N had struck him that olstinctionSs sucn y
everywhere you find,
Of wealth and rank are most unfair, - well -
most unkind.
: So be said to his Prime Minister, ''This shall
no longer be;
For why nv friends and brothers should 60
bowling down to me,
When 1 am no whit better, I really cannot
see!"
The worthy old Prime Minister was infinitely
shocked;
His head he shook astutely, and his eyes he
wisely cooked,
LIZ he said with deepest reverence, "My lord
has surely Knocked!
:rHereditary wisdom, hereditary truth"
Hereditary chopsticks!' the Emperor cried,
sGood sooth
As sensibly might you adore hereditary youth!
This thing shall have trial; you will writes
my friend, straightway,
Nv imperial proclamation, that from this very
day
Rank and riches shall be equal" With ges-
ture of dismay
The Minister besought him, ''My lord, crave
one boon;
I will write the proclamation; can have it
done by noon.
But beg you to defer it; not to try it quite SO
soon.
Not until we make this trial: take six men
who equal be
As to rank and age and learning, and convey
them over sea,
To an island uninhabited, and leave them
there quite free;
Sand in three years return there, and if you
find them SO,
Precisely as We left them, that day three
years ago,
As to wealth and rank and pows r, let the world
your edict know!"
The Emperor assented, second thoughts are
always best,
And the vision of himself discrowned, un-
ranked and dispossessed
Of all imperial privilege, was rather fiat, at
best.
Six mandarins were chosen, as equal as could
be,
Shipped to the distant island and left entirely
free.
How they Jared, the three years over, the EN-
peror went to see.
He Was met by procession; in gaudy litter
sat
One of the six, distinguished by button on
his hat;
He was carried by four bearers and a herald
shouted that
He was Ruler of the island. Said the Emper-
or, "What is this?
How, ask, has my arrangement gone SO ut
terly amiss?
There is something hidden from me; must
fathom it wis ~
Twas a simple explanation, for the Ruler made
it plain;
He had worked and planned SO wisely for
himself, the rest were fain
To intrust him with their business, and to make
the greater gain.
Then he gave each one title, Agent, Umpire,
Lawyer, Judge,
Waterman; these were their appointments,
and they found they dared not bulge
Without his royal edict; and they did not seem
to grudge
This assumption Of authority; it saved them
from much care,
The first was the Prime Minister; the rest
agreed to share
Che life of simple subjects and the royal
throne to bear.
That was all; the Emperor listened silently and
thoughtfully;
Then he said to his Prime Minister, 'Since
rank, it seems, must be,
I suppose the rank stand in may as well be-
long to me
"As to another: Seasons must be equal in their
cold
And heat; all rivers equal in length; the noun
tains old
OF equal height, ere all men are equal as to
gold,
"And rank and power. Return we to our en-
pire leaving these
To play at king and subject, since the playing
seems to please!
I, too, will play my part out, though perhaps
with less of easel"

NEW YORK, March 2.At the office of the
A. B. Cleveland Seed company, - Cortlandt
street, this morning the attaches were in
stIucted 10 say nothing regarding the ru-
nared defalcation Of Artie b. Cleveland.
They obeyed the instructions faithfully, and
very few facts could be CLEANED.
The manager of rival concern said the
Cleveland company was doing fair busi-
nesS, but at very low prices and at consider
able cost for travellers, etc. He said it was
an open secret among the seed men fully four
weeks ago that Cleveland had overlrawn
reptitlous ways and left town. The last he
had heard of hinpwas by receiving tele-
gram from him dated in town out west
about three weeks ago.
The officers of the Cleveland company are
going over all the books of the concern. The
company is Limited stock company. con
sequently those interested are legally respon-
sible for only the amount of the capital stock
Nothing definite can be learned as to
whether Cleveland has met with any losses in
speculation. No one is positive that he ever
speculated. 1t was rumored that he dealt in
Wall street through II. l. Horton a. Co.
That firm say they don't know Mr. Cleve-
land and never heard OF him. Taken alto
gether, it i a very mysterious case, and those
who know all about it are determined, at
present at least to do nothing to help clear
up the mystery
Mr. Cleveland was president of the firm,
which has branches at Cape Vincent, n. y. !;

cation Is supposed TO amount to Sl50000 or

BRIDE BROOKS ROMANCE.

