Empress Elizabeth's Adventure.

Baden-Baden Letter in Hartford
Post: The Empress Elizabeth has
been in the habit of taking long walks
every day. some fifteen or twenty
miles, generally accompanied only by
her maid of honor. A short time ago
they were going to Rastadt, a little
town about twelve miles from here,
containing royal school and barracks,
when they lost their way. They were
in despair, but were relieved meeting
two private soldiers, whom they took
as guides, not telling who they
they were-the Empress walking with
one of the soldiers, the maid of honor
with the other, for the whole afternoon,
conversing very pleasantly. The En-
press told her companion that she was
an Austrian, and would like to see him
again, inviting him to call upon her
the next day and giving him her adj
dress. The day arrived-so did the
soldier-he was ushered into room,
where he met the colonel of his regi-
ment, who questioned him about his
behavior the day before. The poor
soldier was struck dumb with horror
when he found with whom he had
chatted in such a friendly manner
AS Her Majesty dresses very simply
when she goes on these tramps. and
had simply told him that her name
was Elizabeth, he of course had no idea
OF her exalted rank. She presented
him with 20 marks, and probably he
admired that far more than the aver
age German does a sweetheart.

Young Human. Nature.

A boy brought his teacher some
beautiful and sweet-smelling spring
flowers the other morning, for which
she thanked him very kindly as she
placed them it a tumbler of water up
on her desk. In the course of tho NOR
ming the youthful giver held up bis
hand and said: "Please, Marin, can l
wet my sponge?'' NO" said the
teacher; mot just now" The boy,
however, was persistent. He appa-
rently thought he was entitled to some
especial favor, and he repeated his re-
quest in loud tone. The teacher,
however, said may" the second time
more decidedly than the first, and at
this the petitioner gave vent to his an
ger as follows: ''Say, teacher, you
know the flowers I brought you Just
now; I only lent EN- to you;
| didn't give 'em to you to keep
There was a good deal of human ma
ture in this. Children of an olde r
growth sometimes show a similar dis
position.

Pretty Mrs. Chung sinf.

1Sssy mrs. V0008 810&s
When the Santa Fe train came to a
halt at the Union Depot, Kansas City,
the other evening, an unpreposessing
Chinaman stepped ont of the sleeping
car. He was followed by another
equally homely Celestial, and then
came the daintiest little Chinese lady
ever seen east of the Rocky Mountains.
She was attired in a loose robe of sky-
tlue silk and the only ornament to her
head was fine growth of glossy black
hair, which was was combed straight
back from low forehcada and
tied in a knot behind. Surrounding
the latter was a garland of artificial
flowers of various hues. Her feet, un-
like those of most Chinese bellies, were
not infinitesimal. Her complexion was
several shades lighter than that of her
companions. and had it not been for
the almond eyes her face would have
been decidedly pretty.
The lady was Mrs. Chung Sing, wife
of DIR. Chung Sing, one of her
companions. The other was her father.
Chung Sing is a Chinese doctor, who
has moved to Kansas City from Colo
RADIO: His last field of labor was Pue-
bio, and it was while there that he ac-
CURED his wife: 1t was done in truly
Chinese fashion. Chung Sing paid the
lady's father $1,000 for her, besides
sending $500 for their travelling expen-
SEES from San Francisco. The ceremony,
which was deeply impressive, wound
up with big banquet at the Grand Pa
ciiic in Pueblo, at which seventy-tive
plates were spread.

Phases OF Enelfsh Law.

There are curious phases connected
with English law that would puzzle the
most ingenious of the followers of
Blackstone. At Dulverton, in Som
merset, a poor woman was recently
sentenced by two justices of the peace
totwelve months hard labor for steal
ing a few turnips. The case was
brought to the attention of the home
secretary in parliament and Mr.. Chill
dcrs announced that he had ordered
eleven months of the sentence to be re-
mitted. If the poor starving woman
had stolen sack of potatoes she
would probably have been sentenced
for life. In another case, at Hereford,
when woman was charged with steal
ing some hedging-gloves, the jury could
not arrive at conclusion in regard to
the matter. Accordingly the foreman,
on being asked whether the jury were
agreed as TO their verdict, replied: ''It
looks very suspicious, but we are not
certain On being reminded that
this was not verdict, the worthy man
Observed: ''Well, don't think she is
guilty, myself" Asked further whether
the rest of the jury were or were not of
that opinion, he replied; ''Well, you
see, part of us be and part of us
bean't." The jury were ordered to re-
tire again, and fortunately for the pris-
Oner the foreman was able to bring
round the dissentients to his own way
of thinking. and after some delay an.
nounced that all the jury were now un-
animously of opinion that the woman
was innocent. 1t would be curious to
know the methods employed, but prob
ably the majesty of highlands laws
was enforced by the tossing up of a

Mrs. Gould, and the fact that her hus-
bands name was 50 continually linked
with that of Fisk gave her an even
stronger desire to appear modest and
to make u marked contrast.
While Mrs. Gould possesses some
very valuable jewels, they are uuob-
trusive, and she is more apt to wear
them when alone with her husband
and family then in public. In her dress
she is also modest in color and style,
although her costumes are of very rich
material.

