Lights Upon Ufa and Morale. For a few daxzllng side lights upon life and morals apply to the storage warehouse. You can find almost any thing there from baby alligators to blocks of ice cream and from Teddy bears to sauerkraut So yon won't be amased at what the Institution has most recently divulged. Here yon bare the story: Mrs. Q. repaired to the storage ware house to extract her soup spoons, though It may have been aunta or un cles or popcorn or guinea pigs. At any rate, her property declined to come out It had been tucked ia by Mr. Q. Only Mr. Q. might tempt it forth. Mrs. Q. protested. She wanted her catnip or theology or safety rasor, or whatever It was, and made representations with great emphasis. She moved upon the management. She stormed and wept After long wrangling the warehouse decided It would yield up the college Ice or was It the piano V-lf Mrs. Q. would swear she waa still married to Mr. Q. and would send him a written statement (he was. In Quebec, and I lost track of him owing to bewilder ment produced by merely thinking of a storage warehouse) and make him re turn the statement, countersigned,, to the management This, then, Is how Mrs. Q. regained possession of her golf links or prayer book or sugar tongs. Well, my It was sugar tongs, though golf links would be likelier. Pressed for an explanation, the ware house remarked: "Have to be careful, you know divorces, separations, af finities, you know.

Carrington In Eainourgn eignt sanawica men were sent out, each of whom bore in front ' and behind him one letter of the great musician's name. They started all right, but after a time removed the boards from tbelr shoulders to have a rest On resuming their labors each man shouldered the board nearest him and fell in behind the man who had for merly marched before him. " When the leader, who bore the Initial "S," turned around to see If his men were ready, what he saw was "Sata resa." He knew enough to realize that something was wrong, but how to right it was more than he could tell. After changing a man here and there he got It "Starasea." But still it didn't seem correct By this time the poor fellow was in a terrible state. If any of " their em ployers" people were on the outlook and could see them, their day's wage would be stopped! He tried again and yet again, but It was no use. And a moment later a man bearing the letter "S" before and behind was seen running toward the music ball to copy down the name from one of the posters there. And along the right side of Princeton street there walked toward -the appointed rendezvous at the Mound three men who bore the strange device "A A K," while opposite them there paced along the left side gutter four others, who, if to advertise means to attract attention, succeeded well, for.every one who passed looked around in wonderjng amazement as to what "Rats', meant Edinburgh Dis patch. Toe Muoh For the Ferret An old buck rabbit Is not to be light ly tackled by weasel, stoat or even ferret On the sanded floor of a small public house a ferret of long experi ence was matched with an old lop eared buck, the property of the land lord. The ferret made straight for the rabbit's throat, but the latter was in the . air before master ferret eonld reach him and, leaping clean over the ferret's head, let out with those power ful hind legs of his a kick which hurled the ferret bodily against the wainscot Twice the ferret returned to the attack, and twice he inissed his grip and went hurtling through the air.

Stormy Relations of th Miserly King and the Lavish Author. The world knows .plenty about the ; elements of streugth In the characters of great men, but less about tbelr ' weaknesses. Here Is a story that shows the other side of the natures of Frederick the Great and Voltaire: ' Frederick the Great had a leaning toward literature. He wrote poems. plays and booklets that In bis opin ion, possessed rare merit So it seemed fitting to him thai great liter ary men should fraternize, and he sent an invitation to Voltaire to be his guest Accompanying the invitation jwas a sum of money to defray the great Frenchman's traveling expenses to the Prussian capital. ; Let it be explained at this point that Frederick waS extremely penurious 'and that Voltaire was not only ex I travagant but had many of the char acteristlcs of what we would now coll a grafter. It should also be under stood that Frederick despised graft I ing, and Voltaire . abhorred miserli ness. V Voltaire accepted the Invitation and then had an afterthought Why not take a favorite niece with hlmj So he wrote to the king that if he would send an extra thousand louls he would bring the girl, 'J "Sir." replied the king. ."1 did not ask the young lady to do me the honor of visiting me. and I shall send noth ing to pay ner expenseB." "The old miser!" said Voltaire to a friend. "He has tubs of money In his treasury, yet will not grant ma this wish." However, Voltaire went to Berlin, but . each found that be hated the other too much to make their friendship perma nent The king once gave Voltaire ft pack' age of poems to revise. "See," said Voltajre to a German no bleman, "what a quantity of dirty linen Frederick has sent me to washl" The king thought his guest was too free with the chocolate and sugar and gave orders that be be put on a re stricted dally allowance. , Voltaire retaliated by gathering all the wax candles he could find In the halls and storing them in tds.trunk.

J A ' ' A 1 noon cne royal palace became 'too hot for him, and he began to pack up. Then Frederick missed his package of poems. At once he scented ft plot Vol taire Intended to take the verses back home with him and palm them off as his own. Lord Macaulay has said that the poems were so bad that he was convinced Voltaire would not for half of Frederick's kingdom have consent ed to father them. But the king thought differently, being the author of the poems. So the Prussian monarch had Vol taire thrown Into Jail at Frankfort and kept him locked up for twelve days. Sixteen hundred- dollars that was found In his pocket was taken away from him. The king In the days of their friendship had given Voltaire a life pension of $3,200 a year, and the money that was confiscated was . a semiannual installment - Thus ended their friendship.
