Under the coat was a white waistcoat, which was almost entirely bidden by the ribbons and wide sashes of bis orders. His satin breeches ended in a pair of high boots or gaiters of red velvet, which came above the knees and were more supple than leather, for the thickness of leather on legs that were often painful from gout would bave created too much friction. He made a great point of these boots. He thought that they made bim look like a general, ready at any moment to spring upon horse, though this was a physical Impossibility to bim since be was much too fat and too Intirm. He used powder with a view to biding the white locks of age. and this gave his complexion an appearance of youth. From "The Return of Louis XV III.," by Gilbert Stenger. Tailing tho Tim.

A PATENT IS TRIED Local Fire Chief Approves of The Invention of C. E. Atkinson. AIDS IN FIGHTING FIRES Charles E. Atkinson of this city has been granted a patent on a device for the quick application of hose to the fire plugs, which, it is thought, will be very successful and will doubtless be universally adopted in practically every large city In the country. By means of the patent, which consists of a coupling arrangement on the hose the hose may be applied to the fire plug without stopping the hose wagon, and a great deal of time is saved when time is badly needed. The device has been tested by fire chief Ed Miller of this city and found to be very satisfactory. It was also highly recommended by Fire Chief Coots of the Indianapolis department. At present the new apparatus is being tested in New York tVy on high pressure lines. THE KING'S ORDER. It Waa Obayed, and Yet th Monarch Was Not Happy. When King Gustavus III. of Sweden was in Paris be was visited by a deputation of the Sorbonne. That learned body congratulated the king on the happy fortune which bad given bim so great a man as Scheele. the discoverer of magnesium, as bis subject and fellow countryman. The king, who took small interest in the progress of science, felt somewhat ashamed that be should be so ignorant as never even to have beard of the renowned chemist. He dispatched a courier at once to Sweden with the laconic order. "Scheele Is to be Immediately raised to the dignity and title of a count." "His majesty must be obeyed." said the prime minister as he read the order, "but who In the world Is Scheele?" A secretary was told to make inquiries. He came back to the premier with very full Information. "Scheele Is a good sort of fellow." said he, "a lieutenant In tbe artillery, a capital shot and a first rate band at billiards." The next day the lieutenant became a count, and the Illustrious scholar and scientist remained a simple burgher. The error was not discovered until tbe king returned home. His majesty was indignant. "You must all be fools." be exclaimed, "not to know who Scheele isr Argonaut. THE CRISIS. A Loving Mothar Guides Her Qirl at the Fateful Moment. "Your whole future life depends upon it." Tbe mother, her face tinged with sympathy which we must ever feel In the presence of an immaturity that is hesitating between right and wrong, laid her band over that of her beautiful daughter. "Yes. dear," she continued, "inte every life there comes at one time or another a supreme temptation. If tbe crisis is passed all is safe, but if you yield at tbe fatal moment you cannot retrace your steps. You are then committed to a fatal policy." "But. mother, father says be cannot afford It." "Exactly. Fathers from time immemorial have always said that. It is their way of imposing on youth and Innocence. Go forth at once and buy the gown. Do not forget that I am with you. that I will stand back of you with ail the feeble strength I can command." So aaying. tbe proud woman folded into her arms the weak creature, who even then, if It had not been for ber timely rescue, would bare been betrayed Into a humiliating and shameful surrender.

