TAMED THE OLD SOLDIER.
He Was Not Ma Beggar,” but Carmen ■
Sylva Became One.
One day, walking m a hospital ward,
the queen of Koumaiun came upon a*
ohl soldier suffering from a compound
fracture of the mu and threuteu**'i
with gangrene. He would not gi'^ i
consent to the surgeons to amputate,
fie feared that should he do so he
would be classed among the beggars
**l am not a beggar,’* said the stoop,
old soldier proudly. “I'll lose m.v life,
but not my honor.”
•• ’Tis true.” said Carmen Sylva. “you
are not a beggar, but I am” Sin*
threw herself on her knees at the be! •
side. “I have never prayed but to Cod.
and. taking his hand, she added: “But
1 now supplicate you to listen to his
wish and mine! Let your leg he taken
oil and spare your life to your family*
your country and to me. and” —
“And, if I consent, what then?
“What then!” she exclaimed joyful
ly. “Why* I shall give you the mo-f
beautiful artificial leg that can be
made in Europe, and when the war »s
over yon shall come and dance at tie
palace with your sons*’
“I consent.” be said softlv, “but y» *•
must hold my hand during the opera

“JUMP, JUDY, JUMP!”
Dancing In London In the Early P-»r*
of the Last Century.
Lady Bell, writing in the London
Times regarding the modern dance,
quotes extracts from **Tbe Letter Bag
Of Lady Elizabeth Spencer Stanhope
The following passages are taken
from a letter written in 1S12:
-Lady Elizabeth gave a very success
ful ball, where, tor the first time in
London, the polka was danced in pul.
lie and people stood upon the chan*
and rout seats to watch it * * * M*
Theodore Hook declared that ‘the ob
noxious dance was calculated to lead
to the most licentious consequence
* * * Subsequently the Sporting Maga
zine * * * denounced the dance which,
’to the disgrace of sense and taste,
has obtruded itself into the whole oil
ole of the fashionable world. * * * *
will corrupting dance, * * * a com
pound of immodest gesture and in
fections poison.’ ”
On the other hand. I must also quote
from the same work the admonition
of an Irish lady of that period at a
ball to her daughter, who was not dis
playing enough spirit in her dancing:
-Jump, Judy, jump! The guardsmen
are looking on!**
Intellectual Humor.
The region of intellectual humor,
which may be roughly illustrated by
such sayings as that of George Sand
that nothing is such a restorative u*
rhetoric or the claim advanced by a
patriot that Shakespeare was undoubt
edly a Scotchman on the ground that
his talents would fusttfy the supposi
tion. The humor of George Sand's
epigram depends upon the perceptioi
that rhetoric, which ought to be basts'
upon a profound conviction, an over
whelming passion, an intense enthusi
asm, Is often little more than the aban
donment of a personality to a mood of
intoxicating ebullience, while the hu
mor of the Shakespeare story lies in h
sense of the way in which a national
predilection will override all reason
able evidence.—A. C. Benson in **At
Large.”
