Glad He Was There.

'I shall always be glad" says gos-
siper in an English paper, that I was
present when our future king won the
Derby. The touch of nature which
makes the whole world kin drew prince
and people very close that day. Every
body knows that royalists are not, as a
rule, above all things human. But the
prince is as human rs any man living.
And at the Derby the tremendous out
burst of affectiona;e loyalty, the long
nproarious yell of deligh: which greeted
his horse as winner, touched him so
that his face grew white and he trem-
bled visibly from head to foot. The
prince was, indeed, unable himself to
lead his horse, and one likes him, if pos
6ible, almost better than ever before
when one realizes how deeply he was
STIRRED by the popular ovation accorded
ito him. And the duke of York, too,
could scarcely disguise his agitation."--

ending: &.
"ETis inconsolable widow dedicates
this monument to his memory, and con-
tinues the same business Mt the old
place, 1877 Rue Mouffetard."
A gentleman had the curiosity to call
at the address given, says Tit-Bits.
81 came to see the widow CabOchard,"
said the caller.
'Well, sir, here she is" said the man.
''I beg pardon" said the gentleman,
"but wish to see the lady herself"
Sir" was the answer, 81 am the wild

the visitor. "I allude to the relict Of

joiuder. "Allow me to inform you that
Pierre Cabochard is myth, and there
fore never had wife. The tomb you

/ Mistakes which PuIzIc Detectives.
| A recent happening in a Boston store
should be a warning alike to absent
minded women and to over-zealous shop
detectives. A woman very much
frightened and tremulous walked up to
the superintendent desk of one of the
large stores the other day and handed
over a small shopping bag of the variety
known as Boston, which she thought
contained money, though she did not
know how much. She did not know,
either, how orwhcre she had got posses
sion of the bag, except that she must
have picked it up somewhere in her
shopping round that morning in fit of
Observation-Disclosures. The superintend-
emit felt sure she was telling the truth
and took the bag and let her go. He
notified the police, and later in the day
there was an anxious inquiry at head
quarters from the owner of the bag
(which contained money to the amount
bf $C0), and he restored the property.
The store detective and the sergeant at
the police station admitted that it
would have been difficult for the woman
who picked up the bag to convince them
of her innocence had it been found in
herpossession al fter the loss was known,
as might easily have happened.
Almost any woman can duplicate this
bit of Observation-Disclosures in kind, if not
In degree, in her own experience. To
aeave a cocunter with another's UNI
brella or parasol is not at all an infre-
guent happening to shopping women.
There is something in the complex de-
mands of shopping round which abb
sorbs the faculties to an extent that re-
huces the action of those not engaged in
the looking, considering the buying, to
a purely mechanical degree. One day
lately in New York an absolutely hon
est woman found herself at luncheon in
possession of a sheet of music carefully
rolled and wrapped, and evidently
somebody's purchase, of which she had
no knowledge of requirement, and GER
tainly no smallest right to own. 1t had
been bought, as she discovered by look
ing at the bill inclosed, Ut store which
she had not entered that day, its pur-
chaser afterward encountering her in
eome other store where she must have
hnwittingly picked it up and carefully
carried it about with her. AS she had
been in and out of half dozen shops
there was no means of knowing at
(which one the transfer had been made
and she could only take the music back
to the place where it had been bought
trustinG it's owner would make inquiry
there.-N. Y. Times.
