A well kuown churchmnu was visit
ing Now York, accompanied by his
wife, who Is as beautiful as her life
nmto Is homely. Thoy wero walking
down Itroadway ono ufternoou, and
the pair attracted much attention.
Ono of two young "sports," evidently
thinking to attract tho favorable at
tention of the churchman's wife, In an
nudlblo aside remarked that it was
another case of "the beauty and tho
boast." Quick ns a wink tho husband
turned mid, as ho swung his right to
the sinker's Jaw, scoring a knockout,
said, "I am u man of peace, but I nev

Musicians and Sneezing.
Nobody can dlsputo tho sincerity of
tho players In n big orchestra like tho
Philharmonic or tho Now York Sym
phony. Most of the time thoy take
thulr work seriously, but sometimes
tho men break loose and play tricks on
ono another ns though they were
youngsters In school. Of courso the
audience knows nothing of these
things; they're usually perpetrated In
rehearsals.
Tho red pepper trick Is the common
est. The Jokors scatter it where the
bassoon and trombone players nro like
ly to suck It up. Tho result Is chokes
nnd hiioczcs. Sometimes the epidemic
reaches oven into tho strings, but of
course tho players on the wind Instru
ments get It worst.
As a matter of fact, tho Jokers nre
playing with fire. "A confirmed
sneezer ci'.i't get n Job In n good or
chestra, no matter how good a per
former ho may he," said a consistent
concert goer. "Think of the effect of
a rousing .sneeze on a pianissimo!
Why, It would spoil u whole concert,
one sneeze would. A conductor has to
guard against n sneeze us be does
against Inebriety." Now York Sun.
A Luekv Qams of Chen.
A story Is told of tho Moorish prlnco
A lul Hejex. who was thrown luto
prison for sedition by his brother Mo
hammed, king of Grnniidii. There ho
remained for several years until the
king, fearing he might escape, placed
himself at the bend of a fresh revolt
and seized tho crown, ordering ono of
his p.iHlms to hco to his Immediate ex
ecution. Abul Hejex was playing nt
chess when tho pasha came and hade
him prepare for death. The prlnco
asked for two hours' replte, whhh
wns lefused. After earnest entreaty
he obtained permission to fluUh his
gnme. Ho was In no hurry nbout tho
moves, wo nre told, nnd well for him
in was not. for beforo mi hour Imd
elapsed u messenger brought tho news
that Mohammed luul noun strucu ueuu
by apoplexy, nnd Abul was forthwith
proclaimed king of Granada. It wns
Indeed n smnll fnvor for the pasha to
grant, but It altered tho whole current
of tho king's enreer.
Eleohant Humor.
The courage of n Hon -nt bay, great
oh It Is, Is no greater thnii that of tho
buffalo, nnd ho must yield his scepter
to tho elephant, declnres II. L. Tangyo
In his book, "In tho Torrid Sudan," ns
to courage, size, strength nnd intelli
gence. It h n temptation to declnre
that the elephant possesses n senso of
humor. A herd of elephants onco fell
in with a train of donkeys. Their
attention concentrated on tho load the
donkeys cnrrled. With nil tho mischief
of monkeys, the loads wero torn
nsunder and their contents distributed
over half tho province. At Ror, on
tho Mountain Nile, the elephants wero
at ono time full of practical Jokes.
Passing nt night time through the vil
logo, they would knock the sleepers
up by demolishing their huts above
their heads, then contentedly march
away.

Btoro was a paying business nnd wo
put In a big stock and arranged to

of this size. This entailed n largo
llxod expenso that present business
conditions do not warrant. How
