Mood the Welsh to be a remarkably
Joquent ongue. 'Yes yes it Iss so'

xpres8 exactly what he means. As
for the English I call it not n language

" 'You haf noted that an Englishman
or a foreigner In speaking his language

ikelp out the meaning of the words but

A Famous Lenrfon Tavern.
The Mermaid was the name of a fa-
mous London tavern frequented by
noted literary men and actors during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the
wit and talent of the time assembled
there for convivial enjoyment. Au-
thors have made It the scene of great
mind combats between such men as
Shakespeare Den Johnson. Beaumont

others of reverential memory. It was
the gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club the origin of which U
ascribed to Sir Walter Italelgh. Tlic
Mermaid tavern was located In Bread
street and was handily reached from
three thoroughfares so that It has
been often referred to in various ways.
The Mermaid in Bread street the Mer-
maid In Friday street and the Mermaid
In Cheop streot were however all one
and the same. It was the nearest to
Bread street. The Mermaid was de
stroyed In the great London fire. There
were other Mermaid taverns one In
Cheapslde and nnother In Comhlll. but
they had no such associations as clung
to that of Broad street.

A Reassuring Truth.
A lady on one. of the ocean liners
who seemed very much 'afraid of ice-

happen In case of a collision.
The captain replied "The Iceberg
would move right along madam just
as If nothing had happened." And the
old lady seemed greatly relieved. Success.

Brady cannot well complain of the
patronage that Brownwod has been
giving its fair this week when It Is
considered that there is a counter at-

Von Bulow and Saraiate.
In one of his letters Von Bulow re-
fers to Sarasatc as follows: "He has
enchanted me beyond measure par-
ticularly in his concert of yesterday
when he played a splendid work.
'Symphoule Espagnole. by Lalo

ner that today I am still Intoxiraicd

that he cannut runic to see me. N. II
I have purposely avoided his person-
al acquaintance. I'erhaps he has tried
to see me for over my door stands the
notice: .

"But perhaps he did not ring the
bell. (He never plays under 1000

pass which I returned with the re-
mark that for such an Important con-
cert I could certainly nfford to buy my

much to pa3'."

Ho Preferred Mules.
One of the iet hobbles of Senator
Christopher Ma gee was his newspaper
the Pittsburg Times. He kept the pa-
per wdll to the front and it was a
credit to modem journalism. One
morning the Times had been .scooped
on a railway wreck. .
"Senator" asked an Intimate hc-'
quaintance. "how do you console your-
self on the loss of that wreck story
this morning?"
"By congratulating ourselves" he an
swered quickly "that we-are among
the number who missed that ill fated
train."
On another occasion as the senator
was approaching the Times building
on Fourth avenue lie uotltcd a crowd
gniuorcu Miotic a wagon winch was-
tilled with hnj.' rolh of newspaper. A
wheel was caught lira deep rut In the
pavement ud could not be budged.
"Senator" laughed a friend "they
managed at lau to u'et -your jmper Into

"Yes." answered Mr. Ma gee his eyes
twinkling -with good humor "and I'm
not trusting to men to get It out again.

The Queerest Salad.
A gourmet as he mixed a salad of
chicory said: "The world's queerest
salad and possibly Its most delicious
one la eaten by the Inolts of northwest
Greenland. It Is a salad of undigested
moss from tho stomach of a fresh
killed reindeer a bitter sharp stim-
ulating salad as good for the diges-
tion as an electrical massage. The
Inolts live almost exclusively on fish;
hence salads nro a favorite dish with
them. But no salad In their minds
compares 'with that which they wrest
from the slaughtered reindeer. They
say this salad Is crlsper tenderer and
more appetizing than any other and
they sny it wards off Indigestion. They
fight for It they spend their last penny
on It quite as the Indians do with
firewater." Exchange.
Able to Hear IL
Joseph Medlll of the Chicago Tribune
was somewhat deaf although his abil
ity ut times to hear what was said In
nu ordinary tone of voice was frequent-
ly remarked. It Is related of him that
he dropped into the business depart
ment of the ollice one day to make an
Inquiry about something that had oc
curred to him and a young man who
had been in his employ only a few
months undertook In a loud tone of
Xolce to enlighten him.
' "What did you suy?" asked Mr. Me
dlll putting his hand to his cur.
The young man repeated the ques
tion In a still louder voice.
"I can't hear you" said the editor.
"OhP chase yourself. around the block.
you old granny!" muttered the Impa
tient employee Just above his breath.
"I am not an aid granny." said Mr.
Medlll. turning nway aud 1 shall- no?
chase myself around the block."
The fresh young man made imme
diate arrangements to sns good by to
his Job. bur the great editor probably
thought that the lesson he had re
eelved was siifliclcnt and did not dis
turb him.

During ono Sj.c.tk - Cannon's bit
ter political tfg'if in his district In Illi
nois the opposition resorted to desper
ate tactics. Among other things friends
of Uncle Joe were summarily dismiss-
ed from positions they held In the pub-
lic service. Some of his friends be
came alarmed at this and one of them
called on the speaker at his residence
and said somewhat excitedly:
"Joe. Smith ami Jones have Just lost
their positions In the postofllce. What
are we going to do about It?"
Uncle Joe took another puff at his
cigar and then answered with a benev-
olent smile: "Nothing. If you go into
battle you have got to expect to have
some dead and wounded."

to her you won't have money enough
to do It." Liverpool Mercury.