MIR. Gould built his fire greenhouses
particularly for his wife, who is fond

this reason she is very fond of her

Mrs. Gould enjoys fine pictures,
bronzes, and rare bric-a-brac; and her
houses are filled with the finest, she IS
fond of music, and is therefore giving
her daughter Nellie very thorough
musical training. There is little doubt
that If Mrs. Gould were asked what
She most desired in this world she
would answer, TO have her husband
relinquish all business and devot
his time to home enjoyment wit
his family.

For Tho Fourth.

A unique entertainment has been
planned by the Woman's Suffrage So
ciety, of Englewood, ILL.,, to be held
July 4. This is to be celebration of
''Foremother's Day. The Rev. Olym-
pia Brown and Mary Allen West have
been engaged as speakers. The ladies
will send refreshments and an interest
ing programme has been prepared.
The friends of woman's advancement
in and about Chicago will, no doubt, be
glad to join the ladies on this occasion,
and suffrage societies in other places
might protitably try similar entertain
ments to help the cause.

Fortunes Telling Extraordinary.

Forty years ago, in 1916, at the ultra
refined literary receptions of Lady
Blessington, a young French girl intro
duced by friend of the hostess laid
the foundation of her future reputation
in fortune-telling. 1t was Mile, lie Nor
mand, the modern pythoness, Lady
Blessington, who had been informed bv
her Partisan correspondent of the mi
raculous gifts of her protege, deter
miaed to try her before she could have
become acquainted with any of the per-
sons present or even ascertained their
names. Three men were successfully
brought to her. To the first, after ex-
aiming his haild, she said "Your
iife will be a happy and successful
lone; you will die old, without pain: but
on one occasion you and one of your
children will miraculously escape de-
structior.' To the second: ''It seems
almost incredible, but I would say to
you, in the words of Shakespeare,
Thou wilt be ki1g hereafter!' Yes
sir; you will reign,'' After gazing in
to the palm of the third the young girl
shivered, grew pale, and dropped his
hand. Quickly rallying, she Informed
him that she had seen nothing worth
repeating, and left his side. But the
same night, before leaving, she i'm
plored Lady Blessington to distrust her
guest. saying: He will commit muir

These three men were Charles Dick
ems, who in 1864, returning from
abroad, was in the horrible railway
accident of Starlehurst, and escaped
unhurt; the manuscript of "Our Mu-
tual Fricnd,'' his offspring, inclosed
small handbag, was found upon the
track amid the debris and returned to
to the author. The second man was
Prince Louis Napoleon. No common
tary is needed. The third was Charles
Wainwright, then a most promising
painter, who aftcrWard murdered his
wife with the most revolving cruelty.
He was condemned to death, but the
Queen committed his sentence to trans
portation for life.

How Some Women Began Life.

Clara Morris mother, writes Celia
Logan, was cook in a restaurant in
Cleveland when Clara was lanky girl
OF fifteen years of age. Manager John
Elisler advertised for some extra girls
for the ballet in a pantomi1ne he was
getting up. Clara applied for place
i'll the extra ballet. She wore an old
faded calico dress, much too short for
her long legs, a thin shawl, and a rag
ged WOODEN scarf wrapped around her
head. When the extra girls were no
longer required Clara was retained for
small parts. That was the beginning
of the career of the great emotional
actress, Clara Morris, who, by the way,
is of English, not American birth.

Hamilton as a housemaid. Miss Brad
don, the well-Ahown novelist, was a
utility actress in the English provinces,
performing principally in pantomime.
Christine Nilsson was poor Swedish
peasant, and ran barefoot in childhood.
Jenny Lind, also Swede, was the
daughter of a principal of a young ladies'
boarding school, and beyond rather
narrow circumstances had no special
difficulties in order to gain celebrity.
The mother of Clara Louise Kellogg
strained every nerve to give Clara a
musical education. and at one time was
a professional spiritual medium. Miss
Kellogg failed three times. Each time
she retired, not discouraged, but to de-
vote herself to the still further develop
ment of her voice. Finally she took
the public by storm. Her first failures
were her last.
Mrs. Laugtry is the daughter of a

Mrs Jay Gonld,

The wife of the great railroad
magnate is gentle, affable, courteous,
retiring. She would not be called a
handsome woman, yet her face is far
more attractive than many a beauty.
She is we'll educated, and possesses an
air of refinement. She convinces all
who come within the sphere of her in
t1uence that through her retiring
nature she has deprived society of an
important ornament. Her inclinations
have made her devotee to her
family; there is her enjoyment, and she
cares little for the pleasures that do not
in some way tend to bring the entire
family together. She is the confidant
and cons tant companion of her daush-
ter Nellie and passes several hours
each day with the three young boys,
Edward, Frank, and Harold. She
participates in their pleasures and is
never so happy as when planning some
surprise for them. Her son George a
young man of "a, connected with his
father in business, is q source of great
