Waue Too Minimum.

An Irish M P. is telling story of
a man who complained to three
friends, an Englishman. Scotchman
and an Irishman, that his servant
was constantly breaking china.
What do you think l ought to
do with herr" he asked plaintive.y.
The practical Englishman said:
Discharge her!" But as she was 9th
erwise an excellent servant, her mas
ter was unwilling to do that.
Then, take 1t out of her wages"
suggested the thrifty Scot.
THAT wouldn't do much good" was
the reply, ''for her wages are less
than the amount of damage she does
Then raise her wages" said
the Irishman promptly.-Pearson's q

AN EGYPTIAN BRACELET
BY CORA JOHNSON.

The collector of antique jewelry
emptied the contents of her jewel
casket on the table, and turned to her
companion, saying:
Here is a bracelet which am sure
you will like. Examine it closely, for
the workmanship is particularly beau
tiful and the large sapphire in the
center almost hawless. 1t has an in
teresting history, for 1t once adorned
the arm of Atossa. an Egyptian prin-
cess.
"One day while visiting Cairo,
stopped at the bazar to make some
purchases. Hating before a jewelers.
booth 1 gazed at the display of an
tiques, rare examples of the ancient
goldsmiths' craft.
Several rings appealed to me, but
l could not quite make up my mind
to buy. The jeweler, schooled through
much dealing with tourists, realized
this, and not caring to miss sale,
took small ebony box from a shelf,
which he unlocked and drew forth this
bracelet, necklace and several am
ulets.
when I eagerly reached for the
bracelet he smiled and said: L knew
that you could not resist the jewel of
Atossa, and when / relate how it came
into my possession 1t will increase in
value tenfold. An ancestress of mine
was the favorite companion of the
princess, not because she was of no
BILE birth, but because the erratic
Atossa wanted the most beautiful
maidens in the kingdom for her as
sociates, and she was among those
| chosen.
Her name was Maroda and she
played on the harp with wonderful
skill.
1.-The princess seldom Joined the
court at its revels, preferring to en-
joy the beauties of the garden on
the housetops, surrounded by her
maidens.
when the Persians invaded Egypt
and Cambyses occupied the royal pal
ace with Pharaoh, Atossa pleaded
with her father until he agreed that
she should live in one section of the
palace, seldom frequented by his
household. Here her privacy would
be respected and she could remain
in retirement until the Persian guests
departed.
lone evening, when the princess
and her maidens were on the house
tops enjoying the cool breezes of the
night, a messenger summoned her to
the kings presence. She was COM
manded to attire herself and her
maidens in gorgeous raiment and ap-
pear before the guests.
"'Atossa refused to obey. and the
infuriated king sent seven soldiers.
each of whom bore a struggling maid
en- to the royal presence. Atossa knelt
before her father, asking for pardon
that she might return to her apart
ments.
1.-The evil had been wrought, how
ever, for Cambyses commanded Pha-
raoh to consent to his marriage with
Atossa. Too late the Egyptian king
realized his grave mistake and re-
fused his consent, for the princess was
little more than a child and Cambyses
long past his youth. Then the Per-
sian king ordered his guards to seize
the princess to crrry her to his
ship.
LAS she left the banqueting hall
she took the bracelet from her arm
and threw 1t to Maroda. Keep this
for love of me-" she said.
my ancestress never saw her
again, and the bracelet has been in
our possession ever since, but need
money and must sell it.

In the first place, It might be said
for the Democrats that they have at

been signed by the governor. Others
are progressing rapidly-and still
more are under consideration in eth
