An Artemus Ward Story.

When Artemus Ward was at the height of his fame he received a telegram from Tom Mcguire, then the leading amusement manager of the Pacific slope. It asked Artemus, who was then delivering his funny lecture in New York, what he would take for fifty nights in California. The prompt and laconic response was Brandy and water" Mcguire somehow failed to see the point, and he wired Ward for an explanation. He got it in the shape of thirty word message costing $16.50, for rates were high in those days, which stated that diagram would be sent by the following mail.

Huao's Academic Candidature.

It is we'll known that Victor Hu- go's first candidature for the French academy was unsuccessful. An in- teresting letter of condolence on his failure from the Duchesse d'Ab- rantes has just been printed in an autograph dealers catalogue,
 q have just heard" she writes, "at Mime. Recamier's the academy's decision. 1 wish M. Hugo had been there to hear what M. Chateaubri- and and the others had to say about it. You cannot imagine how indig- nant they were and how fatteringly for M. Hugo they expressed their indignation. The very few academi- clans of genuine talent supported M. Hugo. It is a compliment, is it not, to have been rejected by the fools? He has too much genius and intelligence for those Philis- tines. They would not have known what to do with him at the acad- emy.'
 Not many years were to pass, however, before Victor Hugo had his revenge and secured his election. Westminster Gazette.

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK.

zsfiand of America.
 Within the borders of the Gla- cier National park are attractions for the scientist, nature lover and tourist unsurpassed in any country in the world, tourists of worldwide experience pronouncing it the Swift zerland of America. The elevations in the park range from 3,100 feet to over 10,400. Within its con- fines are sixty active glaciers, these ice sheets being the sources of beau tiful cascades and roaring mountain streams flowing into innumerable clear, placid lakes for which the park is famed, the most noted of these being Lake Mcdonald, Lake St. Marys, Lake Louise, Iceberg lake, Red Eagle lake, Kintla lake, Bowman lake, Waterton lake, Log ging lake, Quartz lake, Harrison lake and Two Medicine lake.
 Lake Mcdonald, the southern end of which is two and a half miles from Belton, is one of the most beautiful lakes in America. It is about 3,150 feet above sea level, nearly ten miles long, two miles wide and surrounded by mountains covered with virgin forests of west ern larch, cedar, white pine, Doug las fir, spruce and hemlock. Upper Lake St. Marys is on the eastern side of the mountains, about thirty two miles north of .Midvale. It is about ten miles long, with a maxi mum width, of one mile, and toward the upper end the mountains rise in rugged walls not far from the waters edge. Its elevation is about 4,470 feet above sea level. ,.. ...
 The principal glaciers in the park are Blackfoot, ;Gripnell, Harrison, Pumpelly, Red Eagle, Sperry, Kint- la, Agassiz and Chaney. In most of the lakes of the park there is excel lent fishing at certain times of the year, and at others many of the streams afford fine sport with hook and line.
 Within the park boundaries there are many varieties of game which are indigenous to this section of the country, such as bear, elk, moose, deer, big horn sheep, mountain goat, mountain lion, as we'll as the small CT furred animals of the forest.- Exchange.

The extent to which the worlds work has been done by invalids is shown by few examples given in a medical contemporary:

 Calvin was in himself almost a pathological museum.
 Frederick the Great was of deli cate constitution and frequently ill.
 Darwin was prostrated by two hours of work daily.
 Johnson was scrofulous and mel ancholic.

Tho Printed Cough.

A singular fashion which prevail ed among the preachers of Crom- wells time was that of coughing or hemming in the middle of the ser mon. The necessity of thus con tinually attracting the attention of the listeners could not have argued we'll for the brilliance of the ser mons. Some authorities say that the preachers coughed merely as an ornament to speech. At any rate, when the sermons were printed, as many of them were, the coughs and hems were always indicated on the margin of the page.

