Original Potato King.

John Pounds, an English cobbler, was the original potato king. He cob bled shoes for sailors in Portsmouth and was grieved by the sight of the ragged boys who ran about the quays. He set himself the task of rescuing them. A hot potato was a wonderful dellcacy for these youngsters. John Pounds set his bait. He offered hot potatoes to boys who would come to him and be taught to read and write. Often he was seen pursuing a boy along the wharves holding out a potato like a farmer trying to catch a colt with a feeding Of oats. Usually John Pounds and the hot potatoes won. He crowded his narrow workroom with his charges. When he died 1t was reported of him that he had saved 800 children to useful citizenship.-Toledo Blade.

Swatted Ills Egotism.

 eve often heard" said the lady, "that SCotsmen who leave their couD- try are, generally speaking, much cleY- erer than those who stay at home"
 "Oh, yes," replied the Scot, with an attempt at wit. You see, the reason is that at every outlet there are persons stationed who examine all who pass, so that for the honor of the country no one is allowed to leave who Is not able to uphold his own and his country s dignity"

OilcIoth as e Cure.

Pretty soon after the new arrival in one of New York's big hotels had been assigned to his room he telephoned down to the office for two strips of Oil- cloth.
 Another one," said the clerk after assuring the guest that the oilcloth would be sent up immediately. "He is a sonnambulist, l suppose. We keep strips of oilcloth in reserve for fellows like him. They spread 1t on the floor at either side of the bed. Stepping on cold oilcloth when he gets out of bed is pretty likely to awaken the most confirmed sleepwalker and prevent nocturnal wandering"

THE SPLIT PEARLS.
An Old Persian Fable of the callph and
 His Faithful Slave.

An Old Persian Fable of the callph and
 His Faithful Slave.
 The most beautiful of all Persian fables, perhaps, Is called "The Split Pearls" and relates how the couriers of a certain calph marYeled at his choice of an Ethiopian slave for his constant attendant and at the high honors he bestowed on this fellow, who had no special distinction of beauty, strength or grace, Thereupon the caliph told them that, though the slaves features were not fair kind ness beautfied them.
 Once, when a camel of the calph's train tripped in a narrow street, cas- ket fell, broke, and rich pearls fell eV- erywhere. The caliph nodded to his at- tendant slaves to pick them up, saying that they might have them for them selves, and they all rushed to pick up as many as they could.
 One alone remained behind the ca liph, the Ethiopian. who did not move. Turning to him, the caliph asked him what he was doing, lingering there, and received the answer that his duty was faithfully to guard his master, and he had sufficient reward in doing that. No one could be called faithful servant who forgot his duty to his mas ter for the sake of the gifts his master gave.
 Therefore" said the caliph, "I keep him at my side, for be has shown him. self to be possessed of the brightest jewel a man can possess, the jewel of ss."-Argonaut.
