CLAIMS OF LONG DESCENT.
Begins with King Solomon and
Ends in a Police Court.

A young man who claims--and ha'
the long standing historic tradition FOL
his claim-to be the lineal descendant
Of the Queen of Sheba, and to have had
King Solomon as his far-away progenl'
tor, was told few weeks ago that he
was a public nuisance, and paid about
S. fine and costs for drunkenness and
using vile language in the streets Of
Brighton, Eng.
This man was the son OF King Theo'
dore of Abyssinia, potentate who pre-
vious to 1868 had made for himself 9
name Of no slight eminence, and who II
that year ended his life by his own hand,
after the British troops had stormed his
hitherto inaccessible fortress Of Magdala,
in the far-away hills Of that ancient
country.
The boy, then about 9 years OF age,
was taken in charge by his captors, and
on arriving in England was placed IN
charge of Captain Spoke, the celebrated
African explorer, and n sum OF money
appropriated for his education at high.
grade school. and at Oxford, with good
allowance on his arrivingat the age OF IL
Surprising that the traditions OF Abys'
sinia are correct, the lad had all the
prestige of long and illustrious descent
to help him to a life Of dignified en-
deavor.
This tradition says that when the
Queen of Sheba visited the court OF hlng
Solomon the King became the father OF
a boy named Menelek, who afterwards
became King of the region now or Tor
merly part Of Abyssinia.
The country was the scene OF early
enterprise of Christian missions, and is
at least nominally represented by a
branch of the Church partaking OF the
Greek or Coptic formulas, and with a
definite liturgy and organization.
King Theodore formulated claim 70
respect as being the lineal descendant OF
the lire of kings from Menelek down:
SO distinct and definite was his claim
in his mind that his celebrated letter to
Queen Victoria in 1866 had rather a tone
of patronage and condescenslon betting
a monarch whose ancestors ruled an en-
nire thousands Of years before Britain
had ceased to he barbarOus.
To- man like Theodore, Queen We
toria's crown was mushroom growth,
and herself mere parren" monarch.
And the end of it all is wound up IN
the following from an English paper:
"The Brighton magistrates had be-
fore them on Friday the son CT the late
King Theodore of Abyssinia, who was
charged by the police with being drunk
and disorderly and using obscene Ian
guage.
1T appeared that whilst in a state of
intoxication prisoner entered a confec-
toners shop and refused to leave. The
Chief Constable stated that numerous
complaints had been received in regard
TO the prisoners conduct during his stay
in Brighton.
"The Stipendiary Magistrate told tho
prisoner that he was making himself a
public nuisance, and ordered him to pay
a fine of 10 shillings and costs.

FARE sUMPTUOUSLY.


You know half the housekeepers that
fare sumptuously every day at home lust
dote on being taken ont to lunch, where
they can eat something they haven't
thought about at all.
OF course you may have to deny your
self little bit to keep up With these
small courteses, but so does every mar
ried woman who entertains at all. She
must return in tull measure every favor
she receives from the day she is married,
though for her to invite to luncheOns
and give dinners often means to go with
out the dainty little elegancies of the
toilet, the matinee tickets, the new books
that you always enjoy.
1t means, too, to go down into a hot
kitchen, where yesterdays cabbage and
onions fight for precedence in savors.
1t means wrestling with perverse
cooks and impudent mattresses as Jacob
wrested with the angel-only longer.
1t means nervous headache and hyste-
ria, and cross husband when he comes
in at night and discovers the situation.
SO you see it is not the old maid alone
who pays for her popularity.
Then there is another readable page
in the old bachelors book, only he is so
pulled up with vanity it is too bad to
call attention to 1t.
Did you ever notice the old bachelor
never has any troubles or vexations to
rehearse ? II his stocks have gone down
he never SAWS anything about it. IL his
landlady gives him his claret cold and
his champagne hot, if she frizzles his
beefsteak to crisp and gives him his
mullins dough, he "lies low and says
muffin"
II his tailor is exorbitant and his laun-
dress starches his handkerchiefs more
than she does his dress-shirts, you never
know 1t.
That's why he's such Jolly good fell
low. That's why everybody is so de-
lighted to see him. That's why he
doesn't get any Of the sympathy poured
out over the old maid. That is why
people are not continually asking him
why he doesn get married.
MODELS OF COMFORT.
It is Just like the clubs that men are
always telling their wives about as
models OF comfort. running without
friction or annoyance.
OF course the club cook never leaves.
because he has such an opportunity for
helping himself to things from the gro
GERS supplies, and the buffers can never
secure SO much wine without paying
revenue anywhere else.
And the directors of these model clubs
know, if they dared to tell. that there
is nothing but confusion worse con-
founded in the management, argu-
ments. and discussion and fuss all the
time.
So with the enviable old bachelors ex-
istence. However grevious his discom-
forts, he never airs his tale of woe at
dinner.
Now, the old maid has infinitely the
advantage of him after she learns how
much more interesting it is TO every
body to rehearse their ills than to hear
the account OF some other persons mis-
fortune.
The old maid, who, Of course, never
has anything 10 trouble her, can become
the trust company and safe deposit Of
every ones secrets in the household.
The wife can contide to her things that
