were ''Her Bright Future" and IA Lucky

which show close sympathy with nature
in its wild aud lonely haunts. The poem
which she regards as her best production is
sweet and perfectly simple little song en-
titled 'Goldenrod;'' and the fact that she
should choose this plain, pretty little thing

BANKRUPT PRINCES AND BAR0NS,
Ono Who Smoked IS Cigars and Lost
$450,000 in One Night at Cards.

Bankruptcy appears to be becom
ing fashionable among the great
princes of Germany. Within the last
two months Prince Albert Of tkt
sovereign house of Waldeck, Prince
Charles of the reigning family Of
Liechtenstein and Prince Traut'
mannsdorf have all three been de.
clared insolvent debtors and placed
sumter curatelle," and now Prince
Frederick " of Salmi-K yrburg has
been subjected to a similar ignomy
Forty-four years of age and the
possessor of numerous titles, in
Guiding that of Rhinegraye and
of a Spanish Grandee of the first
class, his debts at present amount
to about 100000. During the
course of the legal proceedings 1t
was shown that until his fathers
death he had been forced to content
himself with a paltry allowance Of
$1,000 per annum, which, though
possibly sufficient for the wants of
an ordinary mortal, was far from
adequate for a high and mighty
Prince who refuses to smoke any,
thing but Havana cigars at So a
piece. Under the circumstance it
is not surprising that it should have
been tobacco merchant who first
instituted the steps that finally
landed his Highness in the Bank
ruptcy Court and resulted in his
being placed "unter curatelle." This
"unter curatelle" condition is one
that is exceedingly unpleasant. 1t
is equivalent to declaration Of per-
petual minority, and the person on
whom it is imposed is not only de-
clared incapable Of managing his
own affairs, but is practically out
lawed and deprived of the electoral
franchise and almost every right of
citizenship. No civil contract en-
tered into by him is valid. His
signature is of no account in point
of law, and from the legal point of
view he is nobody-as unsubstan-
tial as the family ghost and as
irresponsible as the babe unborn.
Prince Trsutmannsdorf was the
President of the Austrian Jockey
Club, where he lost in a single nigI t
$3.50, 900 at cards. With a view of
retrieving his fortunes he straight
way purchased for a rise a large
number of options on wheat and
other cereals, which, however, great
~ to his dismay, took downward
instead of an upward course, rem
dering him thereby liable for differ
cnces to the tune of 100000.
Another well-known parsonage,
who is ct present ''unter curatelle,"
and whose name is well known in
the United States, is Baron Victor
Erlanger, once magnate of Euro
pean finance but now an exile re-
siding on the shores of Lake Geneva
in Switzerland. Only last week
suit was brought against the trus-
tees of his bankruptcy, in the course
of which the whole circumstances
of his ruin were again made public.

Flooring a Magistrate.

An amusing scene was recently
enacted in a courtroom in a small
country town. The magistrate, a
high, pompus official, with a voice
like trombone, took it upon him
self to examine witness-a little,
withered old man, whose face was
as red and wrinkled as smoked
herring.
"What is your name?" asked the
justice.
why, squire said the aston
ished witness, you know my name
as well as | know yourn."
Never you mind what l know,
or what | don't know" was the
caution given with magisterial Sc
verify. II ask the question in my
official capacity, and you're bound
to answer it under oath"
With contemptuous snort, the
witness gave his name, and the ques-
tioning proceeded.
"Where do you live?"
swell, l declare !" calculated the
old man. why" he continued,
appealing to the laughing listeners,
"Ive lived in this town all my life,
and SOS he" pointing to the justice,
AN to hear him go on, you'd
think"
"Silence y Numbered the irate
magistrate. ANSWER my question
or I'll fine you for contempt of
court"
Alarmed by the threat, the wit
ness named his place of residence,
and the examination went on.
What is your occupation?"
"Huh %
what do you do for living?"
"Oh, get out, squire. Just as if
you don't know that l tend gardens
in the summer season an sell coal
in winters %
"As a private citizen do know
it, but as the court l know nothing
about you," exclaimed the perspir.
lng justice.
well, squire remarked the
puzzled witness, "ifyou know some,
thin outside the courtroom an
don't know nothin' in it, you'd bet
ter get out an let somebody try
this case that's got some sense"
The advice may have been we'll
meant, bat it cost the witness fif.
