A Russian Dukes Romance.

The ear of Russia's second brother,
the Grand Duke Alexis, nov nearing
his 10th year, is not married and
will probably go unmarried to his
grave. Few persons recollcct or real
lie the conjugat tragedy that marked
the early years of this intelligent and
handsome prince. He fell in love,
long years ago, with a young lady at
tached to the household of his mother,
and, like an honorable man, he made
the woman that he loved his wife. The
fnct of this marriage came to the
knowledge of his father. who at n
caused the young couple to be separ-
ated by the fulr>exercise of his despotic
authority. The grand duke was sent
off on a voyage round the world, his
marriage was annulled, and his wife
compelled by threats of Punishment to
Siberia. and of total separation from
her child Ga boy of extraordinary beauty
and engaging quaiities) to consent to
a second union with an obscure physi-
clan. BY this measure all possible re-
union with her royal husband was rem
dered impossible. The subsequent
marriage Of Alexander II. to the Prin-
cess Dolgourouki. though only a NOR
ganatic one, might, you think, have
taught him a little human feeling to-
ward his son and that sons wife and
offspring.
In this tragic story, it is said, is to
be found the true rcaso why the
Grand Duke Alexis. though legally I'M
married, has refused all negotiations
for a royal alliance. After the mar
riage of his younger brother, the Grand
Duke Paul, lie will be the only single
one among the brothers Of the reigning

The general opinion is that there will
not be a special session OF the legislature

Worlds Fair exhibit will have to be

tions. Why not the Black Hills make

one OF the best possible advertisement
for the Hills and of course rebound to
the benefit of the whole state.
If sufficient space could be secured a
miniature Black Hills range could be
erected on the grounds. Give a con-
tour of the Hills showing old Harvey
and other prominent peaks each built
OF it's surface rock. Show valleys and
peaks with their natural soils and grasses,
the rocky gulches all dotted over with

A Pertinent Inquiry.

A f~our-year-old miss created a good
deal of CONSERVATION, not unmiXed
with amusement, in a small social Cir
Gle up town. She had been on a visit
to her grandfather, and while there
was in the habit of playing with him
as he lay, half asleep, on the sofa.
One day as her chubby fingers glided
caressingly over the old gentleman's
scant locks lie murmured drowsily. in
reply to some i~nfantile remark: Eyes,
I'm your poor old bald-headcd grand
father" One evening not long after
ward a %young-old bachelor was max
ing call on tho family, toward a
certain member of which, only eigh-
teen and decidedly pretty, he inclined
with very tender feelings. Into the
pleasant circle where the bachelor sat
flashing bright notllings of society talk
entered the four-year-old. Unseen by
the gentleman she sauntered around
the room inspecting him, and gazed
with especial interest or his polished
scalp, which cleaned in the light of
the chandelier. Suddenly, with 4 burst
of ingenious sociability, she said:

The SO called hoboe element on our
streets are rapidly increasing in num-
beers, attracted by the two new roads
on which work will soon begin. The
name and stigma attached to this class
comes from a comparatively small ele-
ment constantly on the move looking
Tor greener pastures and who squander
their money as soon as earned, but it Is
unjust to class all seekers for work un-
der the name hoboe. Many honest lab
orers and farmers who after seeding are
forced to exc out an eXistancc, to seek
work outside the ranch, are among the
new corners who are awaiting work.
There is little to fear from any OF these
strangers in so long as they are them
selves but once load them up with Rapid
City whisky and the "lively"(C times
produced by the liquor traffic, are VISA
BILE. Drunks haye become so frequent
on our streets recently that Sheriff Will
son has felt obliged to take a hand and

come that DRINKS will be SO numerous
