sIoggeo his majesty. The first movement
of Charles was to try to Kill him, but for
tunatelY his gun was unloaded- Then his
second and more successful effort was to
save the man from the fury Of his attend
ants and to send him off to prison, with the
recommendation TO prepare for death, re-
marking also that his cfense was all the
more atrocous because he could not say
that he really did not lie, inasmuch as it
was doubtful who shot the bird
II have no doubt about 1t, sire" replied
the prisoner. Permit me to examine the
Bird
The king ordered the partridge to be
brought to him, and after having exam
ined it the guard affirmed that it was he
who shot it, because it was hit by bullet,
and he had used bullets all day long, while
the king used shot. A further examina-
ton Of the dead partridge by the king and
his attendants proved that the gamekeeper
was correct.
The king was sorry, but he nevertheless
sent the prisoner to Madrid, where he was
placed in the cell-of offenders condemned
TO death AT the last moment the king
promised him pardon If he would repent,
but the guard refused Charles ordered
the eatekeeper to be brought into his pres
ence and again asked him if he repented.
'Sire,'' replied the guard, eff l had a
thousand lives. and your majesty should
tell me Thousand times, without reason,
that l lied, thousand times l would
punch your majesty in the nose, and a
thousand times would go quietly to exc
cutionP'
And you would thus be loss to my
reignp' exclaimed the king. Would that
were surrounded by men Like you'll l not
only pardon you, but 1 attach you to my
person, and make you Count of Punon-

upon the new count, and until his death

a Pretty Fancy.

It is favorite fancy at present to have
everything to match on writing table,
such as the various sized photo frames,
blotting book, case for loose notes or
photos, envelope case, and box without
lid for throwing in unanswered notes, ETC.
A delicate shade of pistache green broca-
telle is popular. All sorts of cardboard, or
even wooden and cigar boxes can be cover
ed with plush or brocads by sHllfal fingers.
The top is usually raised by little ja-
dicious padding. then covered with the
brocade or plush, and edged all round with
an old looking gold fancy braid The lin
ing is of wstered silk or Surah, and this
has to be done in separate pieces q g., top,
bottom and the four Sides, neatly stretched
and glued over thin cardboard, and then
carefully glued to the box. In some of the
effective brocades now being sold, in white
or pale oolors, the effect is beautiful.

Once more Jack Prince has demonstrated
h1s right to championship wheeling honors.
Reoert7N at Omaha, Meb., he defeated Ned
Reading, tho phenomenal soldier rider, in
brUfs3nx race of six days, riding eight
hours dsy, for the championship of the
work. La defeating Reading he won what
was undoubtedly the greatest contest that
has ever taken place In the history of cy-
cling. The scene at the finish was a very
exciting one, and the enthusiasm of the
crowd was at fever heat. Up to the last
lap Reading was in the lead, but in the
stretch he was unable to stand the pace
and Prince CROSSED the line first, amid the
widest excitement, winner of the worlds
championship by half a wheel. The total
distance covered was 716 miles and laps.
Immediately after the race Prince an
nounced his desire to meet any man in the
world for forty-eight hour race at 81, 00e
a side, the winner to receive all.
John Shillington Prince, the worlds
champion long distance bicycle racer, was
born at Birmingham, England, and is 81
years of age. He commenced riding at II,
and two years later entered the profession
al races. His greatest achievements prior
to coming to America was the defeat Of
Jack Kean and Fred Cooper, of Sheffield,
the champions of England The race at
that time was for one mile, and the best
time was 1852, which at that date was the
best record for mile race. In 1880 he
came to America to race against Woodside,
the champion of Ireland, and Decivy. the
champion of France He defeated both
on all distances from one to twenty miles,
and at that time he made the best
records TO that date. He is the only
one who ever defeated Harry Higham, of
England, who held the champion seventy
two hour record for seven consecutive
years in England. His most notable Amer
lean race was in 1887, at Minneapolis,
Mimi, when he ran against Albert Shock
The race was twelve hours a day for six
days, and the number of miles covered was

Charles Francis Adams was visited in his

it. Turning to the railway president, he

For Bright PeonIe.

A correspondent calls our attention to
the following item which appeared in the
papers in 1868, and which we reproduce as
originally given.
DIFFICULT RIDDLE.
This enigma has been frequently pub
lished but never solved:
l sit stern on the rock while I'm raising the wind,
But the storm once abated I'm gentle and kind.
Kings sit at my feet who wait at my nod
To lrneel in the dust on the ground have trod.
I'm seen by the world and known but by few,
The Gentle deteStS me-I'm pork to the Jew.
My weight is three pounds, my length is mile,
And when once discovered you'll say with a smile
That the first and the last are the pride of isle
The answer is a word of one syllable.
No answer, so far as we know, has ever
been returned to this riddle. 1t is probably
an English puzzle, and it may be local or
it may be hoax. Can any one furnish a
solution? We do not know who wrote it,
nor where it first appeared, but it was fire.

A Cozy Chair.

Some Of the most convenient as well as
comfortable easy chairs made are those Of
wicker or basket work. They are conven-
lent because of their comparative lightness
and the consequent ease with which they
can be moved about; and comfortable be-
cause of their pllabihty and cushion lined
seats and backs Although wicker chairs
are especially desirable for summer use,
they are at the same time good all seasons
