How a Little Queen Lives.

Twelve years old and a queen. That
is the way it is with little Queen
Wilhelmina of Holland. Her father,
who was King William the Fourth,
died last year, and rs Wilhelmina was
his only daughter by the law of the
land she was queen, and thereafter
everything must be done in her name.
or course she Is too young 10 assume
tho real control, and IN these days of
limited monarchios it Is doubtful IL she
over takes the rcins into her own hands
completely, still every public act Of
royal power Is performed in her
name. Mean nwhile Wilhclmina troubles
hcrself but little over her royalty
and lives in the castle of Loo with
her mother, tho good Queen En-
ma, caring more for her
dolls, her pigeons and her team of six
ponies than for all the court ccrcmon-
ials which the royal chamberlain can
devise. Usually the little queen lives
quiet, happy life. She rises at seven
o'clock in the morning aud runs to kiss
hor mother. Thon the maid dresses
her and sho is oil fresh and ready for
breakfast ut eight. From nine Till
twelve she is busy at study. At noon
she has simple luncheon and In the
afternoon is allowed to play in the
park or drive her ponies, such times
as she is not practicing on her piano
"a little one made especially for tho
queen by celebrated German irm).
At SIX she dimes with her mother and
is sent promptly to bed whom the clock
strikes eight.
Once in q while some famous man
or somo other royal parsonage comes
to visit her and then the little queen
has to 60 through tiresome round of
ceremonies which she cares but little
about. Last year she went to Cor
many to attend u sories of grand BAN
qucts, much to her disgust. So queens
do not always have their own way.
after all, you see. Sho has been
taught, too. to take an interest in the
people she is to govern, to care for
thoir interests and to listen to their re-
quests, so that she gives promise of
being greatly loved when she is old
enough to think aud act for herself. -

For Ever and n Day.

It's gold may vanish from your hand,
Its honors from your name,
Your hopes may break like ropes Of sand,
And tsrnished be your fame;
The world might sneer at you,
Aud friends you prize as true
Might stealthily betray;I
But do not grieve,
For love will live
For ever and day.
A soul united to your own,
A heart whose king you are,
Where you can reign as on thron
And she would be your star;
A wee white hand knit close
To yours In sun or shows
You'll tread the primroscd way
Which love can give,
For love will live
For ever and day!
Life's gall will fade within the balm
Her kisses have In store;
Her glance will change to groves Of palm
The crosses that you bore;
Trusting In her, knight
You'll march into the fight,
And conquer in the fray
soyou believe
That love will live
For ever and day.
