When Child Her Majesty Was Full OF
Resources.
When but mere child, writes Alfred
T. Story in the Windsor Magazine, her
majesty used to delight George w. by
her quick wit
One day when staying at the royal
lodge the king entered the drawing
room leading his little niece by the
hand. The band was stationed as
usual in the adjoining conservatory.
snow, Victoria" said his majesty" the
band is in the next room and shall play
any tune you please; what shall it bc?"
"Oh, uncle" replied the princess with
great readiness, 81 should like God
Save the King better than anything
else."
A similar instance Of childish quick
ness is related in regard to the queens
early studies in music:
Being one day required to practice at
the pianoforte, she objected, desiring
to know why it was necessary to spend
so much time in the drudgery of run
ming up and down scales. She was told
that there was no royal road to music,
and that she must practice like other
children. The little autocrat did not
agree with this, and quietly locked the
piano and put the key in her pocket,
saying: There, you see! There is no
must in the matter" Having made her
point, however, she was soon prevailed
upon to reopen the instrument, and SO
proceed with her lesson.

Born Q ClAaaIoIat.

A unique character was the late great
Prof. Blackie, Scotland's most learned
student Of Greek. His wife was talk
ing with him on his death-bed of the
three graces, and characterized them
with Greek word which, in the good
woman's pronunciation, bore an incor-
rect accent Her husband gently cor.
rected her, placing the accent where it
should be, and then breathed his last.
Speaking of this phenomenal aptitude
for Greek it was once facetiously re-
ported at Yale that when the present
Prof Hadley came into the world he
promptly announced his arrival in
laconic Greek phrase; whereupon his
father, the eminent professor of Greek
at Yale, quite as promptly informed the
Hellenic nurseling that he had used an
improper tense, and accordingly sup
Piled him with the right word.

REYNARD IN HARD LUCK.

Pursued ~ Hunters, lie Ran Into the Ioio
of u Zig lighting Coon.
Some Dutchess county fox hunters
had curious experience the other day
while out with the hounds. The hounds
ran an old fox dog SO fast through the
snow that in less than an hour lie
'holed," and the hunters had hard
work to dig through the frozen ground
and locate him, says the New York Sun.
The hickory withe, in which the fox
Is expected to insert his fangs so that
he can be drawn out, was inserted, but
It proved utterly useless in this case,
and 1t was agreed that something was
radically wrong with the fox, especially
as the hickory when it was pulled out
of the hole found to be covered with a
bloody foam. Growls and snarls were
heard in the hole, and the hunters
could see the red fur of the fox occa-
sionally as he twisted and turned in
his narrow quarters. The famous "old
man" Of the party at last pluckily
reached in, and taking hold of the hide
with his left hand, drew the fox slowly
toward him, slipping as he did so his
right hand up to the neck and grasping
the fox's throat with all his strength.
Then, holding the red chap up, he ex-
hibited badly whipped fox. Reynard's
lower jaw was broken and hung down
sideways on his blood-stained breast.
The long, red tongue, cruelty torn and
quivering, added ghastly grin to as
wicked-looking a countenance as the
hunters ever beheld. He was knocked
on the head instantly so as to end his
misery, and the hunters then proceeded
to finish the author of this mutilation,
a tremendous male coon.
This big fellow gave a great battle.
The narrow entrance to the hole pre-
vented any use of a gun, and it was
only after severe and exciting work
that he was finally dragged out and
thrown to the dogs, Even then he
nearly whipped them all, and a crow
bar had to be used to dispatch him.
He weighed twenty-four and three
quarter pounds, and was in magnificent
condition, and that the fox was no
match for him the appearance of Rey-
nard plainly showed. They had evi-
IDENTIFY been fighting to the death,
jaws locked, while the hunters were
digging, and thus the inability of the
fox to fasten his teeth in the hickory
withe was fully explained. The fox
must have made q poor defense. as there
were no serious wounds on the coon,
save those inflicted, probably, by the
hounds. The coon's gameness was
something phenomenal. Not once did
he show the slightest sign of fear, but
actually walked up to the dogs, like o
miniature grizzly bear. The hunters
almost regretted killing so brave crea-
ture,

OBITUARY..

