A CHICAGO GIRL 5 CROWN
WIFE OF THE NICEROY OF INDIA
WEARS ONE.
At Government Receptions She viii
Royal Robes and Priceless Jewels

An American girl, Mrs. George n.
Curzon, will shortly occupy a rank
next to Queen Victoria in the British
empire, as her husband, George Cur
zon, has just been appointed viceroy
to all India. This is the first time the
exalted rank has been conferred on
a commoner since the great Warren
Hastings held it.
Mrs. Curzon is 81. She has great
beauty, Sj,00O,OOO as dowry and a
young husband, who is already one of
the great men of the nation. She is
tall, dark, majestic. Her hair and her
complexion are entrancingly beauti-
full. She is brilliantly accomplished,
and has been gifted by nature with a
ready wit. This is reputed to take a
severe turn at times.
Mrs. Curzon will appear as a great
sovereign before the millions of In
dia. A beautiful, brilliant and talent
ed American girl, she is peculiarly fit
ted to teach the courtly Hindus how
great a power a woman may WELD
The viceroy of India has splendid
palaces at Calcutta and Simla. The
Calcutta palace is known as Govern
ment House, and is the largest official
ceeding in size any of Queen Victoria S
palaces. The Simla palace is a large
and beautiful place in the mountains,
intended for use in the summer time
when life in Calcutta becomes I'M
bearable.
The court of India over which Mrs.
Curzon will rule is far more splendid
and ceremonious than that of Eng
land This is absolutely necessary in
order to impress the natives and the
semi-independent princes, who still
form a very important element in the
Indian empire. When the viceroy re-
cieves at the Government House he
wears uniform heavy with gold lace
and sits upon a throne, wears royal
robes, covered with diamonds and
priceless jewels, and a crown upon his
head.
Four years ago Mrs. Curzon was
Miss Mary Letter of Chicago and
Washington. Her brother, Joseph
Letter, is the young man who recent
ly lost $5.OO0,0O0 for the family in try
ing to corner wheat in Chicago.
Her husband will rule over 100000
900 subjects of the British crown in
Indian, and will receive salary of
100000 year and 100000 at the
same time for expenses. The cost Of
maintaining the viceregal establish
ment is something enormous, and for
mer viceroys have sometimes found
that they had to dip into their own
private purses to help pay for main
tanning the official splendor of their
position. The salary and expense
money received by Mr.. Curzon is six
times more than the president of the
United States receives.
Mr.. Curzon will undoubtedly be
raised to the peerage, possibly an earl
dom, before he takes Office, and his
wife will DIN in the honors. This is
the first time in history that an Amc-
rican woman has risen to such a high
station in the British empire. Many
believe the appointment is furnished
as an augury of the much talked e
Anglo-American alliance.

Fruit.

The Guava, like the Mango,
a fruit which furnishes food
for many a people throughout
all tropical countries, possesses
medicinal virtues which are
certainly beneficial. A fam
Gus English writer, in treating
on the subject, stated that the
Almighty might have made a
better fruit, but if so it had
not been discovered.

Within our shores we grow
a bountiful supply of these

well known the introduction OF
the name is sufficient to insure
the endorsement Of most all
who have INDUCED in eating
the fruit.

shaded her eyes with her thin hand and
watched the little red and white figure
and the bright blue sun bonnet dissp-
pear in the apple blossoms. Then she
walked down the path to syringa bush
which grew in the center between four
white bee hives. and broke off branch.
She brushed the droning bees from the
star-like flowers and turned back 10 the
house. She put the syringa in broken
white dish on the kitchen table with
some honeysuckle which she had pickeo
from the trellis outside and then sat
down by the open window where lilac
bush bent under the weight Of its pur-
pie blossoms. She smoot ned her hair
back with her hand and then began to
overcast long seam in piece of white
cloth.
Outside in the brightness of the warm
sun tine air was heavy with the perfume
of spring flowers. The robins and wrens
sang and quarrelled among themselves,
for they were nesting. The bees buzzed
and droned busily about the flowers and
in the distance the clear whistle of some
farm boy could be heard above the rum.

