His Little william.
detroit Free Press

After Strange-looking old chap had been
hanging around a Michigan avenue grocery for
quarter OF an hour yesterday he was asked
his business, and he replied:
well / am poor old man. / have a son
six years old named william. He Is a lovely
child, and he is now on bed OF sickness"
But this Is not drug store" said the
grocer.
"Mebbe not .but this morning when 1 was
ready to come down town my little William
put his arms around my neck and said. 'Fa-
buy me no present. That's what he said. and
1t touched my heart"
There was pause. during which the old
man wiped his eyes and the grocer blew his
nose, and then the former continued:
:" haye no money; Thought I'd ask You 10
give me one OF those candy geese on the shelf
there- Id put tt where my William could see
lt, and when he found It he'd ask me how got

said the grocer.
Not One?"
NO
Not even one for my poor William?-
NO Sir. You'd better Jog along"
Yes, guess had said the old chan, as he
made for the door. MY William will get no
thlng. He VIII call me to him and ask the
reason why and I'll tell him that an Old pig on
Michigan"
The grocer Jumped at him and he lit out and
entered store two doors below and began:

from the Hourl
Theodore Martin has omitted some of the
MINOR el 1SOdeS or domestic life of the Queen
and Prince Albert, which woul l. perhaps have
cost him his spurs had he related them In his
Life Of the Late Prince Consort-" When the
match was one OF love, at least on the Queen's
part, Her Majesty could not always control her
temper, and on the occasion OF one OF those
trtflfng QuarTels which occur even in the best
regulated families. she threw a tea cup at the
Princes head. He excessively indignant, re-
tired to his apartments and locked the door.
The Queens anger having somewhat aoated
knocked at his door. To the question, who's
there?' she replied In tmperious tones, The
Quee n" Prince Albert did not answer, and she
went away. By and by she thought she would
try again. and to the 50 Who's there9r answered
Victoria" Again there was complete silence.
and she again retired With. the perseverance
characteristic OF woman alarmed at the trouble
to come, she determined to try a third time
and In response to the Who's there9" replied
sobblngy: your own loving wife" This
re-established. 1t is said there was no more
tescup throwing In the happy family.
Yet Victoria always remained an exacting
Wife, and never allowed her spouse what Is
oo!tfgeoiSen,ent known as Iatchkey. As the
Prince presided at many pubic dinners 1t was
OFTEN close to midnight before he could possibly
reach Windsor, and he had accordingly always
q storm to face for keeping late hours"
Finally, the Queen ordered the castle gates TO
DE closed at 1019 p. M, and the now much
monume nted husband was locked out If he hap
peGed to be behind time
Prince Albert was thoroughly stingy, and
was cordially disliked by the servants of the
royal household. He ruthlessly abolished all
the perquisites which, from long custom. they
considered themselves entitled to. He went so
far as to contiscate the money they received by
diSpOstng OF the ends of the wax candles used
TO illuminate the ball and concert rooms Even
In the houses OF the smaller gentry the servants
are accustomed to refresh with cold meat and
beer any OF their friends or the tradeSmen call
Ing during the day. At Buckingham Palace
the same custom prevailed. This, however
was too much for the Princes German ideas OF
frugaltty, and he ordered the servants to be
placed On board wages so that any hospitality
they wished to show their friends had to be
paid for out OF their own pockets. Little won
Ger, then, that when he died the grief in the
servants hall was not uncomfortable
