asrmana Rule Europe.

Europe may be said to be ruled en-
tirefy by Germans, since the heads of
reigning houses are, for the most part,
of German origin. The British royal
house is Of pure German descent. The
Austrian emperor il q German and so
are the Spanish princes. The king Of
Denmark is German. The king of
Sweden Is of French ancestry (the
founder of the present line was Berna-
dotte), but his recent ancestors have
been Germans. In fact, the French
royal lines, the Portuguese and the
Italians IRE the only non-Germans
among the royal houses of Europe.
Even the kings and princes Of the former
Turkish provinces-Servia, Bulgaria,
Greece and Roumania-are Germans.

He Protects His Masters Property with
Remarkable Vigilance.
Capt. w. L. Burke has returned from
the region of which Leon county, Tex,
is the center. He served processes Of
the district court of the United States
over district of 40 miles square.
At Marquee, on the International 6
Great Northern, he hired horse and
buggy, and, after getting off from
town, he found that a dog had volun-
teered to accompany him. The drive
was ramified and led across farms and
through lonely forests, but the dog,
with cheerful alacrity, trotted ahead
and gave warning barks when nearing
bad bridges and particularly bad places
In the road. The people to be served
in some cases resided In cottages far
from the main road, causing much
painstaking In opening gates hung on
homemade hinges and secured with
ropes tied In hard knot. At such
times the dog whined his sympathy and
watched the horse and buggy until the
difficulties were overcome.
When Capt. Burke took meals and fed
the horse the dog was remembered, and
when there was any delay about his
portion he let the fact be known. When
the long drive ended and the deputy
United States marshal returned the
horse and buggy at Marquee the dog
gave satisfied yawn and curled up
In vacant stall. The owner explained.
He said: IT always send that dog along

wish had a dozen like him."-Galves-

Story of q Pouitice and Well Disciplined
| Youngster.
Family discipline is still maintained
In some American families, as, of
course, 1t ought to be In all. A small boy
got silver In his foot, and his
mother expressed her intention of
putting a poultice on the wound. The
boy, with the natural foolishness that
IL bound up in the heart of child, OBJ
jected to the proposed remedy.
~ won't have any poultice!" he de-
'clared.
| "Yes you WILL" said both mother and
grandmother, firmly. The majority was
two against him, and at bedtime the
poultice was ready.
The patient was not ready. On the
contrary, he resisted 30 stoutly that a
switch was brought into requisition.
It was arranged that the grandmother
should apply the poultice, while the
mother, with uplifted stick, was to
stand at the bedside. The boy was
told If he "opened his mouth" he would
receive something that would keep him
| quiet.
The hot poultice touched his foot,
and he opened his mouth.
| "You-" he began.
keep STILL" said his mother, shal-
ing her stick, while his grandmother
applied the poultice.
Again the little fellow opened his
mouth.
| T-r
The uplifted switch awed him into
silence.
| In a minute more the poultice was
firmly In place, and the boy was tucked
in bed.
'There now," said his mother, "the
old silver will be drawn out and Eddie's
foot will be I'll we'll"
The mother and grandmother were
moving triumphantly away when
shrill voice piped from under the bed
clothes:
you've put 1t on the wrong foot!"-

They Were All frightened.

A Washington hunter while riding
through the woods came upon n big
fallen tree in his path. The ground
seemed clear on the other side, and he
leaped his horse over the trunk. The
horse landed squarely on the back of
bear, which had evidently been asleep
there. 1t would have been hard to tell
which was most frightened, the man,
the horse or the bear. The horse
jumped one way, the bear the other and
the man in third direction, and then
all three ran AWAY. The man soon re-
covered and managed to capture the
horse, but the bear was then out Of
