DEFIED HIS FUTURE QUEEN.
An Island Tailor Who Was No Respecter
of Persons.

An Island Tailor Who Was No Respecter
of Persons.
Here is little story that is vouched
for by a clergyman from England, at
present the guest of brother preacher
residing in Chicago:
Princess Victoria, now queen of Eng
land, spent some of her youthful days
in Anglesey, where she seemed to en-
joy herself very much, and she occa-
sionally wore the sugar-loaf hat and a
riding habit, and went among the de-
scendants of the old Druids. This was
before she took fancy to the brown
heath, and the tartan plaid, and the
pibroch of Caledonia. In the neigh
borhood of the new palace in Mona,
where she and the duchess of Kent
were staying, was an old tailor named
John Jones, who was local preacher
with the Wesleyans.
One Saturday afternoon Princess Vic
toria had the misfortune, while riding,
to tear her riding habit, and on her re-
turn to the palace the local tailor was
sent for by the house steward. John
Jones went and asked for ''the lord
chamberlain" but was told there was
no such functionary at the palace. He,
in consequence, returned home. Sum
day morning another message came
from the palace requesting his imme-
diate attention, He sent in reply that
he could not go, that he was to preach
that morning at Traethcoch, and away
he went. On the following morning
another message came from the palace.
and this time he obeyed the summons.
Appearing before the house steward,
that fupctionary appeared much dis
pleased with the old preacher, and
asked him angrily why he had not
come when sent for the day before,
~ was preaching at Gorsmen chapel,
in the morning, SIR" replied John
Jones, "and at Traethcoch IN the even
ing"
"Chapel, indeedp' said the officer,
preaching, indeed! Do you not know
that her royal highness, Princess Vic
toria, had sent for you to do some
work for her?'
Eyes, sir,n replied John, "but
don't work on the Sabbath and never
shall"
"What," said the officer, you refuse
to do small job for the future queen
of Great Britain?"
"Well," said John, 81 am now but a
poor tailor of Lionfair, but I also ex-
pect to be king some day in the next
world, and it is better for me to lose
the favor of prinoesses of the world
than to forfeit my crown in the world
come"
The officer laughed and gave John
the habit to mend, When the task
was finished, the officer informed
Jones that tho princess and duchess
were much pleased with the manner
in which he had done the work, and
especially with his conduct, and ex-
pressed themselves willing to assist
him when necessary. -

CAPE HORNS POST OFFICE.
There Is None Simpler-And 1t Has No
Postmaster Attached.


Postmaster Attached.
In spite of improved modern methods
of communication, the southern ex,
it's flavor of aloofness and romance.
The trip around the Horn, still neces-
sarily made by sailing vessels because
they cannot so easily tread the mazes
of the straits of Magellan, is no easier
than it was to the early navigators,
save that perhaps modern sailing ships
are safer and more manageable than
those of the sixteenth century. Even
yet, however, sailing ships may hover
vainly off the Horn for the better part
of month, and that curious interna-
tional mail box kept at the Horn still
has its uses.
Landsmen who have heard of this
singular survival are tempted to doubt
its existence, but sailors persistently
affirm that it is still there. Cape Horn
is great mass of rock rising ahSuptly
from the sea and forming small
island. Upon one of the lodges of this
rock stands covered barrel, the inter
national post office of region more
than five hundred miles from anything
that resembles civilization 1t is the
custom of captains passing round the
Horn to send a boat ashore at this
point if possible, take out whatever
mail is going in the direction of the
vessel and drop in whatever it is de.
sired shall go in the other direction.
International comfy would protect
the mail box if need be, but no pirates
lurk about that region, and whatever
natives may be there would have small
use for the contents of the mail box.
1t is the worlds most southern post
office, more than twenty degrees south
of Cape Town and more than ten de-
grees south of any post town in Ocean

It has been said that it is the "little
things" which make up the sweets Of life. Z"
And one Of Washington Irving's most de
lightful descriptions OF rural life is his
story OF the Wife" in which he relates the
anecdots OF a friend who had met with
financial losses and was forced TO take a
small cottage in the suburbs Of the city
where they had been living in fashionable
splendor; how the good wife assured her
husband that the cottage could be made
prettier and more attractive than the man
sion, and by her skill and taste with her
own deft hands soon transformed the cot
tage into a most beautiful and attractive
home, assuring her husband that she would
now have an opportunity 10 help him, and
that they would be much happier than in
their former position, where they were
obliged to obey the rules of fashion; that
their very freedom from conventionalities
would make life more enjoyable.
There is charm in the eyes of refined
natures in the visions Of a neat and pretty
cottage, well kept, with an abundance OF
pure, fresh air, blue skies, sunshine, foliage
and the songs of birds. 1t is not possible,
however, for everybody to enjoy such pleas
ures, but the mere reading Of such descrip
tions cultivates the mind and teaches us to
better appreciate homely life.

decided to arrange something new for the
double purpose of affording ample pleasure
for the public and replenishing the treasury
which the Post draws upon TO relieve the
widows and orphans of soldiers of the late
war. The Post is not a beneficial organiza-
tion in the general sense, but it has charit-
able feature that enables it to do an immense
amount of good among the families of veter-
ans when they are in financial distress.
During the past few months the fund re.
ferred to has been taxed quite severely and
now it has been decided to hold a fair on a
large scale for its benefit. The preliminary
arrangements for the affair are now com
pleted and the Womens' Relief Corps of the
Post and Ladies' Aid Society connected with
Henry Horncastle Camp, No. 49, Sons o
Veterans, have decided to help make tn,
project a success
The fair will be held in Robbins opera
house and will run ten days, beginning
Wednesday, April 18th, next.
