aited Position Can at Times Be
Absent-Minded.

1t would appear from an incident re-
ported from Vienna that an emperor
is not to be trusted with a pencil.
Some time ago., while holding court in
the royal palace overlooking the Dan
ube, Francis Joseph received a Hun
garian blacksmith who desired to
thank his majesty for the decoration
conferred upon him in recognition OF
his having invented an agricultural
machine.
During the audience the blacksmith
drew from his pocket a photograph OF
the emperor and, handing it to his
majesty, said:
May I ask your majesty for your
autograph"
Il cannot give you my autograph at
the present moment" said Francis Jo-
seph, with a smile, for l have neither
pen nor pencil within reach"
Il have brought a pencil with me"
said the smith, handing it to the EN-.
peror.
Francis Joseph thereupon attached
his signature to the photograph and
dismissed the smith with a smile and
his customary inclination of the head
To the emperor's surprise, the smith
did not retire.

you?" asked Francis Joseph.

The emperor Of Austria-Hungary had
mechanically pocketed it, and he re
turned it with a hearty laugh.
