FOR HIS BRAVERY.
How Edward. Prince OF Wales. Won the
Title Of Black Prince.


In the summer Of the year 1346 Ed
ward III crossed the English channel
with 80, 900 men to invade France. At
Crecy. not far from the Seine, he was
met on the Goth of August by King
Philip with 1S0. 900.
While the French were coming on
In great disorder there was a total
eclipse of the sun, accompanied byta
terrible storm, after which the sun came
out brightly, shining directly in the
faces of the French, but ON the backs of
the English.
The first charge was made by l5, 900
Genoese bowmen, who came forward
with shout, as though to scare the
English. The latter, who had been Or
dered to lie fat ON the earth, now arose,
stepped forward pace and let go their
arrows so fast that they seemed like
binding snow.
The Genoese fed, and the French king
ordered them to be cut down, so that
they would not hinder the rest of the
army.
In the meantime Edward, the prince
Of Wales, who was in command of one
division, was surrounded by French
knights, who, recognizing his rank, de-
termined to capture or kill him. A mes
sage was sent to the king telling him
that the prince was hard pressed.
SIS my son dead or hurt or on the
earth felled?" he asked
"No, sire" was the reply.
"Well, then, "said the king, return
to them that sent you and tell them to
send no more to me as long as my son
is alive. command them to suffer the
child to win his spurs, for this day
should be his. "
The young prince WIS indeed in great
danger. AT one TIM he was unhorsed
and struck to the ground, but one of his
Welsh knights, who carried the great
dragon standard, threw it over him as
he lay and stood upon it till the enemy
was forced back.
Soon the tide of battle had turned fo1
the English. Edward came down from
a high hill overlooking the field and
took his son in his arms and kissed him.
"You are my true son." he said.
"Right royalty have you acquitted your.
self and shown yourself to be sover.
eign."
Young Edward on this occasion vI ore

and the brilliantly fair complexion Of
his round, boyish face that he was call.

A great deal Of public mirth and oo-

Patti in her capacity of business woman.
The coolness with which she has always
demanded the largest possible price has
become as we'll known as her lovely

come historic.
When she was told that even the presi-
dent of the United States did not receive
nearly as much for his services as she
demanded for hers, she answered, Every

"Well," said the violinist, chow
many will the largest space contain

Bhort and Expressive Names For Popular
Flowers as Used by Florists.
That florists and florists clerks have
language of their own when it comes
to the making up of orders is an inter-
esting fact not appreciated by the young
man who wishes to send bunch of Vi
olets or roses to his best girl, or the fa-
ther of family in swelldom who re-
ceives large monthly bill for the dec
oration of his parlors. Respectfully and
deferentially does the florist stand by
customer and murmur the longest floral
names without abbreviations.
But when he and his assistants are
alone horticultural titles are clipped
short. The most cherished and expen-
sive blossoms, no matter how great their
dewy fragrance may be, are treated
with scant respect
1t is "Hey, Jimmy, dozen of those
NUNS. voice will cry. "And don't
forget that lot of tubes for Mrs.
Smith Smith" Indeed the ardent lover
of blossoms would be disenchanted if
she listened to the talk OF the trade for
brief half hour.
There are no rules of abbreyiation,
and some of the longest floral names are
never clipped, but spoken exactly as
they are written. Even the most igno-
rant florists clerk speaks precisely of
hyacinths, geraniums, mignonette, Ii
lacs, violets, poppies, magnolias, Or
chids, ivy, jasmine, phlox and carna-
tion pinks. His abbreviations are logical
as rule, and oftener than otherwise
he makes use of the first or last sound
of name.

LOST LOVE.
Who wins his love shall lose her,

Who wins his love shall lose her,
Who loses her shall gain,
For still the spirit woocs her,
A soul without stain,
And memory still pucslcs her
With longings not in vain!
He loses her who gains her,
Who watches day by day
The dust of time that stains her,
The gricfs that leave her gray,
The flesh that yet cnchains her
Whose grace hath passed awayl
Oh, happier he who gains not
The love some seem to gain.
The Joy that custom stains not
Shall still with him remain,
The lorelincss that wanes not,
The love that ne'er can wane.
He dreams she grows not older
The lands of dream among.
Though all the world wax colder,
Though all the songs be sung,
In dreams doth he behold her
Still fair ard kind and young.

The Postal Whistle.

New York undoubtedly has an admi-
rable mail service A city letter sent on
its way within business hours will get
there almost as quickly as a telegram,
and not infrequently quicker than a
messenger. The deliveries and collec-
tions are frequent, the carriers careful
and courteous, and blindly directed mis-
sives are generally delivered to their
owners after very short hunt. How
letters bearing only the name of COM
parative strangers are promptly deposit
ed in Office Or fiat boxes surprises stran-
gers When the postman drops letter
in your house box, or deposits paper or
packet on the tiles beneath it, he pulls
your bell and whistles. These postal
whistles are similar to those used by the
police. So when the bell jingles and the
whistling follows there's no need to
open the door or wonder who's there
You know all about it. The postal whis-
tie could be adopted with benefit else
