Anecdotes of Ceryantes,

The history of Don Quixote" did not
wait for the tardy fame of future ages; it
was universally read and admired as soon
as it was published. The most eminent
painters, engravers and sculptors We'd with
one another in representing the story of the
knight of La Mancha
The author however, had not interest
enough to obtain even the smallest pension
from the court. But friendless and ndi
gent as Cervantes was he retained his in
comparable humor to the end of his days.
Many anecdotes are told which illustrate
the power of his wonderful book to amuse
people of all classes.
NJ de Bouay, who attended the French
ambassador to Spain during Cervantes'
life, said that the ambassador compliment
ed the author one day on the reputation he
had acquired by his Don Quixote,"
"Ah," whispered Cervantes in reply,
coming close to the ambassadors ear, had
it had not been for the inquisition, should
have made my book much more entertain
ing!"
Cervantes once gave a proof that his
generosity was fully equal to his genius
In the early part of his life he was for some
time a slave in Algiers, and there he de
vised plan to free himself and thirteen Of
his fellow sufferers.
One of them tratorously revealed the de

Proud of Her Coffee.

1t has been said by diplomats and others
well posted that Of all the courts in Eu-
rope that of Baden furnishes the best ia
Bile. 1.-The grand Duchess said one old
gourmet, lis not above looking after the
kitchen herself, and while she may not
actually take part in the cooking her pres
ence suffices to procure the best results"
The grand duchess has three chief cooks
an Englishman, French Italian and a
German, the latter woman. Each OF
these has his and her kitchen respectively.
Their duties alternate SO none is retained
at his post for more than ~ hours within
every 4S, except on state occasions, which
in Baden are of rare occurrence. A for
eigner visiting at the Carlsruhe court Is
sure to have his meals, either in his apart
ments or with their royal highnesses,
served in the style Of his own country, the
grand duchess always managing to ascer-
tain his favorite dishes.
The grand duchess has only one foible---
she wants her coffee praised. She makes
the coffee herself in a Russian coffeepot.
The grand duke on his part, asks each
guest how the wine suits him, remarkine
that he grows it himself, and that he Ii

A Touch of the Heart,

He had nursed the hope tenderly that
some day he might win her, but in these
later days hope had almost retired from &C
tive life.
True, she still permitted his attentions,
but there was that in her manner which
told him far more plainly than words that
he was losing his grip at the rate of 81 miles
minute.
If indeed he ever had gripl
On this point even he had doubts at times.
Yet in it all there were often CLEANS Of
sunshine through the riffs in the clouds,
and he depended on them to revivify the
fading buds of his hope.
He knew that nobody knows what wom-
an will do when nobody is expecting it.
She doesn't even know herself.
So it was that one day his utter devotion
to her asserted itself, and he asked her to
be his wife.
Henry" she answered in calm, sisterly
manner, II had scarcely expected this at
this time. l had thought you would I'M
derstand without my speaking. Now see

Don't say that" he interrupted earnest
ly and lovingly. Don't say that, dearest.
You cannot be very plain; you are too beau

Her face filled with establishment, which
faded away as dissolving view, and in Its
stead came that look which makes lover

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value 20 per cent. above its Near
est Competitor.

The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record Of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined - wherever
exhibited in competition with Others
In the exhibitions Of former years, at
the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and
at the various State and Industrial
fairs, where it has been exhibited,
judges have invariably awarded the
Royal Baking Powder the highest
honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
animation for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts of the
chemical division of the Agricultural
Department of Washington. The Off
cial report of the tests of the baking
powders which We're made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose of
ascertaining which was the best, and
which has beensmade public, shows the
leavening str6f 9Th of the Royal to be
100 cubic inones of carbonic gas per
ounce of powder. OF the cream of
tartar baking powders exhibited at the
Fair, the next highest in strength thus
tested contained but 1873 cubic inches
of leavenieng gas. The other powders
gave an average of Ill. The Royal,
therefore, was found of 20 per cent.

nearest competitor, and A per cent.
above the average Of all the other tests
Its superiority III other respects, how
ever, in the quality of the food it
makes as to fneness, delicacy and
wholesomeness, could not be measured
by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women Of the
country for SO many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to eX-

HOW TO WIN A PRIZE.
August Heidleck, Once a La
borer, Now Rich.
Invests Dollar in the Honduras National
Lottery and Wins Capital Prize.

Barely over u year in Chicago and when he
arrived without cent in his pocket, August
Heidleck left to-day with $1,000 and an exalted
opinion of his good luck.
HeideCk is native of Canada and was
brought up on farm on the st. Clair river,
above Port Huron. There he 'toiled with his
father until of age, when he came to this coun-
try to earn his living. That was fifteen years
ago, and when he started out he was Il common
laborer. In Detroit he was married and wife
and two children will welcome HIM in their
humble home at 2Si Orleans street to morrow.
In April of 1893 Heidleck left his family in
Detroit and came to Chicago in search of work.
His first permanent position was secured with
Reeve d Company, liverymen, at 27S Chicago
avenue. There, he acted in the capacity of
hostler and washed wagons. Occas innally he
was allowed to drive, but his salary Is mained
less than 81 a day, and it was hard work support
ing himself and family on such small
allowance
One day last month Heideck decided to in
vest dollar with the Honduras National Lot
terry Company. He secured one-tifth ticket
and then built air castles and told his friends
what he would do ii he only won. The day OF
the drawing found Heidleck promptly on han nd
to sean over the list. His heart almost leaped
from his throat when he discovered that his
number drew the second capital prize of $40 600
The ticket was at once sent to Paul Conrad for
collection and to-day the express company gave
Heidleck a, crisp check for $4,000. He could
hardly realize his luck when the bank eX
changed roll Of bills for the check
When seen by reporter for The Dispatch Mr.
Heidleck said: "The first dollar of my new for
tune went for another ticket and am now anx
ious to win the capital prize in the Honduras
Com pany. The balance of my money will bt
used to purchase farm up in Michigan. vii
move my family up there and we will now b,
fixed for life. 1t was indeed lucky dollar io
me and am too pleased to discuss my future
! This is the first ticket | ever bought, but iel
sure would win prize. A friend of mine als'
drew 5000 this month,

A PIERHANp INSPECTION

before he gave them the hoped for signal.
FINALLY all had been disposed of satisfac-

the book was closed with snap, and the
superintendent returned to his office. A
few minutes later the men were hustling
the freight off the newly arrived steamer
and the pier which had been very quiet
was filled with the trucks.
Every week this programme is carried

intoxicated men handling thecrates of fine
china and glassware, or the cases of wines
that are brought from France to these
shores by the French vessels
By the way, some of the best freight
handlers do not appear physically able to
handle the big cases and crates. There
are many small, bent, gray haired men
among the longshoremen. They look
weak, but they handle the freight without
difficulty. There is knack in lifting the
big boxes which makes the work much
easier than it seems,-New York Sun.
