entertainment in his career. which every
one has to admit has been so successful
solely through his wonderfully applied
natural ability. The story of ''The Ris-

from poverty to wealth. His family the

and the new style of dress and manners
to which he must adapt himself, his gem

The surprising results of a poker game
furnish an incident of much fun. Miss
Lydia Barry, Lizzie Conway, Mr.. James

among the numerous contributors to
the evening entertainment. The scenery,
specially painted, represents New York in
some of its most striking aspects.

died, however, before I reached the
age Of eight. Hers was so sad a loss
to me that I well-nigh exhausted Mr..

of Divine interposition. In answer to

Italys new queen will be the most remark
able woman ruler in the modern history Of
the world. She has the courage Of a lion. the
physique Of an Amazon, the spirit, Of Joan
or Arc. She is perfectly at home in the saddle
and and expert with the rifle. The princess,
moreover, takes a keen delight in shooting
birds with a revolver, and so great is her skill
with that weapon that even the smallest ami
NAL falls an easy prey to her unerring aim.
The number of languages with which she Is
thoroughly conversant is half a dozen, and
she knows the political intricacies of Europe
well as a prime minister. Though a lover
Of the wild and ferocious, she has enough
intelligence and training to make her a
finished woman of the world.
