A GOOD SUBSTITUTE.
The Prince of Wales Told to Send His
Mother.
[To BE CONTINUED ]

Amidst all the formality which ne
cessarily surrounds royalty, it must be
quite refreshing to meet with little
genuine naturalness. Such a refresh
ment was at one time afforded the
prince OF Wales by a good magistrate
of one of the pottery towns.
The duke of Sutherland had pre-
sented a park to the town to which the
worthy man belonged, and it was felt
that the opening was an event Of suffi
cient Importance to warrant the invit-
ing of the prince of Wales to perform
the ceremony. A deputation according
ly waited upon him, and a wealthy mag
istrate was chosen as spokesman. Hon
est John knew little of court etiquette,
and the proper behavior for the oc-
casion. His claims to the position he
assumed lay in the fact that he was
large-hearted, rough and ready, and
real Staffordshire."
The prince expressed regret that an
other engagement would prevent him
from officiating at the opening of the
park. II should have been most happy
to have con-e," he said, had l known
sooner"
Gamma tina spare half day just to
show thy face?" said the worthy
spokesman. 1--WE shall look fules when
we get back"
But even the showing of the princes
face was an impossibility, and the
deputation was at loss to know how
to proceed. Then brilliant idea struck
the leader, and his eyes frightened as
he turned once more to the prince and
said:
We'll, If tha Gamma come, send thy
mother."-Youth's Companion.

against the wall, his arms crossed, his
pipe in the corner of his mouth as calm
as though he had been in church; yet his
eye kept wandering furtively, and he
kept the tail of it on his unruly fol-
lowers. They on their part drew grad
ually together toward the far end of the
block-house, and the low hiss of their
whispering sounded in my ears contiD-
uously, like a stream. One after an
other they would look up, the red
light of the torch would fall for a Sec

not toward me, it was toward Silver
they turned their eyes.
"You seem to have a lot to say" re-
marked Silver, splitting far into the
air. Pipe up and let me hear it, or

And with an elaborate a-salute, this

The Wood Pulp Indust

It is estimated that 5000 to 1000 cords
of pulp wood a day enter into the manu-
facture of paper in the United States.
At the minimum, 5000 cords, the total
for u year would be the enormous
amount of 100000 cords. 1t is safe to
call it 100000. If this wood were piled
in one continuous string it would mako
q wall four feet wide and four feet high
a little over 1915 miles in length. 1t
can be seen what prodigious thing the
wood pulp industry is, and at what a
tremendous rate it is devouring trees.

converted into paper, which. after be.
ing used, vanishes from sight in few
days and goes back to dust, out of which
element the trees grow.

A Bachelors Sayings.

The main trouble with most women
is that their husbands don't neglect
them enough.
Probably the ass had the idea that
Balaam was taking her for present
to some woman.
When man refers to Honolulu you
may be pretty certain he isn't sure how
to pronounce Hawaii.
A philosopher is a man who can ad-
mire a woman after he has found out
that she doesn't admire him.
A woman will quarrel with her hus-
band for wearing his old coat around
the house the same day she puts off
combing her hair till after breakfast.
A man never knows whether he is
really in love with a woman till he has
tried to imagine how she would look
