 small That either eye nor ear could troco ,,s s;,o,,.

HE FEED THE PRINCE.
Texas Jacks Way of Settling Little Dim-
 CultiNs.


 culties.
 The following story is going the rounds of social circles in Copehagen: The crown prince, who loves to take long walks, was promenading the other day along the Strandney when he came across one of the toll-keepers. After paying his tax he began a con- versation with the good man, sitting on the bench which the keeper occu- pied. A few minutes later a rider came running toward them. The crown prince recognized him as Texas Jack," who had ridden in several races recently. The sportsman neither knew the crown prince nor that he was to pay toll for the privilege of using the street. The keeper was obliged to catch the bridle of Texas Jacks" steed, as, speaking no Danish, the latter did not understand the de- mands made upon him, and wished to push by. Texas Jack" was growing angry when his royal highness stepped forward and announced in English that users of that way had to pay ten oere.
 Upon hearing this, the long haired rider at once put his hand in his pocket, pulled out twenty oere, and gave the money to the crown prince. The latter offered to return him fifteen oere, but the Yankee, with a majestic wave of his whip, told the crown prince to keep the change as a reward for helping him out of his difficulty.
 On the following day the crown prince went to the races. Among the competitors was Texas Jack" A few minutes before he was to show the skill of himself and horse, he rode up in. front of the royal pavilion to make the customary obeisance to the king. But he almost dropped his reins when looking up. he saw the man to whom he had given the fee on the pre- ceding day occupying the place re- served for the crown prince. His royal highness greeted him, however, most heartily, and Texas Jack" rode away smiling and to victory. Y. Tribune.

NEeT CITY ARK. FRIDAY AFTERNOON. DECEMBER 2S 1894

"Yes, child" replied Aunt Judy and then the old pride coming sudden ly upon her, she said, "but we'll have to find out who did it and send them back. We mustn't keep them, lilly. It's too much like charity"
 A little later, when the minister was going by, she called him to advise her. No matter what his arguments were, he had well-nigh persuaded her to &C., cept the gift without question, when lilly clinched matters.
 "Sides, missie," she said offering her speech as supplement to the minister's, "the burglars got your furniture, hain't they? Time enough to give up the new things when they bring back the old ones."
 '1 will keep them" said Aunt Judy, smiling, and so the thing was settled.
 Were you ever found out, Uncle Bob?" inqu:xed Dicky.
 Yes, the newspapers got hold of the affair, and pretty soon Teddy and l were known all over town as The Blessed Burglars But before this happened the minister, at Aunt Judy's request, had inserted this little item:
 REWARD OFFERED.
 Any person giving information concerning the burglars who entered the premises of Miss Judith Brown, on the night of July 5, will receive thou sa nd thanks. As for the burglars themselves, Miss Brown would be greatly pleased to have them call upon her some evening while she is awake, to receive the gratitude their kindness and consideration deserve Inter Ocean

Just Judgments.

A thwarted principle strikes deep roots.
 The most irretractable errors are those in ink.
 Purity is necessity with women; a concession to morality with men.
 The lesser the education the greater the susceptibility to sights and of- lenses.
 The debt of the rose to the mire is one which indifference grants and na- ture repays.
 In her eagerness to create, nature may sometimes be betrayed, but she never creates monstrosity without protest.
 My neighbor never understands the grounds of my offense against him, for they rest on some things other than the things he did.
 The sympathy that adds another tear to our eyes is sometimes better than the laugh which would make us forget that there is any cause for weeping. - Kathrine Grosjean, in Judge.

 Mrs. Louise S. Rounds, who has just been elected president of the Hi nois Woman's Christian Temperance union for the ninth time, has worked in forty-three counties, given one hun dred and seventy-fve addresses in the state, and has visited four other states.

