THREE LUCKY CHILDREN.
Three Little German Princes and How They
Pass Their Time.


Pass Their Time.
From the London Daily News
OF the daily life Of the three eldest imperial
princes our Berlin correspondent writes: The
princes, as is very generally known. are very
simply and strictly brought up. Every day,
summer and winter, they get up at o'clock in
the morning and have breakfast at 7:45 o'clock,
consisting of tea and rolls. The meal never
lasts longer than quarter OF an hour. Punct-
ually at o'clock their lessons begin. The
crown prince. we'll as the Princes Fritz and
Adalbert, are each taught separately, but for
some hours the crown prince and Prince Fritz
are taught together. The crown prince. who
is most jealous, and takes all his lessons in
earnest, is much further advanced than his two
brothers. The play hours during the morning
are filled up with gymnastics, games of ball,
digging, &c, in the playground, near the right
wing Of the new palace. At 9:45 they take
luncheon-sa sandwiches, claret and natural min
eral water, which beverage is much drunk at
the imperial table. After lunch they again
have lessons for short time. and then take their
riding lessons, either in the riding school in bad
weather or in fine weather out Of doors.
The crown prince, who is an excellent rider,
with a firm seat. has lately begun to ride.
His white horse, abdul which he received
on hrs birthday from the emperor, is
handsome. large Arabian, with long tail and
thick name, of faultless build, proud bearing
and a most graceful step. After their riding
lesson they sometimes take ride in the
neighborhood Of the new palace, accompanied
by the crown princes military governor, Maj.
Won Falkenhayn. The Princess Fritz and Adal-
bert accompany the crown prince on their
ponies, and it is a pretty sight to see the
younger ones trying to keep up with their elder
brother. They very often take drive in their
pony carriage, the crown prince driving. This
little basket carriage is drawn by a white pony,
hung all over with silver bells, and its name is
'Seehund."

The borrower apologized and deposited the

come even that often. 1t Is necessary for the
lovers of the sport to take advantage of the
first ice. for it may be the last of the season.
This fact will excuse the businesslike masculine
crowd that poured into the city on sunday
evening.
Every seat in the car I entered was occupied
by young man or boy with a pair OF skates.
To be exact. every seat but one-and that was
taken by young lady. She also had pair Of
skates. She had very pretty pair OF eyes. too.

gentlemen who accompanied her. She was
very chatty and rather loud, with one OF those

From Smith. GRAY L Co. IS Monthly.
"Look here, Winebiddle, I understand you
have been telling people don't pay my bills"

''You didn't say that, them

the subject, will tell you that really don't

what! You don't believe 1 pay my bills?"
"That's what l said"
'Td like to know what ground you have for
saying that. I'd have you know that don't

THAT only proves what said-that you don't

What on earth do you mean? Are you

the money to. Have cigar!"

Reflections of an Unhappy Leap Year.
From the Atchison Globe.
When . woman starts out to reform she
thinks only of the faults of men.
The women put too much confidence in pins.
All the wearing articles that are lost belong to
women.
A very pretty winter girl visiting in town has
a voice that sounds exactly like the hard un-
sympathetic tones of a talking doll
woman often speaks of her own children
as 1.-THE whole tribe" but she gets mad il any
one else refers to them in that way.
Kansas women are getting their rights.
postmistress in a little Kansas town was re-
moved Yesterday for habitual drunkenness and
misconduct.
A woman always has fancy writing paper,
but she never uses il when she writes notes to
her husband asking for money; she uses scssps
OF grocery wrapping paper that are more sug-
gestive Of poverty.
When q girl visits in town she nearly always
has good time. but young man seldom does,
The men pay him but little attention, and the
young ladies' hold him at a distance because IL
is not proper to become acquainted too rapidly.
Atchison streets will be so crowded next
summer the people will have trouble getting
along. All the Atchison women have ordered
hoop skirts for the coming season SO big that

The first detachment Of women arrived on the
streets today to exchange misfit Christmas
presents, and every one improved the oppor-
tunity to ask the clerk what the presents cost.
A woman always wants to know the cost of
things that are given her.

There Was Too Much In the secretary's
Once This Morning.
The Office Of the Secretary Of the Navy. which
lie one Of the largest and finest public rooms in
the city, was this morning Temporarily con-
verted into an ideal Turkish bathing salon.
The Transformation was inadvertently caused
by Private Secretary Raymond He reached
the Office shortly before 9, o'clock. The room
was cold The heat had not been turned on.
The pipes were filed with hot water and il
required merely the turning Of . stopcock to
bring the temperature Of the room up to the
desired point. Mr.. Raymond turned the valve
and he cold air outside rushed in to mingle
with the imprisoned hot water. The re-
suit was that the pipe burst, the
room filed rapidly with hot water
and the thick vapor enveloped Mr.. Raymond in
his hasty fight to the corridor. The engineer
of the building heard the alarm and prevented
further trouble by promptly turning of the
water In the basement. By this time the Sec
retary's room vas flooded with water
that too hot to trife with. The
floor has lost its beautiful polish and the rugs
were well secured, but beyond this no material
damage was done. and the business of the de-
partment progressed as usual

done his bidding, was Henry Wilton.
This is the first visit Of each to Rhode Island,
but their great grandfathers lived here more

The reversal Of their respective social condi-

Anthony Wilton lived here before the revo-

succeed in life until he took to dealing in rum

Wilton waxed wealthy and made passage to
the slave coast at one time, when q raid was
made on q negro village near where Cape Coast

and youths were shipped aboard Wilton g

Among the poor wretches stolen from their
homes to be sold into slavery was the great
grandfather Of P. Tolcmy, the aristocratic young
man of this story.
This man was such fine specimen that Mr..
Wilton decided to domesticate him and keep
him in his own household.
