King

Physician Dbubanl
used to know out In Kansas did to ' J
grand vlxier,"
What did the Kansas main skate
dof ' the king asked. :
"Well, this, king turned the young
prince over to (he grand vixler 'and
told the G. V. to stay with tb kid all
the time and keep bunks oft of him,
and so forth; and the G. V, promised
to do It But one day when the prince
was hunting, the 0. V. squatted down
in A shady place and let him go lose
himself. And while the prince was
bumming up and down the woods yell
ing for the main skate he bumped into
a good looking dame wbo was doing
a cry. The girl said she was the
daughter of an Indian king. ,
'Chickasaw, Choctaw or Sioux T" the
prince said. 'Sioux,' the dame said, and
then she told him she'd been taking a
horseback ride and had' gone ttt sleep
and fallen off, and the horse bad
moved on, and it aa long.. ways
home. .Well, bis princelets-took ber up
behind him and started forahack,
and when they reached f ken-
tt house she eTakrfSV,,rv ,Jn-
side, JlWlJls-Tleard her say, 'Conn
kids, be happy. I've a nice young guy
for your dinner a fat one;' and then
a lot of kids said, 'Goody, mamma,"
' "Then it struck bis royal nobs that
tha dame was no Pocahontas at all,
but one of these ogresses, and be rolled'
ht hoop out of there quick; and when
he got home be told the Kansas king
about the G. V.H letting him get lost,
and the chances be'd been taking with
tha ogress.. Bo the king bad the main
skate bunted up and smothered right
off.
; "Now, what I want to say Is tnat I'm
watching this game for yon closer than
that I This mark Dugan'a - medicine
may strike in next week, and then It'll
be all off with you." .
Well, that Greek king was shy on
sense, naturally; most kings are, ex
cept those in the euchre deck; and he
said:; "Well, I guess you're right I
don't need Dugan any longer, anyway,
and ItH be just as well to kilt him."
So he sent tor Dugan, and when. Dugan
walked up to tbe desk, be said, "Reu
ben, do you know why I hit the bell
for youT" '
v "Nit" said Dugan. - J
. "Well, Dugan, t sent for you to take
your life," the king said. . - ,
Dugan was paralyzed, and ho yelled,
'What fori
What did I do?" -
"Well," the king said, "I got It on
good authority" (and that was a grand
stand bluff, because that grand vizier
was the biggest liar on earth) "that
you came here to get me, and I've con-,
eluded to stop you right now".
Then tbe king said to the squeexe
who worked the chopper, "Hit blm
with the axe."-.; ; '..;'".
Dugan made a great talk then to get
away. But that Greek king was stub
born as a mule.- He kept saying, "Nit.
Nit" I can't have you around any
longer. A mark who can cure leprosy
like you can Is dangerous." That king
was a bird. W- '::
So they blindfolded Dugan and tied
his hands and put him on his knees,
and the man with tbe axe got ready,
Then Dugan stopped them; and be
said to the king, "Hold on a minute;
I got something to tell you;" and he
told tbe king that he had a book that
was a wonder, and ashed him If ho
couldn't go boms and make bis will
and leave It to blm. ' t
- "What's the book good tor;" the
king wanted to know; and Dugan told
him It was good for a whole lot of
things, but that there was one thing
that ought to hit the king where he
lived. He said that If, after they'd
chopped his head off, the king would
turn to page'steen and read line seven,
tbe bead would answer any question
he could ask.
"Great smoke! Well, I'm for that
book, then," the king said; and he
sent Dugan home to make his will, and
fetched him back with the book the
next day. .
Well, the push had got on that some
thing good was coming, and ail . the
emirs and grand ' vlxlers and " rice
grands and floor walkers were there
when Dugan arrived. ' -
Dugan walked up with the book, -and
said: "After my bead's off, put It in a
basin and open the book. The bloodil
stop, and then you con fire away with.
your questions. But before you give
the order to carve me I want to say
for the last time that I never Intended
to do a thing to you. On the level,
that's straight; snd I think you ought
to drop this thing." ; -
"Oh, you're too late with thai chin
now," tbe king said. "I'd have to take
your head off now, Just to hear it talk,
If there wasn't any other reason. You
dnn't suppose I'd ihIbs this thing, do
Ml?"
hpn his Jolilots gave the order, and
ooaked Dugan with the ane, and
1 fell Into the basin. They nt

tongue, and begin turning them over

That book was fried la strychnine,

every time his royal knocks put bis

The bead watched him With one of

when he got over to page 'steen there

"There are tn tha minds of most
human being three great Incentives
to energy. There Is the desire of
wealth, the desire ot power and the
desire of love, and every action can be
traced to one or other ot these main
springs. Nowadays some people talk
Of another desire, the love of speed, as
a new and modern-born ambition. But
is not this Instinct, which is almost
universal, in reality very old? v

