his cousin was to fire.
With hands clasped behind his back, he
stood facing the man he had chosen to kin

QUEEN vICToRIA's BOSS.
She Had One In Mrs. Mussens, House
keeper at Ba almoral.


Queen Victoria has just sustained a
severe loss by the death of Mrs. Mussens,
who, from time immemorial, had been her
housekeeper at Balmoral Thoughunknown
to the public at large, she was an important
parsonage in the eyes of everybody con-
nected with the court, as she was one of the
few who had the courage to talk up to
her majesty, and even on occa sion to de-
liberately boss" her august mistress.
Once when the queen wanteda certain maid
to whom she had taken a fancy detailed
to the care of her own room, Mrs. Mussens
demonstrated in the strongest fashion,
telling her majesty that it was quite out of
order, and she really must not spoil the ser
wants by taking undue notice of them. The
queen, as usual, gave wa and dear Mrs.
Mussens'' won the day. She was typical
parsonage of her class, gowned always In
black silk, lace-trimmcd apron and white
cap, with corkscrew curls. She and the
queen were excellent frineds, and her ma jesty
used to delight in her conversation. She
also stood high in the faovr of the royal
grandchildren, who used to seek her out as
soon as they arrived at the castle. But to
the world at large she was holy terror,
and with the servants and members of the
household she was infinitely more exacting
and fmperious than the queen herself.

A Choctaw execution possessed Of some
very interesting features occurred a short
time ago at Fort Smith. Folsom, think,
was the name Of the victim. He died like a
hero.
Folsom was a youth of about twenty,
handsome, stalwart, and brave. He had
been released upon parole immediately upon
being sentenced to death. He gave his
word that he would be on hand at the time
set for his execution. then went about his
business, as IL nothing unusual had hap

fifty horses were hitched to the bushes
around the place where the shooting was to
take place. The hour set for the execution
was l O'Clock. 1t was near that time, but

Notes and Queries
The following, which happened to my
1 self. is a strange coincidence. Before

During that time l paid four short
visits to England, and on each occa sion
visited the grave OF my father and
mother, which is In a small village church

hundreds OF miles from what were my.

village has no clergyman. but is served by
one residing four miles away.

six weeks some years ago, !, at the monument
OF my arrival in the cburchyard found a
clergyman, whom / afterward found to be
the curate, standing by the tomb OF my
father and mother. and skiing the old sexton
who their heirs were.
1t appeared that that very morning the
vicar had received letter asking that ques=
tion. The letter was from a speculating
London lawyer, OF whom Ihad never before
heard. who had seen my fathers name ip
a list of unclaimed legal deposits, and had
written on the chance OF a client. NJ father
had been dead thirty years. That the
amount in question was a small one does
not affect the strangeness of the coin
cidence.
During the throes of my changing resi-

friend asking him to consult a certain
