HONOR THEIR QUEEN.
LOYAL BRlTONS SHOW LOVE
FOR QUEEN VICTORIA.
Cheers Shake the Ground as She
Passes in the Diamond Jubilee Pa
rade-Peopie from All Parts of the
Earth Help Celebrate.


The crowning feature of the official eel
ebration of the siytieth anniversary of the
coronation of Victoria as Queen of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland has come and gone, and all Lon
don is congratulating itself upon the COM
plete success of one of the greatest popu-
lar demonstrations of modern times. a
religious service of brevity and simplicity,
royal pageant of unprecedented bril-
liancy, n mighty outburst of patriotism
and evidence of personal love-these were
the principal characteristics of the great
est day that London has ever seen.
The most stupendous pageant in his
tory, a concourse of the millions from
the ends of the earth, gathered TO do hon
or to the queen and to add to the glory Of
her diamond jubilee parade, has filed its
part without hitch and without flaw
in all the marvellous effect. Most impress
sive, perhaps, of all the sights of the great
day was the mighty multitude of people
spectators packed almost to the point of
suffocation into every available niche of
the six-mile route of the great parade.
Eight million souls, representing every
civilized and almost every savage nation
on the face of the globe, shouldered and
elbowed at every point of vantage, and
the aged queen as she was borne amid
the throng was given homage such as
never Pharaoh nor Caesar received from
the myriads of the olden time. The pro-
cession itself was the greatest, most mag
nificent, that ever passed between the
ranks of admiring multitudes. 1t moved
in three sections, consolidating as the di-
vision moved into Picadilly, while-fitting
order of parade-the colonists of Eng
lands mighty empire led the van.
The crowds that peopled the streets and
squares all night in the hope of a good
view of the procession were amazing in
their sublime patience. Waiting for
twelve, fourteen and sixteen hours, as
many of these people did, jammed togeth-
er, was a feat of endurance that could
only be sustained by some overmastering
desire. Quite half of these jubilee wait
ers were women, many of them with the
pale, careworn look of the London worker,
yet all enduring the back-breaking tedi-
business with the utmost good nature.
Some had camp stools, some sat on pro-

A Family HuIe.

There is a citizen in this town who
has always experienced the greatest
difficulty in fitting their proper names
and identity to acquaintances whose
faces he knows perfectly well. So
marked is this failing that he has often
been placed in exceedingly awkward
situations, even with friends whom he
has known for several years. Some
time ago he hit upon what he considi
cred a rather ingenious plan for find-
ing out the name Of the man to whom
lie was talking. After one or two safe
ly commonplace remarks upon the
weather OF any not too personal topic,
he would ask In an apparently casuas
manner:
well. how is business with you, now
pretty fairT
1t almost invariably happened that
his unsuspecting companion would say
something in reply which would reveal
the nature of his occupation. This was;
all Mr.. A wanted. AS soon as he
knew this particular, he knew his man,
Many successful experiments with tiliS
method soon gave him n fatal amount
of confidence in his infallibility. Fear
less of detection, he put the same in
quiry umblushingly OH every occasion
which found him unable to identify an
acquaintance Last week the shock
came. and now his faith is sadly shak-
en- by what he admits was n cOnspicu-
Gus failure.
Dropping into a seat in the cable car
one morning he found himself beside a
gentleman who greeted him familiarly,
and proceeded to make inquiries re-
garding his family, which showed him
to be comparatively intimate friend.
Mr.. A., knowing his face. but en-
tirely at a loss for his name, merely
awaited good opportunity.
''And how is business with you now,
brisk?"
His companion stared moment, then
laughed.
II guess you don't know me, Mr..
A; now admit it,
'Well-I-why," stammered the 9th
er, awkwardly cursing his wretchcd
memory. you are"

is about as lively as usual. you know"

Paid for His Joke.

A faughable but rather embarra ssinS
case of mistaken identity occurred the
other day in large department store
"A gentleman who is little too fond OF
Joking entered the store for the purpose
of meeting his wife at certain coun-
ter. Sure enough, there stood Il lady,
dressed, to his eye, at least, just like
the woman he was after.
Her back was turned and no one was
near her; so he quietly approached,
took her by the arm and said in a voice
Of simulated severity: We'll, here you
are, spending my money as usual eh ~
The face turned quickly towards him
was not his wife's; it was that of an
acrid, angry, keen-eyed woman of
about so years, who attracted the at
tention of everybody in that part of the
store by saying, in loud, shrill voice:
mo, / ain't spending your money or
no other mans money, and III"

the confused gentleman. Il supposed

More About the New Route 20 Tole-
do and DetrOit.

The progress of modern railroad travel
is so advanced we are sometimes bewil-
dered in attempting to determine correct
ly in our minds how to reach even nearby
points the quickest and with the greatest
convenience. The new passenger train
service on the Nickel Plate Road proves
of greater benefit to the people of Fort
Wayne and vicinity than many are aware
of. The new fast Nickel Plate Express,
No. 4, east at 3:22 p. M, makes sure and
close connections at Leipsic Junction
with fast express train north on the c.,
II. & D. r. r., and lands passengers in
Toledo same evening at $40 and Detroit
at $40. This las proved an especially
popular train for all points east on the
Nickel Plate Road, reaching Cleveland at
$40 p. IN. and Erie at 11:33 p. M, with
entire tram through without change of
cars by either firSt-class or second-class
passengers, arriving In New York City
the next day al $3.50 p. m. and Boston at
$3.50 p. m., with corresponding con-
venience for all intermediate points.
Luxurious Drawing Room Sleeping Cars
and an unexcelled Dining Car Service.
Other trains both east and west afford i'm
pOrtant advantages, including rates lower
than via other lines. Ali trains daily.

