THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
The Most Highly Priced Of All the Surviv-
ing Orders of Chivalry.

The Most Highly Priced OF All the Surviy-
ing Orders of Chivalry.
OF all ''e orders Of medieval chiv.
airy which have survived the shock OF
successive revolutions ON the continent
of Europe since the great oataclysm OF
1889, that of tho Golden Fleece is per-
haps the most distinguished and the
most highly coveted by personages of
royal birth or of illustrious patrician
lineage Students of the history of the
art or science of heraldry will learn
with interest and pleasure that, the Or
der of the Toison dor of Spain having
been conferred ON the Duke of York, his
royal highness was on Tuesday invest
ed, at Marlborough House. with the in
sigma of the order by the Prince of
Wales, himself knight Of the order,
acting in the name Of the queen regent
and on behalf of the young king OF
Spain. The secretary of the Spanish
embassy, as chancellor of the order, read
the royal commission creating the duke
knight, and the august ceremony was
also attended by the Duke of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha and the Duo d'Aumale as
knights Of the order, and by the Span
ish ambassador and the Earl Of Kimber-
ley, her majesty's secretary of state for
foreign affairs.
The Duke Of York only received the
badge of the order, in the shape Of the
figure Of a sheep In embossed gold sus-
pended from heavy chain Of gold. but
at a chapter Of the order or at great
court functions at Madrid he would be
entitled to wear the full robes, consist
ing of long mantle of crimson velvet,
cut in the fashion of sacerdotal COPE
richly embroidered at the borders with
emblematic devices of stars half moons
and feeces in gold and lined with white
satin, over doublet and hose of Grim
son damask The full robes also COM
prise "chaperon, or hood, with q
long flowing streamer Of black satin,
but this headgear has in modern times
been generally dispensed with
Originally the robes Of the order,
which was founded in 1920 by Philip
the Good, duke Of Burgundy, were Of
crimson cloth lined with white lamb
wool, and this circumstance has some
what strengthened the theory that tho
golden fleece WAS instituted by Philip
the Good in grateful recognition Of the
immense treasures which the Duke Of
Burgundy had acquired from the
wool of the focks reared on his vast
estates in Flanders. Be 1t as it may,
the wooden costume was changed in
1473 at chapter held at Valenciennes
for the more costly materials of velvet,
taffeta, damask and gold embroidery.

TIE WHITE RueeER GOAT.

Lord Byron looks with naughty stare
Straight out from the shelf at me,
With the handsomest wave TO his smooth
bisque hair
That an artist would care to see,
And the proudest curl to his silent lip,
And the coolest and loftiest smile,
With Lis head set back at lordly tip
Ger that collar of faring style.
And down in the corner of that came shelf
AS meek as goat might be,
A white rubber goat-ashamed of himself
Stands wabbling his beard at me.
A white rubber goat that happened TO know
Has wonderful whistle somewhere
Concealed In the region that's hid below
The wealth of his rubber hair.
The white rubber goat is ahomely goat,
With eyes that are bloodshot and red.
And lumpy whiskers that hang from his throat
In bunch like beard of lead,
And the voice that he shrieks from his stomach
is shrill
And his figure is awkward and squat.
But ween that that white rubber soat Will
fulfill
An errand which 8yros ccE 2ct.
oh, Byron, look down with your cold, bisque
eye
And scorn the white goat If you will
You never can quiet my baby's cry
With that countenance naughty and chill.
This critic of art with her rosy fist
VIII pass you all scornfully by
For the goat whose red mouth into white has
been kissed
And whose voice is squeeze whistles cry.

RoPED BEAR AND BRoNCHO.
Buckley Made Good Throw, but Hadn't
Reckoned With His Horse.

Buckley Made Good Throw, but Hadn't
Reckoned With His Horse.
Tom Buckley was working on the
spring roundup in the employ of one OF
the large cattle outfits in southeastern
Montana. While riding through a
clump of brush one day hunting cattle a
full grown silver tip bear suddenly
arose and confronted him. The only
weapon at hand was his lariat, and with
visions of juicy bear steak for the boys
at supper around the mess wagon that
night and fine rug for the pretty
schoolmarm he quickly loosened his
rope and threw it. A few turns over
the saddlehorn, at the same time spur
ring his horse, and the shock came.
1t was very severe, for unluckily the
bears fore leg as well as his head was
through the loop Of the rope. Tom was
about to drop the rope like hot cake
when his horse suddenly put his head
down and started bucking in true
broncho style.
Thomas didn't last long. He suffered
when he struck the ground, but he didn't
linger in the vicinity to ascertain the
extent of his injuries. He started for
the top Of butte close at hand, and, al
though an Indifferent sprinter, he man
aged to make very fair time.
Looking back from his position OF
comparative safety. he could see that
both animals had become entangled In
the rope and were having it ont in great
style, making frantic efforts to free
themselves. The rope finally parted,
and away they went in opposite direc-
lions, or, as he expressed it, "they quit
the country, hitting only the high
!. spots. ''--C Chicago Record.

what pnsseA netween Them.

