as it seems, it is customary for the
queen to greet her with kiss, while
visitors of inferior rank are received
less graciously.
Lord Darlington, the lord chamber
lain, one day in announcing a Mrs

take and called her "Lady Whatsher-

conscious of his blunder and called out
hastily to the queen:
Don't kiss her, ma'am; don't kiss
her. She's not lady, after all''

When her turn came she grasped the
presidents hand, but, like many other
persons in similar positions, she could
not remember a word of the pretty
speech she had intended to deliver. In
fact, she was completely frustrated, and,
looking earnestly into the presidents
face, she said:
'How do you do, Grover?''
The president held her hand and
looked into her face, which presently
became scarlet, as she realized what
she had said. Then, with smile, he
answered: II am very well, indeed,
and very happy to have met YOU

Luxuries of ROYALTY.

Royalty enjoys many luxuries and
has many special provisions made for
it's comfort. Grand Duke Paul of Rus,
STA is so tall that no hotel bed is long
enough for his comfort, and he has one
built in sections, which he carries in
his luggage everywhere, and which is
put up by special mechanic, under
the superintendent of the royal valet,
wherever the grand duke goes. The
empress Of Austria and many other
great ladies carry their own beds and
bed linen, blankets and quilts, and al
ways macintosh sheet to spread over
the mattress to guard against damp
ness from lack of sufficient airing in
transit from place to place. The late
sultan of Morocco was also among the
luxurious monarchs. He was an in
valid good part of the time, and had a
strongly-rooted objection to being car
ried up and downstairs So railroad
was built from his bedchamber to the
ground floor. The rails were 1S-inch
gauge and were made in three-feet
lengths. The road was built on grad
ual curve and the carriages were beau
tiful .easy-chairs with Hanged wheels,
convertible into touches. Room was
left on either side of the track for the
passage of the attcndants.-W estmin.

GREATEST SEED GROW

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW
ERS.
Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in a small but profit
able way, market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third of
century they would be the leaders
in the seed growing and seed-selling
industry of America. The secret of
This phenomenal success was quality.
liberality, push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of Salzer's northern
grown seeds; to their unusual life and
vigor and to their absolute surety of
growth, in conjunction with their
great producing qualities, and this
coupled with the great liberality of the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
to each order and push back of all,
has placed the firm in the van and en-.
titles them to the proud distinction
of Americas greatest seed growers!
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been a
great speciality with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
of acres of land. Their great eight
hundred acre .rial farm in South Da
kota was visited by thousands inter-
ested in higher farming, and all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state to any wishing to see the farm.
The Salzers pay great attention to the
new grasses, clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
The largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
A strong point of the John A. Salzer
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand,
so that a customer ordering of them
Is always sure of getting what he or.
ders.
A slight idea of the magnitude of this
firms business can be gathered that
they issue probably the largest num-
Der of catalogues ofany American firm;
that they use over 100000 postage a
year, employ in the packing and dis
tributing of their seeds upwards of
six hundred hands and require for
their distributing warehouse over ten
acres of floor room.
A five cent postage stamp sent to the
John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis.,,
will bring you their great catalogue.

in THE SNOW.

Deep in snow the country road
winds across the snowy hill,
All the fields with drifts are white,
And the flakes are falling still.
Ger the p1ne-tree grim and old,
Like a beggar in the cold.
Over ragged oaks that stand
Gaunt and gray on every hand,
over eim-trees bare and brown,
Still the snOWflakes ilutter down.
In the woods the little brooklet
Trembles as the chill winds blow,
And the white birch shakes and shivers
In the snow.
Pale and pure against the sky
Family CLEANS the village spire.
Steadfast still through mondays sun.
Evening mist, or morning fire;
And the snowfakes slowly fall
In their wilderness over ALL
Till the slender bending stems
OF the grasses CLEAN like gems,
And crystal fret-work fine
Covers every tangled vine.
Safely, sweetly, rest the dreamers
In the quiet town below,
In the silent town, safe folded
In the snow.
Restlessly the eager wind
Echoes like a throbbing lutte,
Till the willows in the hollow
Culver and are mute
Under rifted clouds of gray.
With her troubles put away,
Now the old world lieth white
In the patient hush of night,
Not dream of sorrow thrills
Through the silence of her hills.
God has touched her cloudy valleys,
flushed her countless tones Of woe.
And with sweet forgiveness folds her
In the snow.

POLO At ROCKLkkC.
The PLAYERS Must stsv There or Play Nowhere
in Maine.

The polo situation at Rockiand is
rather peculiar. but can result IN noun
ing else than a victory for the owners
and hackers of the sport Messrs.
Bird and French. who have put their
money into the business, and who are
entitled to and accorded recognition
and support of the other league MEM
bers and officials
At the last league meeting it was
unanimously voted that Messrs. BIRD
and French should be recognized as
the owners of the Rockland franchise:
that no league manager should nego-
tiate with Rockland players until re-
leased by Messrs. Bird and French:
and that the present team shall not be
transferred to any other city without
the consent of a majority of the league
members.
That would seem to settle the whole
question of who owns and is to handle
the Rockland team, and it is to be
hoped that the players will reconsider
their action and stick to the owners
and hackers of the team.

of the largest and most thoroughly

of alleged extensive counterfeiting. The
informant stated that Hector Chargil-

store. and the most prominent Italian
in Pueblo offered him $4,000 gold coin
for $4,000 good money.
The police visited 412 Mesa avenue.

was said to be progressing. AS the
officers approached the house two men
ran out and opened fire on them. shot
for shot being returned without effect.
The men escaped. but the police ar
rested Charles Marico and wife and
Zelius Belist. whom they found occu-
plying the house. In the cellar was
found complete counterfeiting out
fit with evidence that the work was
being conducted on an extensive scale.
The officers proceeded to Chargilion's
store and arrested him. The arrest
created a sensation. Chargilion few
weeks ago. was elected president OF

FOR AN EMERGENCY.
War Vessels on Pacific Coast Being
Made Ready for Service.
War Department Evidently Does Not Intend to
be Caught Mapping.

San Francisco. Dec. 21.-The war yes
sells upon this coast are preparing for
an emergency. During the week or
ders We're received from the ordnance
department at Washington. to supply
Mare island with 100000 rounds of 3S-
calibre cartridges for navy revolvers.
The ammunition will he landed at the
navy yard, from which point ii may be
taken to the various war vessels among
which it may be distributed.
That 10000 rounds of revolver am
munitlon should be sent to Mare island
at this time is considered more than a
mere coincidence by men acquainted
with the manner in which the navy de-
partment conducts it's affairs. 1t is
generally beueved that it is the inten-
ton of the authorities at Washington
to put all depots of navy supplies upon
what may be termed an emergency
footing.
The opinion is suggested that the
heavy order may mean that the gov
eminent intends to send a large force
into Cuban waters for the protection of
American interests upon the island.
Taking the usual allowance of ammuni-
ton as a basis of calculation. l50Oo0
rounds would provide cartridges for the
revolvers of 5000 men.
