With perhaps unwai'ranted frankness
on some occasions. Mr.. Cook has been
accused of this weakness before, espe-

summer for Gear Anyhow, Mr.. Cool
vas brought to Dies Moines to assist in
the Gear work, and told a friend conf
dentially that the C'ummins people had
made a good deal of trouble by stirring
up disaffection over Bowen. Mr. Cook
admitted that just at present the sit

he reckoned the boys would straighten

COMMANDED TO PAINT.

Attendant Upon the Maxi
ing of Portraits of Royalty.
Court etiquette Is a trying thing to
plain people. An amusing story Is told
in the recently published memoirs, wv.
G. Wills, Dramatist and Painter" OF
the time when Mr.. Wills was called
upon to attend at court. He was thor
ough bohemian, and when his pastels
attracted so much attention that the
Queens secretary wrote requesting
him to attend at Osborne to do pOr-
traits of her grandchildren the invita-
ton filled him with deep dismay.
In ignorance Of the etiquette which
construes q royal invitation into a COM
mand, he thought to get out of 1t by
writing polite note, stating that
prior engagement would prevent his at
tending. The next day telegram came
from Osborne to the following effect:
"The Queen commands Mr.. Wills to
attend at Osborne Immediately"
The artist was far too loyal a sub.
ject to dispute her Majesty's direct
commands, SO he ruefully packed w
his belongings and started for the royal
palace. AS might we'll be supposed
his life at Osborne was uncongenial
When he was doing a portrait of a roy.
al baby on all fours, and good-humor
edly said, Look up. little one," the
lady-in- waiting reproved his familiar
ity, and told him he must address the
infant as princess or your royal high
ness.
The pastel portraits which he made
still hang at Osborne, and Of course
royal patronage gave a great stimulus
to sitters, and his reputation was made

That q brilliant array of facts calcu
iatingly displayed may be made to pale
before one Of little OF no light handled
haphazard is amusingly shown by the
following from the New York Tribune:
When q young man, a well-knowu
civil engineer surveyed the route Of
proposed railroad. An old farmer with
whom he stopped for a time admitted
one day, when he saw hin: figuring IN
the field, that mathematis always
seemed a wonderful thing to him.
Being young and enthusiastic, the
engineer began to enlarge upon It's
wonders. telling him how we could
measure the distances to different
planets, and even weigh them: how we
could fortell accurately the coming Of
a comet or an eclipse years in advance
Of its actual occurrence, determine the
velocity Of the fiercest projectile, ascer-
tain the heights of mountains without
scaling them, and many other things
meant to astonish him.
"Yes, yes, them things does seem
kinder GURUS" the old farmer replied,
''but what allus bothered me was to
understan' why We have ter carry one
for ev'ry ten. But If ye don't" he con-
cluded, with conviction, "the plaguy
thing won't come out right"

r.. on tho Terrace.

On the whole, the terrace Of the
House of Commons Is the finest in Eng
land. The view from 1t IL most impos-
ing. Near on the left Ii Westminster
bridre. and the spectator may watch
the trafac Of the bridge. and hear its
roll or rumble, while he is IN the quiet
nde of the terrace. Between the broad
arches he may perceive the graceful
outlines Of Waterloo bridge. At night
the long rows of lighted lamps In oil
directions are reflected on the river.
This is the spot where the tea parties
well known In London society are held.
To have "tea on the terrace" as the
phrase goes, is the natural ambition of
every one. 1t is Of the utmost convent
ence to the member to be able to sho "
thi. attention to his friends, and espe-
cially to his constituents and their fam
lies. On a summers afternoon the
collection of these tea parties amounts
to a reception given by the Commons
TO London and the constituencies. The
mixture of tea tables Is typical Of the
local character. Here will be table
with some of the most fashionable per.
sons: near 1t will be one where latol
member Is entertaining his family
next will be one where a philosophit
member Is receiving learned ladies
The whole scene is one Of diversified
animation and vivacity seldom eQualet

