THE DRINKS
WERE ON
It la related of Frederick II., king of
Prawla, that he one day made a pres
ent of a golden snuffbox to one of his
counts. When the latter opened the
Hd he found the picture of an ass
painted upon the underside of It
Though he scarcely relished the king's
Joke, he aald nothing at the time, but
as soon as he quitted the king's pres
ence he sent one of his valets with the
stnuffbox to the city and gave him In
structions that the picture of the ass
was to be painted out and a portrait
of the king put In Its place.
A few days later a distinguished
company dined with the king. The
count was one of the guests, and after
a time he produced his snuffbox and
pretended to examine It with the air
of a man who was proud to have re
ceived such a gift from the king. The
latter, wishing to enjoy a little amuse
ment at the count's expense, mention
ed to the Duchess of Brunswick that
he had made a present of the box to
the count on the preceding day. She
desired to Inspect it. and when the
box was handed to her she opened
the, lid and, looking inside, cried in
raptures: "Perfect! The likeness Is
charm In*! It Is one of the best por
traits of you that I have ever seen!"
She banded the box to the person
next to her. who was equally charmed
with the likeness. From one to anoth
er the box was passed, and all testi
fied to the excellent resemblance which
the picture bore to the king. The king,
thinking that the ass" head was still I
to be seen oo the snuffbox, felt exceed
ingly embarrassed and scarcely knew
what to make of the Incident, but at
last the snuffbox, having made the
tour of the table, came to his hands,
and the first glance showed him how
cleverly the count had anticipated his
little Joke and turned it against him.

AJ1 tbe city traveling public loves n
strap hanger because It has a fellow
feeling for liira. This Is why the story
of how Frank Vnnilerlip, the banker,
g<)t luu start Ii an almost universal
appeal. II happened when Vanderllp
was a reporter on a Chicago newspa
per and willing financial news. The
traction situation then, as now, was al
most liupa !?>!?. Charles T. Yerkes
was traction dictator, and tho stock
holders aud t!ie public never had a
word to say in tho coutluct of the
road-1. Nor ? :ld they get any definite
idea of the financial' condition of the
properties.
The time for the annual meeting of
he stockholder.* of the principal road
came along At all the meetings Mr.
Verkos had rattled off the reports In
ihe usual undecipherable corporation
.vay. and no one knew what was do
ing. So Vanderllp planned a coup,
rie bought a share of stock, which
admitted him to the meeting. He had
been a stenographer before he became
?t now -paper man. When Mr. Yerkes
called Into his breezy explanation of
lnances the young reporter took down
?verythlng he said. Mr. Yerkes used
?no sulking phrase, and It was this:
"The passengers who have Seats pay
'he operating expenses, but the strap
dangers pay your dividends."
The next day the sentence topped
Vnnderllp's account of the meeting,
it aroused a storm of discussion, for it
laid bare some of the traction methods;
also it got Vanderllp a raise in salary
and a promotion.? Saturday Evening
