Got WRONG "CIRL"
One Occasion When Monarch's
Plans Went Wrong.
Might Be Difference Of Opinion 10 TO
Whether Joke Was on Frederick
or the Corporal.

Those who read history with ar
eye TO the humorous as well as the
impressive. sometimes stumble upor
funny and witty happenings in which
the great we're forced by humble be
ings or by circumstance to play lu
dicrous parts. writes Mark Stuyvesani
liz the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
following incident seems as though II
had been designed to swamp with
laughter the carefully carried-out and
often cruel plans Of Frederick William
l. Of Prussia to have q corps Of giant
soldiers.
1t Is said that Frederick's agents
searched the world for giants. Hag.
gard. to whom we are indebted for this
Information, tells us that Frederick
paid an Irish giant. who was feet
high, the sum Of $500 to enlist, q
veritable fortune In those days.
But Frederick. who was mlserly,
disliked to pay such sums even to
achieve his ambition for an army of
giants. He determined to breed giants
as well as to buy them. Whenever he
found tall young woman he had her
married to one Of his tallest soldiers.
No thought OF the desires OF eith r
was permitted to stand In the way of
his ambition. Sometimes Frederick
resorted to trickery to bring about his
wish.
One day when Frederick was riding
in a forest, he came upon a beautiful
girl about 9 feet in height. She did
not know the king by sight. This
Frederick realized when he stopped
to talk with her. He well knew the
girl could not read, for very few wom-
en- of his day, even of the highest
rank, possessed this accomplishment.
So Frederick asked the girl IL she
would like to earn a thaler or two
by carrying a note to the commander
of nearby fortress. She said she
would like to have the money. So
Frederick wrote note. 1t read:
INSTANTLY have the bearer Of this
married to Corp. Fritz Of the Gren-
adiers."
The unsuspecting girl took the note
and left the king, who continued his
way In the opposite direction. Sud-
denly the girl realized that IL she did
the errand she would be late to an ap-
pointment with her lover. SO she hur-
ried to the hut of a withered old
woman, gave her half the kings money
and the note to deliver. Then this
beautiful. stately girl hurried away
to meet the man she loved.
When Frederick rode into the for
tress that evening, he commanded the
woman who had borne the note to be
brought before him with her husband.
Imagine the shock to the king when
he saw the withered old woman, who
had been married to the corporall
Needless to say. the story did not
remain secret In the fortress. II

Something to
Think Ab0uf
WHAT A MAN READS.
By r. II. WALKER

G OMEONE has said that Charles Z.
~ Hughes. the secretary OF state. did
not read novels or verse while he was
at the university. and that he was so
absorbed In science as to miss all the
poetry and romance OF college life.
To dlsprove this statement the H.
brarian OF the John Hay library at
the recent commencement Of Brown
university showed In a glass case the
very books that Sfr. Hughes had taken
out. They included the regular novel
lists that everybody Is supposed TO
read. and such poets as Tennyson and
Longfellow.
Variety In reading 10 just as peces-
sary as variety In food.
Some good people did not under
stand this when they objected to Dov-
els on principle as frivilous and q
waste OF time.
celebrated man OF science OF the
latter part Of the Nineteenth century
used TO find himself losing interest In
his work every now and then. When
this took place he would shut himself
up with great supply OF dime novels
and read nothing else for week. Then
he would go back to his laboratory as
fresh as ever.
On the other hand. a certain French
novelist, whenever he found himself
In need OF mental rest used to read
the Criminal Code.
Charles Darwin as he grew older
lost all Interest In poetry, but found
recreation In novels with good lively
plots that held his attention.
One reason why detective stories are
so popular with all sorts OF readers Is
because they appeal to the love of
mystery which is almost universal.
II has been said Of Poe that he
would have made a good detective be-
cause Of his gift for fitting together
a criminal mystery. The idea was
that he would have been able to take
criminal puzzles to pieces as well as
put them together. One side of his
work kept him interested In the other.
When boy is at school or college
his reading Is divided into two sorts
voluntary" and 'lnvoluntary." He
reads for pleasure and he reads for
business.
AS nobody's education Is ever fin-
ished the same division should mark
later life.
Mrs. Asquith In her celebrated
Autobiography" tells how she be-
longed to sort OF society the mem
bers Of which agreed to do an hours
serious reading every day.
Doctor johnson said that II man
read any subject for an hour daily he
could not help becoming learned" His
own great difficulty was that he was
unsystematic.
BY reading certain things for recre-
alton and at the same time following
course laid down In advance. a per
son gets the additional benefit of dis
cipline.
In the Eighteenth century they
thought nothing Of reading through
Homer. Virgil and Shakespeare once
year. No wonder they were able to
think In those days.

FORMER PALATKAN HAS
S5th ANNIVERSARY

Friends in Palatka fortunate
enough to remember Mrs. Eliza
Woodson ellis, who resided here for
time. will be interested in an ar
ticle appearing recently in the Ashe-
vile Citizen on the occasion of the
celebration of her eighty-ffth ami
versary. Mrs. ellis is a sister of
Mrs. M. F. Benet, a much beloved
citizen of Palatka. The item appear
ing in the Citizen is as follows:
Mrs. Eliza Woodson ellis received
at her home yesterday afternoon
when many friends called to offer
their congratulations on the occasion
of her 85th birthday anniversary.
The reception was held in Mrs. ellis
woodlawn par5 in the rear of her
Montford avenue residence, the set
ting being a leaf-canopied lawn cir
cled by trees andw allied in by Wild
wood growth.
In the center was the birthday
cake, composed of IS separate cakes,
each with its colored taper, united as
one and set on table covered with
roses sent by friends. The candles,
which served as souvenirs for the
callers, were lighted echoed the love
and admiration in which Mrs. ellis
is held by all who know her, and as
happy auspice the rain which had
threatened in mid-afternoon with
held until the last taper was gone.
