pripcess H Hohenlohe,s inheritance.

Princess Hohenlohe, the wife of the
governor general of Alsace-Lorraine, in
herited from her uncle, a Russian gener-
al, estates in Russia worth 80, 1000, 900 or
40, ,0OO, 900 rubles. Under the Russian law
foreign nonresidents cannot hold proper
ty, and the princess is compelled to sell
her estates at once. She asked the czar
to grant her little time. as the financial
stringency, which prevails in Russia as
well as in this country, has made real es-
tate hard to dispose of. The czar, how
ever, for political reasons, refuses to
grant the extension, and the woman may
be able to realize only $4,000, 900 or 20,-
OOO, 900 rubles from her heritage.

P's by All Means,

Let us have P's. Persons who patron
ize papers should pay, for the pecuniary
prospects of the press have peculiar pow
er in pushing forward public prosperity.
If the printer is paid promptly and his
pocketbook kept plethoric by promptly
paying patrons, he puts his pen to paper
in peace, he paints his picture of passing
events in more pleasing colors, and a
perusal of his paper is pleasure to the
people. Paste this piece of proverbial
philosophy in pumpkin pie order in some
place where all persons may see it plain
ly.-Exchange

JUST TOO LOVELY.

When Reminded, the Game of Football All
Came Back to Her.
She told him when he asked her If she
would like to go out and see the football
game that she would be only too glad to
go, because she did enjoy ball game 80
much and that she hadn't seen one for
two years. when Charlie Joy took her
and told her all about it. That pleased
him immensely, for he didn't like Char
lie little bit and did dote on girl that
knew something besides embroidery and
caramels. So they went, and she looked
on. apparently in great interest, for half
an hour. and he was 80 absorbed that he
almost forgot her. It occurred to him
after awhile that she was there, and he
turned to her.
do you understand ita'' he inquired
"Oh, yes," she said; THAT is, most of
It, but I'm little rusty, think, and
some of the terms hear don't quite
understand"
"What, for instanceT
"Well. what is touchdown
''That's when player touches the ball
back of his opponents goal. and it counts
four points"
"Oh, yes, and what is 'putoutr
'.That's when player Of the side which
has made touchdown kicks the ball
to a player of his own side, the object
being to get into better position for a
kick at the goal"
"Yes, l see," she responded in some
doubt, land what is 'chargingY"
"That's rushing forward to seize the
ball or to tackle player"
Then she waited few minutes until
lively tussle was ended and he could
give her moments time again.
wasn't that perfectly lovely?" she
exclaimed. "and how stupid of mel I
remember distinctly now that Charlie
told me all those points, and that three
strikes were out, and when man stole
base the batter pounded him for three
hits, and when the ball got foul they
famed the air. OF course / ought to
have remembered, but I was thinking
about something else when we came out
this afternoon. There, see that man
making home runl Amt he just too
lovelyr" and the young man gave her
one long, agonized look and shrieked
aloud.-Detroit Free Press.

Maine for visit, and the young woman

into the parlor to show her a lions head

"This talk" said the bachelor, "of

Yet He Gave 1t the Shake.

Uncle Allen had dropped into cob
bler's shop for repairs. AS he rose up
after putting on the mended shoe he
pulled the chair up with him.
.'That lump of wax" said the shoe
maker, 'seems to have formed strong
attachment for you"
II don't reciprocate," replied Uncle
Allen, "but confess I'm a good deal
