Fee Was Lost.


The age and dullness of the miscel'

Royal Society of Medicine on one oc-

OBJECT LESSON MISSED FIRE
UneIe's Idea Of Teaching His Country
Nephew Caution Proved Some
thing of a Failure.

A youth from the country was pay
ing his first visit to New York, and,
accompanied by his uncle, a leading
banker, went to the theater, says the
Pathfinder. While waiting in the
lobby before the performance the
country boy flung back his coat and
with hands in his pockets displayed
heavy gold watch-chain. The uncle
observed the act and resolved to teach
him lesson.
While the young mans attention
was diverted the uncle slipped the
watch and chain from his vest, and
they entered the theater.
What time is it?" he asked wher
they were seated.
The boy felt for his time-piece anC
found It was gone. Allowing him t.
make a thorough search Of it, the
uncle told him he had taken it anC
read him a sharp lecture. you are
not in the country now, you know
where you can display valuables will
impunity. You should be more care
full. Let this be a lesson to you"
So saying he slipped his hand int
his overcoat pocket where he hat
put the watch. To his utter disma.
he found it was gone. And whel
he looked to see if his own was saf'
he found that also had taken wings.

FOUND HAPPINESS IN LABOR
Sensible " Unusual Course Followed
by Man Who Had Millions at
His Command.

A forceful lesson In the human ma
ture which rules US AL may be gath
cred from the experience Of the young
man who, inheriting a large fortune,
was wise enough to realize that no
man. rich or poor, can find happiness
except in work and accomplishment,
says the Boston Herald.
This man. while still in college, fell
heir to several millions. but tired of
the futility of an existence In which
there was no element OF difficulty, left
his home and college, obtained en-
ployment on the construction line of
a railroad, rose on his own merits to
be section boss and now reports
himself thoroughly happy.
His action was futile and foolish
for one who might use the power of
wealth for his pleasure and others
good, 1t may be said, but 1t shows
that he realized the real unhappiness
Of those who try to be happy without
the stress of work, be 1t self-imposed
or necessary for self-support.
No men are more unhappy than
those from whom circumstances have
removed the pressure which requires
hard work, and who have not had
either the willingness or foresight to
force themselves to tasks which call
for their best and utmost endeavor.
Often, indeed, 1t may seem that moth
ing would be pleasanter than a life of
luxurious idleness, but one has only
to see the victims of such living to
be disabused of this delusion.
In this country the privileges and
responsibilities of great inherited
wealth have been but recently ex-
perienced, and the very newness of
such possessions has led many to
waste their lives in the futile quest of
pleasure. Luckily today more and
more of the sons of rich men have
grown to understand that they can
lead a satisfactory existence only if
they live much as others do, using
their wealth rather to enlarge the re.
suits of their work than to- escape
it's call.

NATIONS OF WIDE DIVERGENCE
AIbanians and Turks Have Not, and
Seemingly Never Can Have,
Anything in Common.

perhaps one of the reasons that
the Albanians have never really sub
mitted to the Turks lies in a funda-
mental incomPatability between the
Albanian and Turkish character"
says returned traveller from the
Balkan. THE Turks are melancholy,
even tragic. The Albanians declare
for happiness. The story is told of
some Albanian soldiers who saw a
performance of Karaguez, in which a
love story was acted, but without
bringing the lovers together at the
finish. The Albanians wouldn't have
it for a minute. They flourished their
revolvers and yelled: Make them
happy! Make them happy And
happy they had to be made before
peace could reign again. The Al
banians live in a high, mountainous
country, with deep valleys in be
tween ranges. Even in times of peace
they are in constant warfare with the
| Turks. There will be a frontier Incl
dent and then over the border int
Montenegro flee the Albanians. Thu
| Montenegrins help them in their eff
forts at reprisal against the common
foe. the Turk. Albanians are grea
on blood feuds. The Italian vendetts
is a mild diversion beside the Al
bantam blood feud. The English won
an, Mary Edith Durham. traveller ant
war correspondent, is friend of the
Albanians. She often lives among
them and is their trusted friend.

Modern Fountain Of Wine.

A fountain of wine is one of those
historical extravagances which are
generally associated with the name of
Nero; yet as recently as Sunday. July
10, the public fountain of Wangen. in
the Alsace wine country, flowed with
wine. In the middle ages the COM
mune Of Wangen was sentenced to
make an annual payment to the
monastery of Strasburg of four hun
dred measures of wine. In 1898 the
payment was abolished by the direc-
tory. Under Louis XVIII. two mer-
chants secured the transfer of the
payment TO them. by means of forged
documents, for $3.50; but the COM
mune commenced proceedings against
them, In which It was victorious on
July IS, 1880. Since that date COM
munal festival has been held on that
day, and from the public fountain
erected to commemorate the victory
wine flowed for one hour in the day