theater has been the world; it's actors, in
principal and auxiliary parts, the ma
jority of the human race. And yet the
personal history of the queen has been
singularly uneventful. 1t is only when
one reaches out to the peoples and coun-
tries, with which her government has had
relations, and considers the duration and
Importance of those relations that one be-
gins to realize the vast influence Queen
Victoria has exercised over so many hun
dreds of millions of people.
Only three Of Queen Victoria's prede-
cessors ruled over fifty years. These
were Henry III, ifty-six years; Edward
Ill, fifty years six months. and George
Ill. her grandfather, fifty-nine years. But
during the last ten years of the latter s
life his mind was weak and the virtual
sovereign was the prince regent.
Sketch of Her Career.
Victoria Alexandrina, Queen of Great
was born at Kensington Palace, London,
May "a. 1919. Her father was Edward,
Duke of Kent, fourth son of King George
Ill, and her mother was Victoria Mary
Louisa, daughter of Francis, Duke of
Saxe-Coburg Saalfeld. and a sister of the
late King Leopold of Belgium.
Before the present queen-empress had
completed her first year her father died,
leaving the care and training of the young
princess to the Duchess of Kent, and SO
far as the adage, How the twig is bent,
the trees inclined" is true, the training
given the Princess Victoria must have
been both good and wise. She was edu-
Gated under her mothers watchful eyes
and was grounded not alone in intellec-
tual pursuits but on moral and religious

How Iceberps Are Formed.

The birth of huge iceberg, phe-
nomenOn that has been seen only once
or twice by European. and. to cer-
tain extent, has remained matter of
theory, was observed by the Danish
explorers on the east coast of Green
land last summer. The bergs are
formed by breaking off from the end
of glaciers extending from the perpet-
ual ice of the unexplored interior to the
coast and into the sea. The water
buoys up the sea end of the glacier I'M
til it breaks by its own weight, with
noise like loud thunder miles away.
The commotion of the water, as the
iceberg turns over and over in the eff
fort to attain its balance, is felt to
great distance along the coast. The
natives regard it as the work Of evil
spirits. and believe that to look upon
the glacier in its thrOes is death. The
Danish officers. when observing the
breaking off of the great glacier, at
PuissOrtok, through their telescope.
were roughly ordered by their Esqui-
n,aux escort. usually submissive
enough, to follow their example and
turn their backs on the interesting
scene. They had happily completed
their observations, and avoided an EN-
barrassing conflict with their crew by
q seeming compliance with the order.

A Call for Cats.

Il have come East to visit my rcla-
tiveS," said Western man the other
day, ''but I shall attend to little
matter of a purely business nature
while I'm here. l have a large ranch
out in Oregon, devoted principally tc
the growing of wheat and other grain.
For several years past our crops have
suffered greatly by reason of the dep
relations Of great armies Of gophers
that infest the country thereabouts.
The nuisance has grown more and
more annoying with each succeeding
year, and we have finally decided that
a stop must be put to it. Now. a cat is
death on gopher, but cats are not so
plentiful in the West as they are here
So intend to get together a couple of
hundred cats and take them with me
when start for home. Out in my coun-
try cats bring fancy prices, but from
my recollection of this locality, should
be able to get all l need for very little
money"

On attaining her eighteenth year Il
grand ball was given in her honor at
Buckingham Palace and for the first time,
having reached her majority, she took
rank of her mother Within month her
uncle. King William ", died and as he
left no issue, the crown deyolved upon
Victoria.
The following day, June 81, 1886, she
was publicly proclaimed queen, but it was
not until June % of the following year
that she was crowned at Westminster.
From the beginning she endeared her
self to her people. She bore her dig
mites gracefully and manifested a sound
Judgment in dealing with affairs of state
A new sense of royalty and admiration
arose in the minds of the English people,
for, it must be said, that the record of
the House of Hanover, to which Victoria
belongs, was very bad before her time,
tbe kingly members of it when not corrupt
being stupid.
In 1910 Queen Victoria was married to
her cousin. Prince Albert of SAKE Coburg-
Gotha. The union was one of love and
not of state policy and happy and model
union it proved. The English people did
not take kindly to it at first Although
L
gifts as well as personal attractions, he
failed in the beginning TO impress his
worth upon the subjects of his queen.
They disliked him because he was not an
Englishman. In Parliament the wise
heads wrangled over the question of his
naturalization, quarreled over his allow
ance, his place next to the queen, and
over the bill to constitute him regent in
case of the queens death. They would
not give him the title of Prince Consort
until 1857. Four years after this Prince
Albert died, Dec. II, 1861, but by this
time the nobleness of the mans charac-
ter was established in the public heart
and his death was deeply mourned in the
court and in the nation.
Up to the year 1861 the life of Queen
Victoria had been one of unbroken, tram
quill happiness. Her mother, to whom
she was deeply attached, was spared to
enjoy a peaceful old age. Her husband
was to her all that a devoted and loving
companion could be. and their nine chill
dren We're growing up, healthy, happy and

The Great Mouse Hunt.

A lady, while engaged in the pursuit
of her domestic duties, encountered a
mouse in the flour barrel. Now, most
ladies', under similar circumstances,
