Antilles God.

Almost as ancient as the earth her
self was Eros, the personifcation Of
love. Hesiod relates that he was
among the first of existing things, and
that he assisted Earth in bringing
forth from chaos the earliest forms of
life and beauty. Arlstophanes and
others wrote of Eros as the son Of
Night. Later poets sang Of him as the
son Of Ares and Aphrodite, and honored
him as the sweet-minded promoter of
human affections. They represented
him as a fair-faced boy, winged and
carrying a bow with which to inflict
sweet wounds upon those who came
within range. Nor has Eros ceased to
exist even in this practical age, for to
this day the poets sing of this little
winged god, as skillful and as pitiless
as in the days OF old The philosophic
myth OF Eros and Psyche is one OF the
most beautiful of the ancient allegorieG.

One Verse OF Poetry Paid for Robbie
Burns Dinner.

One Verse OF Poetry Paid for Robbie
Burns Dinner.
Here Is a story told of Robert Burns
in his youth. Burns was living in
the town of Ayr, and though still
young had attained more than a local
reputation as a poet, says the Newcas-
tie (England) Chronicle. One day he
was passing through the main street
of the town and saw two strangers sit
ting at one of the inn windows. With
idle curiosity he stopped to look at
them. Seeing him and thinking that
the rustic might afford them some
amusement while waiting, the strang-
ers called him in and asked him to
dine with them. Burns readily ac-
cepted the invitation and proved a
merry, entertaining guest. When dim
ner was nearly finished the strangers
suggested that each should try his
hand at versemaking and that the one
who failed to write a rhyme should pay
for the dinner. They felt secure in
the challenge, believing that their
rustic guest would pay for the meal.
The rhymes were written and Burns
read the following: 81, Johnny Peep,
saw two sheep; two sheep saw me.
Half a crown apiece will pay for their
fleece, and /, Johnny Peep, go free"
The strangers establishment was great
and they both exclaimed: "Who are
you? You must be Robbie Burns"

QUEEN MARY's PERMISSION.
Grants to an Earl the Right to Wear
Two Nightcaps.

Among the musty state documents
OF Great Britain is one which every
reader OF Miss Strickland's Lives of
the Queens" inevitably giggles over,
says the Memphis Scimitar. In the
life Of Queen Mary Miss Strickland
reproduces a wonderful state docu-
ment, in which her majesty grants
special permission to one of her coun-
cilors to wear a night cap in her pres
ence. This royal concession is made,
presumably as a reward for valuable
services rendered. The earl of Sussex
was the nobleman thus honored. The
earl was a valetudinarian and had
great fear of uncovering his head.
Considering, therefore, that the colds
he dreaded respected no persons, he
petitioned Queen Mary for leave to
wear a cap in her presence. The queen
not only gave him leave to wear one,
but two nightcaps II he pleased. His
patent for this privilege is unique in
royal annals: Know we that we do
grant to our well-beloved and trusty
cousin and councillor, Henry. earl of
Sussex, license and pardon to wear his
cap, Golf, or nightcap, or any two of
them at his pleasure, as well in our
presence as in the presence of any
other person within this realm, or in
any other place in our dominlons
whatsoever during his life, and these,
our letters, shall be sufficient warrant
in his behalf" The queens seal was
affixed to this singular grant Three
persons in Great Britain alone enjoy
the privilege of remaining covered in
the royal presence-Lord Forester.
Lord Kinsale and the master of
Trinity college, Cambridge.

where the birds can see themselves in

blnation of a musical box and a look

anything else one could put out for

MOTHER AGAINST DAUGHTER.
A Family snarI Which the Probate
Court Is Asked to Fix

Mother and daughter are plaintiff and
defendant in a case now pending in
the probate court. Early in the present
year Mrs Mary Plantz applied to have
guardian appointed to look after the
estate Of her mother, Mrs. Bridget Nc
Closky, who, it was alleged was suf-
fering from softening of the brain. The
estate is valued at $4,000, and consists
of a bank account and personal effects
Mrs. Plantz was duly appointed
guardian of her mother, and, at con-
siderable expense, she alleged, she
moved to st. Paul from her former
home in Philadelphia, to look after
Mrs. McClosky's affairs. The latter
soon resented her daughters interfer-
ence and instructed Attorney C. D.
O'Brien to take action to have her
daughter dismissed as her guardian.
demanding ain accounting of her stew.
ardship of the estate. In August last
Judge Willrich decided that Mrs
Plantz was not fit person to admin
lister Mrs McCloskys affairs and or,
dered her removal.
Mrs. Plantz has now appealed from
this decision, protesting that no petit
ton has ever been filed against her in
the regular way, and the fight between
mother and daughter promises to be
quite lengthy.

HER MANIA HARMLESS.
Ella Paul's HaIIucinatiOn a Puzzle
for Judge WiIIrich

Ella Paul, a widow, aged thirty mine.
residing at PIG Robertson street. has
been acting queerly of late. Since her
husbands death two years ago she has
been earning a living for herself and
her five-year-old boy by doing washing
for families in her neighborhood. Some
weeks ago she was seized with the hall
Inclination that she had a comforta bic
bank account, that the dwelling she Oc-
cUpied was her own property and that
she could live very nicely Independents
ly Of the washtub. Since she ceased to
do manual labor her cupboard has
been empty, and she and her child
have been supported by contributions
of food from kind-hearted people of
Robertson street.
Thursday Mrs. Paul refused to eat
anything that was sent her. Her neigh
bors then decided to call in the au-
thorlties. The demented woman was
brought before Judge Willrich in the
probate court yesterday afternoon. She
clptched her little boy passionately to
her breast and begged the judge not
to take him from her. She still talked
about her real estate, however, and
was plainly out of her mind.
The court decided to adjourn the case
for a week with a view to making ar
engagements to care for Mrs. Paul and
her child at the workhouse or poor
farm. The judge considers the woman
harmless, but thinks that a separa-
ton of mother and child might trans
form her into a dangerous maniac.
This is a case where the charitable
institutions of ST. Paul might do a lit
tie Christian work." added the court.
