Posed for the Queen.

About two ago years handsome old
lady, Miss Blanche Sully OF Philadelphia,
visited Washington. She was the guest of
her sister, the late Mrs. John II. Wheeler,
% Grant place. III 1887 this lady was a
beautiful girl, and had an experience no
other American girl ever enjoyed.
Her father, Thomas Sully, America s
greatest portrait painter, had been en-
gagged by the Society of st. George and ST..
Andrew of Philadelphia to paint the por-
trait of the young Queen OF England.
Blanche Sully, his daughter, accom- panied
her father on this interesting mission.
Both were quartered at Windsor Castle,
and Queen Victoria consented to pose
for the portrait until the face was
finished. After that the royal robes
were placed on the shoulders OF
Blanche Sully, and she stood ior hours in

If vou will take map of Marin County
and look at that portion living west OF the
San Francisco and North Paclhc coast
Railroad and north OF Point BONITA as lar
as Point Reeves, you will see the outline OF
a vast stretch of country almost un marked
bv settlements. With the exception OF
BoIinas all the other places designated
are merely camps or postottces during
the camping season. The records of
Marin County will show this vast stretch
Of country to be the Throckmorton ranch.
and deeper search OF the records will re-
veal the fact that it has been leased by
the Country Club for a game preserve.
This means that in reality it IS nothing
more nor less than a deer park, and it
nust be conceded to be the largest in the
world. The famous deer parks of Eng
land fade into insignificance when com.
pared to it.
1t is some years since the Country Club
took possession of this stretch of territory
and to that is due the fact that deer are
still to be found there. OF course, only
members are allowed to hunt over these
preserves, but along the public roads that
7un through it such restrictions do not

The Country Club has been to an
enormous expense to care for this land
and properly protect it from vandals OF
different kinds. There are dozens OF
game wardens employed and mum Der OF
guides, but any part of the domain is open
to all who wish to visit it provided they
do not shoot game nor build fires. To
protect the land from fire alone has cost
thousands of dollars and it is safe to say
that ii the Country Club had not guarded

long ago have been burned away. If peo-
pie are permitted they will build fires.

AS the vast deer park is now it is in an
almost absolutely wild condition and
there are many parts of it into which no
man ventures from October to the May OF
the following year. Thousands and thou
sands of acres are in exactly the same
condition they were fifty years ago, or
perhaps a century ago. Miles and miles

The transition was marvellous. In the

While the Pastor Slept.

The participants in wedding celebra-
tion recently were placed in a very embar-
RAISING position on account OF the absence
of the preacher who was TO perform the
ceremony. The affair occurred in one of
Birmingham's most thickly populated
suburbs.
The preacher had been notified of the
approaching event and had the church
brilliantly Illuminated. The organist was
there and the happy young couple drove
up in their carriage. The deep tones of
Mendelssohn's beautiful wedding march
filled the sacred ediice and the bridal
party proceeded slowly to the altar. Upon
arriving there they were somewhat sur
prised to find that the preacher was not
present. Naturally supposing that the
reverend gentleman was in one of the
anterooms the couple glanced anxiously
toward the side entrance, but still the
preacher failed to appear.
Several minutes elapsed and the many
friends OF the contracting parties who
crowded the church began to whisper TO
each other about the minister's continued
absence. Still that gentleman failed to
appear, and the expectant couple were
placed in a very EN- barrassing position.
Finally some one went to the pastors
residence, and there they found the
reverend gentleman in the arms OF Nor
pheus. He was awakened and reminded
of the waiting couple.
He hastily arrayed himself and went to
the church, where he performed the cere-
mony that made the young couple hus-
band and wife. The young couple stood
at the altar twenty minutes waiting for
the knot to be tied.
After the ceremony the preacher stated
that he had only recently returned from
the Epworth League convention and was
entirely worn out He had lain down to
rest while awaiting the arrival OF the
party and had fallen asleep. He regretted
the occurrence very much.-Selma Jour-
nal.
