DUKES MoRoANArlc WIFE.
when He Became Heir to the Throne, She
Had To Go.

i me, friend from Canada the other
day who kotps we'll posted about current
affairs, and no told me that the morganatic
wife of the Duke of York was living quiet
ly at u remote post In British Columbia
with her present husband, who Is an Off
Ger of her ma jesty' sGf.ny. When the young
prince was serving his time i'm the British
navy, his ship was stationed at Malta for
many months, and there he fell In love
with the daughter of an army officer, who
WAS beautiful, amiable and accomplished
She loved him we'll enough To take the
chances of marrying grandson of Queen
Victoria, and there wasn't much said
about 10 until the death of his elder broth
er made him heir To the throne. Then the
situation became serious, particularly as
she had presented him with two beautiful
children. Just what was done and said
nobody knows, but at any rate the young
prince was persuaded to abandon her, the
marriage was declared loft, f" and young
army officer of excellent family, the youn-
ger son of one of the noblest houses I'm Eu-
rope, was induced to become her husband.
These things can be arranged I'm England
without much trouble. 1t Is often consd-
cred an honor to embrace the discarded
mistress of o prince, and the gentleman
who married York's wife is always sure of
being well taken care of by his govern
ment as long as he behaves himself and
prevents a scandal.
So they were married, and the future
king of England was free to offer his heart
and hand to the Princess May, who is now
o happy wife and mother, and is probably
entirely ignorant of her husbands early
romance.
/ The young officer, with his bride, went
first to India and served there for "a time,
but the wife didn't like the climate and
the officer secured transfer to Canada,
where for year or so he has been sta
toned at pleasant post. My friend would
not tell me his name, nor where he is To-
Gated, because the information came to
him in confidence, and he said there were
not dozen men in Canada who knew the
facts. The future of the children Is mat
ter of speculation. They are boy and a
girl They have taken the name of their
foster father, and will probably never
know that they are the descendants of
kings. Washington Cor. Chicago Record.

MURDER EASY IN LONDON.
Takes Little Skill to Escape Detection,
Though the Police Are Good.

Coroners' juries in England are even

bodies in the States, and 1t is believed to

swarms with barges that are the floating
residences of families born and reared in
them.
While the bargees are as honest and rep
uta BILE as circumstances permit perhaps, a
large proportion of them are low and
brutal enough for the committing of any
atrocity, and few things would be easier
than the murder of a man or woman on
one of these barges, with comparative GER
tainty that the guilty person or persons
would never be brought to book without
the aid of betrayer.

monstrous murders that gave notoriety to

He Talked About - Carload OF Nutmegs
He Had Sold.

"Drummers are proverbially great ro-
mancers," said John A. Goodloe, Phila-
delphia commercial traveller. There seems
to be something In our mode of life that
makes us see and heer things that no other
human beings ever thought of before, and
30 we can listen TO each other with patience
and forbearance when ordinary people
won't give us an audience. OF course we
don't believe half the things we tell each

when he runs for the Office.
"A crowd of us were sitting in hotel
lobby there, lying about the BUSINESS we
were doing and the trade we were taking
away from our rivals, conscious that each
knew that every mothers son of us was
lying by the watch, but happy in the belief
that maybe some one In the crowd would
accept our statements as true. The east
ern man was selling grocers' sundries, such
as spice, etc. When he told us that that
day he had sold carload of nutmegs to a
firm In Sedalia, looked around the crowd
to see how 1t was going. Every fellow had
his lips puokered ready to whistle, but the
nutmeg man kept rattling away at such a
lively rate that we sat there In silence,
transfixed by his magnificent gall. Now,
any body with ordinary sense knows that a
carload of nutmegs would glut the market
of the entire west for q whole year and
that they could not be disposed of in Sc.

pie who do not accept the Koran go to
Laza, or the Blazing Fire, but that is in
the next world, not In this We must not
expect too much. We know what Puritan
narrowness is capable of in other coun-
tries 1t was not SO very long ago that
certain members of the Free Church Of
Scotland declared that people who approve
of organs in church cannot escape damna-
ton The Turk is in many respects a
Puritan, If not Scotchman, and his re-
ligious fanatcism can easily be aroused.
We have heard much of Turkish atrocities
In Bulgaria, but in war what nation Is
free from that charge? If the Turk is 'un
speakable, what were the Bulgarian Chris
tians when they had gained the upper
hand and when the hour of revenge had
struck The Turkish soldier is certainly
taught by his present teachers that the
more Christians he kills in war the safer
his entry into paradise. Need we wonder
that he tries TO make his entry doubly
surep But, like every other sacred book,
the Koran enjoins clemency toward cap
tives and prohibits particularly cruelty to
women and children. 1t is a pity that the
ordinary Turk does not know the Koran.

A "Cry of the Heart"

1t was formerly the custom for young
men who were making beginning in lit
erature To treat the living old masters" in
letters with great veneration instead Of
winning some notoriety by publicly ridi-
culing them. When, therefore, they had an
opportunity to express some honest criti-
cism of masters work, the expression
had about it decided piquancy.
1t is related that in 1929 Chateaubriand,
then held in very great honor, invited a
group of literary people to his residence at
Auteuil to hear him read his tragedy of
'"Moses. - Among the guests were Alex
andre Dumas and Frederic Soulie, then
young men, who listened respectfully, who
even after they left the house at midnight
and started back to Paris in cab did not
venture to express an unfavorable judg-
ment, but rode on in silence
BY and by they came to one of the octroi
stations, where all persons who enter Par
is are required to declare or announce
any articles that they may have in their
possession which are subject to the munic-
ipal import duty. The agent in charge of
the station stopped the cab in which the
two young men were, thrust his head into
the door and said:
"Have you anything to declare, gentle
mem"
Whereupon Soulie exclaimed with much
emphasis:
