What HIS Mother Would Do If She Were
Short or Money.
A country schoolmistress had much
trouble with her pupils and to avoid 1t
made her examples placed before them
IF an explanatory character or illus
trative. The effect was often unexpect-
I'd. In going over their usual reading
lesson line was chosen by the lady
upon which to test the merits of the
scholars. The line read: "And he was
I man of unlimited credit in business"
'Now, John, can you tell me what is
meant by the word credit when used as
1 this lcsson?'
Thus she addressed one of the Stun
blins-blocks of the school,
Il dunno, marm," said Johnny. look

"You don't know" laid the mistress.
"Well, look here. Suppose your mother
was to come short Of money at the latter
part OF the week and needed provisions.
etc.. now what would she do?"
She was satisfied that her illustration
was plain and awaited the correct reply
and it camo thus:

AZ sat In the shady porch to-day.
Half dreaming and half avnke
Watcning tfs merry snnbeams play,
And the v.nes and blossoms shake
From the leasy depths OF an apple.treo
The sounds Of distress were heard.
And, leaving my dreams, went 70 see
What disturbed the mother-bird.
Who had built her nest with dainty cara.
When the boughs were pink and white,
with fragrant blooms that filed the air
And hid the nest from sight
saw, as looked. the rnother-bird
Fly here and there in her grief
And guessed the cause, from the twitterian
heard,
Ana fa1n would have brought relief
For ner sorrow was one l. too, had known;
It's pain yet lay in my breast
NY nedg1 1ngs had gathered their strength
and flown
From out Their snug warm nest
For one had gone TO far South-lands,
And one gone forth to the West
And one with folded pallii hands,
On the hillside lay at rest
Oh mother bird, 1t Is hard to bear:
your palntive cries have confessed;
Ano moan with you as you beat the air
About your deserted nest.

AN American who recently saw tho
King and Queen Of Portugal says: ssThe
King is f1ne-looking young man, about
thirty years Of age. decidedly blonde, of
medium height, we'll built and with a
graceful carriage. The Queen, who is a
daughter Of the Comte de Paris, is con-
sidered beautiful, but if she were not a
Queen would probably be called simply
very pretty woman"
The little King of Spain's first de-
mand when he began to got we'll was
that he should be taken Ito see the
lame beggar,' cripple for whom he
mas formed great attachment, and who
Is allowed to come to the side Of the car
rlage and hold long conversations with the
young monarch, when ho is out for an
airing. The King is very self-willed as
ne grows older, and will only yield to
his mother when she tells him sho Is
going to her room to cry. That always
wins him over.
EMPEROR FREDERIcK's death probably
destroys the Duke Of Cumberland's last
hope of recovering the large private
fortune Of which he was practically
robbed by the German Government. Old
Emperor William wanted to restore it
TO MIN out Prince Bismarck overruled
his desire. Emperor Frederick was de-
termlned that he should have it, and
mad his life been spared would doubtless
have carried out his design In spite of
the Chancellor. But now the Dukes
righteous claim Is not worth cent on
the thousand dollars.
1T is curious fact that King Hum
bert, OF Italy. is nearer to tho throne of
the United Kingdom, if tho divine right
OF blood be recognized, than Queen VIC
toria. Her majesty's title is derived
from the beautiful daughter of James l.,
Elizabeth OF Bohemia, whose daughter
became the mother OF George L., while
tho Italian sovereign's comes from
James son. Charles l., whose daughter,
Henrietta Maria, married into the House
OF Savoy. Thus he has one generation
more OF English blood in his veins than
his royal cousin of England.

large copper warehouse. A number of
fancy goods stores, and the Gulcher Elec-

were also complete prey to the flames
The flames spread rapidly on ell sides as If
there were no tiremen or fire engines pres-
ent.
CrOWQs or people are gathered on the
bridges over the Thames and in the streets
running down to the river, where a good
view of the confagration could be had.
Many expressed the belief that this disas
ter would at last bring about reform in
the London Fire Brigade. As the fire pro.
gressed it spread to the headquarters of the
Salvation Army. The Salvationists are
working like beavers in tHeir efforts to
place the records and other property of the
army in place of safety.
All the buildings from the corner of

smoldering ruins.
The fire originated in the building of G.

This building, large structure, is COM

has also caught fire.

VICTORIA NOTES.
Wheelan Held to Answer For the Killing
Of

Wheelan Held to Answer For the Killing
VICTORIA (B. c., Decem Der 3Oth.-The
steamer Emma was towed off the rock in
the harbor to-day, and will at once be
hauled out for repairs.
The steamer Badger. supposed to be
hopelessly wrecked on Jones Island,
steamed into the harbor to-day. At the
Underwriters sale the wreck was bought by
her owner for $3.50. He proceeded to Jones
Island, filled up the hole in the hull with
cement. and then foated the vessel. He
got up steam and came to Victoria, where
he will have the steamer repaired.
At the police inquiry to-day into the
death of Daniel F. Fee, the Attorney Gen.
eral prosecuting the prisoner, Wheelan was
committed for trial on a charge of willful
murder, and witness Lulu was arrested and
held as accessory before the court. He will
be examined tomorrow. Wheelan de-
cllned to make statement.
A party of Indians arrived from the
west coast to-day by canoe and reported
the shooner Dare, Captain Perry, ashore
near Bonilla Point. The crew are all safe
on land, but in destitute condition, and in
urgent need of assistance. The Dare left
Tacoma couple of weeks ago with lumber
for coast ports, and ran upon the rocks dur
ing the recent gales. She is total loss.