Two men of moro or less bibulosity
who had always been friends got into a
row one night which ended in one get
ting pretty badly battered and the other
being arrested for assault and battery.
On the trial one of the attorneys was
quite anxious to know why two such
friends had got into such trouble.
"Will you state just how the diff
Guilty originated" he inquired Of the
one ON the stand.
The witness told very much involv-
ed story.
"That isn't what want to know, :"
said the attorney sharply.
The witness made another try.
"That's no clearer than the other, 4"
objected the attorney. "Can't you tell
just what passed between you and moth
ing more?'
The face of the witness showed a
light in it.
"Oh," he said, ''is that what you
want to know"
"Of course it is. Tell that and no
more -"
"Well, as near as l can remember,
there were 10 beers, four whiskies, two
gin fizzes, two Manhats, one brandy
and one vermouth, one bottle of cham
pagne"--
That's enough" interrupted the at
torney "All the rest is easily explain
ed now. Detroit Free Press.

ALover of Tobacco.

1t is said that the camel is a lover OF
tobacco. Let any one smoke a pipe or
cigar in the camel compound, and the
camel will follow the smoker about,
place his nose close to the burning to-
bacco, inhale the fumes, with a long
sniff, swallow the smoke, then throwing
his head up, with mouth agape and eyes
upturned, showing the bloodshot whites,
will grunt sigh of ecstasy that WOULD
make the fortune Of low comedian in
a love scene Bow Bells.

Goldthwaite's Geographical Maya
zine is authority for the statement that
the temperature of the earth increases
ono degree on an average for each 90
feet of descent into its interior, basing
its conclusions on observations made at
the great shaft at Sperenberg, Germany,
which is tho deepest boring ever made
by man., 172 feet. At such rate of
increase the earths temperature of only
200 miles is 10, 900 degrees above the

ditch by the roadside. There he lay be-
moaning his fate when the next regi-
ment came up, and hearing his means
some of the men fastened to his rescue.
AS they stood him on his feet, be-
draggled and demoralized, he turned to

souEICK1Na A JUEKErINa Love.
Recording Secretary. -

Secretary Herbert has been the target Tor
good deal Of uncaIed-for criticism because
he refused to send a naval officer or officers
to watch Oriental war fare from the deck Of
one OF tho combating vessels.
To begin with, it would occur to almost any
sane individual that this government would
have TO possess a large amount Of healthy
nerve to consider itself warranted in asking
any such permission. fthe japanese or the
Chinese have any novel methods Of warfare it
is safe TO presume that they are anxious to
keep such valuable slaughter receipts 10 them
selves.
Again. Secretary Herbert wisely remem-
bers that not few OF these ships are at present
doing duty as marine morgues at the bottom
Of the sea. and he does not care TO risk the
lives OF any OF our extensively trained naval
talent on any such FOOLS errand.
True. an American army officer is watching
operations trem the rear Of the japanese
army. but he can run away when danger IS
imminent. Besides, success in land battles IS
q question Of position and strategy. Therefore
either side could have little objection to the
presence Of an army officer from neutral
nation
Those naval gentlemen who banker after an
Oriental junketing tour should take some
thing for that CORY feeling.

A GRATUIT0Us INSULT.

The editor Of a New York insurance jour
nal went out Of his way at an underwriters
convention in Chicago yesterday to make
cruel and unwarranted attack upon the Jews
IN the United States. lie declared that "the
average Jew risk is twice as apt TO burn as
what he called an American risk"
It is creditable to those who composed the
convention that his assertions found but few
supporters, and that the statistics be brought
forward, as well as the deductions he drew
from them, were declared radically wrong.
There may be dishonest and diskonorable
men among the Jews. as there are also among
Christians. but as q class no more honorable
fair-dealing, law-abiding people can be found.
AS rule they are scrupulous in the fulfill
meut OF every obligation, and in proportion
10 their numbers but few violations Of law
can be charged against them. A Jew in jail
or in the penitentary is "rara avis.
In every community, be it large or small,
the Jewish merchants rank among the most
enterprising. They never fail 10 do their
share in public undertakings, and are exact
and fair in al their dealings. There are ex-
ceptions, Of course, but these exceptions
point the rule.
The editor referred to was guilty Of 3 gra-
tuitous insult, which wiz hurt him far more
IN the estimation OF all right-thinking people
than those at whom il was aimed.
