Ills only piece of luggage on these occ-a Ions consisted of n small hand bag. which never contained, anything but the regulation bottle, four hundker chiefs and a traveling cap. Returning one Monday to the capital, the minister met a friend, a gentleman named Von Fischer, who was carrying a bag exactly the counterpart of his excellency's valise. Baron von Fischer amiled a thoughtful smile as he noticed the similarity of the bags and wbis pered to the minister: "My bag is filled with smuggled Turkish tobacco. You will be good enough to shield me against the custom house spies. 1 hope." The minister looked serious. "1 will do nothing of the kind." be said, and when the two gentlemen arrived at J the Pest depot the minister beckoned to a custom house oficlal and said.1 "My friend desires to pay duty on a lot of Turkish tobacco he has In his j bag."

The minister of fins nee looked per plexed for a moment, then he resolutely ! grabbed his friend's ba ? and said to the official: "Well, assess me for the to bacco, but be quick about it 1 have no time to lose." The official acted od ; the suggestion, and the minister paid S florins and 50 pfennigs into the tress ury of his own department Then he Jumped into the carriage and drove off. shouting out his thanks to the baron for his present of twenty pounds of excellent tobacco.?Argonaut Quite English. George Broadhurst tells of an English shopkeeper, the soul of amiability "You are an American, sir. are you not?" he asked. "Yes." said Mr Broadhurst to save lengthy explana- j tions. "Now. 1 have a conundrum that1 1 always save for the Americans, be cause they say they are so deuced clever. When you put a billiard ball on the table, what is the first thing it does?" "Why. I don't know," said, Mr. Broadhurst uncertainly. "Perhaps It waits for its cue." "Ah. that's very clever, very clever." countered the lit-! tie Englishman, "but not so good as the real answer. The first thing it does is to look round." Unintentional Frankness. The eldest sons of British peers bear i what are known as "courtesy" titles i when the head of the house has two or three and can spare an inferior one to his 6on. Earl Winterton. a young English politician. has a keen sense of humor and can enjoy a Joke on himself.
