Pretty EXPENSIVE Steak.

The highest known price ever paid
for beefsteak was at Circle City. Alas
ka. town that sprang up almost in
the night during the klondike gold ex-
element The first steak to reach
there sold for $4S a pound 1t was a
ten pound steak and was sent from a
point fifty miles away. 1t was placed
on exhibition and was such a curiosity
that all the miners turned out In q
body to see it.
Of course every one wanted a piece
of the precious meat, and the prices
offered might have resulted in a gen
eral mining camp quarrel had not some
one thought of rafting the steak for
the benefit Of hospital which a bish-
op was trying to establish for the min
ers at Circle City. Bids started at ST.
a pound and rose quickly to $50. At
last. in order to avoid possible trouble,
1t was decided to sell tickets at prices
ranging from so cents to $3.50 for the
privilege of drawing a slice. After
$3.50 worth Of tickets had been sold
the drawing began. and to the relief of
those in charge of the enterprise no
serious consequences resulted.-Detroit

The Time to Break Il.

There is an anecdote in some volume
of French theatrical memoirs narrat.
ing an experience of Mile Clarion. the
great tragic actress. with a pupil of
hers. girl of strong natural gifts for
the histrionic art. but far too frequent
and too exuberant IN her gesticuia ton.
So when the pupil was once to appear
before the public In recitation Mile
Clarion bound the girls arms to her
side By stiff thread and sent ner thus
upon the stage.
With the first strong feeling she had
to express the pupil tried to raise her
arms only to be restrained By the
thread. A dozen times In the course OF
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desired until
at the very end she could stand it no
longer. and in the climax of her emo.
ton she broke her bonds and swung
her hands to her head.
When she came Off the stage she
went humbly to where Mile. Clarion
was standing in the wings and apollo
gized for having snapped the thread.
But you did quite right" said the
teacher. THAT was the time to make
the gesture, not before"

THE AMBASSADOR.
he Enjoys Many Privileges Net Ae-
corded Mere Minister.

1t is probable that to most of US
the terms "am bassador" and min
lister" mean pretty much the same
thing. There is, however, "a great
difference between the functions Of
an ambassador and minister, since
the former possesses many priv
leges abroad that do not at all per
tain to mere minister.
A curious ambassadorial privilege
is that, when dismissed from an
audience with the sovereign to
whom he is accredited, the ambassa-
dor may turn his back to the court.
In this relation it should be added
that the ambassador is the repre-
sentative of his ruler, while the
minister is the representative of his
country.
When the audience is concluded
the ambassador abroad waits to be
dismissed by the sovereign. When
dismissed the ambassador bows, re-
tires three PAGES, bows again, retires
three PAGES, bows a third time,
turns on his heels and walks to the
folding doors. But when the reign
ing sovereign is a woman a more
polite method is employed. Not to
turn his back would be to resign a
privilege. The ambassador there
fore retires sidewise. He keeps one
side on the sovereign and with the
other manages to find the door. By
this unique means he contrives to
show all politeness to a sovereign
and at the same time to retain his
ambassadorial privilege in retiring
Another privilege Of an ambassa-
dor abroad is that of being usher
ed into the royal presence through
folding doors, both of which must
be flung wide for him. No envoy
save an ambassador can claim this
privilege, the greatest favor in this
respect that can be shown any non
ambassadorial representative con
sisting in the opening to him Of
one door only.
There is one privilege of the am,
bassador, privilege that sometimes
occasions great inconvenience to the
ruler, which consists of his right tc
demand admission to the sovereign
by day or by night. = New York
Tribune.

NEVER SAW HIS FAMOUS FOE.
Wellington at No Time Caught Even

In an article on Waterloo in the

Hon. Sir Edward Morris, prime min

eleven years after the birth of the
future king. One morning the
young Prince of Wales displayed
with pride drawing W%ich he had

horseback lcveling a pistol at the
head of the duke, who was advanc-
ing with sword drawn to cut down
his enemy. Just at this moment
the Duke Of Wellington entered the
princes room.
"Iou are just the man | want to

picture in delight.
GLOW is that" asked the veteran
duke.
"Why, because you can best criti-
else my drawing" said the prince.
"Now, can you tell me who is on
the left?" he went on, showing the
picture to the duke.
"Well," said the latter, "from the
waistcoat and the hat / can see it is
meant for Napoleon"

who is the other?"

NiSjudsed Their Man

Atlanta, Ca, July 22-One of
the many political developments
expected to grow out of the CON-
mutation of Leo NJ. Franks SEN
tence by former Governor Slaton
is expected to be an amusing story
which may be-: entitled "The IN
used Cartoon"
1t is we'll known that an Allan
ia daily paper, once very friendly
but during the last several months
of his administration not so friend
ly to Governor Slaton, counted
confidently on the governor
passing ssup" the Frank case to
his successor, Governor Harris.
Now comes The Dalton Citizen
editoriallyss narrating an amusing
story to the effect that this Allan
ia paper, in anticipation, had pre-
pared cartoon to be used inn
mediatelY upon Governor Slaton's
granting a repreive to Frank. 1t
was to picture Slaton with feath-
ers on his legs, carrying the infer
ence that he.passed the case on to
Harris because of cowardice. This
so the story goes, was expected to
put SlGton down and out political
ly for good.
1t is significant that the news
paper IN question is virtually the
only daily publication in the state
which has not praised SIaton for
at least being courageous. 1t is
the only one which has made no
comment whatever upon the COM
mutation. 1t has not even denied
the ''feather-legged" cartoon story
which the Dalton paper called on
it to do.

Some years ago was inspecting
a railroad roundhouse in southern
Texas, and noticed men going to
the master mechanics clerk and
getting keys. Inquiries brought out
the information that these men
were engineers and fremen coming
in from their runs, who desired to
battle before going home. A record
of the baths has been kept and
showed that practically every crew
availed itself of the privilege of
bathing. There was no way of
measuring the benefit to the rail
road, but it was surely far in ex-
cess of the cost of the baths. Even
where it is not practicable to fur.
nish regular baths, sanitary wash
bowls should be provided, so that
the men can at least clean their
hands and faces before going home.
A man who will walk the streets
with dirty face soon loses his self
respect and ambition.-C. J. Morri-
son in Engineering Magazine.
