Let im SOtayas ii- Was - X well known veterinary surgeon of Elemberg, Austria, was recently called to the telephone, when this conversa tion followed: "Hello! Is this Dr. N.?" "Yes. What do you wish?" "My horse is standing stock still on his hid legs, with his forefeet in the air, and nthing can make him come down on all fours. Did you ever hear of such a queer case? What shall I do about it?" "The case is extraordinary," replied the astonished doctor. "I can give no opinion without seeing the animal. Where do you live?" "Carl-Ludwig strasse." "And your name?" "Soblesk." Here the doctor rang off and swore softly at the- wag who had fooled him. The horse in question was the-brouze animal which upholds upon -its back the fine equestrian statue of John So bieski. king of Poland, which orna ments the Carl-Ludwig street in Lem berg. Foley Kidney Pills are a true medi cine. They are healing. strengthening, antiseptic and tonic. They act quickly. W. E. Brown & Co. Two Collars ona Dog. Having bought a dog that he admir ed, a man undertook to buy a dog col lar. The dog had a neck nearly as big as his head, and the dealer advised the man to buy two collars. "What for?" said the man. "He's only got. one neck, so I guess he can get along with only one collar, can't he?" "Maybe so," said the man, go the man went away leading the dog by his new collar and chain. In less than a week he brought the dog back. "I'm afraid I can't keep him," he said. "He is too obstreperous- I can't keep him tied up. His neck is the big gest part of him, and he is as strong as an ox, therefore it is- a cinch for him to slip his collar of." "That was why I wanted you to take - two' collars," said the dealer. 'Put both on and fasten the chain to the back collar, and he can tug- away all night without getting loose. He may commit suicide, but he won't get loose."-New York Sun.

I had just come to London, and he asked me if I liked it. I said I hadn't made up my mind, and he said I would-that in London you were allowed every itidependence of opinion and action, only you must con tribute something socially-beauty (and he bowed very courteously to me, and . I bowed very prettily to him) or *it or agreeableness-and then London ac cepted you. I said: "History repeats itself. In Texas, where I was. born, they say a man is not asked his na tionality, his religion or his politics, but only if he is a good fellow." "Ah," said Mr. James, "then London is the Texas of Europe.". Jolted Mark Twain. "Mark Twain," said a magazine ed itor, "brought out 'Joan of Arc' anony mously. Before he acknowledged its authorship he sometimes fished for compliments about it.

Frequently the inquiry is made as to why the spelling tsar, to designate k-. the emperor of all the Russias, should be preferred to czar. The most nat ural and obvious answer is that the spelling indicates the Russian pronun tre' cation of the word, which czar does not. The 'title comes from an old Slavonic word. which some authorities iey are agreed is not derived from the Latin caesar. but there are authori in- ties who hold that its ultimate deriva tion is from the Roman. The origin C., of the common spelling is supposed im- to be the writings of Herberstein, ill, about 1550. The letter "c" In Roman 'Slavonic has the sound of "ts." The yletter was copied, but the sound was to not. The letter "z" never belonged in ot the word. The spelling czar is now ly regarded by many as old fashioned. )m With some Germans the spelling is, re zar, which is pronounced tsar. Many of the French have adopted tsar as 50 the spelling. and that form is increas ing in E&nglish. The London Times, a 'most careful authority, employs it, and ed so does the Encyclopedia Britannca in its supplementary volumes.-Chica Have You Voted ? You can own this Piano without any cost tolyou.

A Joke on'the Artists. Some years ago there was a colony of : artists painting in a Maine village g: some twenty miles from Prout's Neck. C All were enthusiastic admirers of S' Winslow Hbmer, and all, having had a as go at the painting of rocks and sea and realizing how difficult was the task, C bethought them of Homer. only twenty miles away. How refreshing it would - be to have a glimpse of. the man's work in his studio! Fully aware that 'it was not his custom to admit stran gers, they ventured upon the pilgrim age to that shrine. They counted on his waiving the rule where it con cerned a group that contained at least S .one full fledged national academician - and several associat' of that august k, body. They all wen.. .o Scarborough e (Prout's Neck), put up at the hotel and sent him a joint note, signing their names and begging that he would re- S ceive them. When the messenger re- - turned they read with dismay that - Winslow Homer presented his compli p ments and begged to be excused from receiving "art students."
