the few impressive things connected
with nineteenth century royalty
The Gar, being an absolute des-
pot, cannot be said to have an Off
cial residence, for the chair Of state
wherever he sits is the throne OF
Russia, But in the palace Of Pc
tersburg, there is an apartment In
which his Imperial Majesty's adj
vlsers assemble on such occasions as
it suits him to call them together
officially.
1t is an immense marble hall, with
an Enclosure at one end vaguely sug-
gestive Of a cathedral altar On a
dals, formed by an elevation Of some
steps, stands the throne itself,
The very few to whom dread Of
Nihilists has not denied access to the
royal parsonage in state pronounce
the chair triumph in ivory and gold
and costly woods The jewels gilt
tering all over 1t would alone enrich
a state, on the authorityof Gortscha-
koff himself The rests are four
heavy pillars, representing, at their
extremitles, bears claws The arms
seem great tusks, gnarled and twist
ed like the roots OF a centenaran
oak.
The back Is Enthusiastically elaborate,

birds, may be said ever TO assume u
favorlte armorlal pose of the king OF
beasts, iiaring consplcuously in gold

despot seats himself, gives him the
air of a snow image, The ceremo-
MES in which the Russian throne hg-
ures are largely religious, the Gar
being head Of both church and state,
and 1t is not strange, therefore, that
this mere chair has become an obiect
almost Of veneration in the land OF
the Romanolfs.

Located In Wales.

The home life CT a man like Mr..
GLADSTONE is always interesting, and
in his case the contemplation OF his
domestic relations becomes all the
more pleasant from the fact that he
has not only a typical English home
but in that home leads a typical
English home life. The personality
Of this remarkable man has be n so
long before the public that anything
concerning him and his may be con-
sidered as, in a measure at least, pub
lie petty, and so it happened that
few homes in England, aside from
those pertaining to royalty are bet
ter known than the quiet, retired
mansion where the famous eX-Prem-
Ter has spent me- st Of his leisure time
during the last half century. Ha-

transferred thither In an even shorter
time when occasion demands.
The neighborhood of Mr.. Glad
stones residence is one Of the most
romantic districts of Wales. Not far
distant is the famous Castle of Con-
way, founded on a rock by the sea-
side, a fortress that, during the days
OF the Welsh wars, proved an effec-
tive barrier to the excursions Of the
hardy mountaineers, who, in spite of
the stoutest efforts of the Anglo
Norman kings, could not be COM
pletely subdued. At Conway the
slaughter of the Welsh bards oc-
Cured, a piece OF barbarity dictated
by the English policy, the Edwards
finding that the most decided imped-
iment to English conquest was the
national spirit kept alive by the ma
tional musicians. Still nearer to the
Hawarden residence is the famous
Fairy Glen, where, according to pop
ular tradition, the fairies last lin
gered in North Wales, and where,
some believe, they may still OCCASION
ally be seen. A beautiful spot it Is,
shut in by cliffs, a pretty stream
wandering over rugged, moss
covered powders, the giant
oaks forming an arch overhead,
and the rocks on either hand throw
ing their deep shadows on the pools
beneath. There are not many be-
levers in fairies now to be found,
even among the credulous Welsh
peasantry, but the beauty Of such Sc
Guided caves as this furnishes a
strong temptation to the perpetual
tion Of the belief, and even a deni-
zen Of another land, accustomed to
the rattle of the railway train, the
click Of the telegraph, and the glare
of the electric light would not,
among surroundings such as those Of
the Fairy Glen, be greatly surprised
II the little folk clad in green should
come tripping from their caves and
begin a dance over the surface of the
powders.
But the good people, as the fairies
are called in Wales and Ireland, have
no local habitation in the neighbor-
hood Of the Gladstone house, unless
it be in the ruins of the old Hawar-
den Castle, which stand only few
yards from the more modern home Of
the statesman. Hawarden Castle, in
its original form, was one of the
primitive forts which the ancient
Bretons constructed for the purpose
of resisting the encroachments Of
their neighbors, whoever the latter
might be. For those were days
when everybody had habit Of en-
croaching on everybody else, whether
he had a preteXt or not. The fact
that one chieftain had something an
other wanted was sufficient reason
for the latter to try to get it.
The little round towers which the
petty chieftains built for their own
residences were then to be found on
every hilltop in Wales, where scores
of them still stand. Hawarden was
one of these, though after the Con

