Tho Cars snuffbox.

Car Paul's snuffbox was as sacred
as the imperial crown itself. No one
was allowed to touch it. Kapioff wa.
gered that he would take a pinch out
Of it. One morning he walked up to
the table which stood near the bed Cd
which the car still reclined and bold
" took from it the majestic snuff
box. Opening it noisily, he inserted
his fingers, and, while Paul I. was
watching him in stupefaction at such
audacity, he shifted up the fragrant
powder with evident satisfaction.
"What are you doing there, you
rogue?" exclaimed the car excitedly.
Having pinch of snuff, sire. I
have now been on duty for eight hours
and. feeling drowsy. thought 1t
would keep me awake. for I would
rather break the rules Of etiquette
than neglect my duty"
Paul burst out laughing and merely
replied:
"That's right enough, my lad, but as
the snuffbox is not large enough for
both Of us you can keep it for your.
self.''

Scotch Students.

Many a man who never had any
schooling gets an education, and
often surprisingly good one.
A traveller in Scotland once met a
farmer whose ground rent was about
500 year and who wrote poetry n
Gaelic that was of high order.
This same traveller met a youth in
Scotland who rode from home on
horseback to the seaport and then
across Scotland to Aberdeen. where he
sold his horse to enter the university.
1t is related of another Scotchman
that he was overheard repeating line
Of Tennyson. whereupon some one ask
ed him what poet he liked best.
"Homer." he replied.
Whose translation do you readY'
Il rarely read a translation" he
said. wiping the fish scales from his
apron. Il like best to read Homer in
the original Greek."-Minneapoli Trib-

GOV. HARMON'S OPPORTUNITY

Some manufacturers were willing to
put up money TO secure law which
would enable them to buy their In
surance cheap from concerns which
were TO be given unfair advantage
over other insurance companies.
Other manufacturers were out to buy
the defeat of bill to prevent them
working women more than nine hours
day, and still other interests put
up for a gerrymander bill which would
remove from the bench Judge Blair,
who so courageously revealed the
vote-selling degradation in Adams
county.
II is most unfortunate that this
skulduggery should develop under the
administration OF Gov. Harmon, who
has done much to give Ohio an hon.

tional figure by seeing to II that
