woConvfncing Reasons,

Lord Peterborough, who lived in the
reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic-
some, and one day seeing from his car
riage dancing master with pearl col
ored stockings lightly stepping over the
broad stones and picking his way in ex-
tremely dirty weather he alighted and
ran after him with drawn sword in Or
der to drive him into the mud, but into
which he of course followed himself.
This nobleman was once taken for the
Duke Of Marlborough and was mobbed
in consequence. The duke was then in
disgrace with the people, and Lord Pc
terborough was about to be roughly
handled. Turning to them, he said:
"Gentlemen, can convince you by
two reasons that am not the Duke OF
Marlborough In the first place, | have
only guineas in my pocket, and in the
second they are heartily at your serv-
ice. '-Sala' S Journal.

Not long ago the Prince Of Wales was
one of a house party, his host being
well known peer. After dinner the roy
al guest, the host and the other male WIS.,
itors repaired to the billiard room. On a
table at the side were two or three boxes
of cigars, and the prince was helping
himself to one, when an ambitious mill
ionaire approached him, and taking
from his pocket cigar case held it out
to the prince, saying, Il think, sir. you
will find these better"
"Mr. --,'' replied the prince, "if
a mans dinner is good enough for me,
his cigars are good enough for me. -

that the senators are 1.-THE most peace

though some of them are particular.
One senator, he says he has twice shaw

his beard grows so fast, but because the
senator likes the sensation Another
senator 'has pair of little side whis-
kers of which he is fond and to which
he devotes any amount of attention. -
He did not reveal all this to any sena-

was communicated he said with a de-
spairing tone, ''You know we are not
allowed to talk to our senatorial GUS
toners unless they talk to us first. Who

Princess Marie of Greeee.

Princess Marie of Greece is the prin-
cess whose name has been SO frequently
mentioned of late as bride for the
Russian czarowitz. She is IS years OF
age, belongs to the same religion as
the czarowitz and might make him
good wife were it not for the fact that
she happens to be his first cousin, her
father, King George, being brother Of
the czarina. And there is nothing which
the canons of the Greek church more
strictly prohibit than matrimonial I'M

The civil list OF salary of King Hum

Newspaper Advertising,

How much money is spent annually
in newspaper advertising? Probably
any estimate less than $500, 600, 600
would fall short Of the facts. Some
single firms have spent as much as

enormous sums requires a large ma

After the Wedding.

"How soon should calls upon bride
be made?" is question that has been
frequently asked. Calls upon bride
should be made very soon after her re-
turn from her wedding trip, if no day
for such has been designated, and as
immediate visit must be paid to her
mother or person at whose house the re-
ception was held. The bride returns
her calls soon and so far as possible in
the order in which they are made. Her
neglect to acquit herself of these debts
would be inexcusable, and person so
careless would deserve to be socially
forgotten. Free Press.

A Ruined Wedding Cake.


An English gentleman residing i'll
Calcutta brought an action against a
firm of Paris pastry cooks and confec-
TONERS under rather interesting circum-
stances. The plaintiff was about to be
married and ordered what has been call
ed a phenomenal wedding cake from
the defendants. A sum of $3.50 was
paid down for the cake on delivery.
The colossal and expensive article of
confectionery was packed by the plain
ifs order, and he took it with him to
Calcutta. On opening the case contain
ing the cake when he arrived in India,
the Englishman found that he had lit
orally nothing but shapeless mass of
crumbs. The splendid gateau had been
hopelessly bruised and broken during
the voyage.
An action was then brought against
the Paris firm for sum OF $135, which
included, besides the price paid for the
cake, the cost Of packing and transport.
The defendants maintained before the
Paris tribunal of commerce that they
had no more responsibility after they
had delivered over the cake to the per-
son who ordered it. It was true that
they recommended a packer, but that
expert acted under the orders Of another
individual, who had been selected by the
plaintiff to superintend the operation.
The tribunal decided in favor Of the de-
PENDANTS. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Not for the footprint but the thought of God
They worshiped wisdom ins the Christening

His upper lip, and a faint line

The world has braved.

But she las noticed nothing strange,
And so is mute.
Apparently she does not know
His upper lip is clothed, although

And he, for his part, must be blindl
It never enters his dull mind
Why she today
Looks so unusually we'll,
So trim and modest, yet SO swell

That gives her all this loneliness,
Without dispute.

Ger all her thoughts hold potent sway

1919, and therefore when Princess
now Queen-Victoria was exactly z
months old, bears upon the point raised:
1.-THE Duke Of Kent gave the name of
Alexandria to his daughter in com
pliment to the emperor of Russia.
She was to have had the name Of Georg-
lana, but the duke insisted upon Alex
andrina being her first name. The re-
gent sent for Lieven, the Russian en-
bassador, and made him a great many
compliments-en lie persifant-on the
emperor being godfather, but inform
ed him that the name of Georgiana
could be second to no other in this coun
try, and therefore she could not bear it
at all
1t was accordingly as Alexandria
Victoria that the infant princess was
baptized on June "a, 1819.-Notes and
