The Wise King NomOlos.?King1 Nomolos was the wisest of kings who have ever reigned and every Tuesday from 7 to 9.30 of the evening he would distribute wisdom to the most foolish of his subjects. One day there came to his court a very foolish man. He had ten women running after him, all demanding, that he should marry them, and it* was not law in the country that he should take unto hiinsclf more than one wife and the foolish fellow dare not face the il. M frnlrt ? thft f ft VAT wi tiui \jl muc; v?vii w bi^. of one. He was not dreadfully keen on marrying even one. And he appealed to his k'ing for wisdom, and the women stood by glowering. "Let me think," said the. king, removing his crown, and calling upon his two scratchers in chief to scratch his head for him. And having thought for the space of three asterisks . the great monarch commanded. "Let the ten women step forward and give their ages." Silently, .one by one, the ten women disappeared. There has been none so wise as Nomoloa since his day. Safety First.?Tom had Just loaded j some dynamite for blasting ifito the front of the buggy and was ready to drive home from town. His aunt, who was with him, took exception to the nature of the load. , /"Well, what if it is?" said Tom em phaticauy. "It won't do*any damage anlcsa' It explodes.'" "Tom Mooney," continued the woman in a shrill tone, "it you think I'm going to ride six miles in a buggy with fifty pounds of dynamite at my feet you're very much mistaken! You have that man take that stuff right out and put it in the back part of the buggy, under the scat!" His Explanation. ? Employer (to youth applying for situation)?'"And have you a knowledge of any foreign Innenia fro ?,f " "O ""O' Applicant?"Yes, sir a little." "Do you know J^atin?" "Well, sir, I began to learn it and got on fairly well, but I had to throw it up in favor of shorthand because I couldn't pronounce some of the words." . . ' "What were the words you couldn't pronounce?" "Words like 'MDCCCXIV,' sir." Reason for Tears.?A little fellow sat on a .doorstep crying bitterly. Presently a sympathetic old lady'came along. "What's the matter, littlb boy?" she asked. .. 'Got my new pants covered with dust," sobbed the boy. "Gut they're clean now, dear," contined the woman. "I know they are," wailed the-lad. "Then why do you still cry, child?" "Cos mother wouldn't let me take 'em off while she beat the dust out." ? ? How It Came About.?A Virginia lad unexpectedly distinguished himself in a recent history examination. "How and when," was the question put to him, "was slavery introduced jnto America?" His reply was: "To the early Virginia colony no woman had come oVer; but the planters wanted wives io help with the work. In the year 1619 the London Company sent over a shipload of girls. The planters gladly married thfcm, and slavery was Introduced into America." The Cross Boss.?Things had gone wrong at the office all day, and the | chief was in a red hot temper, which rose to white heat when he broke his . glasses and could only read with dlf? > " Ui? l.o. ncuuy me jigmea ?? lic^ act w fore him."Just loolc at this 9!" he roared. "It's exactly like a seven." "The figure.is a 7, sir," replied the clerk "Then." roared the old man, "why does it look like a 9?" Making It Easier.?The twelve-yearold was called upon to recite to his uncle. ' "I!ravely he began: "At midnight in his guarded tent the Turk lay dreaming of the hour when Greece, her knee?." There he faltered. Thrice he repeated, "Greece, her knee," then stopped. "Greece her knee once more, Bertie," suggested his uncle. "Perhaps she'll go easier theu." His Most Remarkable Way.--"An excellent man, isn't he?" "One of the best T have ever known," replied J. Fuller Gloom.' Why, when he misses his train on. account of his'own procrastination he blames himself, and it never enters his mind to hold everybody else responsible." ?? The Noxt Thing.?"I understand, j "' "mo,. r>wM,n thnt ! vpi v notent brandy is sometimes made from apples," sadly said a solemn citizen. "If that is the case. Brother Skumwater." sternly replied another horsefaced gent. "We must at once have a law passed absolutely abolishing apples!" In Doubt.?The pompous politician burst..iflt.o.Jhg lawyer's office and in an excited manner asked: """ " "What would you do if a paper should call you a thief ami a liar?" "Well." said the lawyer scrutinizingly, "if i wer?* you I'd toss up a nickel to see whether I'd reform or lick the editor." , FADS OF THE RIVIERA Women Smoke and Drink and Have Gay Time Generally. * Never has there been more rivalry in the setting1 of new fashions and fads on the Riviera than this season, relates a dispatch from Nice. One of the latest fads adopted by women is the wearing of monocles, which has gairyjd considerable favor, some of the wearci-s even having- adopted , a dark glass mbnocle,v.--Smoking, while .walking out of doors is being done quite extensively bv jyomen here, but one .of. the most curious si'fjhts' or all Is that which . hits . been brought about through; the use of.pchre face powder. "**\ omen using (.his puwutsr . ikivc uccome indifferent - to the rays -of., the sun 'and no longer bother about' rising a parasol". X If "'.'is"" nothing -unusual, therefore, to sea a girl walking along without any protection from the sun while her escort carefully shades his face with a gaily colored parasol. The interest in gambling has been intensified by an astounding run of luck with which one man was favored. This man Robert Siever, the English horseman, in three days succeeded in winning more than $200,000 at chemin-de-fer at the Casino at Monte Carlo. It is said that this is a record for winning at chemin-de-fer, although another person once had an equally good i;un,'of luck at baccarat. Although the maxim dm of a single stake this year is about $4,000? double what it was last year?Mr. Siever succeeded in winning .as much as. $100,000 in a single night?and by ,3 o'clock in the morning at that. HAPSBURG PALACE VACANT Government Has Plan to Use Grounds as a Park. Kaw that the emperor and other nobles of high rank are out of employment in Austria the present government is wondering to what good use it can turn the historic palace of Schonbrunn, summer residence of the Hapsburgs relates a Vienna, Austria dispatch. A foreign syndicate it said to have made an offer for it with the intention of turning it into a gambling place. The Vienna Tageblatt says, however, that Schonbrunn is to be taken over by the state, which ' ' ri i ? , THE 1ST BAPTIST CHURCH nmiAni lA.nn A AH I aunuMT ounuuu ; iuivv m. WORSHIP ......... 11 A.
