Two Little Americans ~ tho Court g
Christian of Denmark.

Two Little Americans ~ tho Court -
Christian of Denmark.
Virginia Yeaman Remnitz, IN St.
Nicholas, tells true story OF the adj
ventures of two young Americans al
the court Of the king of Denmark
They were children of the American
minister, and had been invited to .
childrcn's party at the palace. Here Is
what followed:
1t was to Ellen never-to-bc-forgot-
ten night. The crowds of happy chill
drcn; the great room, brilliantly
lighted; the strains of music; the pres
ence of real king and queen--all COM
bined to make the scene fairy land,
wherein events took place which mndc
Ellen feel herself sort of fairy queen,
The king opened the ball with Ellen.
Hardly understanding the honor, some
sense of it nevertheless thrilled her
childish heart She could not even sec
his face, so tall was he, but his strong
arms bore her around and around, she
knew not how, for Ellen danced with
rs little precision and method as the
leaves on a tree, or the ripplcs In q
lake. Yet all through her being she selS
that she was dancing with the king. 1t
seemed but fitting, after that dance, to
find herself seated on the sofa between
the king and queen. With royal disre-
gard to the claims of other smnll guests,
and with ropal indifference to the eff
feet upon little Ellen, they lifted her up
between them. She looked pretty,
natural and unconscious, and was herr
self little queen in all her ways! While
Ellen sat there, too happy and pleased
to feel proud, the other children danced
on.
With no thought of initiating their
elders in manner or motion, the young
dancers abandoned themselves with
childish freedom and simplicity to the
enjoyment of the hour. Those who
had never been trained in the different
steps adapted their movements to the
promptings of happy hearts and light
feet, and were ne contented as the

others. And little Ellen rested COM
fortably between the king and queen
until she was ready to dance again.
The evening wore on, and Ellen was
overcome with WEAKNESS and Sleep
Slipping away from the children, who
now were whirling around in some
dizzy game, she threw herself on a
couch. just as the scene grew misty
to her eyes and the dazzling events Of
the evening began to weave them
selves into the suggestion of a dream,
she was aroused by some one asking:
where did you get your pretty pink
slippers, ELEM" and she opened her
eyes. Why was the king sitting beside
her and talking to her when she was SO
sleepy? She had n confused idea that
he ought to put on his crown, and ait
on throne. please, Mr.. King,
don't bower me; I'm so Sleepy" and
Ellen, turning her face upon royalty,
slipped away to her pleasing dreams.
Little Ellen, little Ellen" said the
king, musingly, ''it is not often hear
the truth so plainly told, and it is re-
freshing to my ears"

Plutarch mentions a sagacious dog

The SOULS QUESTION.

am sitting alone in the twilight gray,
The fading light OF q summers day;
While the tinted clouds In the western sky
Tell OF the brightness already gone by;
And nights sable mantle will soon be spread
Like funeral pail DER day that Is dead.
And the angel OF sleep-how welcome guesti
VIII quietly lull the weary to rest.
And sit and think; II am growing old
And the days OF my life will soon be told;
And ask in the gathering darkness, why
Must all things beautiful fade and die:
Is life, sweet life, as brief as 1t seems?
Is Heaven only one OF our dreamsg
Or. Is there place where there Is no night
Then why so hid from our mortal sighti'
But hear a voice, tender and low:
Child OF the Infinite, modest thou know.
Though clouds and darkness encompass the
throne,
Surely the Lord will take care OF His own.
Hath He not kept thee through good and
through i'll?
Cease thy questioning: wait and be still
Canst thou not trust In q Fathers lover
List to the voices around and above"
The fading light groweth yet more dim,
And nature Is chanting her vesper hymn;
Yea. all the myriad voices without
Seem to say to me: "Shame on thy doubt"
Even the insects trustfully sing:
Under Thy wing, we are under Thy wing!"

The night comesh on, and lift my eyes
To the distant glowing, fathomless skies
Sure the heavens declare. In this quiet hour,
The glory of God, His wisdom and power.
The touch OF His finger the stars obey,
And loyfully go their appointed way;
Yet He who made them and keepeth them
there,
Bsndeth an ear to whispered prayer.
And say as I feel the touch OF hand:
II seek not, ask not. to understand
What He, in His wisdom, sees fit to hide
While under His care safely abide"
And To- as my soul abandons her quest,
There cometh to me such Heavenly rest
Underneath are infinite arms; and so
IL is sweet to feel that need not know.

A French arch@ologist, M. Charles
Wiener, had occasion to measure the
height of an interesting Indian obser-
vatory in Peru. The ancient structure
stood at the top of precipice, at the
foot of which ran a river. The under
taking seemed simple enough, but it
proved to be an exciting adventure,
with some painful results. M. Wiener
thus describes it:

GETTING A LIGHT.
Peep Into Phase OF Human Nature That
Is Known Only to nlen Who Smoke.


Is Known Only to nlen Who smoke.
Both were standing on the corner of
Washington and Illinois streets the
other afternoon waiting for car, and
as one asked the other for light this
naturally started little squirt of con-
versation between them. They were
total strangers, but this never makes
any difference with men who are habit
ual smokers. Let one man hand an
other match or cigar for the other
to grind away at while trying to con-
tract some combustion and there
passes between them some subtitle,
magnetic current of affinity which
makes them draw almost as closely to-
gether as do their cigars when the fire
is being transferred
OF the two the fat man appeared
happy and contented, while the thin
man looked dyspeptic and thoughtful
The former was trying to absorb some
fire from the latter's cigar and for a
moment they stood motionless and in
tent upon the struggle for light
The fat man jabbed the borrowed
cigar into the end of his cheroot,
twisted it around, pushed, mumbled,
pulled and drew with his cheeks oscil-
lating out and in like bellows, took
his cigar out of his mouth and looked
at it, stuck it back, surveyed the
Jagged and broken end of the thin
mans cigar moment, to see if he had
put it out, too, and then showed it at
him.
Better smoke up little"
The thin man put his battered cigar
into his face and began vigorously
drawing to renew the spark of life that
had been all but extinguished. Having
coaxed his weed back to life, he placed
it again in the hand Of the corpulent
gentleman.
The twisting, grinding process was
renewed, and as the walls of the thin
mans cigar began to crumble feeble
puff of smoke burst from the fat mans
mouth.
Guess you've got itr' exclaimed the
thin man, excitedly and in tones of tri-
umph.
But the puffs didn't become any
larger and as the thin mans cigar had
now been worn down to a charred,
shaggy stump the fat man was about
to give it up and throw both cigars
away, when suddenly his cigar re-
sponded and a cloud of smoke issued
forth from his mustache.
"A-a-ah!" exclaimed both in tones of
profound relief, and as the thin man
revived the smoldering embers in the
remains of his own fine cigar, which he
had just lighted before the fat man
came up, the two surveyed each other
complacently. Both were now smok-
ing contentedly.
