Little Wilhelmina

Juvenile sovereigns can be very trying
to their elders. Notions of their own
Importance are apt to crop up rather
rapidly in their young heads. Wilhel-
nina l of Holland is not an exception.
She had held her queenly title for
scarcely six months when one morning
at an unconsciously early hour she left
her room and knocked at the door of the
queen regents chamber. "Who is there?"
asked her mother. 'The queen of the
Netherlands" was the grandiloquent
reply. "Oh, " said the queen regent, "I
am afraid it is too early to receive the
queen of the Netherlands, but if my lit
tie daughter Wilhelmina is there she
may come in. Ladies' Home Journal

insist that the young animal trainer has
hypnotized his pet. BE that as it may.
Harry has succeeded in doing what no
one has ever done before, and he is
reaping his reward in the fun that
Mouser affords himself and his friends
whenever the weather is cold enough to
make an ice pond in fit condition for
skating.
Harry has had several offers from
museum keepers who want to buy the
gifted Mouser, but the boy would rather
part with his ears than give up his clev-
er cat Mouser is the most remarkable
feline in the world, and if she under
stands her own value she must certain
ly know that she can do at least one
thing that no other cat has ever before
succeeded in doing. A skating cat is
worth whole menagerie of ordinary
trick animals, and when Mouser dies
as she probably will some day-a fine
monument erected over her grave will
be the very least that her proud master

A Depraved Mule.

farmer in Fauquicr county. A tag had
been tied securely around his neck with
u rope, with shipping directions thereon,
hut in the course of his journey the
mules hunger and natural depravity
had tempted him TO chew up both tag
and rope. This gave the darky brake

WHEN LovELAcE CAME TO WOO.

The feet of time make fast their pace,
And we, like players in play,
Strut up and down our little space
And act our parts a. best we may.
Alas! Alack and well day!

Whore once that stately vogue held sway,
When Richard Loyelace came to WOO.
And much we marvel as we trace
The feuds and foibles passed away,
While pOmp Of power and pride Of place
Troop down the years in grand array.
In court and camp, in fete End fray,
Tickle and fippant, stanch and true,
Such were the gallants, bold and gay,
When Richard Lovelace came to WOO.
In dOublet fine and frills Of lace
This lover sought his suit TO pay;
With such form and such a face,
Who could resist his plea, pray.

So like "a wood doves plaintive coo,

There are marble tables which make IL

He has finished and re-enters. He lays
down upon the table some small objects,
all wet, and goes to the stove to thaw
out his fingers, benumbed and Redeemed
by the cold.
"They must have been mad in such
weather as this" he said shivering
"What is the matter with them all?"
When he is again comfortably warm,
and when the sugar melts and runs over
the side of the plate, he breakfasts in a
corner of the Office. While eating he
opens one Of his great books and COM

book is beautifully kept; the lines are
straight and headed with blue ink, with
little reflections of gold powder and
blotter for every page. Everything is in
perfect order.
Business seems to be good. Our re-
corder has the contented air of an ac-
countant looking over u good balance at

While he turns over the pages with
delight they open the doors of the ad-

crowd upon the stone pavement and
hushed voices as if in church.

And there is Il hushing and a whis-

THE BLOOMSBURY M. E. CHURCH,

AT meeting Of the official board
OF this church on Monday evening
the annual reports for the year were
submitted and the business for the
past year settled.
The year closed has been one of
marked success both along financial
and spiritual lines. The missionary
contributions are from the church

or total of 100000. The benevo-
lent collections &c, are $Sa4.oo.
The trustees collections $631.oo.
Pastors salary $4,000. Elders sal
ary $4,000 and Sunday School

Probatloners received during the
year I3o besides 40 accessions by
letter. After deducting those who
have taken letters of removal and
striking off those who cannot be
found and those who have withdrawn
their support it leaves a membership
vi ABOUT 100.
The Sunday School has an enroll
ment of 6I5. The Epworth League
and Junior Leagues have doubled
their membership and the attendance
at class meeting has also doubled. 1t
will thus be observed that there has
been an advance on all lines. The
trustees, Sunday School and stewards
treasurers all have a balance on the
credit side. The new church has
been started and the prospects are
that before the close of an other year
this congregation will have completed
one of the finest and most comforta-
BILE church edifces in this conference.
Resolutions appreciative of Rev. B.
c. Conner's labors and requesting his
