Royal Hotel Keepers.

The king of Wurttemberg may be re-
garded as a hotel keeper as well as a
monarch. This has long been a tradi-
ton in his family, but not until lately
was it discovered by the rulers of the
beautiful little German kingdom how
profitable innkeeping can become. When
Peter the Great was travelling incognito
through Europe, he refused to stop any
where but at an inn. To circumvent
this whim the then king of Wurttem-
berg put a tavern sign outside one of
the royal palaces and, dressed as an
innkeeper, himself welcomed the z
This royal personage's descendant now
owns two large hotels, from which he
is said to derive a revenue equaling
$50, 900 a year.

The handsome new Methodist church
at Anglesea narrowly escaped destruc-
ton by fire last night about seven
o'clock. Frank Godfrey and some
small children were in the building at
the time filling the oil stoves which
were used to heat the room while the
decorations for Christmas were in pro-
gress. In doing so oil overfiowed on
the floor and a lighted match was al
lowed to touch it after the lamp had
been lit. Instantly the stove was all
ablaze. Help soon arrived and the
flames were quelled with buckets of
water. The small vestibule was COM
pletely ruined and o. ceiling of the
whole church vas spoiled to an extent
of about SO. The church was insured
by w. II. Bright.

Court HOq HIte mafDIC Siiofe:
was the <& ost marking the true
meridian Shlch passes through the
little village, but about it hung u tale
SO strange that both candidates listened
to it with wonder. The story is that in
the town of Cape May Court House
there is no such thing as direction.
There is no north, no south, no east and
no west.
A gray bearded man told the can
didates that two centuries ago, when
Cape May Court House had one house,
no one suspected that the "true merid-
iann ran through it. Afterwards it
was discovered by a surveyor and the
Court House was placed ear the spot
and a marble shaft placed in front of
the building upon the plot surface of
which the true meridian was, so to
speak, nailed fast.
That was way back in 1903.
Years passed by, and the marble
shaft stood Drawing wind and rain. Cape
May Court House grew. More people
settled there, and finally the Court
House building was raised just in front
Of the meridian post, about 1850.
But an evil day came!
1t was when the railroad was being
put through that a surveyor stretched
the legs of his theodolite over where
Clinton Hand, a grandson of the discov-
erer of the true meridian, proudly
pointed out the true meridian. The
surveyor adjusted and readjusted his
instrument.
"Pshaw ~ he exclaimed, "there is no
more meridian here than there is an
equator
"What?n gasped Clinton, o get
ting along in years, "no m~eridian?'
NO. answered the surveyor, "or if
there was it's moved.n
With fear lending him wings, Gin
ton sped home and told the news. 1t
spread owe the town like an alarm of
fire. People dropped all occupations
and gathered in the streets. The me-
ridian moved? Stolen, perhaps. Some
one jealous of the honor done the town
had changed the meridian shaft, and
the location of the true meridian was
lost forever.
A crowd of fearful t~ownspeople were
gathered in John Farrow's tavern the
other day when--who was
Postmaster for twenty-seven years,
came in.

edly, pointing TO u Seutlng OrD. II
was going down in the east instead of
the west. Then the terrible truth forced
itself ON the Inhabitants of Cape May
Court House. They were without
direction.
"Where's north?u asked one man.
Eyes, and where's south?" asked
another, but no one could answer them.
Gradually a great change came over
the town. The SUI rose in the south
and setIin the east. To the minds of
the towhspeople the showed her
pale fade for a minute where the north
star used to be seen. Moss began grow
ing on the west instead of the north
sides of3trees; the wind, almost always
in the east, now came from the north.
