MirAbile DlCtu.

William f. Hayes for ten years last past lead
ing successful saloonist of the city Of Earlvile,
has quit the business from qualms of conscience.
Mr. Hayes was born in the "blue grass" region
of Kentucky and was probably sucked on "old
rye" but since manhood he has adhered to total
abstinence He has now opened up a red ribbon
restaurant under the Wallace House, where drink
ing men will be made sober, and sober men vii
be kept sober. This is case of genuine reforma
ton. Who next?

RoyaIty's GoIdcn Recollections.

Fifty-four years ago the lady who is
now Empress Of Germany was present. at
a ceremony exactly like that in which
she herself was recently one of the prin-
Icipal parties. 1t was the celebration of
the golden wedding of Karl August,
Grand Duke of Weimar, her grandfa-
ther, whose name has been made famous
by his friendship with Goethe. She and
her elder sister, the Princess Marie, had
been living with their mother for about
a year at the Russian Court; but they
returned in time for the great event, and
it was they who crowned their grand
parents with myrtle. In the same year,
1925, the Weimar Court celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary Of the day on which
Goethe entered the little town; and on
this occasion also the young princesses
were among the most prominent of those
who offered their congratulations. The
aged poet, deeply moved by their kind
ness, could not utter word, but taking
the hand of each placed it on his heart.
He had a considerable share in their edu-
cation, and the Empress still recalls with
pleasure the days when she associated
with him.
