~ HE POSES IN THE ALPS.
The "Dear Old Shepherd” Who Doe*
It For a Consideration.
Nearly every adventurer upon the
Alps nowadays carries a .camera. It
is a sign of the times. People have
become obsessed with the importance
If realities, and the camera is the only
possible agent to enable you to show
realities to your friends. It is not of
much use to tell them about some
strange sight or of some curious con
fomatlon of nature you may have
met In your climb. You must show
it to them.
A feature of the Alps today is the j
number of worthies who earn their !
bread by means of the camera. There j
is an old man at Grindehvald, for in
stance, who makes quite n comforta
ble competency by standing in front
of his chalet when visitors laden with
cameras aro coming up the side of the
mountain and blowing upon a tre
mendous horn.
“IIow very quaint!” exclaims the
unsuspecting tourist “The dear old
shepherd is calling home the cows.”
The dear old shepherd, however, is a
man of sound business principles. He
doesn’t drag his antiquated instru
ment about his house for the fun of
the thing. Neither does he perform
upon it for the benefit of his flocks
and herds, for be owns none. But he
will tell you frankly, when you ask
him to stand “quite still,” that he will
very willingly pose in whatever man
ner you like, but you must first pay
him a couple of francs for his trouble.
That old man is probably the best
known character in the Grisons and
the hero of many local tales.—Wide
World Magazine.
BUTT AND HIS BANKNOTES.
Isaac Was a Great Orator, but Was
Careless With Money.
Some amusing anecdotes are told of
Isaac Butt, tlie famous Irish orator,
in “The Life of Old Dublin,” by Mr.
James Collins. The author recalls the
fact that Butt was very careless in re
gard to money and repeats a reminis
cence which he heard from the late
Judge Adams:
“Poor Isaac Butt wras a man of
splendid genius, but, as all the world
knew, careless to the last degree in
money matters. I was in Youglial
when the election petition was tried
there, and Butt was counsel for Mr.
Weguelin. At the close of the trial
I Mr. Butt was handed his check, run
ning to several hundred pounds. The
moment he got it he went over to one
of the banks and cashed it
“Butt was staying at the house of a
Youghal gentleman, und in the morn
ing he put his hand in his pocket and
found the money was gone. I shall
never forget the hullabaloo that fol
lowed. Consternation, suspicion, bed
lam swept through the house. And in
the middle of it all, just us the police
were being summoned, the young son
of the house turned up with the miss
ing banknotes.
“It had been a windy night, the win
dow shook in the loose frame, and
Butt, annoyed by the noise, got up,
stuffed the first wad of paper he could
find between the frame and the case
ment, went to bed again and forgot all
about It”
Not What Was Meant.
A certain doctor, who is, on his own
frank admission, “the ugliest man in
four counties,” has a keen sense of
humor which enables him to enjoy
many real and unconscious reflections
upon his facial deficiencies.
Once, after he had arrived too late
to succor a poor woman who had been
killed in a factory, the local newspa
per published an ambiguous account of
the case, which the doctor, with grim
appreciation, preserved.
Having first described how the wo
man had come by her injuries, the
paragraph went on to say:
"Strong hopes were entertained of
saving her life until Dr. P— arrived,
but these hopes unfortunately proved
ill founded, for the moment the doctor
showed his face within the door the
poor woman fell back with a gasp and
expired."—Philadelphia Ledger.
Trick of the Orator.
Disraeli, whose eloquence Lord Cur
zon ranks below that of Gladstone,
tried hard to give his hearers the im
pression that he was not in the habit
of preparing his speeches. Discussing
Plunket’s oratory with Disraeli. Lord
Granville remarked that the Irish
statesman hesitated so long for a
word that he seemed to be on the
point of breaking down. “Lord bless
you!” Disraeli exclaimed. “Did that
take you in? Why, that is part of the
trick. I have often done it to make it
appear that my speech has not been
prepared.”—London Chronicle.
What They Needed.
"Now, my friends,” said the candi
date, making another effort to arouse
enthusiasm In his hearers, "wbat do
we need in order to carry this con
stituency by the biggest majority In
its history?”
The response was Immediate and en
thusiastic. “Another candidate!” yell
ed the audience.—Toronto World.