4 GAME IN DEAD EARNEST.
Courageous Acting Which Avertsd
 Panic at Sea.

FantC at oeAs
 |, Captain John Theaker of the Earl of Eldon was homeward bound from Bombay with d load of cotton. A large number of passengers were on board.
 About three days out the captain had good reason to believe that the cotton was smoldering. Any knowl- edge of such a catastrophe would cause a general panic. It was inn possible to put back in the teeth of a northeast monsoon, so the com mander quietly prepared for the in- evitable.
 The passengers, bored from lack of occupation, were amused and in- terested when Captain Theaker pro- posed to play at having a fire on board. He said that they would go through all maneuvers just as if a conhagration were taking place.
 The passengers fell in with the suggestion eagerly. The boats were got ready; provisions were put in, with water, sails and compasses. The seats ill the various boats were allot- ted, and the passengers made up bundles of the valuables they con- sidered the most precious. Thus, quietly, but quickly, the ''joke" was carried out to the full.
 When all was ready the captain calmly told the players that the game was in earnest and that the ship was really on fire, with the flames making toward the powder magazine. The boats were speedily got off, and in less than an hour the explosion occurred.
 The boats were 1000 miles from land, but the weather became fair, and in fourteen days every soul was landed in safety.-"The Still Life of the Middle Temple.''

ExTRAvAGANT? MERCY, NO! SHE
MERELY AIMS TO BE COMFORTABLE
How Mrs. Van Valkenburgh Society Woman, Spends ar
Allowance of 500, 900 Year For Clothes.

! Mrs. Philip Van Valkenburgh says
that no woman who is the wife OF
a millionaire can be really cOmforta-
BILE and have all that she needs, in
Guiding maids and motors, on less
than 100000 a year, especially if
she has a house to keep up. Who is
Mrs. Philip Van Valkenburgh
Well, she's the Mrs. William Hays
Chapman that was-best known as
the $10O,OO0,0O0 widow" because
of the tidy little fortune Mr.. Chap
man left her when he crossed the
great divide, not many years ago,
aged 76 Not long after that she
was welded to the young society
man, Van Valkenburgh, who is not
only of an aristocratic ancestry, but
very wealthy in his own right. Mr..
Van Valkenburgh, by the way, does
not quite agree with the attitude
taken by his pretty wife-has even
been known to refuse utterly to make
good when it came to settling bills
for gowns and other wearing appar-
el-and as a consequence they are
running separate esta blishments just
at present. There is talk of a recon-
citation, however.
This 100000 allowance includes
the necessities of life, says Mrs. Van
Valkenburgh, and hasn't anything to
do with entertainments or charities.
Recently she was making it clear
to a stupid newspaper person just
why a really 'wOmanly woman

HAS STIRRED UP A FURORE
BRYAN'S GRAPE JUICE DINNER
HAS ATTRACTED ATTENTION.
One Critic Would Like to Have a
Photograph of What Those For
eign Guests Thought.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Some of
the notables of Washington life took
part today in the international com
ment on Secretary Bryan's grape
Juice dinner" to British Ambassador
Bryce, which was attended by the
first figures of the diplomatic corps.
Many foreign newspapers have pub
lished editorials upon it and Secreta-
ry Bryan himself has issued a state
ment.
Belva Lockwood, who, among 9TH
er distinctions, bears those of having
been nominated for president of the
United States, one of the original
suffrage and the first woman law
yer admitted to practice before the
supreme court, approves the secre-
tary's discrimination.
Grape juice gaitey is the safe and
sane gaiety," she said, and it does
not leave head in the morning. We
should worry about London's GUS
toms!"
Representative Bartholdt, for years
leader in the campaign to restore
the canteen to the army and also an
advocate of International peace, does
not agree with Mrs. Lockwood nor
Secretary Bryan.
THE diplomats of course were not
in a position to criticise," said he,
"but I would like to have a photo
graph of what they thought Dollar
diplomacy of the republican regime
was the target of criticism, but grape
juice diplomacy, I fear, will be much
less effective as far as our national
prestige is concerned"
