down to Excelsior springs, in Clay county.
As is generally known, those noted springs

does not mount one of his thoroughbred
steeds In the morning and that night seek

his innocent childhood.
Frank was making one Of his periodical

sojourning at the springs, and by some

he concluded to pay Frank visit An hour
and a halrs drive landed the doctor at the

church meeting In due course OF time DIR.
Banes explained the object Of the visit, and
asked Of Frank to be shown his horse.

Braided in strands that are golden;
Words for the spirits desiring;

The British Cabinet.
Du...

The British cabinet Is purely an expedisat,
does not rest upon any law. and its mem,
bers are not recognized by the statute
books. The constitution of England, itself un-
written, recognizes the privy council, but the
privy council. ever since George snubbed
1t because he could nc more understand
the language in which IL deliberatsd than
could its members that in which no ex-
pressed his homssickness and threatened to
60 back to Germany, has no political. iegis-
lative or executive power. IL was simply
an advisory body. and a. its advice was not
followed 1t long since ceased TO offer any.
The cabinet, which wields such enormous
power. never goes upon record In the law
Its deliberations are not written down. No
statute declares the house to which they shall
belong, or what minister's shall and what
shall not form the cabinet. Il Is only In
comparatively recent times that an nd verse

the prime minister to resign. The first oc-