A Ceremony That Gave to . Connecticut
Stream It's Pleasant Name.
It is not generally known that the
settlement of New London was COM
menced under the authority of Massa-
chusetts. John Winthrop, its founder.
bore commission from the Govern
ment of that colony. 1t was first
called 1.-The Plantation of Nameaug,"
and its bounds extended on the west
to a small stream two miles west of
Niantick, now Mantle Bay, which was
called by the Indians Sunkipaug. It
issues from pond of the same name
and falls into the Sound between Black
Point and Giants Neck.
During the first winter after the set
Element, the winter of 1916, at time
when the whole country was covered
with a deep snow, the incident that
caused the naming this stream and
lake Bride Brook and Lake occurred.
Application was made to Mr.. Win
throp to go to Saybrook and unite a
young couple in marriage, there being
in that place no person duly author
lied to officiate on such an occasion;
but he had been commissioned in
Massachusetts, and could not legally
fasten the nuptial knot in Saybrook.
which was under the jurisdiction OF
Connecticut. He proposed, therefore,
to meet them half way on the brink OF
the little stream that was his western
boundary. The proposition was &C
cepted. and there Winthrop, accompa-
MED by party from his plantation.
met the bridal train from Saybrook.
and the rite was performed In con-
clusion Winthrop gave the name of
Bride Brook to the stream. by which
it has ever since been known The
pond is also called Bride Lake.
The annals of history can furnish
but few incidents more striking than
the Bride Brook marriage All the
accessories of the scene are picturesque
and impressive. The little company
stood in the midst of dreary waste
of snow, far from any human habita-
ton at this time excepting the huts Of
savages. Ancient forests and immense
solitudes were around them. beyond
which in shadowy magnifcence, vast
and indefinite, lay the unexplored
world. ON whose brink they stood.
We might perchance add to these
features the stalwart forms of natives,
tribe of whom dwelt not far from the
place. darling among the trees or

The Beni-lsrael Of India.

Among the many scattered remnants
of nations in India there are few more
interesting than the Beni-Israel of the
Bombay side. The Beni-Israel do not
belong to the lost tribes. nor have they
any mysterious connection with the
Great Pyramid. Their own legends
aver that centuries ago their forefa-
theirs. flying by sea from a country in
the north, were shipwrecked near Ken
cry island. and the survivors, seven
families, took refuge at Navgoan,
homeless. .penniless, among strangers,
and without the books of their law.
The date of this hegirs is estimated
from sixteen hundred to two thousand
years ago. Since that date the little
colony of fourteen souls has grown into
a dispersed community of ten thousand

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Hot-Headed Young Man Changed to q
MoraIist and Disciplinarian.

Hot-Headed Young Man Changed to .
Moralist and Disciplinarian.
The industry and mental activity of
Emperor William are regarded by
some as abnormal. Probably no ono
would entertain such an impression
were it not for the hereditary faint of
insanity which has showed itself at
times in the family. But if this idea
can be put aside he presents by this
time a promising claim to be added to
the list of historical characters of
whom Henry V. of England stands as
type.
The sense of responsibility has
changed the Emperor from a hot
headed young man of loose habits to
not only a cautious, Woodworking
monarch. but apparently to stern
moralist, as those who were once his
Falstaff and his Poins have had occa-
sion to find out. There is reason to
say of him as Carlyle said of his pre-
decessor, the great Frederick: Favor,
friendly intimacy, it is visible from the
first, avails nothing with this young
King; beyond and before all things
he will have his work done, and looks
out exclusively for the men ablest to
do it." Events may change this view,
but so far it holds good.
The Emperor is a strict disciplinarian
everywhere, even subjecting his own
children to course of training SO
rigid as to call for a protest
from the tender-hearted. His early
ride, not long ago, to surprise mill
tary post, indicates the kind of surveil-
lance he exercises over the army.
Recognizing the Importance of diplo-
macy at the present juncture of Euro
oean affairs: his first care is to estab-
lish personal acquaintanceship in for
eign courts and at the Vatican. In the
delicate international relations which
prevail he has, contrary to expectar
| tlons. avoided mistakes. -
There are. harsh and unpleasant,
perhaps unfilial, sides to his character,
| but it must be conceded that the young
man has compelled, by his careful at
| tentlon to business and freedom from
rashness, reversal of the judgment
formerly passed on him and has excited
a respectful interest in his career.-N.
Y. World.

AN INFANT LION.

A Little Creature That Looks More Like
Big Cat Than Any Thing Else.
At the time the visit was made the
liouess was pacing restlessly up and
down and the cub was not to be seen.
The mother stopped in her walk and
glared for a moment at the visitors,
and then, going into back corner of
the cage. began to poke her muzzle at
something in the straw. She soon
brought out what at first seemed to be
a ball of light tawny wool, which I'M
curled itself and sat up to take look
at the strangers It was about the
size of a good big tom-cat, and had
stripes of black on it's legs and sides
like those of tiger. These stripes
disappear when the cub is a few weeks
old, and the light coat of hair is sue
ceeded by crop of darker hue. Hav-
ing produced her offspring for exhibi-
ton, the lioness lay down by it's side
and began licking it as a cat does a
kitten. She looked as mild as milk,
and apparently was paying no further
attention to her callers, but she
was on the alert, for when Mr.

a motion as though he would punch
the cub she was ready to defend her
baby. Quick as a flash of lightning
she sprang at the bars, eyes cleaning
and mouth open, snarling like an angry
cat, and with her right paw she made
stroke at the broom which would
have broken mans skull had the
velvety looking paw fallen on his
head.
The visitors made a lightning calcu-
lation on the strength of the cage
bars, and the advisability of seeking
refuge in the muddy pool at the other
side of the building, where the hippo
potami were enjoying themselves. The
momentary flash of anger was over,
however, in less time than it takes to
tell of it, and the ioness was back by
the side of her baby, fondling it and
purring softly like gigantic cat with
it's kitten. There were two cubs born,
but one of them was sickly and only
lived few days. The surviving one
is strong and healthy, and at present
looks more like a big cat than any
thing else. (Cal. Independ-
