Served Morphine With Potatoes.

The unusual popularity OF a San
Francisco restaurant was accounted
for when Detective Nelson Mathew
son discovered that the proprietor
served morphine with mashed pota-
toes. Men and women were seen
sinking in. hands trembling, lips quiv-
ering. their eyes dull. When patrons
emerged their step was buoyant, their
lips wreathed in smiles and their eyes
a-sparkle.
Mathewson paid for a meal and
plunged a fork into the center of the
Gish of mashed potatoes and penetrat-
ed the secret. The proprietor was ar
rested charged with violating the state
poison law.

When the Dean demonstrated.

The Manchester Guardian says this
is true story from the front; Two
Tommies wandering on a part OF the
line with which they were not famil-
lar found on many OF the trenches
neatly painted signs displaying the
names with which their occupants had
labeled them. They came to a trench
marked THE Deanery." "'Ello." ex-
claimed one Of the Tommies. "hif ere
amt a d deanery!" At that IN
stant head popped out OF the trench
and the chaplain retorted: Yes, my
man. and I'm the d dean. so please
moderate your language"

PAID M CORN AND RYE.
Two Ola Tins Offenders and the Way
They Were Punished.

Two poets. both honest and peaceable
and one u Quaker, were fond of telling
anecdotes of two old time delinquents.
the one quarrelsome and the other
thievish. John Greenleaf Whittier was
exceedingly fond Of quoting the lines,
handed down from time immemorial In
the Haverhill countryside:
The man who whipped old Timothy Swan
Paid his fine in Indian corn.
He paid his fine and he paid it quick
A peck of corn for every lick!
Whether the fine imposed on old Tin
othy's assailant was judicially decreel
and legally assessed nobody knows
But in the case of fine of three bush
els of rye once ordered paid by Ebe
nezer Smell, grandfather of William
Cullen Bryant, it is quite certain that
neither judge nor jury had anything to
do with the matter. Nevertheless 1t
was paid and promptly.
.Niy grandfather" Bryant used to re
late, "once found that certain pieces OF
lumber, intended for the runners OF a
sled and called in that part Of the coun-
try sled crooks, had been taken without
leave by farmer who lived at no great
distance. Such timbers were made
from q tree, the grain Of which was
curved so as to correspond with the
curve required in the runners.
"The delinquent received notice that
his offense was known and that II he
wished to escape a prosecution he must
carry bushel of rye to each OF three
Door widows living in the neighbor
hood and tell them why he brought It,
He escaped prosecution. But II the
tongues Of the three poor widows were
as lively as those of most country COS
sips and the public opinion Of the VII
lage as strict as In most New England
communities lie did not escape punish
ment good deal in excess OF three COM
pulsorily bestowed bushels OF rye

The Eraoonard Panels.

The celebrated Fragonard panels had
their inception, it is said, in the lavish
expenditures of the Countess du Barry
They were designed for her chateau,
but never adorned ii, owing to dis
mite between the painter and the kings
favorite. Mime. du Barry, notwith-
standing her lowly origin, was extreme
" critical in matters of art and was
dissatisfied with these pictures. which
are among the greatest prizes or the
connoisseurs of today.

A WORD ABOUT THE SCOT
And the Influence He Yields All Over
the World.

And the Influence He Wields All Over
the World.
Wherever the Scotchman goes he be-
comes leader. You hear Of the Irish
vote. the German vote, the Italian
vote, but you hear only of Scottish
leadership. He has had powerful IN
fluence on our country.
Our first newspaper was published
nv a Scotchman; Scot first won In
ternational honors for American let
tiers: the steamboat, telephone, tele-
graph and electric light were devised
by men of Scotch descent. The second
college in our land was founded by
Scotch divine; our constitution was
framed and adopted largely by the In
fluence of two Scotch lawyers; our
most ma jestic orator, our most WIN
ming politician, our most metaphysical
statesman, our greatest diplomatist
and our greatest poet were OF scotch
lineage. So Of many Of our business
captains and railroad magnates, almost
one-half of our presidents and large
proportion of our cabinet memDers,
Judges and governors. Was there ever
such drain Of leadership upon like
area?
The Scotch have not alone helped
make America. They control Austria
liza. direct New Zealand, lead Canada
and rule Africa. For centuries Scot
and Briton were bitterest enemies. Ed
inbursh and Paris conspired against
London. The union when 1t finally
came was one Of crowns and not OF
hearts. There still turks Jealousy un-
der the surface. Write letter to
loyal Glasgonian, address 1t North
Britain" and see what happens.-Sam-
mel p. Orth in Century.