 Mrs. Cleveland has habit of keep ing souvenirs of the official and social affairs she attends, and brought back what was left of the champagne bottle which she broke to name the St. Louis. Mrs. Cramp gave her unique and ex- quisite vinaigrette of cut glass set in gold, studded with diamonds.
 Sir Charles Dilke continues to suf- fer from kind of ostracism, which is none the less real because it is so deli cate. It is not so marked in the house of commons as it was, but there are some liberals who in the old days would have been anxious to obtain his services as public speaker who now carefully exclude his name from their lists.
 Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth's busy literary life is over, as she is seventy five years old and feeble, though her mind is still vigorous. She takes exist ence as easily as one of her years should.

THE BLESSED BURGLARS.
BY GEORGE A. WESTLEY.

My first burglary remarked Uncle Bob suddenly, as Diclly and he sat on the piazza together, twas committed when was boy of twelve"
 What! You committed burglary you, Uncle Bob?" cried Dicky in dis may. "Oh, that was an awful thing to dor
 Not such a very awful thing the way we did it," said Uncle Bob, calm ly. 'Listen and l will tell you about it.
 Teddy Gordon, my school chum, was the swiftest runner in Pokeville. One Fourth of July he captured no less than fifty dollars in prizes. Next morning met him coming down the road.
 Hello, Teddy" said I. decided what to do with your money yet?"
 "Yes," he replied, I'm going into the burglar business"
 "Ted Gordon, have you clean gone out of your senses? What on earth do you mean"
 Exactly what 1 say" replied Ted, calmly. i've got my eye on an easy house to begin on. and look here, Bob, I'm going to take you into partner ship"
 Well, not if I know it." said l, my eyes opening wide with amazement at Ted's coolness.
 'In the first place it's dead wrong. and in the second it's very dangerous.
 "Oh, guess you will join me in this al r;rrhf " racnNnAad Tad with smile "Now listen"
 Looking cautiously about to see that there was no chance of being over heard, Ted unfolded his plan.
 Why, it's splendid scheme!' broke out presently. "Of course I'll join you. And look here, Ted, the old lady hasn't got any bulldog or anything, and l don't believe she even locks her door nights. Come along now, and let us get together our things.
 And arm in arm we strolled down the street, maturing our plans as we went.
 Miss Judith Brown, or Aunt Judy" as she was often called, lived in somewhat dilapidated little cottage about half mile down the road. The poor old lady had recently fallen upon evil times. The hundred-dollar income with which she had for years managed to keep body and soul together was suddenly cut down to one-half that amount. And to make matters worse her eyes began to fail her, so that she could no longer add to her small in- come by her sewing and fancy work. So, altogether. matters were looking about as black and gloomy as they well could.
 The carpet in her little sitting-room was very threadbare, the chairs old and rickety, and as for the table, it could scarcely support the few cracked dishes her frugal meal required her to put upon it.
 Occasionally Aunt Judy had lady visitor. and then with what mortifica- tion the poor woman was compelled to set before her caller clipped cups and saucers, and to warn her not to bear too heavily on the chair upon which she was sitting, only few of her ac- Quaintances knew. ..Tilly," she said one evening to the

The Monarchy of Monaco.

/ The principality of Monaco is an ex-
tremely interesting locality for many rear
sons The frontier is not extensive, but it
is possible to walk three miles straight on
without entering the territories OF the adj
jacent French republic-for a person who
knows the country, that is. The popular
ton exceeds that of two other European
nations-the principality of Liechtenstein
and the republic of San Marino. The form
of government is an absolute monarchy,
the present sovereign being his highness
Albert, prince of Monaco, duke of Valen-
tinois, Mazarin and Mayenne, prince Of
Chateau-Porcien, marquis des Baux OF
Chilly and of Guiscard, count of Carlades
and of Longjumeau, of Ferrette, Belfort,
Thanh and Rosemont, etc.
The Turk that two and fifty kingdoms hath.
has hardly a more magnificent array of
titles
His highness is at the head of an army
numbering almost 80 men. officers included,
and a corps of gendarmerie more than 40
strong These calculations do not include
his special guard of honor. A Monegrasque
staff officer is probably the most magnif-
Gently attired warrior in Europe. The rank
and file of the army, though less splendid,
are also worthy of admiration. Having but
light duties, they can give their minds
wholly and entirely to the cultivation of
the mustache, in which department they
fear no competition. The prince of Monaco
treats upon equal terms with foreign poten-
tates and sends ENJOYS extraordinary and
ministers plenipotentiary to Paris and to
the Vatican. -Blackwood' Magazine.

