his vivacity is due tt
q any other good spirits than hi
\ own Z"
Before such an accusation th'
poor buffers last remnant OF com
: posure vanished, and, turning wild
: w, with clssped hands, from mn
, highness to his grace, he protested
earnestly:
!, "No, | never, sir, your royal gray

The STOCK EXCHANGE.
0ste Of th First agreement Among
key Tera's nrekers.


key Yera's nrekers.
In the carry part OF March, 1872,
the first notice was printed of the
opening OF stock exchange Office
ut % Wall street by A. l.. Blocker
& Sons, J. Pintard, McEyers & Bar
clay, Cortlandt & Terriers and Jay
& Sutton. These several firms held
auctions Of stock each day at noon,
selling in rotation to insure equal
opportunities for each other.
Some Of the broker specialists re-
sented such a restricted organiza-
ton, and on March 21 a meeting
was called of the dissatisfied brokers
for purposes Of protection, and a
committee was appointed TO pro-
vide a suitable room in which to
assemble and to suggest such rules
and regulations for conducting
their business as the committee
deemed necessary. The final result
Of this meeting, says Moody's Mag
azine, was the first signed agree
ment among dealers in securities,
the oldest record nov in the ar
chives Of the New York Stock Ex-
change. The agreement reads as
follows:
eve, the Subscribers, Brokers
for the purchase and Sale Of Public
Stock, do hereby solemnly promise
and pledge ourselves to each other
that we will not buy or sell from
this day, for any person whatsoever
any kind OF Public Stock at les:
rate than one-quarter per cent com
mission on the specie value, and
that we will give a preference tc
each other in our negotiations. In
Testimony Whereof we have set oul
bands this 18th day Of May, at New
York, 1892"
This organization had no loca
habitation for conducting exchange
business. Like the curb brokers to
day, transactions were carried on II
the open air at a point between th'
present numbers of 68 and 20 Wal
street, under famous old button
wood tree that stood there Will
videspreading branches, which pro
tected them from the suns rays ant
ordinarily inclement weather.
Business in those days was no
rushing, and there was an air o
leisure and quiet about the gather
ing. Securities we're not activ'
enough to empo; all the time o
the brokers, so between times bet
ting on the results Of domestic an,
foreign political controversies ant
dealing in merchandise were In
cluded.
The first inside quarters Of th'
exchange we're secured in 1898
when the Tontine coffee house, a
the northwest corner of Wall an,
William streets, was completed
The old buttonwood tree was aban
doned, and the dignity Of the bro
kers' organization was elevated b.
the change. The Tontine coffe'
house was controlled by charters
company composed Of 203 subscrib
ers at $500 each, organized as
merchants exchange.
The dealers in securities and tn
merchants we're all jumbled up to
gether, and at times when tradin'
was brisk there A. wild excitemen
and shouts that would have don
credit to a band Of Comanche In
dams. No constitution for a stocl

Why Elsie Was Sent TO Bed.
While little Elsie's elder sister,
May, was entertaining her latest ac-
QUESTION, a most dignifed and gen.
teel young man, in the parlor Elsie
was relegated to the dining room to
play with her doll.
This particular one, the possessor
Of a kid body and a bisque head, had
been somewhat ailing of late, owing
to the fact that its head was grad
ually becoming detached and its
pivotal eyes refused to perform
their functions Of opening and
closing. After considerable prob
ing for the cause of the trouble
Elsie made the discovery that there
was something inside of it and final
ly succeeded in extracting a large
roll Of tightly curled hair. A mo
ment later she burst into the par
lor in a great state of excitement
and shouted:
