us that fact?' and the old lady let
her fan drop in establishment.
YES, ma'am, the crowned heads, the
aristocracy, you Understand. They all
ev'ry performance"
.'You don't say so?' inquired the old
lady.
ooh, fact, fact, ev'ry word of it. One
oday the Prince of Wales got on pony
an tried to rope one of the steers. You
see the king of Greece was tryin' to
ride, too, but he had got a hucker, an
was throwed, and the Prince of Wales
boss fell over him, an bout this
time the Crown Prince Rudolph of
Austria fell in from somewhere an got
mixed up with it, an the crown prince
OF Norway and Sweden that was tryin'
to ride bufferlo likewise got thrown i'll
the pile, as we'll as several others, with
the Austrian ambassador, Gen. Viscount
Wolsely, an 81. r. 81. Prince Albert
Victor comm, each a-ridin' elk on the
rum"
p ssDear SUPP said the old lady,.
II seen how things was standin' an
rode up an tried to throw my lariat an
catch the Prince of Wales boss, but
something kinder slipped somehow an
I got the hereditary prince of SAKE
Meiningen by the foot am my boss run
away bout that time an round the
grounds 1 went, the hereditary prince
a-fyin' out behind at the end of the
rope. My boss run round one of the
emigrant wagons in which the grand
duke and duchess of Serg, the king of
SayOpu tho orobinnocc of Ofhiop am
duchess of Sutherland am party was
takin' ride. an this pulled the
ered'tary prince of Meiningen
right through the top of the wagon, an
pretty near yanked his foot off. | don't
suppose any hereditary prince ever had
such rough time of it before.
''Things was gettin' pretty middlin'
uncertain all round, Specially as the
marquis of Lorne, the Grand Duke
Michael of Russia, the French ambassa
dor, an the king of the Belgians had
begun shootin' at glass balls an was
pluggin' shot round into everybody.
AN all this time my boss was a.
buckin' an the hereditary prince of
SAKE Meiningen was a-fying high;
ITO complicate matters, II. r. FL.
Prince George, an the countesse de
Paris, the duke of Sparta, an duchess
of Abercorn, Lord Sandhurst, an the
princess of Wales, an the Viscount
Massereene, an Ferrand, an countess
of Beehive, begun dancin' the Virginia
reel on boss back, right in the thickest
of it.''
'My!" said the old lady.
cam still the hereditary prince of
Sake Meiningen was fOllerein' the UNI
certain motions of buckin' boss.
Il don't hardly know what
would O. become of any of us if
jess then Queen Victoria with a
red an yaller shawl on an string of
bears claws round her neck hadn't
wood coach, her majesty a-crackin' up
the near lead mule with the whip.
They yelled to everybody to stop fore
they killed themselves, then things
kinder quieted down, an pretty soon
ev'rything was peaceful an lovely.
1.-The hered'tary prince of SaXeMein-
ingen was prob'ly the last thing to strike
the ground.
''He was somewhat shook UP, but his
highness the Prince of Wales slapped
him on the back an says: Hereditary
prince, brace up, us rancherS have
got to stand these things when
we're out west' That's what says
the hereditary prince, an he kinder
eoat-sleeve an asked for his repeatin'
rifle, cause he said he wanted to rescue
a lot of poor settlers over in log house
from the murderOuS attacks of band of
hostile savages he seen a-lurkin' on the
horizon. Yes,ma'am,w we ulster have some
big times in England, but it's tame
here, very tame-nO ariStocracy, no
royal family, no ered'tary princes, you
see. That's whatI quit for, ma'am. l
missed the association, you see. Hope
you'll enjoy what there is, ma'am."
The eX-Wild West man drifted away,
and the old lady turned to man who
had been listening and said:
mercy, what times them royalties
did have over there wonder that man
lived through it ALL"
lone thing that made it less danger
Gus for him was that he has always
lived over here in Jersey City, and was
never nearer England than he is now,"
he replied. "a man in Jersey City is
comparatively safe from the prankS of
royalty"
