A certain Misc. Cresswell died In

follows:
"All I shall say of her is this: She
was born v ell. married well, lived well
and died weM, for she was born nt

Caught the Czar.
Peter the Great was once very neat
ly caught In a trap by a jester attach
ed to the court. The Jester was noted
for bis cleverness In getting himself
nnd his friends out of dlflleultles. It
happened one day that a cousin of his
iind Incurred the czar's displeasure nnd
was about to be executed. The latter
therefore piesented himself before his
imperial majesty to beg for a reprieve.
On seeing him approach, the czar, di
vining Ids errand, cried: "It is no good
to come here. I swear I will not grant
what you are going to ask."
Immediately the Jester went down
on his knees, saying, "I beseech your
imperial highness to put that scamp
cousin of mine to denth."
The czar, thus caught In his own
trap, could only laugh and pardon the
condemned man.

OP IN SMOKE
DELIGHTED WIFE FLOURISHING
GIFT BEFORE A MIRROR AVHEN '
IT SLIPS FROM HER HAND.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 30. Visiting
friends at the Kenosha apartment
house Is Mrs. Nellie Nash MacVay,
wife of J. E. MacVay, of San Francis
co, whoso birthday, instead of being
a time of rejoicing, was turned Into
woe.
Mrs. MacVay was dressing for the
theater. It wa3 the anniversary of
her birthday. Before leaving San
Francisco her husband gave his wifo
a sealed envelope with strict; instruc
tions to guard it religiously and open
it at tho proper time, accepting it
from him in honor of her anniver
sary. She obeyed instructions and
guarded the letter as closoly as she
did her Jewels. Opening the en
velope as soon as she arose on tho
eventful ,day, she was delighted to
find in it a $1,000 bill. Her hus
band had told her that unless he
made some collections her trip must
not extend further than Chicago, al
though she had expressed a desire
to go South. She therefore was de
lighted to find pluned to the bill a
slip bearing the words, "Go South."
At the time of the accident she was
alone and could not resist tho tempta
tion to toy with the bill. She flour
ished It before her in the mirror,
with tho gas Jet swung over bo that
she lmght get the better view. Sud
denly tho birthday present fluttered
from her hands. Unfortunatoly it
alighted on tho gas burner. She
grabbed for It, but it was already
blazing up.
She mado the second attempt and
drew it away from the fire. She then
smothered It in her hands,' but at
least half of tho bill had been buhned.
She hopes that there is enough of it
left to bo redeemed by the govern-'
ment.

UNIQUE WEDDING GIFT.
A Pretty Custom That Is Peculiar U
Brazil.
Coffee as a wedding gift is peculiar
to Brazil. The custom In coffee raising
countries is unknown in other parts of
the world. When a child Is born In
the coffee country a suck of the best
grain is set aside as part of the inher
itance, to bo received on attaining its
majority. Usually the sack is the gift'
from some close friend or relative, and
it is guarded as sacredly as if it wero'
a gift of gold or bonds. No stress'!
would Induce a Brazilian parent toune,.,,v
coffee which was mado the birth gift
of a child. As n rule, It is sealed .with
the private seal of the owner and bears
a card giving all particulars about the
variety of grain, its age on being
sacked, the birth of the child to whom
it is given and other details which
are very interesting when the gift
is due. Generally tho coffee is
opened for the first time when the
child marries. Tho coffee for the re
ception or marriage feast Is made from
the legacy, nnd according to precedent JT
this must be the first time the Back is '
opened. After the coffee Is made for
the wedding feast the sack Is carefully '
closed and sent to the new home of the
young couple and should keep them In
this stnplo for a year at least When
both bride and bridegroom have the
birth gift of coffee they hay,e started
life under very hopeful conditions, so
far as one necessary Is concerned. Few
people know that the older the un
parched grain of coffee is' the better
the flavor. Like wine. It grows with age,
and that which is over twenty years
mellowing under proper conditions will
bring from $1.50 to $3 a pound from
connoisseurs. The giving of pounds
of green coffee Is a common practice
In the coffee belt Friends exchange
these gifts nnd compare results. When
one cannot nfford to give a sack of
coffee It frequently Is tho case that ten
pounds of the best, grain are packed In
a fancy ease and bestowed on a newly
bora child, with directions that It must
not bo opened until the wedding day.
