Much Ado About-Nothing.

A certain prince of Orange was gen.
eralissimo of the Austrians at the end of
the last century. He fought against the
French in Italy, died, and was buried
at Padua (1799). For four years the
Dutch government has been in treaty
for the princes remains, and after an
endless amount of diplomatic negotia-
tions and correspondence matters were
arranged, a Dutch man-of-war arrived
in Venice, and, after another three
weeks delay, surmounting the last diff
ficulties raised by the church and red
tape of the Italian government, last
Thursday was the day fixed for opening
the tomb and conveying the remains to
Venice, to be transported by the man-of
war, and ultimately deposited in the
family vault at Delft.
1t was most impressive ceremony.
A representative of the queen of Hol-
land came expressly. Admirals, gener-
ais, officials galore, special trains, fu-
neral Car, troops lining the way, minute
guns and flags half mast high, and then
The tomb was opened and contained
nothing London Truth.

A BOY AND A BALLOON
Or How BUSINESS Was Interrupted In n
Chicago Department Store.

Or How BUSINESS Was Interrupted In n
Chicago Department Store.
The small boy had purchased rubber
balloon in the toy department.
He was tagging after his mother in
the crowded first floor Of the big depart
ment store when some one iolted against
him so that he let 60 of the string. The
rubber balloon hoated upward until it
reached the ceiling.
The boy howled in dismay, and his
mother dropped her bundles imagining
that some one had walked on him.
There was the balloon bobbing against
the ceiling.
The boy held up his hands toward it
and demanded that it be returned to
him. His mother gathered up her bum
dies and scolded him for being careless.
Then the aisle became blocked with
people who offered suggestions
"Get long fishing pole" said one.
"How did it happen?" asked another.
"How long will it stay up there3"
inquired YET aHother.
A porter came running to find out
what was the matter A dozen willing
people pointed out the balloon that rested
lightly against the ceiling and was
shifted about by every little movement
Of the air.
"I don't see how can get it," said
he.
ooh, you ought to get it for the boy, /"
said large man, who had established
himself as master of ceremonies. "You
bought the balloon here in the store,
didn't you, madam
eyes, sir, she replied.
"She bought the balloon here in the
store" said the large man to the porter.
81 think if you get long window pole
and stand ON that highest shelf that you
can fish it down.
1t was 5 cent balloon, but the porter
went after it as if it were the bag OF
gold that hangs from every rainbow.
He found the pole and climbed to the
high shelf. Several hundred people stop
ped their shopping and watched him for
five minutes as he vainly poked in an
effort to fasten the end of the window
pole in the dangling string.
At last he was successful.
The balloon was slowly hauled down,
to the intense qualification of every one
except the small boy, who had become
interested in small aquarium contain
ing goldfish. Chicago Record.