About a dozen Of the 400 barons In
the British House of Lords date back
to 14OO, the earliest being 1864. The
oldest family in the British Isles is the
Mar family Of Scotland, 1898. The
Campbells Of Argyle, to whom belongs
the present Duke of Argyll, began in
119O. Talleyrand dates from 1189. Bis
marck from 1910, the Grosvenor fam
ily, the Dukes Of Westminster, 1886;
the Austrian house Of Hapsburg goes
back to 952. and the House of Bourbon
to 884. The descendants Of Mahomed,
born $40, are all registered carefully
and authoritatively kept In Mecca by
the chief Of the family. Little or no
doubt exists Of the absolute authentt-
city of the long line of Mahomed's de-
scendants. In China there are many old
families, also among the Jews
When 1t comes to pedigrees there is
one gentleman to whom the world
must take on its hat as a great and
only none-such. This is the Mikado of
Japan. His place has been filed by
members Of his family for more than
$500 years. The present Mikado is the
one hundred and twenty-second Of the
line. The first one was contemporary
with Nebuchadnezzar, 666 years before
Christ.

GAMES OF CHINESE CHILDREN.


They Are Very Like Those Played by
American Young People.
There are two theories In regard to
those children's games that are found
to be identical in different lands One
is that the games are borrowed by the
younger people from the older; the 9TH
er, that the games are Of Independent
invention. Some light is shed on this
question by passages from "A Corner
Of Cathay."
A game called "the water-demon
seeking a dem is played by five per-
sons, precisely like ''puss-in-the-cor-
ner." This is q native game, not an
imported one; and no one knows
whether Chinese and European chill
dren invented it independently. or
whether the knowledge Of 1t was inner
tied by both from ancient, common an
cestors.
The same may be said Of "the cat's
cradle" which ia made with a string.
and passed from one pair Of hands to
another. precisely as among CHILDREN In
America and Europe; but the Chinese
call 1t Saving wood" in reference to
the final act in the performance.
A game involving much muscular
exercise Is called 1.-The lame chicken.
1t is played by jumping on one foot
between shoes that have been placed
across a road at intervals Of about ten
inches. When the end Of the line Of
shoes is reached the last shoe In the
line Is kicked away by the lame" foot
and then 1t is picked up and carried
back over the route to the other end OF
the line, when a second shoe may be
likewise Kicked away and picked VI
before returning.
Only one foot may touch the ground
and 1t must touch 1t only once In eact
interspace. No shoe may be touched
except the ones which end the line. and
the shoes kicked away must be picked
up without putting the '1ame" foo
upon the ground. When the CHECKER
violates any Of these rules he must a
once give place to another performer.
The shorter the line. the more dim
cult it 10 to collect shoes, because eacl
shoe taken involves turning arount
without using the lame leg. The win
ner in the game is he who has af thu
end of it the greatest number Of shoes

A Remarkable Cloud-Bsnd.

A singular atmospheric phenomenon.
recently noticed by Mr.. De G. Ward
along the western. coast Of South Amer
lea, is a bank or band Of cloud extend
ing for 1000 miles, from Ecuador to
the center Of Chill, and following the
trend of the coast range Of hills. The
cloud band Is between ten and twenty
miles broad, floats at an elevation OF
between 1900 and 5000 feet. and has
a vertical thickness Of not less than
1000 feet. Mr.. Ward ascribes this
curious phenomenon to the prevalence
of cool southerly and southwesterly
winds, blowing obliquely alongshore,
and having their moisture condensed
BY the coast hill range just sufficiently
to produce clouds without rain

The fisherman who tells you he does
not care about the fish he catches is
not to be believed, says the veteran

of New York. In the Century he writes:
Never believe a fisherman who tells
you that he does not care about the hAh
he catches. He may say that he angles
only for the pleasure Of being out of
doors, and that he is just as we'll con-
tented when he takes nothing as when
he makes a good catch. He may think
so, but It Is not true. He Is not telling

Ancient Records,

The authentic records of the Chinese
race began about 1000 years ago.
though the traditional history extends
back much further. As matter of
TACT, however. the reliable record of
China does not 60 back further than
ZOOS B. O., and 1t is believed by chron-
illogical authorities that the Chinese
annals do not antedate those Of Egypt.
The earliest dynasty Of China. that of
Han, dates from 2O6 B. G. to 22O A. D.,
and the long list Of preceding dynasties
s believed to have little better founda-
ion than in the imaginations Of the
Chinese historians.-St. Louis Globe
