The society speaks ' of "America" as our national anthem, though its claim to be that is not un disputed. It is satisfied with the worda Which Dr. Smith wrote in 1832, but ob jects to the tune because it is the same the British use for "God Save the King and the Germans for their "Hell dlr lm Siegerkranz." The late Cecil Rhodes would not have objected to it on that account, but would doubtless have held it to be providential that Americans, British and Germans used so good a tone In common. But the Rhode Island Cincinnati don't eeem to care to be amalgamated Anglo-Saxons. They have the America for the Ameri cans feeling and distrust a British tune even in Amer'can company. So they have appointed a committee to receive and examine such tnnes as may be offered for ' alliance with "America," and if they get a good one they propose a Chode Island divorce which shall separate Dr. Smith's wordi from their present mate and then a re marriage to the new one.

I tLInk tier vrr'rr A Gnat Artlat'a Metao. s . . ' Mortimer Menpes In hla notable work on Japan tells a story of the great Jap1 anese artist Elyosat which was related to him by art English resident of the country; "A friend of his had prepared four magnificent sliding panels cover ed with, the finest silk and bad given them to the painter, with the request that he would execute some of his mas terpieces on them for him. For eight or nffe years Klyosal had kept those pan els, and they still remained bare, but great masters are always erratic, and the would be purchaser never gave up hope.. One day, however, be burst In upon my friend with the terrible Intelli gence that Klyosal waa dead drunk and had ruined his panels, 'lie's smashing away at them on the floor,' and he is simply crawling over them,' he said, in a towering rage. My friend agreed to go around with hlin to Klyosal'a house to, try If possible to stop the outrage. When ; they arrived, they found . the master in a high state of fever and looking: more like a wild animal than a rndnian being, with hla tusklike teeth and his poor, pitted face, sweeping and backing about all over the silken pan els., as they entered Klyosal left the .room, leaving bemnd him tne panels scattered Irregularly over the floor, but oach one smothered with work. 'Look 'It 1 waa 1 who Introduced Klyosal to you. and It waa I who suggested his Saluting these doors; therefore it Js iorly fair that I should .relieve you pt them and And you a new set, which I will willingly do.' But the owner of the panels, shrewdly guessing that my friend bad not made this magnificent offer without some good reason, chang ed Ids mind and said that he could on no account receive so costly a gift He kept them, and wisely, too, for those four panels are now universally consid ered as some of Klyosal's greatest mas terpieces." , 1 Held Court la tbo Smoker. ' A writer In the New York Tribune tells-of an MiiuHual -event which occur red In a pusoung. r train In the Creek Indian Nation t fnv years ago. A cer tain United t'tatcu commissioner was anxious to clear bis docket before an other session of the federal court lie did not live in the towu where his court was situated and made the trip there at Intervals of two weeks. Coming back from court one night he met on the train attorneys for each party In a felony ruse. The accused and wit nesses were present It was fortunate, indeed, that the prosecutor was along; not. uncommon, however, for all lived . fn the same town up the road fifty miles. - The astute Judge saw how he was to be rid of that case In a hurry, so he convened court in the front part of the smoking car, installed the brake man and conductor as bailiffs, and the case proceeded. Arriving at his sta tion, the train was held five minutes to complete the pleas and rendition of a decision. It happened that the man was convicted, his sentence there pro nounced, and the same train that took -him a free man carried him on to pris on condemned, his keeper being a depu ty delegated to take him to prison. , Heed aad the Pocket Caaiera.
