STORIES BY SIR EDWARD RUSSELL

st. James Gazette: Sir Edward Rus
sell tells in the Liverpool Post an interest
ing story Of the queen as a ~crofter. He
prefaces it with the remark that one of
the queens little traits is a habit of en-
phasizing particular words.
On one occasion her majesty was
speaking to a gentleman of high situa-
ton, when she said:
Il don't like the So referring to a
landed family.
why, ma'am?'
oh, because thy are very bad to their
tenants; and many of their cottages are
IN a horrid state; and if anything is done
by any tenants at their own expense to
improve their condition, the first thing
the IS do is to raise the rent upon
them"
1t may well be supposed that at this
the gentleman who was honored with
this conversation rather smiled. He
said:
"Well, I am only glad, ma'am, that you
sympathiZe with the Affections of ten
ants
Whereupon the queen said:
'oh, | an a tenant myself. I hold
naminG a place of her majesty's) from
Mr.. - Of -, and I have made many
improvements, and every time | have
made an Improvement my rent has beer
raised"
Then the gentleman her majesty wa:
talking to laughed outright, n tn,
queens own eyes began to twinkle as HI
said:
well, ma'am, let me say this, tina,
you have now complained of nnderlies
and it is the basis and secret of the Who'll,
Irish question and the whole croftel
question. 1t is rather amusing to fine
your majesty suffering from grievance
as a crofter.'
Then her majesty laughed very much
II can only say" he added-with some
thing better than courtliness-"I car
only say how good it is to find you shar-
ms IN the Affections of the poorest of your
SUBJECTS
Sir Edward Russell also tells a good
story of the Bishop of London. 1t APP
pears that the bishop was travelling in
non-clerical attire, but without succeed
ing in altogether shaking off the clerical
appearance, and he was taken for a we'll
read curate by a gentleman conspicu-
Gus in commerce, and privately addicted
to mental c~ultiVation." This gentleman
found his travelling companion marvel
Ously well informed.
Whatever he talked about, especially

And with these and the other
usual messages the train carrying the
big excursion 10 Mexico pulled out of

1T was common, everyday sight to
Che station hands, and they gave IL
only passing glance. But to most OF
the travellers it was a novel expert
ence, and they looked on it as only the
beginning OF the days of sightseeing in
the land OF the Montezumas.
There were two passengers in one OF
the sleepers who attracted some atten-
ton. One was a woman of 60, tall and
straight, with carriage like a queen
and who seemed as young and gay as
the youngest. The other called her

girl Their son and brother had come
90 the station to bid them good-by,

the typical American man of that age
He had provided them with every
thing that his affection could suggest,
and told them to be sure and let him
know day by day where they were and
If they were well.
"And you will look after mother,
Alice, won't your"
AS he spoke two young ladies turned
and looked at him-his sister and a
younger woman, about %. She turned
inyoluntarily, and the pretty blush
that covered her cheek showed that her
name was Alice, too.
Robert Duncan glanced at her and
was struck by her beauty. But she
saw his look and turned away and
busted herself with her baggage. His
mother and sister both noticed the CO.
Incidence also and smiled.
$50 we will have two Alices along"
said his mother. II hope we shall be-
come acquainted with the young lady.
She looks very pleasant and very nice"
Just then the porter shouted "All
aboard" and Robert jumped from the
train. As the car passed him he
looked in vain for the faces OF his moth
er and sister. But he did see the face
of the other Alice looking at him with
some curiosity.
Then he returned TO his Office. lie
