TWO GIFTS FROM A KING.
A Story of Frederick William !. and
Locatelli, the Violinist.
The severity of the Prussian king,
Frederick William 1., especially to
ward the son who became1 Frederick
the Great, has given him a perhaps
undeserved reputation for stern
ness. Anecdotes that reveal gen
tler qualities are related in "The
House of Ilohenzollern." One an
ecdote in particular shows that
Frederick William could even take
a rebuke pood humorcdly.
In Berlin assemblies and dinner
parties were often given, and the
king was a frequent guest at the
houses of the foreign envoys and at
the houses of his own subjects. lie
was always most amiable on these
occasions and, with his jokes and
gaiety, quite the life of the evening.
When the king of Poland, Augus
tus the Strong; visited. Berlin' he
was accompanied by the famous vio
linist, Loeatelli. Although Freder
ick William hated virtuosi, he was
obliged to listen to thin artist, who
appeared in a' coat of blue velvet
embroidered with silver.
"The fellow looks like a minister
of war at least!" the king ejaculat
ed. But, wishing to be civil, he sent
him 2ft tlmlers by a servant.
The artist sent the king his j
homage and thanks, but handed the
money as a gratuity to the servant
who had brought it.
On hearing of this Frederick Wil-1
liam was indignant and complained ;
to Augustus of the impudence of j
his fiddler. Augustus, however,
pointed out that an artist of the 1
eminence of Locatelli was accus
tomed to receiving presents pf gold
watches, snuff boxes and diamond
rings. ( 1
Frederick William therefore de-;
cided to have a laugh nt him. A j
second concert was arranged, after I
which the Prussian king himself
gave the artist a snuff box lilled
with ducats and added, "You are so
magnificently lavish that I should
prefer on this occasion. t earn the
gratuity myself."
But the resourceful artist was not
to be overmatched, lie replied that
such a present from such a king
was too weighty for him to part
with.
"Boots and Saddles."
The well known call of "boots
and saddles" is really a corruption
of the old French st.Tnl boiite-selle
"put on your saddles" from bou
ter, to put or place, and selle. sad
dle. The medieval saddles were of
such cumbrous and heavy make that
they were taken off the horses when
ever possible. In Ma thews' "Pow
erful Favorite" of 1 i?f occurs the
phrase "the trumpets sounded
boute-selle."
In 1700 Steele wrote in the Tat
ler, "The sound was changed to
'boots and saddle,"' hut it seems
probable that the phrase ran in its
present form before that date, pos
sibly coming into use during the
civil war among the Roundh(ds, to
whom the old French boute-selle
would seem pandering to the Cava
lier and French tendencies of the
court. London Times.

Ancient Drinking Guilds.
It is gravely said uv au authority
that the hutch guilds, the most an
cient of workingmen's organiza
tions, had their origin in the drink
ing guilds, which, although they
did not. as in the case of the Greek
and Komans, exalt drink to the
rank of a deity, made it a kind of
civic dignitary. These drink guilds
and drink brethren existed from the
earliest times until the latter part
of the, sixteenth century, when
their excesses led to their suppres
sion.' It is held that men who
worked together drank together
and thus formed the primitive club
which developed into the guild. '

one of the clergymen drops twenty
one sixpences on a tombstone to be

the distribution is now made out of
the parish funds. The bequest
dates back several hundreds of
years.
