A Jealous Prince.

1 saw Amadeo frightfully jealous
three years before he was called to hold
the scepter which the innocent" but
Jolly Isabella held so unsteadily, writes
Mrs. Crawford in London Truth. He
was here on his honeymoon trip with a
rather handsome bride, who having
been good deal clustered as a school
Girl IN a convent, did not ask better
than to see a little life. Her in
tentions were all right, but she visibly
enioved the attentions of another
prince, who stood on the highest step
OF Il great throne, and who had the
charm of good humor, of a constant
flow of animal spirits and of good ma
ture.
The prince laughed and she laughed,
he said something gay and in the ma
ture of an agreeable truth, and she
flung him a rose, which he said de-
served to be made the badge of an Or
der. But he did not pin it on his heart.
The duke of Aosta was present, and his
eyes. which were very black, showing
the white all around the. iris, rolled as

royal bridegroom; but he had gen.

wider experience of life and of its sor-

the most seductive of all the royalties

royal commissions to the exposition,

more ease. simple grace and quiet
dignity than any of them. and had a
nice way of making the ladies feel that
he considered them his equals.
With them he entirely thawed. The
frightful face frightened up, as he
chatted for few moments with each,
with smile of penetrating sweetness.
1t was the smile of one in whose life
there had been far more of sadness
than Joy. To begin with, he had the
low spirits which go with narrow and
delicate chest, an organic defect in
herited from his mother, Adelaide of
Tuscany, a princess who died of con-
sumption. Though one of the bravest
men that ever lived, he had a horror of
death and of the possibilities of another
world. His greatest sorrow was his
first wife's death.
As he was not when next married
the right sort of a husband for a young
princess with, to quote her aunt Ma

With Mr.. Murphy and the young
Murphys she had the carriage next to

while several local politicians, with an
eye to the main chance, also attended.

Get wiggle on, my lad,
Don't walk at funeral pace;
Don't stand lazy, mopiug, sad
Font sit with that drowsy face.
Hustle around, and do your share,
In the town, or In the bush

You will get there if you try;
Swing your shoulders, brace your knees

Don't 60 half starved, hungry, cold;

And gazed upon the twInkling stars

Without one word amiss;
And lips met lips in fond embrace;
They dreamed of nsught but bliss.

As his hand fell from her side
And rested on the swinging gate,
As it swung out far and wide;
'Sweet Ethel, dear, by every star
That lights your beauteous brow;
By every ray of heavenly light

She turned upon her heel and said
His words were to profane
That she would thank him very much
To never, never call again.
Then up the garden path she skipped,
Her face rosy tlnge,
And left him there TO suck the thumb
She had squeezed within the hinge.

MENDING A DOGS LEG
A Shoe Box Served Well for Bed
and Splints-Oddly Broken.

New York sun.
"The most curious accident that
ever happened to a dog, so far as
ever. heard" said Vice President Res
enbaum, of the Delaware Game Pro-
tec;ive association, "was the breaking
of Tire leg of my pointer, Bilboa. /
and friend went out to shoot quail,
and started in to beat a wheat field,
after putting out the horse aud
buggy In a barnyard. There was a
pretty stiff wind from the north,
ond Bilboa was running square
across it at the top of bis
speed, when all at once he struck the
scent of a covey about ten yards away
up wind. The instsnt he struck the
scent he whirled toward the game,
and then over he rolled on bis side.
He got up and tried to run but fell
again. supposed he was in fit, but
when 1 got to him / found he had
somehow broken his right foreleg near
the shoulder as he whirled to the left.
Il was so much excited that /
dropped my gun in the grass and had
an awful time finding it again, but !
got the dog into the buggy anu back
to town. The doctor said I'd better
kill the dog, but / couldn't do that.
After talk on the subject, We fixed
up bed, that some reader of the Sun
may be glad to make for a dog some
time. We took a shoe box and cut
four holes through the bottom of it in
just the places, so that when we put
the dog in it his legs would hang
down through the holes. We padded
the holes with rags and
the body Of the box with clean
straw, and then when we had
put the dog in the box, we hung it up
so that bis legs dangled in the air.
The position of the dog was such that
the broken leg was held immovable
in about the right place. There We
kept him for six weeks That saved
the dog, but his leg was a little
crooked, because we were not skillful
enough to get the hole in the precise
place needed. He served me well
for several years thereafter, and then
some scoundrel poisoned him."

HIS MEMORY DECEIVED HIM.


A man who was accused of theft
set up a plea of insanity, hoping
thereby to elude punishment. Por.
fessor Mendel, of Berlin, was deputed
to examine the prisoner and report
the state of his mind. He found the
msn lying in bed. To all the ques
tions that he put, such as how old be
was, where he lived, what he YVES
called, the patient invariably replied:
II don't know"
Then Professor NJ took six.
pence out of his purse and asked
again how much it was.
81 don't know" was the answer, as
before.
The doctor then asked for the pris-
oner's purse out Of which he took a
shilling, and once more the man de.
clared be didn't know its value; there
upon Professor M-put the sixpense
into the prisoners purse while trans.
ferring the shilling to his own. Here
the patient interfered saying:
"Wby, doctor, you've made mis-.
take"

A leading society paper has al
length settled the question of street
etiquette. 1t says: "The privilege
of recognition lies with the lady.
When the lady has made her solutions,
the gentleman responds by lifting bis
hat"
If he has no hat be can 60 into q
neighboring hotel where the guests
are dining and lift one from the rack,
IF one or two gentlemen in com.
pany be known and saluted by lady,
both should bow.
The Siamese twins probably intro.
duced this rule while exhibiting
through the country.
Never stop lady on the street. II
you desire to converse with her, turn
and join her in walking.
I Yet, if you are detective, under
the painful necessity of arresting her,
you are Justified in stopping her ON
the street.
Give your right arm to a lady.
If you have lost one arm, the other
is the left of course, no matter on
which side it may be located.
A gentleman between two ladies
has an awkward look.
So he has, particularly to some poor
lone female who hasn't any escort. -

The path of the storm was nearly a
