oosth0 as a joker

On an occasion when Goethe was
staying at the court Of Saxe-Weimar
with his friend Duke Charles Angus
tus one Of the court ladies, when
about to retire for the night, found her
candle suddenly extinguished just be-
fore she reached her bedroom door
Taking no notice Of the occurrence,
she CROPPED along In the dark, but to
her establishment could not find the
door handle. Again and again she felt
her way along the wall, but with the
same result At last she made up her
mind to go to the duchess for advice
The latter, however, was already
asleep, and no help was to be had
from her. The poor lady did not care
to take any one else into her conf
dence for fear Of being laughed at
and so spent some hours In vain
search, only to find at last that Goethe
and the duke himself had with their
own hands taken the door of Its
hinges some time earlier in the even
ing and carefully walled up the en-
trance to the room.

A tall, well gowned young woman
entered one of the department stores,
accompanied by an angelic appearing
little girl of three years. What a
beautiful chlldp the shoppers murmur-
ed as she passed. From one counter
to another the two went, purchasing
gloves. a white lace veil, some rose
pink ribbon, that the mother held I'M
der her daughters chin and then at
her child to see the effect, which the
saleswoman declared perfect All the
time the child was sweetly acquIscent
In all her mothers plans. Once or
twice she spoke quietly to her mother,
who answered her by saying, per
haps, later" and smiled. Suddenly
change came over the angelic face. It
was like great black thundercioud
passing over the face Of the sick.
II won't stop teasing" shrIexed the
angelic one; II won'tl 1 want choco-

rage and determination. Then she
threw her dainty self to the floor and
rolled over and over.-New York Mail.

Dickens, Resemblance to Tennyson.

DICKENS Noncompliance 10 oHuJSo"
Some of the great writer's of the last
century seem to have resembled each
other in physical appearance as well
as in genius. Mr.. Comyns Carr In his
Eminent Victorians" states that he
was struck at one Of Dickens readings
by the resemblance of Tennyson. Aft
erward, on seeing a pencil drawing
which Milals made Of Dickens after
death, he found the likeness to the
poet still more marked, and on the
sketch being shown to Tennyson he,
too, observed the resemblance. He
gazed at it curiously for some min
utes, then exclaimed: why, this Is
most extraordinary drawing. 1t Is ex'
actly like myself" And Lady Dorothy
Nevill in her "reminiscences" tells OF
painting purchased by a friend OF
hers as a portrait of Browning. 1t
was afterward found to be'a portrait
of Dickens, made by an artist friend
at Gad's Hill.

The former was my father. Coe S. Blu

Is the printed case of his suit against
Rowland & Palser of the Fort Edward
mill for the infringement Of the Miller
patent, French process for making
white paper from straw, and upon which
the wood process is based.
He won his suit in 1853. and then sold
the patents to the American Wood Paper
Company, reserving rights. Palser, by
the way, was an employe Of Buchanan a.

republicans threw their influence
against their party; but in four years
the party returned to power under
the leadership Of Benjamin Harrison
without compromising its traditional
principles and policies end with
strength increased.
President Harrison administra-

of our country. 1t was republican
from first to high-minded. cour-

We're disappointed officeseekers; there
were able men whose ambitions con

him and Benjamin Harrison Welded
his great office to the opposition. The
blow was a severe one. and there
were many who then predicted that
the republican party would soon re