MAY LOCATE CHILD Little Alma Kellner Is Thought To Be in Indianapolis Now. HER MOTHER IMPLICATED? (American News Service) Indianapolis, Dec. IS. The missing child, Alma Kellner, of Louisville, is in Indianapolis, in all probability, according to information in possession of the police of this city. The child was brought here by a man whose name is not divulged. The police believe the mother has knowledge of the child's whereabouts, and the trouble grew out of the father's objections to the child entering a Catholic institution. GET WRONG PERSONS. Madison, Ind., Dec. IS. The parties suspected of being kidnappers from Louisville were captured here today but it developed that they are not kidnappers and the child is not Alma Kellner, tne missing girl. SEARCH CONTINUED. Louisville, Dec. 13. Search continu ed for little Alma Kellner, but every clew run down proved erroneous. The police are utterly baffled. THE CITY OF VENICE. Its Peculiar Site and Hon It Came to Be Selected. The city of Venice is approached from behind by a railroad constructed over a stretch of swamp. Out beyond this swamp was another swamp which was a little higher. It had been out of the water longer and had caught enough seaweed, sand, shells and sediment to be fit for birds to nest on. 'There was one Island called the Rialto, which was really quite secure, and around this one there were said to be about seventy-five or eighty other islands, which today are occupied by the city of Venice. Some of these were originally not islands at ail. They were mere high places in a great bog, which, by the cutting of channels and by artificial means, were converted into more or less fit places for the erection of buildings. Without consulting history, one could almost guess that such an unfavorable spot as this was not selected as the site for a city out of free choice, and indeed it was not. Venice was started during the fifth and sixth centuries. The inhabitants of Padua and a few more north Roman cities, chased out by tbe Huns, the Goths and other tribes of barbarians, took refuge here in an Adriatic lagoon. The savages of Asia had no boats, so that the settlement was very safe, and, leading an independent life, prospered here by itself during the middle ages at a surprising rate. It was a monstrous work to make the city secure from the sea. Ship loads of stone vre brought from other coasts. Dams id canals were built at great cost, and the residents finally got enough of dry land about them to feel moderately safe. Electricity Is Plants. Electric currents in plants are due, says Kunckel. to the movements of water In the tissues, and not to differences of potential, existing independently. It was considered probable that vegetable electricity was due to biological processes, especially respiration and tbe consequent chemical changes. In experimenting with leaves and flowers dicotyledons and on a Urge mushroom In an atmosphere of hydrogen it was found that the electric current was diminished, but never quite suppressed, owing probably to Intramolecular respiration. The electric current revives on air being readmitted. ABKLAtna: Mother says "thev can't say anything tot good about Gold Uadal Flour." Charct.

The president this morning sent to the senate the appointment of Judge Horace H. Lurton, of Tennessee, to succeed the late Justice Peckham of the supreme court. A HISTORIC VOLUME. rbe Bible t'aed by the Inlted States Supreme Court. Kept securely under lock and key in the supreme court room at Washingtou there is a small Oxford Bible around which cluster many notable and historic incidents. It was printed at Oxford in 1799, first came into the court's service in 1808 and Is believed to be one of the 20,000 Imported by congress a few years before. During its court career this volume has been called into service every day on which the august tribunal has held session. The great constitutional lawyers of the formative period of our government as a prerequisite of their admission to practice before this learned body kissed its material face. Besides these great legal lights every associate and chief justice, with the exception of Chief Justice Chase, who bad a Bible of his own, and every lawyer except Daniel Webster, sworn to practice before the supreme court bar has taken his oath of allegiance on this little book. It is a tradition of the court that when Daniel Webster came before this high tribunal in his first argument in the defense of the chartered rights of his alma mater, Dartmouth college, against the legislative attacks of New Hampshire, by some strange inadvertence tbe oath was not administered. The tradition goes further, intimating that the Judges were so impressed by the eloquence of his appeal, which stands out today as a classic In legal lore, that they either forgot or dared not mention his dereliction. It Is no wonder that this little Bible is so carefully preserved, endeared as it Is with the memories of America's greatest statesmen and jurists. When a president is to be sworn the clerk of the court usually purchases a new Bible, and after tbe certificate bas been affixed h presents it to the first lady of the land. Leslie's Weekly.

INJURED WOMAN WAS DETERMINED THE CAR WOULD STOP AND SHE WAVED HER ARM UNTIL CAR STRUCK IT.
That it does not pay to be too persevering, was proven when Mrs. Oscar Thomas of Dayton. Ohio, tried to flag an east bound limited interurban at Graves stop, three miles west of th city, yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock. As a result of her efforts she had her arm broken. Mrs. Thomas had been visiting friends near Graves stop yesterday and she desired to board the interurban to go to her home in Dayton. It bad not been explained to her that limited cars, did not stop at Graves, except In rase of emergency. As the car approached, she waved her arms and noticing that the car did not slow up, she continued signalling It. The car shot past, striking tbe woman's arm and breaking it between the elbow and shoulder. Her screams attracted the attention of the conductor, who stopped the car and brought her to this city, where her Injuries were cared for.
