experiences in several years are NatoV
humorous. He is a grave, solemn tast
ing man. thus bearing out the tra
ditions. but that does not prevent him
from enjoying the odd lnddenta that
bob up In bls line of duty. Speakto*
of them, he Bald:
"I bad an odd experience the attar
day. A young man from an otoea to
Wall street bad gone to Europe to be
married. In London be bought hto
wife a ring. He had put it in his dec
laration at a value of $1,000. Bo
brought his bride to me, and she held
out her pretty little pink band that I
might examine the ring. It flashed
and sparkled beautifully, but the flash
es and sparkles didn’t seem quite right,
so I asked to be allowed to examine it
more carefully. The bride blushlngly
pulled the ring off and banded it to me.
1 showed it to an expert appraiser,
who promptly declared that It was a
1: c piece of jewelry worth about $10.
"I sympathized with the young man,
atid when I got a chance I told him the
truth. ‘Oh, yes,’ he replied, ‘I know.
You see. I didn't have much money
with me. so I bought this for £1 6s.,
but I had to ring in a bluff on my
v.lfe. Don’t give me away.’ The poor
fellow was willing to pay several times
the value of the ring to make his bluff
good, but we fixed it up for him with
out bls bride knowing the truth.
“Another laughable experience, but
:■ e serious for the passenger, hap
pened not long ago. When I boarded
r. : :-j steamship from Europe I wasap-
¡>: . died by a man who Introduced
l:l~'.»elf as one who bad formerly been
c< '. tor of one of the most Important
tern ports. I knew him very well
by reputation. He was returning from
abroad with bls family. He explained
that be was very wealthy and did not
want to evade paying all the duty nec
essary. but be confided In me that he
had a sealskin coat, bought in Paris
for hfs wife, which he had not includ
ed In his declaration, knowing that
;o: lsklns could not be Imported. Nev-
e tbeless. Just because we were both
members of the same fraternity, he
wanted to know if there was not some
way in which he could get the coat
Into the country.
“I would have been glad to help him,
but didn’t see how it could be done.
However. I told him I would put the
question up to the appraiser at the
pier and if the matter could be ar
ranged I would fix it up. The ap
praiser looked the coat over and told
me to put it on the declaration as an
imitation sealskin valued at $75. The
w estern man was delighted.
“ ’That’s what I call clever,’ he said.
"A few days later I got a letter from
tlito man asking me to call upon him
st one of the moot fashionable uptown
hotels. I went to see him and had
luncheon with him and his family.
When luncheon was over he made a
11 e golden cone on the table. It cam-
si ed of a twenty dollar gold piece, a
teu. a five, a three, a two and a half
and a one. all in gold.' He shoved the
stack over to me.
'* ’Just a souvenir, a reminder tt
your cleverness In getting that seal
coat through for me.’ be said.
"1 refused to take It, but be tried to
press It on me and told me to give It
to the appraiser, but I refused. Later,
when bls family left os. I asked Mai
bow much he had paid for the coat to
Paris. He said he had paid $ljtoB.
He could hardly believe It when I taM

Ths Way s Writer Dodged Death In
the French Revolution.
I d the French revolution a feuille
tonist named Schlaberndorf. who pos
se ;sed considerable ability as a writer,
by heartily espousing tbe cause of tbe
Girondists In all that emanated from
his pen rendered himself obnoxious to
E< besplerre and at tbe dictation of
that fierce leader was Incarcerated.
When the death cart one morning
came to the prison for Ito load of
those that were that day to tie butch
ered Schlaberndorf s name was on tbe
list of tbe condemned. The Jailer in
formed him that such was the case.
acJ the writer dressed himself for bis
last ride very nonchalantly and—he
was extremely fastidious as to his
personal appearance—with great care.
II!» loots, however, be could not tlud.
Here, there, everywhere, assisted by
his Jailer, he looked for them to no
avail.
"I nm quite willing to be executed."
said be to the jailer after their fruit
less search, "but really I should bo
ashamed to go to the guillotine with
out my boots. Nor do I wish to de
tain this execution party." he added,
smiling grimly. "Will It make any
difference If my execution is deferred
until tomorrow? By that time 1 shall
probably succeed In finding my boots.’’
"1 don’t know that It will matter
particularly when you are guillotined."
responded the functionary, between
whom and Schlaberndorf there had
existed a sort of friendship. "Sup
pose we call it tomorrow, then?"
“All right." And the jailer allowed
Schlaberndorf to remain, not unwil
lingly. as. owing to his universal good
humor, he was especially liked by all
the jail attendants.
Tbe following morning when the
cart drew up before tbe prison door
for Its batch of victims Schlaberndorf,
dressed In his best. Including the
boots, that had been found, stood
waiting tbe summons of the jailer to
take hto place therein. Meantime,
however, a new jailer had taken the
place of the old one. the latter him
self having suddenly been displaced
by reason of suspected disloyalty to
the revolutionists, and Schlaberndorf s
name was not called that morning.
Nor was It called the next morning
nor the morning after that nor, In
deed. ever again. It was believed by
all outside of his friends In the jail
that he hud perished on the morning
originally set for him. He remained
In prison until the swav of Robes

prisoners whose heads had not fallen

INSULTED HIS COLONEL.
A b Offense For Which a French Sol
dier Had to Dio,
By deliberately Insulting a superior
officer at a court martial a French
oaldtor at Lille incurred the death pen
alty. The Incident is a deplorable one.
The fact that the officers had to con
demn the man to likewise painful, but
the military regulations were plain
a»d left no alternative.
A dragoon in one of the regiments
at Lille was being tried before a court
martial. Another dragoon of the same
regiment, who was undergoing arrest
for some other fault, was summoned
aa a witness. When this dragoon en
tered the room of the court martial he
was asked by the presiding colonel to
take off bls cap. The man took this in
bad part and flung bls cap at the colo
nel, following it up with a storm of
abusive language.
When be had finished, the colonel,
out of sheer good nature, asked him to
reflect and express regret for his ac
tion, which be was willing to look
upon as a momentary outburst of tem-
p>r. The dragoon merely repeated bls
insults. The court martial immediate
ly deliberated and at the end of a
quarter of an hour gave judgment
condemning the dragoon to death.—

Twelfth Century 8kating.
Skating must have been a difficult
art before the introduction of steel
blades, yet Ixmdoners used to go In for
it as early as tbe twelfth century.
Fltzstephen in his “Description of Lon
don,” published in 11S0, records that
"when the great feuue or moore (which
wateret'i tbe walls of the cltle on tbe
north side) is frozen many young men
play on tbe yce; • • • some striding
as wide as they may doe slide swiftlie;
some tye bones to their feete and un
der their heeles, and shoving them
selves with a little picked staffe do
slide as swiftlie as a bird flyeth In tbe
airs or an arrow out of a crossbow.”
Book Without Errata.
A London publisher once determined
to publish at least one book which
should be faultless in the matter of er
rata. He had the proofs corrected by
his own proofreaders with the greatest
care until they had exhausted their
skill and patience and assured him
that there were no longer any errors
to be eliminated. Taking duplicate
proofs of the last revise, he sent them
to the universities and other large pub
lishing houses, offering large money
prizes for each error discovered. A few
errors only were found, and after ev
ery one had a chance to detect any ad
ditional errors the plates were made,
the book printed, expensively bound
and sold as an absolutely perfect book
and unique in all literature. For a long
time this was conceded, but six or
eight months after its publication a
letter called the publisher’s attention
to an error In a certain line and page.
i,ater a second was announced, and
before the first year had elapsed some
four or five errors had been reported.—

Magazine.
