Wonderful Stones,

The brain of the tortoise was
onc supposed to contain q wonder
full stone which was eficacions in
extinguishing fire and when placed
under the tongue would produce
prophetic inspiration. Another stone
possessing the latter property was,
so it was said, to be found in the
eye of the hyena.
The head of the cat, however, in
those ancient days was thought to
contain what would undoubtedly
have been the most wonderful and
most desirable treasure of all could
it have only had a real instead of an
imaginary existence, for that man
who was SO fortunate as to posses
this precious stone would have all
his wishes granted. - Chambers

opponent with responsibility for
certain legislative acts which were
not popular with the people Of the

conscription In Rome.

In the earliest period of Roman
military history all ablebodied citi-

in chief were compelled to serve in
the army in time of war. II was
under Servius Tullius, sixth king of
Rome, that the first real organiza-
ton took place. The armies we're
recruited by means Of tribal levies
made in a general public assembly,
and each tribe was called upon to
furnish an equal number of men.

But Potter Palmer Handed q Severe
jolt to A. 7. Stewart.
At the time of the war between
the north and the south Potter
Palmer was in the dry goods bust
ness in Chicago, and Levi 2. Letter
and Marshall Field were working
for him. Palmer wasn't SO well
known, but he had q good reputa-
ton in the trade, and he didn't
have to introduce himself when he
called on old A. t. Stewart to buy
some goods. After some dickering
they agreed upon the price, and
Palmer said that he would take
about 100000 worth. 1t was a lit
tie larger bill than Stewart exactly
cared to sell young Palmer on cred
it, but he concluded to make the
deal and told him to come in the
next morning and arrange some final
details.
That night some big war news
came, and it didn't require any
declaration by the government to
inform every dry goods man in the
country that the price of goods
would take a big squirt up. Stewart
recognized it is Dor as he had the
news, and he Immediately thought
of Palmer. He also thought of the
big bill Of goods Palmer had bought
of him.
1t didn't particularly tickle Stew
art, that thought didn't. But it re-
CURED only a few scratches of his
red head to fix things to his salts
faction. He would simply tell Palm
er that he was sorry, but that he
didn't feel that he could sell such a
big bill on credit, and as he knew
that Palmer couldn't raise the cash
Immediately, why, that would end
it, and the sale would be off.
Well, young Palmer called early,
and Stewart greeted him in his very
abruptest manner, telling him how
sorry he was, etc., but really he
didn't think it wise business to ex-
tend credit for such an amount.
Gust how much does the bill
come to-" said young Palmer, seem
ingly sorrowful-like.
"Just $11O,000," Stewart replied,
and then he straightway gulped for
breath as young Palmer drew an i'm
mems pocketbook from his inside
vest pocket and, opening it, counted
out 10 thousand dollar bills and,
laying them quietly on Stewards
desk, said: eff you will kindly count
them and give me a receipt III be
obliged, as l must take the next
train home. Ship the goods as soon
as you can, and when you're out our
way drop in. Always glad to see

GAVE HIS FRIEND HFACEn
A Story That Throws . Light on the
Chinaman In Business.

trates the loyalty of the Chinese in
friendship is told by Mr.. Isaac Tay-
lor Headland in Home Life In Chi
ma" MI. Burt, a former president
of the Union Pacific railroad, was
staying with Major Conger, the
American minister in Picking, says
Mr.. Headland, and wanted to get
some choice pieces of the best Chi
nese porcelain. l was asked wheth-
er l could go with MI. Burt, which
| was glad to do. In one of the
shops We found a large and very fine
Yung Cheng vase.
"Ask him how much he wants for
it," said Mr.. Burt. / did so, and
the man answered:
''Three hundred and fifty dol
lars"
81 think l shall buy it." said Mr..
Burt, "but not today"
/ was 30 busy with my work the
next morning that / could not 60
shopping, and so while Mr.. Burt
and a friend who could talk Chi
nese we're wandering along the
street they dropped into the shop
again and inquired the price of the
vase.
"Four hundred dollars" said the
dealer.
"But," said Mr.. Burt, che told
MI. Headland yesterday that it was
$780,"
-Four hundred dollars" repeated
the merchant.
When / called on Mr.. Burt that
afternoon he said to me:
GLOW much did that man want
for that Yung Cheng vase when we
called on him yesterday"
"Three hundred and fifty dol
lars" / answered.
"Well, we were down there this
morning, and he asked us four hun
dred for it."
"We'n inquire again this after
noon," / said.
When we got to the shop | said
to the dealer, GLOW much is this
vase?"
"Three hundred and fifty dol
lars"
l turned to Mr.. Burt and said,
'He says the price is $3.50"
"He told us four hundred this
morning"
/ said to the dealer, "Why did
you do that?"
"To give you face" he answered.
The dealer thought they suspect
ed that / was getting a commission
on the vase and that they might be
able to buy it cheaper if they were
alone. He intended to show them
that both he and I were honest men
and that there was no collision be-
tween us. Such is the attitude of a
Chinese merchant toward his friend.

Americans in England
Must Pay Heavy Taxes

LONDON. March 4.-Wealthy Amer
leans residing in Great Britain must
pay thousands of dollars more than
heretofore as "A result of the Increased
income tax. Additional war and super
taxes bring the present average to 12Ia
per cent. Incomes above $4,000 are sub
ject to % per cent tax.
Those hit hardest are Americans. who
paw an income tax in America. and, ac-
cordihg to laws adopted last year, Eng
lishmen are taxed on dividends from
securities held In America,
william Waldorf Astor Is thus COM
PEELED to pay heavily on his income re-
ceiyed from large investments in Ameri-
lea as well as here. together with other
expatriates.
Some prominent American women here
have reduced the number of their serv-
ants to help meet expenses.
A number of Americans who pay
taxes on both sides OF the Atlantic have
inquired of the American embassy IL il
Is possible for them to be relieved of
the British taxation.
These will be Informed that recently
the embassy placed before the Secretary
of the Treasury the most plausible cases
brought to their attention, but the
Treasury answered that II could see no
reason TO ask Great Britain to refrain
from taxing Americans who are content
to live in Great Britain, knowing that
their income also Is taxable in Amer
lea.
