PRINCE AND YANKEE.
A Good Story Told by a Young Man
From Connecticut.

When the Queen is at Windsor visitors
are permitted to visit certain portions of
Buckingham Palace, but Marlborough
House, the home of the Prince Of Wales,
is never open to the public, and both
places are 70 carefully garded that n is
not often paid for lettering about. One
young and ventursome American from
Connecticut was standing in front of
Buckingham Palace on the evening of the
recent state concert. He walked to
within a few yards of the palace gate, and
there met a sinewy young fellow with
bright eyes, broad shoulders, and a keen
air, who was swinging along lelsurely,
zane in hand. His shoes were dust
covered, and he had: the general appear

dozen miles.

By this time the pair had reached the
gate. The relocated foot guard saluted

small gate.

"She is my grandmother, and I am

Here a half dozen funkies appeared,
and after much bowling and spine curving
the tall young man was ushered in and
the Yankee was informed that only hold
ers of tickets to the State concert were
admitted to the place that night.
Come on the next visiting day." said
the Prince, and turning to one of the
funkies he said: "Be sure and give the
gentleman every facility when he calls
again. The Americans are curious in
more ways than one"

WILLING TO ADD A LAYER OF
WIFI SKEY.

In a Monroe avenue saloon yesterday
a citizen who was out on a tear demanded
that everybody in the place come up and
drink with him. There were seven men
in there, and six came promptly to the
bar in response to the call. The seventh
was an old bum who was half asleep, and
the man with the red paint slapped him
on the shoulder and yelled:
"Do you intend to insult me2"
"Naw."
"Then come up and drink with me-"
"Don't want any"
But you've got to drink or fight.
Which is it2'
"I-guess I'll drink; but I've got a
headache, and don't want it."
mo matter about that-get up here!'
There were six glasses of beer on the
counter waiting to cause untold misery,
and as the old bum got up he reached for
the first and gulped it down, and then
slid along down the bar and emptied every
glass in rotation without hardly stopping
to breathe. When he had finished the
last he turned to the citizen, he said:
II don't feel well, but if you insist on
it I'll take about four fingers Of whiskey!''

from early marriages and the reasonable

like an old drain will be absorbed by the
