The Lady or the Tiger Riddle.
'Terhaps the most Interesting thing
about 'Tbe Lad.v or the Tiger?' " Frank
R. Stockton once suid. "Is Its great
popularity among the savage races. It
has been told again and again by the
story tellers of Burma. A missionary
once told the Btory to a tribe of Ka
rens In Burma. When she came back
a year later the tribe surrounded her
and wanted to know If she had found
out whether I eaunot answer tbe ques
tion, for I have no earthly Idea myself.
I have never been able to decide
whether the lady or the tiger came out
of that door. Yet I must defend my
self. Teople for years have upbraided
me for leaving It a mystery. Some
used to write me that I bad n right
io impose upon the good nature of the
public In that manner. However, when
I started In to write the story I In
tended to anlsh It, but It would never
let Itself be finished. I could not de
cide, and to this day, I assure you, I
know no better than any one else."

Drew Line at Indian!.
At a recent gathering of life Insur
ance men one of the old timers exhib
ited a copy of a permit which had
been attached to a policy Issued by tbe
Mutual Life in 1808. This permit read:
"Tbe within assured has permission
to reside in any settled part of tbe
states of California, . Nevada, Oregon
or Washington territory and while so
residing to make trips (as a passenger
only) on first class steamers plying be
tween the ports of Washington terri
tory, tbe states of California and Ore
gon and tbe Sandwich Islands and to
proceed to and return in like manner,
or by public conveyance overland.
"Provided that written notice be
given by the assured whenever any
trip to the Sandwich Islands or to the
Atlantic states is undertaken, to tbe
general agent of the company at San
Francisco. Cal., and provided ulso that
on the overland route the said assured
to take bis own risk by death from
bxistile Indians." Wall Street Journal.
Courage and Courtesy.
It Is recorded of General Sheridan
that he was oneu usked who, in his
opinion, was the most reliable of tbe
corps commanders, and he uuhesitat
Ingly answered. General Hancock. He
said, "If I wanted a man to stay
where I put him, if I located him at
night and 'wanted to Oud him right
there in the morning, I'd select Ilan
cock.'' And then further Sheridan
said: T . ; -!-'
"For genuine politeness and gentle
regard for women Hancock was In
comparable. If Mrs. Hancock came
Into bis room twenty times in half
on hour be would always stand Tip."
There is a compliment indeed. The
bravest commander Tas the most
courteous to women, and, what was
best of all. he included bis own wife
among the objects of his courtesy.
That is something many men forget
they ore courteous to all women ex
cept to their own wives. Ohio State

Original of Falstaff. -
Sir John Fastolf was the original of
Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day
was a contlnunl butt for tbe jests of
the town and borough of Southwurk.
Though he had fought at Agincourt.
when Jack Cai'le invaded the borough
be showed great cowardice. When
Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had
armed and fortified his house and gar
risoned it with veterans of the French
wars. On the arrival of Cade, how
ever, he withdrew his garrison and fled
to the Tower, leaving his neighbors to
the mercy of the rebels. Fastolfs mat
rimonial adventures seem also to have
been another source of unpopularity,
for. having married a widow named
Scrope, he seized her property and kept
his stepson out of his inheritance dur
ing his own lifetime. London News.
Boiled Rosebuds.
. Although it is little known In this
country, Turkish women consider rose
buds boiled in sugnr a luxury not to
be missed. They claim that these
make an excellent preserve.
In China a species of lily is dried
and used for seasoning ragouts and
other dishes. This is looked upon as
one of tho choicest of native dishes.
Many provinces of this same land
grow lilies expressly for the purpose
of marketing them In this connection.
They are usually picked just previous
to their opening and thou cooked as
ordinary vegetables.