Cody's Biography Written Abroad.
The following sketch Of Buffalo
Bill Is credited to an English paper
by the Savannah News
"The cablegrams announce that
Colonel Cody, who will be we'll re-
membered In London, has returned
as Mayor of Nebraska. No better
selection could be made Colonel
Cody was u friend Of man named
Boon, who discovered Kentucky In
1869, After marrying the grand
daughter of distinguished gentle
man named Sitting Bull Frog, Cody
was twice Governor of Chicago, and
at one time was made Mayor Of the
Arkansas Legislature. He also served
in the Confederate army under BEN
Butler, who so gallantly defended
New Orleans against General Long
street, The province of Detroit re-
warded him for his military service
by sending him to Congress- where he
introduced bill for the relief Of the
citizens of Buffalo, 1t was in this
that he got his name Of Buffalo Bill.
While Mr.. Cody has large ranch In

castles, naturally learns to associate
the term with towers and bulwarks,
with curtain walls and trenches and
meats and drawbridges, with a gigan-
tic keep or central edi1ce, surrounded
by great variety and extent of out
works, all so massive, so solid, so
strongly built that the hills them
selves seem scarcely more permanent.
What is his surprise, therefore, when,
after passing through a large park,
we'll kept as is usual with English
parks, he comes in sight of a brick
house built in somewhat tawdry imi-
tation of a medieval fortress, with
towers that command nothing, with
curtain walls that are all windows,

hearted people, and everywhere he
goes Mr.. Gladstone is treated with a
consideration that shows how hearty
and sincere is the respect felt for him,
Men stand at the wayslde and un-
cover as he walks by; women curtesy
in the quaint old Welsh fashion, and
every window in the village is filled
with heads as the great man passes
They have seen him thousands of
times, but that fact does not in the
least diminish either their interest or
their reverence, and, If sure of moth

ONLY A RAT,

But He Drew Crowd and Had Lots oil
Fun.
A boy ten years old suddenly APP
peared on Monroe avenue, near Ran
dolph street, the other forenoon with
a rat.trap held high in his hand. The
trap contained rat-an old veteran
who had probably eaten twenty
times his weight in Michigan cheese.
For years and years he had been too
fly for those who sought his destruc-
tion, but the pitcher had gone to the
well once too often. He was sQueal-
ing and squlrming about, but there
was no one to pity. The boy had
scarcely gained the street when there
was a rush for him, and men and
boys were heard shouting
Hes got rat"
"Lemme git my dog"
Good gracious, what whopper"
Don't let him git away"
The manrwho knows all about rats
was there, of course, Also the man
who has made the killing Of rats a
speciality all his life. They worked
their way to the front,
"You don't want to fool with that
rat" cautioned the first,
al think | know my business"
bluntly replied the second.
$50 do l.,
Don't interfere with me"
Three or four dogs were brought
into the crowd. The man who Is
always willing to boss the job also
got off a street car and elbowed his
way in to demand:
whats all this fuss about? A rat,
eh! Now, then, everybody stand back.
Gimme that trap"
The boy demurred. 1t was his trap
and his rat. He felt that he ought
to be consulted.
where's your rat?"
Somebody hit the man with red
necktie."
A policeman now appeared. He
began to use his official elbows to
open a path tor his body, but the
crowd resented the action, and began
to hustle him until he threatened to
collar some one. Meanwhile the two
men who knew all about rats were
iawlng with the man who wanted tC
boss the job, and the boy was declar'
ing that his brother would lick the
man who stole his rodent
"Youre a liar"
"Hit him one" -,.,,
"Look out for the cop"
The crowd began to circle around,
and the boy fell down and lost his
trap Some one picked it up and
shook the rat out, and dogs and men
and boys were all mixed up, and fall
ing over each other, In the confu-
sion the rat got away into the sewer,
the policeman raped three men on
the back with his club, and the crowd
dissolved, leaving about dozen hats
kicking around on the battle-ground.
Then a lot of people shook their fists
in the air, and another lot called
somebody a liar, and everybody went
away mad and threatening to get
even if it took him whole year.
