nagged her husband. When Albert
saw that his wife was in nagging hu-
NOR he used to 60 to a little room at
the top of Buckingham palace and
lock himself in. Of course this was
terribly hard on Victoria, who, when
she wanted to nag, did not want to be
thwarted. So she would follow the
prince consort up the stairs to the lit
tie room and rap on the door, but Al
bert would pay no heed. Victoria
would knock with her royal knuckles
at first, and then with anything that
came to hand, but the unhappy Co.
burger would pay no attention.
Then Victoria the good would say
"Albert, the queen wishes to be ad-
mitted." Still no response. "Albert,
the queen demands to be admitted.
Still no response. Then, after a
pause, "Albert, will you let your wife
come in?" 1t is needless to say that
at this the prince always opened the
door, but the nagging humor had
passed, and there was glorious recon.

sooner. When they turned out anc
we turned in, every beef was lying
down, but I had hardly staked my
night-horse and rolled up in my blank
cts, when, with a crash of interfering
horns, every beef was on foot. There
seemed to come an instant's pause ano
silence, then, with rush and roar
the whole heard was heading toward
the Indian reservation.
Every man in the saddle, below
ed the foreman, springing up, 'ano
shoot that big blue steer on sight!
"If there had been two men or
guard instead of sooner and a slush
the herd might possibly have been
headed-but l don't know. They had
rested up all day, and now they were
off for record. By the time the mer
in camp could get under way, the
beeves were three miles ahead, and we
never sighted them for five hours
They left a broad, plain trail in the
softened ground, which we followed at
as lively pace as the horses could
stand up to. About daylight we over
took the first stragglers. We were
now in the reservation, with the trail
still heading away over the rolling
prairie in nearly a straight line. All
but two men had exhausted their
mounts and fallen behind. For near
two hours longer we urged our tired
horses on, and at last, sixty miles
from last nights camping ground, we
trailed the herd right smack into big
corral, with big paddock on the gate
and a big, grinning buck Indian sitting
on each gatepost.
CATER big talk with the Indians
at their village near by, the foreman
got their demands for trespass reduced
from $50 head down to $1.50. Then
they opened the gates and counted
76O head. Those fellows made US hold
the stock two days on the reservation
while they sent off and cashed the
check. The scrape cost about 81 900
in money and a weeks time in getting
back to the railroad. AS tell you,
the bunch ran so miles without letting
up, and they>were pretty fresh at the
end.
"The big blue? No, he was not in
the corral, and I never saw him again.
"How do I know that his horns are
in the Texas capitol? Well, I don't
exactly know it, but know they
ought to be, for they we're the finest,
biggest, longest horns ever worn by q
Texas steer"

A SPLENDID CAsE.-He was a young
and briehess attorney, who had been
genteelly starving to death in down

The other afternoon stranger wan
dered into the Office, evidently by
mistake. He held a slip Of paper in
his hand, and said, hesitatiagly, that
he was "looking for lawyer by the

A Snare
And DeluSiOn.

IF you have taken out life insurance

You would at sometime in the future,
while you yet drew the breath of life, re-
ceive substantial cash returns or "big
dividends" we are here to tell you that
you will be disappointed. Your policy
will prove a snare and delusion. 1t is
all right for protection for your wife and
children, as they will receive the face OF
the polio in case Of your death, as they
would also in company that charges
you half as much. A life insurance poll
cy is a fraud as an investment for living
man, and is the greatest blessing of which
we or anybody else has any knowledge
as means of protecting the widow and
orphans, after the breadwinner has been
removed by death.

A COLD CHuRcH.-A good story is
told of Rev. Hadley Proctor, who once
preached in Rutland, Vt. One bitter
cold day, when the church was out
half warmed, Brother Proctor had for
his text very warm verse, addressed
to those on the left hand ; and, like
the rest of us, he seemed 20 feel the
antagopism between the weather and
his subject. Just before the benedic-
ton, he leaned forward and said to
one of the deacons in front of the
pulpit, in tones loud enough to be
heard by all, and in the nasal twang
that can only be appreciated by those
who have listened to the venerable
Eli Jones:
"Brother Griggs, do see that this
house is better warmed this afternoon
it's no kind of use for me to warn sin
ners of the dangers of hell, when the
very idea is comfort to them"

STORIES OF QUEEN VICTORIA.

