Anything For a Change,
"I am tlrea of seeing that cyerlast
Ins mackerel brought in for break
fast," grumbled a boarder, "and I In
tend to speak to the landlady about
It" Some of his fellow victims ap
plauded, but most of them doubted his
courage. The matter was under dis
cussion when tho landlady appeared.
"Miss Prunella," began the bold
boarder, "I was about to say In regard
to the Mackerel that wo desire a
change," ,
"IfB good mackerel," responded tho
landlady grimly, "and there will be no
change."
"Then, for heaven's sake," resumed
the bold boarder, "order the girl to
bring it In tall first for awhile."
NEXT DOOR.
We saw the tapers burn
In the home bo close to oun;
But. however our hearts might yearn.
We dared not send our flowers
He will not understand," wo said,
"Our loving thought of his loved dead."
O city, thus you hide
Tho pity In every heart!
Those who are at our side
Tou sundor a world apart.
A little barrier built of stone,
And my neighbor grieves alone, alone.
, Smart Set.
Got It Cheap.
"A corruptlonlst," said a senator,
"noo entered a voter's house. In the
voter's absence ho pleaded his cause
to the man's wlfo. Finally, spying a
(wretched kitten on the floor, he said:
"lli give you $25 for that animal,
DM'tm.'
,' "Sho accepted those terms.
' "Tho corruptlonlst, thrusting tho kit
Am in hts pocket; rose to go. At the
oor ho said:
1 "1 do hopo you can persuade your
trasband to vote fon me, ma'am.'
; " Til try to,' said tho woman, though
'im8 a hard one to move when his
Blind's made up; bat, anyhow, you've
got a real cheap kitten there. Your
opponent was in yesterday and gave
eqo $00 for its brother.' "
Orders Must Bo Obeyed,
"A martinet," said a military officer,
ia generally a fool.
"They tell a story of a martinet of tho
oivil war, a captain. He got orders
from headquarters one day that his
tnea wore to change their undershirts.
M Tint, captain,' said a sergeant, to
whom this order was communicated,
'tho men only have one undershirt
each.'
"- "Tho captain frowned. Then ho said:
"No matter. Military commands
moat bo obeyed. Lot the men change
bndershixts with each other.' "
4'Dlditt Buy.
Among the older rank of San Fran-
tscans, says the Argonaut; there is n
ttlzcn eminent in the world of flnanco
ind liberal enough in all large ways
o nevertheless Is a llttlo "near"
rhea. it comes to trifles. He is ready
mough to accept those courtesies
vhlch still mark the meetings and
roottngs of the old style San Francis-
an, but he has rarely been known
ilmself to stand treat Recently he
ramo upon a crony loitering, as if
jjraltmg for somebody, near the en-
-rance to a well known bar. "Hello,
lobf he mild. "What arc you doing
erer" It was an opportunity long de-
lred, and tho gentleman addressed
inaae- tho, most of it "Well, John," he
replied, "I'm Just waiting round for
somebody to come along and buy mo a
drink." "All right" was tho reply,
I'll I'll Join youl"
A Porecaet
An Irish fireman applied for a place
ma engineer. He answered the officials'
eevre question during the examina
tion In a satisfactory manner until one
asked, ' Suppose you were running
your engine sixty miles an hour on a
Ingle track and, running around a
euro, saw another engine come to
ward you at the same speed and only
a short distance away, what would
yoa doT"
"I'd Mesa myself." Llpplncottte.
Burr's Fierce Retort.
Aaron Burr at ono time attended a
church in Albany where all tho aris
tocracy of the town was to be found on
each Sunday. Soon he fell Into tho
practleo of being late, and finally tho
wardens of tho church naked the min
ister to reprimand him openly. On the
next Sunday when Burr entered late
as usual tbe minister stopped In the
middle of his sonnon and said. "Sir, I
hall appear at the Judgment seat
fcgtlnst youf
Dnrr gaeed at him placidly and an
swered, "Sir, In all my practice I
have found that claw of criminals that
turns stnto's evidence tho most to bo
despised." Thoro were no moro public
wprlmands in that church.
A Qiim of Chanoe.
Tho belated husband carefully In
serted his koy In the lock, slowly
oponed'tha door and entered the dark
hallway on tiptoe. Shutting the door
noiselessly behind him, he turned to
ascend the stairs, whon the form of
his wlfo loomed up before him and he
started back.
"Oh, It's you, dear?" ho blurted, smil
ing guiltily. "And you haven't retired,
.worrying about mo I Really, dear, I
had no Idea It was so late. Tva very
sorry, but you sec." he went on to ex
plain, gaining confldenco through his
vlfa's silence "you see, dear, I be
ame so Interested in a little gamo of
whist that I didn't hear the hour
trifca on the clock at tho cl"
-Ootobodr
Without another word he obeyed
M
stood below and watched him0811?"
