A Quaint Ceremony in Madrid.

The Queen Regent held at the palace
in Madrid the ceremony of the invesu-
CATION of eleven Grandees of the first
class who have succeeded to Duke
doms, Marquisates and Earldoms ere
ated between the years 1868 and 1910.
They were invested in the order of
their precedence, the Duke of Medina

Peer of Spain, possessing twenty tltles
and f150,000 income, coming first, fol-
lowed by the Marquis Astorga, Count
Oropesa, Dukes ARGOS, Luna, Alag,

quis Santa Cruz and Count Castrillo.
The Queen stood surrounded by the
high dignitaries and ladies of the

their sponsors, who are Grandees OF
the same class, were successfully ush-
cred in by the Lord Chamberlain and
the Lords-in- Waiting. All the Grandees

of his ancestors who preceded him In

Guards drawn up on the palace stairs,
in order that the Guards might know
them and pay them the usual honors

palace. where alone they have the right
to remain uncovered in the presence OF
royalty.-Pall Mall Gazette.

RATES OF ADVERTISING.
AN AUCTIoNeER's RUsE.
which He Employed to Interest
Sluggish Audience.

An auctioneer on East Washington
street-one of those redoublable indi-
yiduals commonly termed "siick"-was
the cause of a farcial scene the other
afternoon that would have done credit
to a burlesque show. He had been
talking industriously for a long time
to a crowd of interested but unenthu-
siastic listeners. His audience was
largely made up of that class of men
who find the Court House and the
liquid establishments opposite COM
bination loafing grounds not to be re-
sisted.
The affable auctioneer conscientious
~ went through his repertoire from be-
ginning to end, says the Indianapolis
Journal, but somehow the crowd
did not warm up" to him-to quote
his own language. Finally, with dark
look that bordered on despair, he
grabbed up welLworn pasteboard
hat box containing about fifty spools
of silk thread of different colors. With
the grace of a conjurer he extracted
five of the spools, and, arraying them
in tempting semi-circle on the coun-
ter, announced that they were ito go
at any price"
,
with mods of approval that they were
good spools of thread, displayed no
marked inclination to become excited
over them. Not bid was offered.
"I'll sell 'em for 10 cents" suggested
the auctioneer, timidly. 1t was plain.
from the tone of his voice, that he was
losing faith in himself and in all the
world There were no takers. The
man-of-the-red- flag added three more
spools to the semi-circle. "All for 10
cents" he declared. But thread stock
was far below par. The auctioneer
caught up all the spOols from the coun-
ter and flung them into the box with
an impressive gesture. The light of in
spiration flashed from his eyes.
"The whole d. box for 10 cents!
he cried.
'I'll take it," was the prompt re-
Spouse, and a little man in washed
out overcoat and wearer OF red chin
whiskers stepped out from the crowd
with a dirty 10-cent piece in his up
raised hand The auctioneer clutched
the money feverishly. and, turning the
box upside down so that all the spools
dropped into a basket on the counter,
he handed the worthless piece of an
cient pasteboard to the anxious Gus
toner. A roar of hilarious laughter
rose from the crowd that was heard
throughout that neighborhood.
"T don't want your darned old box!"
walled the unfortunate purchaser.
"You said you'd take it" replied the
auctioneer. "Tll leave it to the crowd
didn't he?"
EYES," came in a strong chorus from
the delighted audience.
II bought the spools!"
"No, you didn't--you bought the box
I'll leave it to the crowd-didn't he?'
Yes came the answer again,
stronger than ever. The red-whisker-
ed man stalked Indignantly from the
place with the box under his arm.
What you goin' to do with it?" yell
ed the crowd.
That's what" cried the SPECTATOR
as he held the pasteboard box in both
hands. football fashion, and then kick
ed it vigorously into the middle OF
Washington street.

"Gone to Perdition."

"I went to a big revival meeting
down in Little Rock one night last
week." said a travelling inspector OF
Indian agencies who fitted into town
a couple of days ago. The revival
had been going on IN one OF the big
halls down there for some time and the
best sheep were being gathered in by
the slews. The minister conducting
the meetings was OF the perferyidest
kind. and at the end of each of his
surrounding sentences picturing the
WAYS of evil he would command all OF
those in the crowd who wanted to be
saved to stand up. There'd be size
able bunch come to perpendicular
posture every time, and he'd count
them out loud and bestow words OF
praise upon them for their nerve in
standing up. A couple Of young fell
lows who sat next to me got UP to go
out Just as the minister came to one
of the counting periods, and as they
got out into the aisle he shouted:
1.-TWO more"
when, however. he saw the young
chaps proceeding down the aisle to-
ward the door. he added the words:
"'Gone to perdition!'
Zone of the young fellows, who
looked like a mountaineer in Little
Rock for warm time, turned around
IN his tracks, gazed at the minister
sleepily, and said:
"'All right, pard; see you later. ~
