freshman Founded British Museum

Irishman Founded British Museum.
The British museum had its origin
n an Irishman's bequest. The person
.eferred to was Sir Hans Sloane, a
celebrated physician and naturalist,
who was born in County Down, Ireland,
April 10, 1860. After receiving thor
)ugh literary and medical education he
became physician-general to the Brit
sh army, physician to the king, and
succeeded Sir Isaac Newton as presi-
lent of the Royal society. He spent
several years in the West Indies, was
much interested in the development Of
the American colonies and was an ac-
tive promoter In the settlement of
Georgia. In 1749 he made a will be-
lueathing to the nation splendid col
lection Of books and natural history
specimens which had cost more than
s250,O0O, on condition that the govern
ment pay his family 100000. After his
death, In 1853, an act Of parliament
was passed accepting the gift and pro-
viding quarters for 1t. This was the
beginning Of the great museum.

<<Y SEEN Max Maikafer In the

Louis Birsky, the real estater,
to Barnett Zapp, the waist manufac-
turer, as they met for luncheon at the
corner table In Wasserbauer's. "He
tells me he Is going to make from his

"Some people don't give a swear

commented.

would enjoy 1t to see his son break his

"What are you talking nonsense

exclaimed.
"A scaffold Is just as dangerous"
Zapp went on. Yesterday am seeing
a couple fellers painting from the side
of a building ten stories high, and
even though one of them was an Ital-
iener, 1 got so dizzy watching 'em that
before l could eat my lunch at all 1t

earn my living as painter, would

cause while the funeral expenses is

"You got the wrong idea, Zapp,"
Birsky said. "Maikafer's boy would
be not a house painter but a picture
painter"
! "A picture painter Zapp cried.
"And l thought Max Maikafer was
business man. Why don't he learn the
boy trade where he could make real
big money, like buttonhole maker or
a poet?"
"That only goes to show what you
know from pOets," Birsky retorted.

Store, Indianapolis, told me that right
now there is Teller which from only
being poet Is now owning most of
the gilt-edged real estate In the city

I "Sure, know" Zapp declared, "but
this here Teller was an old established

a bigger opening for poet than there
Is for a picture painter. Take the

"Say, there Is a popular price line

Birsky shrugged his shoulders.

HIS ALL-lMPORrANT QUESTION
Many Things Happened While Eager
Young Man Wsited Answer That
Meant So anch to Him.

He had asked her a question of the
greatest Importance and one which re
felt warranted an immediate reply.
She seemed very calm and collected
herself much as an Indianapolis street
car conductor would collect a nickel
fare and one cent for transfer.
As ne searched her face and found
nothing but a small brown mole near
the end of her nose he knew that she
must answer his question. Something
told him that she would, but, of
course, he didn't know what. Slowly
a hectic flush began to suffuse her
cheeks. He didn't even know what
hectic meant and, therefore, didn't APP
preciate one when it suffused. he
would have recognized a straight flush
In an instant.
Must he hound her for a reply2
Nope; decidedly nope. dcst he ask
her again? Nope-er--that is to say,
yep-or rather, yes ma'ain.
