in vogue. The black silk with the very
heavy cord, and which glistens as if il

place there is a soft, lusterless black

EMPRESS AND MOTHER.

In Spite Of Royal Pageants She Found
Time to Play with Her Children.

gone, no one speaks of them with
greater affection than the donkey boy
"Joe," who, every afternoon, proudly
ran behind his three feetest donkeys,

begged that his donkey should be a
"kicker," and it was pretty sight to
see the dear little fellows galloping

of birthday cake, which they insisted
on his taking: TOO rich for me-

a little bit of it." Another day when
riding the crown prince, trying to urge
his donkey to a faster gallop, caught
Joe" good hit across his forehead.
He was so distressed at having hurt
him that he was reduced to tears, and
it was some time before he could be
comforted, repeatedly begging Joe to
forgive him. They wanted him to go
back to Germany with them, but this
Joe refused to do, and if you ask him
the reason he says he does not like
"going so far from home"
The little fellows bathed whenever
it was fine and swan we'll. One could
not help feeling of establishment to
see the way they were allowed to
without any ropes and no one
in the water with them. One day, as
the donkey boy was leaning against

him away. At that moment the en-
press happened to come up, an1 MOTTO

to the policeman in her pretty Eng.

At another time Joe was on the beach,
and to his surprise the empress went
up and shook hands with him. He
says: 'I never felt so ashamed in my
life! Why, before eoery one-and there
must have been over two hundred peo-
pie there. l didn't know which way to
look!" 1t was pretty to see the en-
press sitting on the beach surrounded
by her five boys. They seem devoted
to their mother, and were constantly
running up to her, putting their arms
around her neck. Chicago Tribune.

ing Trinidad we struck steep grade,
which extended for ten miles.
This is pretty high grade" l re-
marked to the conductor, who was a
pleasant appearing young man of some
twenty-three years of age.
i Yes" he replied, land it is one of
the longest on the line. 1t is to this
grade that owe my present position
on the road.
Tell me about it,, cried, eagerly.
"Was there an accident?"
"Well, not much of an accident, but
there might have been had good luck
not favored me.
1T was five years ago. l had come
from the east to seek my fortune in
Colorado. After spending nearly two
years in prospecting in different parts
of the state, I resolved to go to Los
Vegas, New Mexico, and try to get a
position on the railroad, as l always
had a liking for that sort of work.
"Well. only got as far as Trinidad,
when found myself without a dollar
in the world, and of course l had to
stop over and see if l could not get
something to do.
II went to the San ia Fe railroad sta
ton and applied for work, but failed to
get any encouragement Then l went
to the different trainmen and made dill
igent inquiries, but none of them knew
of any job that was open.
"A conductor, who w as then running
local freight on this line, promised to
me position as brakeman if | would
remain in Trinidad two weeks.
His head brakeman was going to
quit then, he informed me, and could
have his place if chose to remain
there till the vacancy occurred; but two
days later he was removed to another
division of the road, and l was left
without any prospect of employment in
Trinidad.
Il then resolved to go to Los Vegas
at once, but, having no money to pay
my fare, was at loss to know what
to do.
AT last, however I decided to go to
the railroad station and endeavor tC
get some of the brakemen on the
freights to let me ride.
when l arrived at the station,
found that a long freight train had
just pulled up and was standing on the
side track to wait the coming of the
eastern bound express.
II first approached the conductor
and, explaining my condition, asked
him to carry me over his division, but
he dismissed me with the curt reply
that his train was freight train anC
he was forbidden to carry passengers
discouraged but not despairing,
went to the head brakeman and sough,
to induce him to allow me to ride or
one of the box cars.
Got any money! he asked.
mot cent replied, but
You'll have to walk then he said
and passed on.
Il tried the other brakeman with
like result; then began to feel pretty
blue. l walked up the track along the
side of the train, wishing that hac
never seen the state of Colorado.
'Presently l stopped to admire a
new locomotive that was in the trair
near its center. 1t was a beautiful