Social and church circles were sad
dened last week by the death of one Of
our most promising young business men.
Frank E. VanAuken had been a resi-
dent of LOrain since December, 1898, and
had established prosperous business in
art and photography. In February, 1894,
he married Miss Edith c. Parker, Rev.
]. F. Smith, Of the Methodist Church,
performing the ceremony.
His childhood home was at Brooklyn,
Pa, where he was born March g., 1865.
He graduated from Wyoming Commercial
College at Kingston, Pa, in 1885.
While at college he experienced religion
and upon returning home to Brooklyn be-
came member Of the Methodist Church.
While employed as photographer in
Scranton, he identified himself with the
Y. M. G. A., in which he was an hOnOred
and energetic worker. He was also
engaged in business in PittstOn, Pa, from
whence he came to Lorain.
Last January he and his wife united
with the Congregational Church, and on
the 25th Of January he was made the first
president of the Young Mems League,
just organized.
He was taken sick March 10Th with
typhoid fever. During sickness Of two
weeks, some Of the time enduring great
pain, he was patient and uncOmplaining.
He realized that his end was near and
expressed his trust in the Savior. His fa-
ther and mother arrived from Brooklyn,
Pa, on Saturday and were with him dur
ing his last hours. Early Tuesday morn
ing April 2,his spirit went to dwell with
its Maker.
The funeral services were held at the
home Wednesday atG O'Clock. The pas
! tor, Rev. Chas. j. Dole, Officiated, assis-
ted by the Rev. j. F. Smith. Tributes of
love and esteem were paid to the young
man whose life work was so suddenly
ended. The remains were taken to Well
/ ingtOn, to be laid beside the wife's ia
ther, who died several years ago.
Our friend will be missed in society
and church circles, but we have confd-
ence that his lot is better than here on
earth.
As on the darkest cloud God paints
His promise bow in brilliant lines,
So o'er the tomb of all his saints,
The rainbow of the resurrection shines.

"FuDGES" OF VASSAR COLLEGE.

How the Sweet Girl Undergraduate SpoiIs
Her Digestion.
Nearly every night at college," said
the Vassar girl, "some girl may be
found somewhere who is making
Judges Or giving fudge party" says
writer in the Boston Globe "Fudges
are Vassar chocolates, and they are
simply the most delicious edibles ever
manufactured by set of sweetmeat-
loving girls. Their origin is wrapped
in mystery. We only know that their
receipt is handed down from year to
year by old students to new, and that
they belong peculiarly to Vassar.
"To make them, take two cups of
sugar, one cup Of milk, piece of but
ter 'one-half the size of an egg, and a
teaspoonful of vanilla extract. The
mixture is cooked until 1t begins to get
grimy. Then it is taken from the fire,
stirred briskly, and turned into but
tered tins. Before 1t hardens it is cut
into squares. You may eat the fudge
either cold or hot; it is good either
way. 1t never tastes so delicious, how
ever, as when made at college, over q
spluttering gas lamp, in the seclusion
OF your own apartments. The various
difficulties that this method entails but
make the fudge taste sweeter."

But the Reminiscent Odor of a Cigar Was

1t was at lecture; the room was hot
and crowded, and Mrs. Bittersweet
noticed that her husband was suffering
under sense of injury, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
what is it, dear?" she whispered,
under cover of one Of the speakers
rounded periods.
Mr.. Bittersweet's shifts became more
audible. Its the abominable odor of
perfumery in the room," he puffed.
''I'm almost asphyxiated by it. Why,
] can count fourteen distinct scents
every time the women about us ap-
plaud."
80, well, try not to notice it," whis-
pered his wife, with that cheerfulness
always displayed by the friends of the
sufferer in such cases. "Do listen to the
lecture; it is just splendid"
"Humph; l suppose you like the
odor; women always do like whatever
costs money. Do you happen to know
what is spent annually on perfumery in
America alone?"
mo, dear, l don't. What is it?"
"Um-well, 1 don't remember the
exact figures just now, but assure you
1t is something enormous. For my part
think that the carrying Of perfumes
into public places should be prohibited
by law, and the amount of money
which would otherwise have been
wasted upon them might then go to-
wards endowing an asylum for those
idiots who don't know that others have
rights in public"
"Sh-sh! You are disturbing people.

daggers at YOU"

He came back before long with smil-

ly in his place. AS he did so the lady
in the violet bonnet, who sat next to
him, began to wave her handkerchief
before her face.
Isn't it awful" she whispered to her
companion, wherever one goes it is
just the same-some horrid man poi
