Curious Bulls and Blunders.

Sir Boyle Roche once made the in
quiry in the house of commons when
measure was up looking to the advan-
tage of posterity: Mr. Speaker, OBJ
iect, and demand to know what pos
terity has done for u.s." The mistake
of the celebrated bull maker is not a
whit more ridiculous than many make
as to their ancestors by people who
should know better. The prince of
Wales should know the history of his
own family, yet on one occasion he
spoke of Queen Elizabeth-''the virgin
queen" of the tories-as his ancestor.
The German kaiser has just made a
similar blunder. In writing to the
CARLYLE committee of London, who had
appealed to him to help establish a
memorial to the author of the best his
tory of Frederick the Great, he said:
81 am myself a descendant of the Great
Frederick" As the Great Frederick
died without children, and was sue
ceeded by his nephew, the kaiser's
claim shows either ignorance of the
English language or of German history.

How Edward, Prince of Wales Won tho
sobriquet of Black Tr<ee.
In the summer of the year 1916 Ed
ward III. crossed the English channel
with 10000 men to invade France. At
Crecy, not far from the Seine, he was
met on the 26th of August by King
Phillip with $50, men. The English
army was formed in three lines and oc-
cupied a small eminence. After tho SOL
diers had been confessed, Edward rode
up and down the ranks, bidding each
man to fight for St. George and the
dragon, and 80 sweetly and with so
good countenance and merry cheer did
he speak, that all took courage on hear
ing him"
While the French were coming on in
great disorder, there was total eclipse
of the sun, accompanied by 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 $1,000 Genoese bowmen, who came
forward with shout as though to
scare the English. The latter, who had
been ordered to lie fat on the ground,
now arose, stepped forward pace, and
let go their arrows so fast that they
seemed like binding snow. The Geno-
csc fled 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, determined to capture or kill

great danger. At one time he was I'M

upon it till the enemy was forced back.
Soon as the tide of battle had turned
for the English, Edward came down
from high hill overlooking the field
and took his son in his arms and kissed
him. "You are my true son. Right

so absurd, you know, Clement, +" she
said that same evening as she re-
peated the ''silly nonsense" to her
lover, because Uncle Josh isn't really
old at all-not much over forty-five,
and certainly looks ten years younger
and if he really loves Kate why
shouldn't he marry her, if she isn't
in love with somebody else? That is
the only impediment--and If any two
people are really in love with each
other, nothing in the world can pre-
vent them from marrying each other"
"Oh, you wise little girl" laughed
her lover, looking down into the brown
eyes that looked up in eager question
ing. "All the sages since the world
began never spoke more truly" And
then he kissed the rosy lips that pout-
ingly declared he was always laugh
ing at her because in his conceit he
imagined that only poets knew any
thing about love.

ODD PAINTINGS.
Children That Get Great Sport Ont OF
Old Bobtau Street Cars.


Can any child fancy more fascs-
mating plaything, even if it is little
big, than real street car? That Is
what some Boston (Mass.) and Roches-
ter IN. " children are having, and II
must be lots Of fun. When the trolley
cars were introduced the old bobtal
cars, as they are called, those that
needed no conductor, were of no earth
Iy use. What to do with them nobody
knew, until some father had the bright
thought to buy one for his children.
He did so, and it was drawn to the yard
and turned over to the youngsters,
Then sport began. The bell would
ring, the windows move up and down,
the change window was all right, the
back door would shut when a cord was
pulled on the front platform; the car
was in excellent condition, and as
fun-producer it simply had no equal
The boys, and girls, too, were never
tired of its delights, and pretty soon
every child was clamoring for a street
car. A good many have got them, for
they could be bought for about five
dollars while the supply lasted.-N. \.

THE DIFFERENCE.

When the winds of winter beat
Little Bunny's hollow tree.
For blanket round his feet
Close his bushy tall tucks he.
Never mind how loud the storm,
Sound he sleeps and snug and warm.
When the little honey-bees
See the snow come powdering down
On their roof beneath the trees
In their pleasant Beehive Town,
Then away to bed they creep,
AL the winter long they sleep
But when little busy Ned
Hears the noisy north wind blow,
Out he rushes with his sled,
For he loves the whirltng snow.

Lose the fun that winter brings.

pretended to hum the music of "Auld
Robin Gray" and finally she received
confirmation strong that her uncle was
not going to remain bachelor long,
when Kate, something between smiles
and tears, one day EMBODIED her in
warm embrace and asked her how she
would like to call her ''aunty."
''Then it is really true!" exclaimed
Jenny. "Oh, you darling! l am de-
lighted!'
"And it will really make no differ
ence?" asked Kate anxiously. "Oh,
Jenny dear, if it will, not even all my
love for Mr.. North will induce me to
bring shadow on your life"
sHow, dear Kate? l don't know
what you mean. I tell you l am de-
lighted! Uncle John is far too good
and noble to go through life minated
and unloved only to grow into crusty
old bachelor at the last. Nothing in
my life, except when Clement told me
he loved me, has given me such pleas
sure as to know that you love Uncle
John and that you have promised to
marry him."
"And Clement? But of course he
loves you, Jennie, darling, for your
self, but Therese is so madly in love
with him herself, and somehow hear
ing everyone speak of his admiration
for her-and she is so beautiful, you
know-and of the fortune you would
inherit from your uncle, just allowed
myself to worry over things, but it's
all nonsense"
elements admiration for Therese?"
said Jenny, slowly, and Kate saw with
dismay that every vestige Of the bright
pomepranate red had faded from the
round brown cheek and strange, hag-
gard look had come over the features,
making the sweet face of Jenny Wren
look very old and pinched, almost as If
age and grief had fallen on her all in
a moment.
..Of course he admired her! He al
ways did! Who doesn't? And no one
more than dol" she said, with sudden
self-assertion, and the color came back
to her face and she chatted gayly, but
could never remember one word of
what she had said nor just when Kate
had kissed her good-by and gone away.
But after awhile she realized that she
was alone. Her hands, tightly twisted
together, dropped into her lap and her
head bent above them, while subdued
convulsive sobs shook her slight form
and scalding tears fell from her burn
ing eyes.
"He loves Therese, and he marries
me to gain my uncle's money"
This was the thought which scared
her heart and brain as again and again
it beat itself out to the measure of
these bitter words.
Yes, she could no longer doubt it.
Some such thought had tried to force
itself upon her many, many times be-
fore, but she would not listen. Now
she must listen, for Kate, who loved
her and who had thought that she
ought to know what others had said.
in order that they might prove 1t false,
had told her In plainest words just
what they said. And now hundred
things came back to her. the meaning
of which she would not before see or
understand, and she remembered the