8 ho
(sheepishly ascend the stairs to bis
room. As his door closed after him
the hall clock chimed tho hour, and,
smiling grimly, she emitted a deep sigh
and murmured:
"Three! It's a lucky thing I got in
firstl"
Particular on That Head.
An American, while visiting Kings
ton, Canada, saw flames issuing from
a houso he chanced to be passing at
noontime. Rushing nround tho corner,
he burst into a fire engine station,
shouting "Fire!"
At his entrance and cry an old man,
the only occupant of the station, who
sat reading a newspaper, slowly arose,
carefully deposited his paper on tho
chair and hobbled over to a desk, on
which was a largo book. "Now," said
fie, taking up a pencil and opening this
volume, while the American stared lti
amazement "wot's the street and
number?"
"I don't know, but it's Just around
the corner!"
"Well, you'd better go back and find
out the number," advised tho old man,
shutting the book. "When the boys
git back from dinner and bear there's
a fire, they'll bo pretty anxious to know
Just where it is!"
Embraced Them All,
"Nowhere, not even in Russia, are
the girls so pretty as in America," said
a visiting Russian. "It seems wrong
and stingy that a man can only marry
ono of them. Every American, sur
rounded by all this beauty, must envy
tho snap that a friend of mine In Rus
sia had. 'So you are engaged,' a man
said to my friend, 'to one of tho beau
tiful Vromsky triplets, eh? 'Yes,' my
friend replied. 'But how can you tell
them apart?' the man asked. 'I don't
try,' said my friend."
Hit tho Wrong Target.
A Richmond man bought a turkey
from old Uncle Ephralm and asked
him In making the purchase if it was
a tamo turkey.
"Oh, yals, sir; it's a tamo tu'key ol
right"
"Now, Ephralm, aro you sure It's a
tame turkey V
"Oh, yais, sir; deres no so't o' doubt
'bout dat Ifs a tame tu'key ol right"
He consequently bought the turkey,
and n day or two later when eating It
ho camo across several shot Later on,
when he mot old Ephralm on the
street he said:
"Well, Ephralm, you told mo that
was a tamo turkey, but I found somo
shot in it when I was eating It."
"Oh, dat war a tame tu'key ol right,"
was Uncle Ephralm's reiterated rejoin
der, "but de fac' Is, boss, I's gwlne to
tell yer In confidence dat dein dcre shot
was intended for me."
Quito Qood Enough.
She had Just lecelved a messago
through the telephone and, still hold
ing the receiver to her ear, said to her
husband:
"The Thompsons want us to dlno
with them tonight Is It good
enough?"
Before ho could speuk over the wire
tho answer came:
"Yes; qulto good enough. Come
along."
An Ideal of Patriotism.
Let our object be our country, our
whole country, and nothing but our
country. And, by the blessing of God,
may that country Itself become a vast
and splendid monument not of op
pression nnd terror, but of wisdom, of
peace and of liberty, upon which the
world may gaze with admiration for
ever. Daniel Webster.
Eiity Bookkeeping.
A young husband, finding that hla
pretty but rather extravagant wife
was considerably exceeding their in
come, brought hor home one day a
neat little account book. This he pre
sented to her, together with $50.
"Now, my dear," he said, "I want
you to put down what I glvo you on
this side, and on tho other write down
the way It goes, and In n fortnight I
will give you another supply."
A couple of weeks later ho asked for
the book.
"Oh, I have kept tho account all
right!" said his wlfo. "See hero It
la."
On ono page was Inscribed, "Re
ceived from WIlllo ?50," nnd on the
opposite page was tho comprehensive
llttlo summary, "Spent It all."
Calming Him Down.
"If women Just had a little tact and
didn't fly to pieces their own selves
when their husbands git to Jnwin' and
tenrin' around, thcie'd be less trouble
in fam'llos," said Sirs. Grim to a neigh
bor. "I supposo that's so," replied the
neighbor.
"I know 'tis," replied Mrs. Grim.
"Do you suppose I lose my head nnd
my tongue and go all to pieces and suy
things I'm sorry for afterward when
Grim gets into ono of his tantrums?
Well, I don't. I Just keep cool and
calm him down."
"How do you calm him down?"
"Well, sometimes with u stick and
Ig'ln with a broom handle, or mebbe
I'll grab up n pall o' water nnd douso
It all over him. There's plenty o' ways
to calm a man down If a woman will
only keep cool herself nnd try 'em."
A Real 8urprlae,
"Whero are you goln', nm?" asked
the youngest of tho fie children.
Tin going to a smprlso party, Jny
dear," answered the mother,
"Are we all goln' too?"
Wo, dear. You wereu't Invited.
After a few moments' deep thought:
"Bay, ma, then don't jou think they'd

THE FAMOUS PANTHEON.
Magnificent Tomb of Many of the
Great Men of France.
