SHE HUSHED KING EDWARD How Alice Nielsen Reproved His Majesty for Speaking While She Was Singing. One evening the duchess of Manchester entertained In honor of the late King Edward. Miss Alice Nielsen, the American opera singer, was present and sang. Among others there was a request fmr Tosti’s “Goodby to Summer,’ ’Bq in the first flush of its great popularity. With the composer at the piano, the first stanza went with no strange or unusual occurence, but while Tosti was playing the soft interlude to the second stanza, the king turned to one of his party with some remark, and his sonorous bass sounded out sharply through the room against the soft harp-like chords of the piano. With exquisite daring, Miss Neilsen looked straight at his majesty and began the line: “Hush—then an ominous pause— ”*tiß a voice I" By this time the royal listener was all attention and looking straight into a pair of eyes dancing with ill-suppressed merriment. There was a moment of suspense, when the king saved the joke by starting the laugh in which the company Joined. The royal guest took his gentle reprimand with true gallantry.—Joe Mitchell Chapple In National Magazine.

Spencer and Free Libraries. Ruskin’s dislike for public libraries was shared to the full by Herbert Spencer. When the trustees of the British Library of Political Science asked Spencer to present bis works to the library, he replied: ‘‘From time to time I have had various applications akin to the one you make, and have in all cases declined compliance. I disapprove of free libraries altogether, the British museum included, believing that in the long run they are mischievous rather than beneficial; as we see clearly In the case of local and municipal free libraries which, instead of being places for study, have become places for reading trashy novels, worthless papers, and learning the odds. I no more approve of free libraries than I approve of free bakeries.**< Professional Chaperons. Tn a girls’ finishing school In New York they have professional chaperons who do nothing but take young women out, walk them areund and fetch them back again, They take their charges to trains and meet them at trains. They .are paid, not by the week or month, but by the job, so much an assignment And the curious thing about It la that they are bonded. They are actually bonded. The girls themselves have never been able to find out why they should be bonded. A

From Obr Friends in Arizona. PhoenikrArizpna, Dec. 20, 1611 Editor Journal: > Dear Sir—As there were a number of friends who wanted mb to write them, I will take this way to comply with their requests (if you are willing). We left Syracuse October 12th and stopped in Missouri a few days and also in Kansas for a short visit Had a very pleasant time and arrived in Phoenix pctober 22, a very nice day. The day before we passed through four inches of snow in New Mexico. The first week we were here it rained four days, but since that it has been nice sunshine and warm dags with cool nights. The ranchers are now cutting the fifth crop of alfalfa. They had a flood in the valley in July that spoiled thousands of tons of hay If rained for thirty-six hours and the water came off the mountains in such quantity as to overflow the Arizona canal and the banks gave way and flooded tfie valley with water to a depth of five or six inches on the level. There has been a great improvement in the valley since I was here four years ago, and there would have been a greater improvement if they didn’t hold the land so high. Land in alfalfa, with no buildings, sells at from S2OO to SSOO an acre, and some desert land is held at S4OO. It was my pleasure to attend the Territorial fair. They had very good exhibits .in fruits and vegetables of all kinds, and stock as a rule was good; one cow sold for $650, and quite a number brought from SIOO te $450. They had many things to amuse the crowd, among which were shooting and broncho busting. The man who did the shooting was sent here to advertise an ammunition. He would throw up four balls the size of a lemon at a time and break them all before they would drop very far. As for the broncho busting, there were six in the contest and the prize was a gold mounted saddle, which was won by a man from Flagstaff. C I have been nearly all over th* valley and what I haven’t seen I expect to, also the Roosevelt dam, before we come home. lam well, but my wife is about the same as when in the old Hoosier state. With good wishes and a Meriy Christmas to all, I remain, C. V. Smith. — Attention Democrats. There will be a Democratic caucus at the office of Butt and Xander’s. Saturday, January 6th, at 2 p. m, lor the purpose of electing precinct committeemen and transacting other business. You are especially requested to be present.

Real "Tumblers.” Originally a tumbler was far from what it is today, and its true meaning has been lost In the many graceful forms in which it is to be seen. What a "tumbler” really is may be inferred from an extract from a gen- > tieman’s diary, written in 1803, which ■ also throws light upon the social customs of the times. The entry is ae i follows: "Had a few friends to dinner. Tried my new tumbling-glasses. Very successful; all got drunk early." These tumbling-glasses, soon called “tumblers” for short, were made with a round or pointed bottom so that they could not be set down when they contained liquids without falling over, and spilling their contents. They were made as a sort of Joke to condnca ta ranid drinkins:

What They Both Said. Horace Greeley once wrote a note to a brother editor in New York, whose writing was as illegible as his own. The recipient of the note, not being able to read it, sent it back by the same messenger to Mr. Greeley for elucidation. Supposing It to be the answer to his own note, Mr. Greeley looked over it, but likewise was unable to read it, and said to the boy: “Go take it back What does the damned fool mean?" “Yes, sir,” said the boy; “that is Just what he saya.’’ Weil Supplied. Beggar—Please, mister, give me a dime for my three hungry children. Pedestrian (hurrying on) —Don’t need any more, thank you.
