Reasons For Pride.

There was present ut certain big
dinner In England many years'ago an
American woman Of prominence who
was somewhat annoyed by q tactless
Englishwoman who undertook to ban
ter her and who said:
II take it for granted that you have
no coats Of arms in your new coun-
try"
"Of course no American family could
hive one unless 1t was borrowed from
English ancestry" replied the former
American.
''FOr instance. has your family any
especial cause for pride over your
grandfatherT persisted this particu-
larly tactless female cad.
Then the American woman opened
up and replied as calmly as possible
under the circumstances, "NOt much
perhaps. only that my grandfather on
my mothers side received Burgoyne's
sword when he surrendered ut Sara
toga and my grandfather on my fa-
theirs side received the sword Of Corn
wallis at Yorktown"

In Schurmann's Secrets de Cou-

summit Of his fame. When Ibsen had
completed q new play the Copenhagen
newspapers announced the event with
a great flourish Of trumpets, and
added: '.The master will deposit his
manuscript at the National theater at
10 O'Clock tomorrow morning." At
that hour the road between Ibsen's
house and the theater was lined with
people. The great man appeared with
his precious. roll of paper neatly tied
up. As 1t slipped through into the
letter box the public gave a great
shout The philosopher acknowledged
the demonstration with a grave bow
and retired within doors with the con-
sciousness Of having performed a
glorious mission. Every one of his
ordinary acts In public was accom-
panied by something Of the sort, and
even when he sat the curtains Of the
window were drawn aside SO that his
features might be visible to his ad-
mirers outside.