Roadside Crosses In Italy.

"The traveller in Europe, and especially in
some parts of Europe, comes continually
across those relics of the feudal days, the
roadside shrine and the milestone cross, y
said Harry G. Selfridge, who is putting
up'' at the Laclede for day OF rest and
recreation I'm Italy they are most numer-
GUS, dotting every crossroad and hilltop,
every spring and shady nook where one
might lie down during the monday heat
and rest. 1t seems that these shrines are
considered Ravens of rest by the poor and the
unfortunate, for you can see at all hours OF
the day footsore and ragged pedestrians
throwing themselves at full length before
these images of the Virgin and the Christ
and weeping in bitterest distress. 1t Is
not alone to pray that many of these pill
grims come, not alone to pour out their
woes to a pictured ideal, an ever willing
ear; they frequently come to die.
ANNUALLY many persons end their lives
before these images, sinking down bleeding
and praying, staining the pure green grass
with their hearts blood. We talk about
skeletons in the closet; about the hidden
sorrows of this world. They are not in the
closets, should judge, from these instances.
They are providing abroad in the sunshine,
haggard life ghosts, seeking rest and never
finding; seeking a kind, forgiving heart
and being eventually compelled to fly to
this unknown spirit of mercy and there in
the sunlight to pour out their woes to the
maker and cast off this life in despair.
These crosses are really remarkable, and
the many woes they stand record of make
them doubly precious in the eyes of the
poor and the ignorant. That is what call
one of the interesting things about Europe. !"

STOCK NOTES.

The best pays in all things pertaining
to stock.
Clean stables have much to do with
success in butter-makiDg.
Pumpkin on the half shelf is not as
good as pumpkin "hashed for stock.
Better breeding and handling have
made the average fleece weigh more than
it did twenty years ago.
Wheat is rich in nutriment, and at
present prices is good and cheap feed
for horses. Use it mixed with other
food.
Have the hogs ready to sell off before
very cold weather, excepting the breed
ing stock and such as are needed for
home use.
See that the pasture fences are all
right just now. Many good beast has
been lost because a poor fence let it into
the corn field.
Keep a supply of salt, charcoal and
ashes for hogs, where they can help
themselves, especially when crowding
with full corn ration.
The greater the attention paid to sup
plying the markets with well-fed ami
mails of the best mutton brand the more
popular mutton food will become.
There is no profit in raising calves I'M
less they are well fed and cared for from
the start. When brought from the pas
ture in the fall they should be stalled
the same as older cattle that each may
get its share of food.

HIS LAST SLIDE.
Mike Kelly, the Well-Known baseDah
Player, Dies in the Hub.

III
PLAYER, Dies in the Hub.
BosroN. Mass, November 10.-Mike
Kelly, the baseball player. died here TO-
night at the emergency hospital. lie
came here Monday morning to join the
London Gayety Girls Theatrical Com
PAW. and was taken sick that morning
with pneumonia. He rallied Monday
evening, but since then has been falling
until death came tonight.
Mike Kelly was undoubtedly the best
known ball player in the country. Tie
was native of Paterson, n. j., and first
came into prominence when he was the
receiving end of Chicago's famous "Jer-
sew battery" Jim Mccormick was the
pitcher. After Mccormick retired Nelly
caught John Clarkson, and was later
sold to Boston for $4,000. Clarkson
brought the same figure, and the two
became known as Boston's twenty
thousand dollar battery" After Kelly
secured his release from Boston he went
to New York, and from there to Allen
town in the Pennsylvania State League.
Toward the last of the season he trans
ferred his club to Yonkers, and finished
last season in the Eastern League. Sew
eral wears ago Kelly developed into a
song-and-dance artist, and during the
winter months appeared in the large
Eastern cities. 1t was his reputation as
a ball player rather than his ability as
an olio performer that made him draw
ing card. Kelly led the National
League in batting in 1886 with percent
age of 1888.