No Wonder It's . Craze.
The silver question, as it is under
stood In some parts Of Kentucky, Is
graphically illustrated by a letter
which one Of the statesmen at the cap
itol received from correspondent in
that state. 1t appears from this epis-
tolary evidence that a controversy was
being waged between a sound-money
man and a silver champion. The gold
man thought he had the best of the
argument. He asked his adversary why
he thought that the free coinage Of sill
yer would make times better.
Simply because it would put more
money in circulation" said the white
metal crank.
But how will it put more money In
circulation? demanded the gold man.

smile Of contempt at his opponent

How the German emperor will bring
up his only daughter is no subject
of wonderment to the Berliners. They
know that, princess as she is, she will
be taught to be a good housewife. to
sew, to cook perhaps, and to order din
ner certainly. For the sovereign's ideal
woman is a strictly domestic person,
as his ideal man is stout soldier. His
little boys haven't much fun in their
daily lives. Concerning these lives the
Sketch says: In the Spartan upbring-
ing of his children the kaiser rivals his
ancestor, Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia.
According to Klausmann's "Leben in
Deutschen Kaiserhaus," the life Of the
royal children of Berlin is not sweet
ened by hours of inactivity. In their
years of infancy the kaiserin ministers
to almost all their wants, spends
good part of the day with them and
enters into all their amusements, When
the princes arrive at the age of 9 things
are all changed and it is all work.
They are then allowed about an hour
and half out of their waking hours to
themselves; all the rest of their day
is spent in study and physical training.

Nlanchard Sailed In Air Before Balloess
Were Made
Eighty-dve years ago there died in
Paris, Blanchard, the first man to gain
celebrity as a balloonist, says the New
York Mail and Express. He was born
in 1873 and before the balloon was in
vented he had Eavigated the air in an
atmospheric machine of his own inven-
ton, which was propelled with oars
and which attained a height above
ground of about eighty feet. Blanch-
ard made his first ascent in a balloon
at Paris, March 2, 1854. On January Z.
17S5, he crossed the English channel
in a balloon, accompanied by DIR. JET
fries. Under the circumstances it was
Q feat of great daring. The aeronauts
the Trip ended cast away everything
but the basket under the balloon, and
were about to cut it away when they
were carried over the town of Calais
and finally dropped in q forest. The
officials Of Calais gave Blanchard
dinner, presented to him papers of citi-
zenship in a gold box, gave him 81 200
for his balloon and a pension of $125
yearly. The king of France also pen
stoned him. Blanchard boosted that
he had risen $1,000 feet higher than
any aeronaut of his time. He made
sixty ascensions, the last one causing
his death. His wife continued the
business after him and was killed by
fall from a balloon in 1919. Albert of
Saxony, Dominican monk, Is credited
with having formed the first correct
idea of building balloons early in the
fourteenth century, but his ideas never
took practical shape. While the scien.
fists were working on the question in
1888 the brothers Montgolfisr, paper
makers, near Lyons. made anc sent up
the first balloon on June 5. This bal.
loon was made of linen, was 315 feet in
circumference and rose LOGO feet. It
was filled with heated air. About three
months later Prof. Charles sent up his
balloon, called "Charliere." It trav.
eled some miles from the starting and
fell in village. The peasants re-
garded it as living monster, and fell
upon it with pitchforks and fails and
tore it to pieces, to the loss and disgust
of It's owner.
The first living things to leave ths
earth in a balloon were a sheep, a hen
and duck. They landed safely ana
che sheep was found grazing. The first
ascent in a hydrogen balloon was made
by Prof. Charles in Paris, Dec. l, 1888.

pink and white apple orchard slopes
down the hill and q clump OF cherry

Aunt Lefty loved to sit on the little
back porch Of the cottage and look
across the river to the low hills beyond
but little Susan liked better to play in
the apple orchard on the soft blue grass
which grew 90 close to t ie great dark
trunks Of the trees.
One morning Aunt Lefty finished
wiping the last dish, hung up the white
dish towel, united her large checked
apron and stepped to the door. She
shaded her eyes from the bright sun
and drew long breath Of the fragrant
cool air.
Susan" she called shrilly, "Susan!"
A thin little girl about nine years old
came running down the narrow path
from the orchard. She carried a ragged
doll by the feet. Her sunbonnet was
hanging on her back and her brown hair
was mussed into tiny waves and curls
about her head. Aunt Lefty pursed her
lips. Aunt Lefty had thin lips. Her
nose was thin too and sharp at the end.
Her shiny black hair was smoothed
straight back into little knot. 1t was

very straight and stiff and her thin

"Come in now" she said to Susan.
