I f I ! A Collectors Bargain. Lord Spi'iK cr of Altuorp, cue of the greatest of book collectors, wtis at liouie only In his own tk-kl. One day In hrowslnj; uliout Bond street. Lon don, lie went into the shop of n dealer in lirii' a-hrae. The dealer, who knew liini liy sight, said persuasively: "Iter is a fine ltt of pottery which vour lordsliln really ought to have. u ml you shall have it very cheaponly 2 guineas." So Lord Spencer bought it nnd took it home nnd sot it iu a high place, One day a connoisseur of china paid lit in a visit, and Lord Spencer showed Ills bargain. "What did you give for it?-' asked the connoisseur. "Two guineas," answered Speneel rather proudly. "H'm!" said the connoisseur. "At that price the marmalade should have been iucluded." "What do you mean?" "Why. that precious piece of yours is nothing more or less than a shil ling marmalade pot with a green this tle painted on it" Silencing the Questioners. A French gentleman who had been vith M. de Talleyrand for twenty years accompanied him to the congress at Vienna after Napoleon's exile to Elba. Teople naturally concluded that this long intimacy had made him fa miliar with a number of particulars of the minister's life and bearing also upon the events with which he had lieen mixed up. Worried with Ques tions, the friend invariably replied that lie knew nothing, but the questioners would not be satisfied and returned to the charge. "Very well." finally said Talleyrand's confidant; "I'll tell you a peculiar and altogether unknown fact In connection, "with M. de Talleyrand. Since Louis XV. he's the only man who can open a coft boiied egg with oue backward stroke of his knife without spilling a drop of the contents of the shell. That is the only peculiarity 1 know in con nection with him." Discretion had scored a decisive vic tory. From that moment the ques tions ceased. An Ey. to Business. One day a umu with n case full of handbills entered a restaurant In Cin cinnati run by an astute old German. "Vot haf you dere?" the latter asked as he observed the man about to dis play several of the bills on his walls. "Kail way circulars excursion."' "Oil, ho," exclaimed the proprietor, "one of dose cheap ten day excur sions! Go avay cheaper vot you stay at home, eh?" "Exactly." said the bill man. "Und you vant to hang dem up here?" "Certainly. You've no objection?" "I haf most clear obgectious." saiu the German decidedly. "Dake dem avay! Do you dake me for a fool, man. dot I vould vant my customers to read dose bills und den go avay utid eat at some cheap place for ten days?" Detroit Free Press. Pleased Hie Majesty. The dark monarch from sunny Af rica was being shown over an engi neering establishment in an English city by the niauiiger. who In explain ing the working of certain machinery unfortunately, got his coattails caught In it and ; in a moment was being whirled round at so many revolutions per minute. Luckily for the manager, his garments were unequal to the strain of more than a few revolutions. and he was hurled, disheveled and dazed, at the feet of the visitor. That exalted personage roared with laughter and said something to his interpreter. ' Sah." said that functionary to the manager, "his majesty say ne am Der rf pleased with de trick an' will you please do it again?" Sketchy Bits. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.

Phelps The Sting of Ingratitude. 'A young physician in the east side, New York city, spends much time In charitable practice, says the Newark Star. In fact, he sometimes gives to a poor patient enough money to par for prescriptions. "I'm 'not getting rich," he explains, "but I simply can't see them suffer for medicines that may put them on their feet again." ' Not many days ago the doctor had occasion to visit a woman who occu pied one small tenement room with Sier three children. After making out a prescription he gave her ?2, telling her to buy the medicine and to use the change for needed food. On the following day as he was about to en ter the tenement for a second call he met the ten-year-old daughter of the patient "How Is your mother?" he Inquired of the child. "Oh, she's all well! was the an swer. "She took the $2 and got a real doctor." Camera! for Platei, Roll Film or Pack.. Write for catalog. Film Photo Supplies riates. Roll Film, Film- Pads.
