SORROWS OF A MONARCH.
Result Of Installing y Retired washer
woman In His Place.

WvAhh IN MS AAhves
Some years. ago the great king OF
Samoa lived In solitary grandeur In his
palace, that Ia, In the three-roomed
cottage furnished him by the United
States He was virtuous aud conse-
quently he was happy--or should have
been, according to tho old tradition.
But in the nearby nelghborhood there
lived and moved and had her being, n
big, healthy woman, erstwhlle washer
woman TO the officers Of the naval
shipB stationed In Apia harbor. How
the great king ever came TO cast
sleeps eyes at the woman will ever
remain q mystery. But history shows
that he did, and that she did duly
take her place In his palace, and was
greeted as Queen TUT. This went
along all right for time, but one day
tho government bethought itself that
queen Tui was not Samoan and
ought to DO ousted, and make room
for native queen In her place, They,
therefore, proposed to parade the
handsomest young ladies' OF tho Island,
up and down before the palace, thus
basely tempting the king from his al
leglance to her of the banlshed tubs,
Then It was that TUT rose in her might
and closely curtained the windows OF
the palace and then sailed away to
distant lands to procure proof Of her
own royal ancestry, and incidentally
her right to mate with any king alive
But poor TUT did not succeed and came
back In disgrace, 80 far as proofs were
concerned, However, she soon over
came this slight obstacle, declaring
that since she had left her native land
war had TRANSFERRED, and her own
nation been licked. This sufIccd for
the samoans, and Queen TUT again
grasped the opportunity to regain her
old position in the palace of the king
OF Samoa. And as is often the case,
those who did most mallgn her. seeing
ner success, bowed lowest to greet her
40 queen Of Samoa Detroit Tribune,

Tho divisions OF the Baltimore a
Ohio Railroad west Of tho Ohio river
are to receive the same sort Of Inn
provoments that have been made on
the lines east OF the Ohio, Not only
are the grades to be reduced wherever
II 10 practicable, but very much hoRy"
Ter motive power is to be introduced.
In order to carry the additional weight
the bridges on all the divisions are
being replaced with heavier structures
and the track relaid with heavier steel
rail. II has been demonstrated by 40
tual experiment that these changes
will result in an increase In train load
ing in some places of moro than 30
per cent, the average being about A
per cent. II Is the hope Of the receiV-
ers that within the next two years the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will DO an
1S-foot grade road from Chicago TO
Baltimore, with the exception OF chat
portion of II which passes over the
mountains whore helping engines Will
have to be used, A great many Of the
estimates for the different portions OF
the work have been made, and those
who have seen the plans state that the
work can be done at surprisingly
low cost considering the return. II
Ia understood that the policy Of re-
Mobilization adopted by the receivers
two years ago will be continued by
the new company after the reorgani-
zation.
