WHIPPED A PRINCE.
How Peer tom" Bcnton Fell Foul on Epg
lands Future King.


Tom Benton occupied for many year
lin fact, until his death-a responsible
position in the household of Queen Vic
toria. Benton, who was Of humble birth
was but q lad at Brighton when his par
ents died within n few months Of eacl
other. II was shortly after these event,
when the queens attention was called
10 the young boy under rather peculiar
circumstances.
One day, while Benton was gathering
shells on the beach at Brighton to make
pincushions, which he sold to the sum
mer visitors, a young boy, nicely dress.
ed and about his own age, appeared
upon the scene and scattered, with q
vigorous kick. tho accumulated shells.
Benton gathered up his treasures, and
placing them again in a pile warned the
intruder that if he repeated the trick he
would give him a "good licking"
The kick was repeated with ever moro
vigor than before, and the shells were
sent flying in every direction. True to
his word, the ''poor boy" soundly
thrashed the stranger. II was q close
contest at first, as the lads were quite
evenly matched, but the more fully de-
veloped strength Of Benton finally
brought him Off victorious.
Just as the melee was over a gentle
man and lady approached, and the for
mer said lyon did quite right, young
man. We have seen the whole transact
ton. This boy il our son, but no was
the aggressor and received the thrashing
he well merited." A number Of cues
tions were asked the Lad as to himself
and his family. The replies told the
boys life, how the death of his parents
had brought poverty to himself and his
brothers and sisters.
"This is the queen" said the gentle
man, who was o other than Prince
Albert, land tho young man to whom
you administered such q merited whip
ping is the Prince Of Wales" Turning
to the prince, he continued: "You must
send his young man to school and pay
for his tuition out of your own pocket
money. That cannot add to your punish.
ment, but can benefit this poor lad with
whom You picked such an uncalled for
quarrel"
Thus it was that Tom Benton met the
queen Of England. He was sent to q
school about midway between Portland
and Dover. After completing his studies
there he wa taken into her majesty's
and remained there his entire
life. Between Benton and the Prince Of
Wales there was a strong bond Of friend

DEAR OLD LADY.
She Was Going to "Alberts" and Reached
There Safely.

She Was Going to "Albert's' and Reached
There Safely.
An old woman wearing q pair of gold
eyeglasses was u passenger on one of the
trains from Buffalo to New York. She
had come through from the west, and
the nervous way in which she gathered
her bundles around her and the number
OF questions she asked all showed that
she was not accustomed to travelling.
When tho trainboy came through with
his assortment Of books, she confided to
him the facts that she was going to New
York to see her son and that she had
not seen him for over a year. She grew
talkative and said:
my son Albert's n great preacher.
He il a Methodist, and l am a MStho-
dist. / taught him when he was q little
bit of q boy what was right and what
was wrong. He hasn't been back to see
me for over a year. I live way out in
Missouri, and he couldn't get ava this

sent for me to come ON. He breaches in

in selling her a copy Of "The Quick or

1t was a Methodist religious book. When
he left her, she began to read it, calmly
at first, then %nervously, until she grew
tired. Then she began to nod, and final
~ the book slipped to the floor. The
gray hair reposed ON tho cushion Of the
palace a seat, and its owner dozed
peacefully.
The conductor came through to col
lect tickets, and seeing the peaceful
sleep OF his passenger was loath to wake
her. Finally he leaned over and shook
her gently and said:
where are you going, mother?"
ITO Albert's," was the quick reply
a. the eyes behind the glasses opened,
and the old oma looked around her
for q moment, still unable to tell where
she was. The motherly response touch
ed q sympathetic chord in the con-
ductor's heart, and he carefully looked
after her until the end Of the trip and
saw her rush into Albert's arms half
laughing, half crying. New York
