MISS ROOSEVELT'S PRANK. Dared "Nick" To Follow And Then Jumped into Bathing Tank. Honolulu Dispatch of Sept. 5 to New York Sun. The transport Sheridan brings a story of Alice Roosevelt's impulsive ness while on the steamship Man .ciuria. on her way from Nagasaki. On the forward deck, just below the bridge, a large canvas bath: ig tank .had been erected for the Taft party. On this particular morning, Miss Roosevelt stood near the tank. hat off, but with silk parasol to protec'o her. She was wearing a white silk waist and a silk skirt. "Congressman Longworth," she re marked. "if you will take a plunge dressed as you are I will follow you." Longworth, who -was arrayed in a blut coat. flannel trousers and white duck shoes shrugged his shoulders. "Well, if you don't dare, I do," -said Miss Roosevelt, and b,efore a <dozen members of the Ta'ft party -could prorest Miss Roosevelt had tossed her pa-asol aside, and dress ed as she was leaped into - the L A t,-n. "Don't you take a dare?" she shout ,ed to Longworth as she arose to the surface and started to swim as grace fully as her bedraggled clothing would allow. This-bantering was too much for the Cincinnaii man, and he plunged into the tank and helped Miss Roosevelt to the steps where both climbed up and out of -he water. RODE ON NAPOLEON'S KNEE. ,Count Bertrand Also Slept Through Siege of Paris. New York Tribune, Sept. 13. Count Bertrand, who died the other day in Paris at the age of 95, was probably the only remaining survivor .of the era of the first Napoleon who could claim to have been on terms of close intimacy with the great emperor -of the Frcnch. In fact, he was the companion of Napoleon in his exile at St. Helena. True, he was merely a child at the time. But the only pleas ure which' the fallen conquerer seem ed to find there was in playing with little Bertrand, and he used to amuse himself 1hy drilling the little fellow and by riding him on his knee. The boy -.as his godchild, and was 'the son ~of that General Count Bertrand, who, with his wife and children, accomi panied Napoleon to St. Helena and repnained with him in exile for more than five years, until he died, -bear -ing with :him in all his eccentricities of temper and of iinanner with a fideli ty and devotion thac evoked univers :al admiration on the part of the Eng Jish people on the island. Count Bertrand, who has just died. was very eccentric, and was wont to ascribe his longevity to the fact That he made a practice of annually leav ing thome, hiring a room at a quiet hotel, and then taking to his bed for thre2 months. During the whole of that time no one wtas allowed to call upon him or to visit him. Indeed, no one save his servant, almost as: old as himself, was permitted to en ter his room. Food was brought to him only once a day, and the man was uinder the strictest orders not to speak .a word to him the whole time. He wtas engaged in trhis queer pro ces o hibernation when the siege of Paris commenced. during the F'ran co-German war. His servant, obe dicat to orders, did not inform h "a that :he metropolis wVA belegure"d. and the count might never have ko--of it had not the~ bread one , -day been such vile kquale:taolemiwy day been of such vile quality that h'e lo>t his :emper and demanded of his servant that he should tell him the his servant that he should tell him the meant'tg of such negligence. Where upon, .i course, the man was forced to :r.;.rm him that the city was en ci rcletd by the German army. The count wvas momentarily stu pef3eed. He got up. and for a 'time wandered about the hotel. saying to thimself. "Paris is besieged-besieged! What ought a Bertrand to do?" Af ter having reflected for some mo mte:s, he answered his own query with the words. 'WVhy, he ought to go to bed." "And will go -:o bed." he a'md". .\nd ;' be cld. and he slept out the en'tire siege. Honesty may be a good policy, but it often runs ou't a day or two before Many a man who is too tender hearted to kill a chicken doesn't hesi tate a minute when it comes to beat ing his wife. Those injured feelings of the plain tiff in a breach of promise case ma: not be worth The price demanded but she probably needs the money. You never found any girl takin consolation out of the fact that th< reason she has freckles is because sh, has a delicate complexion. An easy way to get engaged is b, making her mother think you havi prospects form some rich relative. There is hardly any woman can bi as good a friend to a man as the on who has refused to nurry him, onli neither of them knows it until thei are somebody else's husband or wife AN ORDINANCE.