SOME CURI0U8 CLUBS.
Freak Organization Bxlated in Lom
; 3i,' (ton In Otdsit Tbnea, -'t
In tbe hist years of the 17th century
there were to be found flourishing in
London certain clubs which professed
to bsve no other reason for existence
than the gratification of whim and
peculiarities on the part ef members,
says the London Globe. A work pub
lished in 1709 and entitled 'The Secret
History of Clubs In London," sheds
some curious sidelights on tbla eccen
tric gregartousness. Coming first to
the Vlrtuosos's club, we learn that
thai Institution was established by cer
tain members of the Royal Society
with tbe object ot promoting useless. as
well as useful experiments. "Some,
by those hermetlcal bellows card an
Aeoplle, would be trying with an
empty bottle whether . nature would
admit ot a vacuum. Others, like busie
chandlers, would be handling their
scales to discover the difference be
twixt wine and water. A third tort ot
phylosophers would be condensing the
smoak ot tbelr tobacco Into oyl upon
their pipes, and then assert the same.
in spite f her nine lives, to be rank
poison to. a caL", j, . i. t: ,:i .-,
The Virtuosos drew together as mot
ley a company' of men as ever filled
dnbroom. On a full night there might
have been seen sitting side by side tbe
peer and tie tradesman, the . doctor
and tbe mechanic, each one bent on
some fatuous experiment ' FW years
tie chib enjoyed is large patronage,
but we are told that, latterly Its mem
bership fell away, owing, it appears,
to the affronts of the town and the
general ridicule, levelled against its
adherents..., .
Another of these eccentric Institu
tions was the order of tbe Golden
Fleece. X This clue was composed of
tradesmen, hn!-BKit-tPBBtfftT , "t
concliisiopfthe day's work to drink
themservea Into forKetfulness of any
sbarV practloe of which they might
hav been auiltr during the day, so
In the words of the chronicler,
they might sleep without repentenee,
But, like the Virtuosos elub,' this Ilt
nstrious society fell :upon ertl days.
The first blow to 4f prestige une
when Its leading member committee
sulfide, and then mombers seem til
have "fallen r Into tne f melancholy

neglected both their appearance and
health, became the butt of tbe appren
tices, and tnally migrated trow the
Fleece tavern to the less appropriate
ly named . Three Tun. 00 the otner
side of the river.-
A third crab' of somewhat - curlews
character was the. Surly. That soma
such society Is , In existence some
where today .will , probably be : tne
opinion ot most readers when' we say
that the Surly club brought together
carmen, lightermen and Billingsgate
porters, for tbe practice of strong
language for use during the perform
ance of their professional duties. The
more .contrary the, d Is position of
member, happened to be, the, more
was be respected. "'He that could put
on a countenance like a boatswain ia
bant weather and growl and snarl like
a cursed mastiff over a Bullocks liver.
was member fit for the thwarting so
ciety, and tbe more Indirect answers
or surly, impertinent returns he could
make to a question, the more be vss
respected for bis contradictory bttmbrTyou that your huBband is
and cross-grained abilities.'" u.-
Another club which -was baaed -en
the whimsical idea, ot w bringing . to
gether a company of men to whom na
ture bad not been kind, was the Club
of Ugly races.' The title ot this as
sembly sufficiently indicates what waa
the chief qualification. tor membership.

Use of Pistols on tho Stage,
" For some' reason-or Another mana
gers ot circuses and those theatres in
London whose programs are prepared
especially for the young, always ar-
range for a pretty liberal discharge of
gun powder In the course ef tbelr en
tertainments... A clown with a fly on
bis nose asks the ringmaster to get
rid of the annoyance, and a pistol Is
Bred mtj tbe fly. "Another "grotesque'
tits down to rest himself on a chair,
and it goes off with a reverberating
bang. Worse tbaa this, the sensation
al spectacle which now plays so large
a part in these entertainments inevit
ably ends with a perfect fusillade, ia
which men and horses are supposed to
perish In a good deal of unnecessary
agony. All through the entertainment
pistols are fired In some way or anoth
er, sometimes unexpectedly and some
times which is a far greater trial for
tbe nerve after prolonged and ag
gravating comic aiming. We are in
clined to think this matter of the stage
nlstol Is overdone.: By far the larger
portion ot the audience cover their
ears, bend down their nraas, or con
tort their features in painful suspense,
directly a pistol makes Its appearance
on the stage or in the ring. They do
not like It, and so far as we can Judge
from tbe agitated faces of the cbll
dren, they do not like It either. It
may be a sad commentary on modern
decadence that the present generation
"cannot abldu" pltol firing In a the
atre, but the fact remains. London
