The art OF making a proposal OF mar
rage to a queen is one In which II is
no disgrace for any OF us to plead ig-
torrance and lnexperlence. A resident
of Malta has thus addressed one of the
dusky queens of the South Pacific Isl
ands:
Her Gracious Queen: I hope you
will most willing exeuse me for having
the impudence to write to you In this
manner, and the reason for my doing
80 is. when | was reading the paper
Yesterday | read about the steamship
Bonanza being drifted on your Island,
and the women under you began to
select husbands from the crew. and
that you, my queen. wanted for a hus-
band Il man that would love you and
make you happy. | have been think
ing the matter over, and | have come to
the conclusion that II you will have me
for a husband, write back and let me
know; also that you should send me the
money for my passage out, so as | al
come to you, and | will repay you the
money when / get 10 you. II. my
queen. | will suit you, write back and
let me know as soon as possible; also
send me a paper note for RS or EOS.
and | Will come ut once"
II the Maltese gentlemen wonders
why he received no reply to the bust
ness like proposal, 1t may interest him
TO know that 1t never reached her
majesty. His letter was opened by the
head chief, who handed II TO the prln-
cipal white trader. who posted 1t TO his
Sydney firm. who in Its urn sent IL TO
the Sydney Daily Telegraph. The
Dostmarks showed that 1t had passed
through London, Queensland, Sydney.

Major Tom Williams some time ago
told me the story of of Colonel Glib
Wright's adventures in South Carolina
in the closing months of the war.
1t seems that General Fitzpatrick, the
Federal cavalry commander, had cap
tured a number of Confederates, and
Wright was anxious to rescue them. He
called for volunteers to go with him
into the ene:ny's camp at night and
those who responded.
The Federal troopers were snoozing
quietly in their camp and on both sides
of the road leading to 1t, and their pris-
oners dozed by a fire neal the center.
just how they got there would be
hard to explain, but shortly after mid
night Glib Wright, at the head of a few
men, rode at a gentle pace into the camp.
The drowsy Federals took them for a
party of their own men returning from
a scout, and paid no attention to them.
Everything was working smoothly until
one of the prisoners caught a glimpse OF
the newcomers. The fellow lost his head
and ruined the whole business. He leap.
ed to his feet and looked into the faces
of the advancing Confederates.
"Horray, boysl' he shouted in his
delirious delight. Hang me, if there
amt old Glib Wright and his crowd.
burned if the whole Confederate army
amt right behind him.
The prisoners all rushed forward with
the regular rebel yell, and the sleeping
Federals suddenly became very wide
awake. From every side they showered
bullets on their visitors, and Wright
and his men had almost a miraculous
deliverance. Several were killed and
wounded, but the leader and the ma
jority of the party managed to get
away.-Atlanta Constitution.

A Generous Admission.

ing story about Hans Richter in an arti-
Gle ON conductors:

men is easily ineligible. for while

James hall. IA strange thing happen

aud conductor lost touch for several
bars, and when the piece was ended DIR.
Richter signaled to the orchestra to play
the overture again from the beginning.
This time everything went without a
hitch, and at the close DR.. Richter
turned round, and addressing the audi.

mistake was mine, not the orchestra's, +"

Getting Up.

The Duke of Wellington slept IN IN
iron camp bedstead IS inches wide and
argued that when a man wants to turn
over it is time TO turn out" Edward
Everett Hale quotes this remark of the
duke in the Ten Times One Record"
and takes issue with him. 1.-The prin-
ciple is well enough, " says DIR. Hale,
''but l think the detail is wrong. Sleep
is far too important to be made ncom-
Portable" DIR. Hale goes on to ell of
various ingenious devices for automat-
ically waking II sleeper. A friend of his
fixed his alarm so that at the foreordain-
ed moment the bedclothes were dragged
from the bed. The same gentleman
found another continuance which work
ed better. The alarm struck a match,
which lighted the lamp which boiled
the water for Rossiter's shaving. If
Rossiter staid in bed too long. the wa
ter boiled we upon his razor and clean
shirt and the prayer book his mother
gave him and ColeriSge's autograph and
his open pocketbook and all the other
precious things he could put in a basin
underneath when he went TO bed; so he
had to get up before that moment
came"

A SENSE OF HUMOR

en- Lifsfs Way.
| regard a sense of humor as one of
the most precious gifts that can be
vouchsafed to q human being. He is not
necessarily a better man for having it,
but he is a happier one. 1t renders him
Indifferent to good or bad fortune. Ii
enables him to enjoy his own discount
ture.
Blessed with this sense he is never
unduly elated or cast down. No one
can ruffie his temper. No abuse disturbs
his equanimity. Bores do not bore him.
Humbugs do not humbug him. Solemn
airs do not impose on him. Sentimental
gush does not influence him. The follies
of the moment have no hold on him.
Titles and decorations are but childish
baubles in his eyes. Prejudice does not
warp his Judgment. He is never in con
ceit on out of conceit with himself. He
abhors all dogmatism. The world is a
stage on which actors strut and fret for
his e~ditication and amusement, and he
pursues the even current Of his way, in
vulnerable, doing what is right and
proper according to his lights, but ut
terly Indifferent whether what he does
finds approval or disapproval from 9th
ers.
If Hamlet had had any sense of hu-
NOR, he would not have been nuisance
to himself and to all surrounding him.

HE SAVED THE MILK.
1t Required Genius to do 1t. but He was
Equal to the Occasion.

EquAi To the Occaai0n.
Talking about cows" said Andy
Henderson, Il really think that l had
one of the most peculiar experiences
with the animals in question that ever
befell "A citizen of west Texas. 1t was
soon after | went to Ell Paso, some ten
years ago, and before | had got familiar
with the yagaries of the FL Paso eli
mate.
II had settled ON a very pretty ranch
some miles out of the progressive from
tier city and WAS doing nicely until |
decided to go into the butter business.
| sent east for a dozen fine Jersey cows
and began operations. Well, the cows
came on, and | hustled the butter bust
ness from the jump. Things progressed
nicely for a month, when the weather
grew very warm and the atmosphere
very dry. The Rio Grande dwindled
until a roach could have waded across.
Every bit of moisture disappeared, but
this did not affect me, because l had 4
fine artesian well ON the ranch and
plenty of water. | observed, however,
that my cows were losing milk day by
day, until at last they were perfectly
dry. l was astounded, for they had
plenty of feed and lots Of water from
the we'll. l couldn't understand it and
determined TO investigate.
Il got up an hour before daylight and
examined the cows, and, to my aston
ishment, | found the udders Of the COWS
heavy with milk. l did not milk the
the animals, but simply watched and
waited developments. Day dawned and
the COWS lazily meandered into the pas
ture, and / followed. The sun came up,
and with the sun came the terrible dry
ness, but it didn't feaze me in the least.
What knocked me u was the sight of
my cows udders. They were growing
smaller and smaller as | looked until
they were as flaccid as a punctured tire.
Then l tumbled. The dryness of the at
mosphere simply evaporated the milk

What did | do? Why, l vanished

the milk couldn't ooze through the

Il am the mother of ten children and

years ago we had a serious time with
my daughter, which began when she
was about sixteen years old. She did
not have any serious illness but seemed
to gradually waste away. Having