The queen was too happy in her
married life to be amused at matrimo-
NAL cynicism. Nevertheless, the fol-
lowing story amused Her Majesty tre-
mendously:
Some years ago, when the queen
could get about better, she went to
visit cottager, a former servant, near
Balmoral. The woman had been i'll,
and the queen said:
II hope, Tompkins, that your hus-
band was good to you during your ILL
ness.
Eyes, ma'am, he was indeed. He
was more like friend than husband" "
The little Waleses were always lit
tie trying on Grandma Victoria's
nerves when they were noisy. When
grandma told a royal child to be quiet
She expected to be obeyed. Once,
when the late Duke of Clarence and
the Duke of York were little chaps,
they came in as usual at dessert. They
were noisy and fdgety, and grandma,
past the power of endurance, punish
ed the future king Of England and his
brother by sending them under the
table. Once under the mahogany
both little boys were quiet.
"Are you good now?" said Her
Majesty, after the lapse of some min
utes.
"No, ma'am," said the little Wales
boys.
The queen repeated the question at
intervals until they said they were
good. -,
"You may come out then," said
grandma. .

her spells of nagging, and like all
model wives, when she nagged she

DI The passengers on trolley car
were very much amused recently by a
conversation between two colored
men, one of whom was deacon in a
down town church. He introduced
the subject of new fence around a
graveyard. and asked his companion,
who had more worldly inclinations,
for a contribution for that purpose.
His reply was: "What yo' want a

If You Will Lay Aside
Your Prejudice

AND COME to us with a desire to
learn why it is not to your interest to
carry high priced insurance, and how we
can furnish you just as safe insurance
for at least 40 per cent. a year less than the
other costs, we are sure we can show you
to your satisfaction that the MUTUAL
RESERVE FUND LIFE ASSOCIA-
TION of New York does business OH a
plan that is absolutely safe, and will pro-
tect your loved ones even better than
they now are, at even a greater cost to
to you. Of course if you are too preju-
diced to investigate and imagine that the
high price you are now paying makes
your insurance better or safer, or better
than it would be at less cost, we can't do
anything for you but will be forced to
let you go on until time, the crucial
tester, convinces you, against your will,
that you have been deceived.

Senators and Representatives Promise
the Merchants Association to Work
for the Nicaragua Canal.
Realizing the vast advantage that would
accrue to the industries of this coast by
the construction of the Nicaragua Canal,
the Merchants Association of this City,
on December II, 1896. sent to each of the
Senators and Congressional delegation
from this State copy of resolution
adopted at previous meeting, requesting
them to continue their efforts 70 have
the canal constructed under American
control.
In response communications have been
received from Senators White and Perkins
and Congressman Mcguire, Loud and Nc
Lachlan. They show conclusively that
the immense significance of the project is
fully realized by the writers. and that
they may be depended upon TO do all iE
their power in favor of the measure.
Congressman Loud says: II shall do all
that lies in my power to secure the early
passage of said measure"
McLachlan's reply was to the same
effect but longer. 81 am heartily in favor
of the passage of the bill providing for the
construction of the Nicaragua Canal" he
gays, land l will do everything in my
power to secure its passage at the present
session.
Maguire's response was rather senten-
tious After acknowledging the receipt of
the letter he stated that the subject under
consideration would receive due and IA
vorable consideration at the proper time "
Senators White and Perkins promised
to do their utmost for the bill, and the
former pointed with pride to the fact that
he had done in the past IS he would do in
the future-"his best to advance the pro-
iect."

Residence of Mrs. Frank Entered
While the Family Was
at Dinner.
The Burglars Were Scared Away,
but Took With Them Purse
and Other Articles,

A daring burglary was committed at the
residence OF Mrs. Frank, 140 Twelfth
street Monday night, while the family
was at dinner, and detectives are now try
ing 10 find clew to the burglars.
From the mode of entrance adopted by
the burglars the police are satisfied they
are the same two men who have been oper-
ating successfully for the past two or three
months.
Between and o clock Monday night
Mrs. Frank and her family sat down to
dinner in the dining-room, which is in the
rear of the house. Fred, one of her sons,
was late, and when he went into the
dining-room he remarked to his mother
that he thought he saw from the street a
light in his brother Herman's bedroom.
Herman said he had turned out the light
before going in to dinner, and nothing
more was thought about it.
After dinner Mrs. Frank went into her
bedroom, which communicates with the
parIor, for her purse, and was surprised TO
find it gone.
A search was made for the purse, and
when Herman's bedroom was reached it
was at one seen that burglars had been
there. The bureau drawers had been
pulled out and their contents scattered
over the floor, and the bedclothes we're
also. on the floor, showing that the visi-
tors had suspected that something OF
value was concealed in the bed.
:. A silver watch and gold chain, new
y hat and several articles of iewelry were
found to be missing. A new suit that
Herman had received from the tailor Mon
day afternoon and which had been spread
on top of the bed had been folded up
ready to be taken away by the burglars
but in their haste they left it behind.
1t Is supposed that Fred's arrival scared
the burglars and they beat a hasty re-
treat. 1t was fortunate they did so, as
several valuable articles of jewelry were
in the room. The purse was the only
thing stolen, and 1t contained about $40.
The burglary was reported at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon, and an
examination of the premises was made.
1t was found that the burglars had forced
open a window in No. 138, which is vacant,
after trying to open the door with
jimmy. They had gone TO the top floor
and opened the window next to Herman s
bedroom, making their way along the
ledge to Herman's window, which was I'M
locked. The marks of their feet were
plainly visible on the window-sill.
1t was daring act from the fact tina
the house is within fifty yards of Howard
street, where cars are constantly passing,
and both streets at these hours have many
pedestrians on them.
