ENGLAND's COOP QUEEN Queen was
not twenty years Of age when she assembled the
throne. Coming into poss ssion OF power With
heart fresh, tender and pure, and With all
her instincts inclined to mercy, we may be sure
that she found mauy things that tried her
strength of resolution to the utmost. 20
bright, beautiful mornng, the young Queen
was waited upon at her palace, at Windsor, by
the Duke OF wellington, who bad brought
from London various papers r.qulrlog her
signature to make them operative. One OF
them was sentence of court martial proneuuo
ed against soldier Of the line. that sentence
that be be shot dead. The Queen looked upon
he paper, and then looked upon the wondrous
beauties that nature had spread to her view.
"What has this man done ?" she asked. The
duke looked at the paper, and replied.
"Ah, my royal mistress, that man, fear.
islincorrieible. He has deserted three times. y
"And can you not say anything in his behalf, my
Iord?' Wellington shook bishead. "Oh think
again, prey you'll" Seeing that Her Majesty

would not hsvs the man shot in any event, be

gallant, and really good soldier. But" he
added, think of the influence. Influence |"

bosom heaving with strong emotion. LET it

to let me know the result. A good soldier, you
said. On, thank you for that! And you
may tell him that your good word saved him.
Then she took the paper and wrote, with bold.
firm hand, across the dark page, the bright,
saving word-"pardonedI" The duke was
fond of telling the stols; and be was willing
also to confess that the giving of that paper to
the pardoued soldier gave him far more j,y
than he could have experienced from the taking

The White House.

The Presidents mansion at Washing ton, commonly known as the "White House" occupies reservation of about twenty acres of ground on Pennsylvania Avenue, midway between the Treas ury Building and the departments of State, War, and Navy. Fountains, flowers, and shrubbery adorn the in- closurs, which forms a pleasant little park. The house itself is rather plain, substantial building, one hundred and seventy feet in length and eighty-si feet wide. It is constructed of freestone, painted white. The interior is far more elegant and attractive than the outside The largest apartment, known as the East Room, measures eighty feet by forty, and is twenty-two feet in height. The adjoining Blue Room, tastefully decorated in blue and gold, is devoted to social and diplomatic re- captions. The Green Room and the Red Room, so designated from their furnishings, are each thirty by twenty feet in dimensions. The second floor contains the apartments for the Presi- dents family and the Executive offices.
 The first Presidents House, occupied by President Adams in 1900, was burned by the British in 1914. Four years later the erection of the present house was begun, and it was finished in 1929. Nearly two millions of dollars have been expended in it's construction and decora-

A Great Monopoly.

It is a disgrace to the American na- tion that Congress will enact law by which one firm in the Union can make $3O, 100000 in twelve or fifteen years and another one $1O, ,OO0, ,O0O in less time. But such are the facts. Two great con- cerns in the United States wiring millions of money annually from the sick and suffering through their monopoly of the single article of quinine. This drug is a necessity, yet it is so high as to be virtually beyond the reach of the poor man or his family. But the people of the entire country are casting about to see if they cannot find substitute, and it is said that one has been discovered in preparation called "Thermaline. " It is not patent medicine, but is pre- pared in prescription form by Dundas Dick < Co.,, the eminent chemists of New York, whose well-known character and high standing in the front ranks of manufacturing chemists is guaranteed assurance of it's virtues. The component parts of Thermaline are the carefully extracted Alkaloids of Calisaya Bark with Eucalyptus, combining all the medical properties of Peruvian Bark and the fever tree of Australia. As substi- ute for quinine it is safe and reliable, and SO pronounced by many most eminent physicians, both in malarial diseases and as general tonic. It sells at 25c. per box, and one box is worth S2. 50 worth of quinine. and we believe most of the Druggists now sell it, l. Iecns Journal Of Commerce.

Debt, less cash in the Treasury, $2, ,O27,- 100, ,265.83, an increase of $8O2, 724. IT during the month of March.
 A vigorous attempt will be made in the present Congress to procure the passage of bill to throw open the Indian Territory for settlement. A number of Boston capitalists have lately purchased many thousand shares of the stock and bonds of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, which will be greatly benefited by the passage of the proposed act. The bill will provide that United States Courts shall be established in the Territory, and that the conditional land grants given rail roads in the Territory shall revert to the Government. The railroads in the Territory are willing to surrender their land grants if settlers may be permitted to preempt lands in the Territory.
 It is figured out at the Treasury Department that only $6, ,60O,O0O of the new standard silver dollars have got into circulation, although $15,O0O,O 900 more have been coined and are lying idle in the Treasury.
