The triumph of September A. 1918, was

done honor to Rhode Island and to their
country, men of Rhode Island trained
to the sea i'm the days when our State
was famous for sailors. Evidently the
state has claims which the Navy De-

TOLD OF wILhEIMINA.

Dr. Kuyper OF Holland. upon his re-
cent visit To this city, related an inter-
esting story connected with the early
life of the young Queen Wilhelmina,
which is significant as illustrating the
character OF the Queen. IL occurred
when she was not more than years
old
Her father. the late King. was pre-
sented with IA beautiful and very choice
set of cups and saucers, and so highly
did he prize the gift that he solemnly
impressed upon his servants and the
members of his household that if the
pieces were destroyed or injured In any
way the unfortunate person responsible
for the accident should be severely
punished. Ii happened that some time
later, a footman, i'm carrying the dishes
from the room I'm which he had been
serving, accidentally broke one OF the
cups He was horrified and flled with
grief at the misfortune. which he knew
1 would cost him his position and his
home.
Happening at that moment TO meet
the little Princess, he said 10 her with
sobs. Good by, l have got 10 go,
have broken one OF the cups" The little
lady expressed her regret ana asked
why. and the footman explained 10 her
the decree of the King. The Princess
became thoughtful and finally SAID:
Il will help YOU out OF this trouble
and I'll tell you what to do. You get
some glue and fasten the pieces togeth-
er, and tomorrow you bring the cup 10
me filed with tea. but be sure IL Is cold
tea. and | will see what can do about
it,"
The footman. much relieved, obeyed
the little Princess, and the following
evening the footman handed her the
cup of cold tea. In "A moment she man
aged To let il fall. The cup OF course
broke into a thousand pieces. The King
was furiously angry. Little Wilhelmina
ran TO him, and, throwing her arms
around his neck, said, "Good-by, father,
L am going
What do you mean?" asked the
King. perplexed.
why, you said the first person who
broke one OF these cups was TO be ban
ished. so | am going"
At this the King, who Worshipped his
little daughter took her in his arms,
and forgave her, and he never knew
that the child had committed the act
10 save the footman.-Rochester Demo-
crat and Chronicle.

Suits for damages against the pro-
verbally soulless corporations are
usually regarded as good things by 4
certain class OF sharp lawyers who
seem To be always on the lookout for a
damaged client. But recent decision
i'm Brooklyn court. II Il is supported
by a higher judiciary, is calculated to
easy practice, and, so To speak, kill or
at least main the goose that lays SO
many golden eggs It appears that a
man who with horse and wagon had
been pretty well manglcd by the fender
on Brooklyn trolley car sued for $lO,-
600 damages. His seems 90 have been
an unusually worthy case. But the
Jury found for the corpora tion. which
was likewise unusual contributory neg
ligcnce on the part Of plaintin being
shown. Defendants attorney there
upon called attention of the court TO
the fact that his company had been
put to great expense in defending the
suit. and that. inasmuch as. 81 the case
had been lost the company would have
been taxed i've per cent of the amount
of tho verdict for piamun-s expenses
1t was only fair that the pluiutin. being
the loser. should bc assessed The
court acknowledged the logic of the
claim and assessed the unfortunate yic-
tim OF the trolley car Eve uer cent. OF
the damages he claimed and failed to
get. which Is $500 besides which the
plaintiff had his lawyers fees to pay.
