In 1877 Count Schack determined to bequeath his picture gallery gal-lery to the German empire, but when he was going to make his will to this effect he was told that this would not do, the German empire not being a person recognized rec-ognized by the law and therefore not capable of inheriting. The count then made the German emperor em-peror the heir to his gallery, which he wished to preserve to the nation as a whole, including the building, which was raised by the famous architect Gedon.

Huyler Wester-velt Wester-velt and Murphy went into a big b:pot and shoe store a few days ago to buy some patent leathers. Of course it was near the first of the month, and the boys had "money to burn." Westervelt is a tall, strapping fellow and towered mightily above the ex-collegian. The salesman was soon attending to Huy-ler's Huy-ler's wants and had just fitted him nicely nice-ly to a pair of spanking bluchers when he turned, and looking at Murphy, who sat by in silent patience, said, "You'll have to take the boy to be fitted over to the youths' department." Westervelt's shrieks of laughter could be heard a block awav as he led Tottie by the hand to the place where they had plenty of small sizes. Huyler had to tell Captain Ward, and Murphy got his revenge when he told Johnny, "That's all right, Mr. Ward, but just the same I got the same style shoes for $1.50 les3 than Huyler," Huy-ler," and Yale frisked about iu great glee.
