HORSE KNOCKED DOWN

 Constable Gardner emphasized the fact that the lumber wagon and new harness was not in the sale and must be returned Some one, wishing to proong the diversion, asked to have the horse put through his paees, so he was driven about the public fountain in the square to the delight of the wits in the crowd who spied his one unshod foot and let hy their choicest bits of repartee.

Stretching Span Of Lie.

The publication Of a monumental
work by viscount Bryce at the ripe
age of eighty-three should persuade
many Of us who want to feel what il
Is like to be an octogenarian that old
age can be attained without the aid
Of thyroid glands borrowed from the
monkey, says a writer in the London
Chronicle.
One Of the secrets Of old age would
seem to be q lifetime of intellectual
activity, and a lions share of public
service. 1t Is quite astonishing the
number Of public men living at the
present day who have passed theii
elghtieth birthday. Lord Charming is
in his eighty-frst year; Viscount Nor
ley Is eighty-three; Mr.. Frederic Har-
rison Is close on ninety; Sir Henry
Poland is still vigorous letter writer,
ninety-one, while the earl of Halsbury
is nlnety-seven, and possibly there are
others.

Survey says that it Is Zone Of the
outposts of American education In q
country which, recently freed from the

Hampton college is famous here. A
quarter Of the students are orphans
and refugees; they represent ten ma
tlonalities and will be the future mis-
sionarles Of the American Idea Of co
operative constructive works. While
much of the work. by It's very nature

ONLY MET MOTHER FORMALLY
Empress Of Austria Was Received
by Her Children in the Most
Approved Manner.

Unless she gave "a hours notice the
beautiful Empress Elizabeth of Aus
tria, consort of the late Emperor Fran
els Joseph, was forbidden by the iron
etiquette of the court to see her own
babies.
They were strangers to her practi-
cally from the day Of their birth, and
in his book, Royal ROmances and
Tragedies" Charles Kingston tells how
once an elderly physician yentured to
suggest to the emperor that If Eliza
beth saw something Of her children
she might awaken out Of the melan-
choly trance into which she had
fallen.
For time Francis Joseph angrily
declined to vary the rigid rule which
required her to give notice of her in
tention to the chamberlain.
Even when the visit took place, 1t
was not case of happy little children
welcoming their mother with cries Of
delight First the royal gOvernesses
had the children dressed In stiff, cere-
monlal clothes, and then drilled In the
way they were to receive their mother
On the appearance of the emperor,
therefore, the tiny tots, who under the
Austrian system of education had no
chance to be human, simply bowed az
though they were elderly courtlers, the
only sign Of childhood being their ter,
rifed stares at the august lady

AND SHE COULDN'T DENY IT
One Time That Mr.. Hogg Scored on
the Partner Of His Joys
and Sorrows.

Former Senator John w. Weeks was
lately recalling some of the happy
days of the long ago In Washington.
In those days, he said, there were
such things as bars, and his friend
Hirbutus Hogg, spent a great deal
of his time on the fringe Of the Gases.
One night after an unusually long
sojOurn near his favOrite bar, Mr..
Hogg navigated painfully home and at
last reached his bedroom. Mrs. Hogg
was waiting for him.
"Hirbutus," she said, after a swift
appraisal of his condition, II am
ashamed Of you--utterly ashamed.
You are a Hogg by name and hog
by nature"
Eyes, m'dear," replied the prOdigal,
meakly, but even at that l have the
advantage over you. You are a HOgg
by name, but you became q HOgg by
choice. Exchange.