The Pantheon in which the attempt
was made to assassinate Major Drey
fus has been called tbe Westminster
abbey of France. Famous men of
Franco are entombed there On its
site Clovls built a church to the apos
tles. It has been sacred ground slnco
BOO years after tho birth of Christ
The church built by Clovls was de
stroyed by Norman pirates about the
year 1000. It was replaced by the ab
bey of St Genevieve, of which now
only tho bell tower remains. Louis
XV. built tho Pantheon. It was a
splendid pile, tho combined work of
two famous French architects, Souf
Hot and Rondelet It Is in the form of
a Greek cross. In front it has a su
perb portico of twenty-two Corinthian
columns slxty-flvo feet high, reposing
on a magnificent perron of twelvo
mighty steps. In tho Interior are six
teen windows, with thirty-two Corin
thian columns, and high 'above all,
moro than 300 feet In the air, stretches
Us vast dome.
Here lie Mirabeau, Voltaire, Jean
Jacques Rousseau, Marshal Lannes
and many other famous Frenchmen.
Tho building is filled with superb fres
coes, and it is the goal of every ambi
tious Frenchman to find a resting place
here among tho honored dead of his
race.
Napoleon tho Great took the Pan
theon and turned It over to the eccle
siastical authorities, who once more
called the structure the Church of St.
Genevieve, but It still remulned In tho
eyes of all Frenchmen the resting
place of the hero dead of their race.
Lanncs was .burled in Its crypt. Then
came Portalls, Cnbanls. Vlun. La
grange, Bougainville. In nil, thirty
nine Napoleonic heroes, statesmen nud
great citizens were put there, with
grandiose processions, cannons boom
ing, solemn music, solemn discourse,
flngs and flowers, with vast multitudes
surrounding.
With the restoration Louis XVIII.,
liking tho Pantheon Idea without the
Pantheon name, hnd Gros begin tho
great work of interior decoration. In
tho high part of the dome he painted
tho apotheosis of St Genevieve. Dur
ing this period a few statesmen and
soldiers had tho honor of being buried
in tho crypt. Soufflot was the last. In
1820; then came the popular revolution
of 1830.
During the siege of Paris the crypt
was used as a powder magazine. When
the leaders of the commune were
pressed down that way they took It for
headquarters.
The ecclesiastical authorities remain
ed in charge from tho second empire
until 1885. Tho death of Victor Hugo
put thorn to embarrassment. The
French government decreed that tho
great poet be put In the Pantheon
crypt, and as ho went In the eccle
siastical authorities went out. It has
been said that Voltaire and Rousseau
had been taken out years previously.
Then years ago, therefore, the republic
wished to know the truth. Reverently,
scientifically and historically tho two
sepulchers were opened. They were
found Intact
In 1880 parliament decreed that the
remains of four more Napoleonic he
roes be transported to the Pantheon.
They were Lazaro Carnot grandfather
of tho martyred president; Mnrceau,
"colonel at sixteen and general at
twenty-one;" Bnudln, the Republican
revolutionary representative of 1848,
and De la Tour d'Auvergne, "the pre
mier grenadier of France." Baltlmoro

Trying to Age Violins.
While a man In Philadelphia has
been trying to invent a varnish that
will make n new, cheap violin sound
like a Strndlvnrlus, a well known vio
linist and maker of the Instruments
has been working along a different
Hue to secure tho same effect. He says
that age has nothing to do directly
with the tone of a violin; that tho
amount of "bowing" it receives is
what makes tho tone superior. Ho
makes use of nn electrical machine
which sends vibrations through the in
strument and he claims that In thirty
days as much bowing can bo given
tho violin by this means ns it would
get In fifty years In tho ordinary way.

A Lake of Oil.
Five miles south and west of Glenn
pool, Tulsn, on the Korndorfor lease,
the Prairie Oil and Gas company has
drilled in, at a depth of 2,340 feet, a
well of high grade oil, offsetting an
other big well at tho same depth pro
ducing tho same grade of oil. This
strike is remarkable In that both these
wells are at least 000 feet deeper than
wells in tbe Glenn pool and reveal en
tirely new sand, with eery Indication
that the entire country thereabout is
underlaid with a lake of high grade oil
at a depth until now never discovered.
It is possible that many If not all wells
In tho Creek oil fields will in time be
drilled to the new sand. Kansas City

The Blows of Chanoe.
Chancellor Klrkland of Vanderbllt
unlvcrslty-is known to his students by
tho briefer namo of 'Chance."
Besides beiug chief executive, he Is
nlso head professor of Lathi and, the
boys say, prize long talker at chapel
exercises.
Ono day while conducting a class In
Horace, ho called on n certain student
to read, ubo did so In utter innoceuco
nnd absolute accuracy as follows:
"It Is hard for us to endure tbe blows
of chance."
The class burst out In a roar of
laughter, nnd n the "Chance" Joined
in the dumfounded student perceived
tho lutdern algnlilcanco of ancient
words.
