The rule forbidding prince to con

it to stand Iii his way. He fell IN love

a prince, he could at best confer upon
her only the doubtful position of a NOR
ganatic spouse He has therefore re
nounced his hereditary title.

Bret IIarte's father, whom he met years
ago when Harte was private tutor Oftwo

in Hudson"

OfMrs. John H. Willard, whose school
for girls at Troy, n. Y, was long famous,
and who died recently, the Troy Times
saws: "Her presence and personal in
| tercoutse among her pupils were at once
an example and education to them.
| She taught them that intellectual grasp
and force may coexist with all womanly
| grace and attractiveness. The quiet in
| fuence thus exerted has helped to re-
fine scores of homes, and during her de-
clining years she had many acknow edg-
ments of gratitude for this almost un-
conscious instruction which flowed from
her pure and gentle love"
