STORIES OF ROYALTY.
Which Go to show That before Little
Children Kings and Queens
Unbend.

Two or three pretty stories have come
floating in to us from various sources
abroad-stories which. like those best
loved among fairy tales, have to do
with kings and queens and children.
Queen Victoria, it seems, sometimes
goes unannounced into the nursery at
Buckingham palace where the Batten-
berg children who live with her play
with each other or entertain their Wis
itors. Two little girls were among
these visitors the other day. when the
queen came into the room, very much
to their CONSERVATION. They had never
been taught how to address her. but.
having been well brought up in Bible
history, they suddenly remembered
what Daniel did before King Darius.
So they threw themselves at the feet
of the queen and cried out, with loud
voice: 20. queen, live forever" greatly
to her amusement, who, being most Of
all woman. as all good queens must,
laughed, and, taking them on her knee,
entertained them with funny questions.
Another story has to do with the Ger
man emperor in the Holy Land, when
all the children of the mission were
brought into his presence. (which is
the emperor?" asked the empress, and
the children with one accord shouted:
There he is," which threw the emperor
into pretended fright. and he jumped
back as if they had scared him, which
so greatly amused them all that they
shouted again with delight.
Simple stories, the reader will say.
Yes, but pretty ones, we think--there
were three or four others like them
and interesting too, as proving that be-
fore little children even kings and
queens, like the rest of us, must un-
bend, or else be proved unworthy of
high estates.-Harper's Bazaar.

They Tell Thi. In p.r,..

In Paris a wife, unreasonably in
censed against her husband. left him
and sojourned with her mother He
entreated her to return, but she re-
mained obdurate. Then he wrote 4
letter, which ran thus: when you
have read this letter the writer will
have ceased to live" Much alarmed
she summoned doctor and hurried
to the home she had deserted. They
knocked at the door; there was no an
swer. They burst it open, and there
was the unfortunate husband hanging
by the neck in dim corner. quite
dead. The wife flung herself upor
her knees in paroxysm of remorse,
but the doctor quietly cut the body
down and found that it was lay fig
ure. At that moment the husband APP
peared at the door, calm and slightly
quizzical. Instead of overwhelming
him with reproaches for his detestable
stratagem, the lady fell into his arms
and vowed that she would never leave
him again.-Chicago Times-Herald.

level recess, in which we buiIt the fire
upon our frying-pan and some stones
we found scattered about.
Fortunately there was fair draught
through crevice made for that pur-
pose long before. But still the smoke
was pretty bad, as our watery eyes and
constant coughing gave evidence.
Frank made as long passage as he
could parallel with the rock, so that
the hot air might go that way. Then
we awaited results.
The first was a stream of water that
made things very unpleasant for us un-
til we turned it off down an inclined
tunnel into the bank.
As the rock heated, the stream be-
came larger, and we joyfully perceived
that the scheme worked just as Frank
had said it would, until, when our wood
was completely gone. and the sled as
well, the smoke began to clear away
and finally went up in body around TIE
tongue of ledge overhead.
'Hurrah!" calculated Frank. ''The
ways clear now!"

until the fire burned away. and then
it took some time for the rock to cool
off, as it was nearly red hot in places.
1t did cool at last, however, and Jack,
hatchet in hand, crawled up the hole.
BY vigorously plying his weapon, he
enlarged it until we were all three able
to squeeze through and come out upon
the steep shelf-into starlight! 1t had
taken the whole afternoon to free our
selves.
l will say nothing about our return
down the hill, except that l wouldn't
make it again for small fortune. What
with darkness, cold, WEAKNESS and the
difficulties of the ground. it was about
as miserable an experience as / ever
had.
When we reached home that night,
we were sights to be seen," according
to our mothers, and everyone of us
afterward did have a cold except Jack,
who just missed rheumatic fever.
OF course Frank was a hero for a
long time, and we followed his advice
with much less grumbling than ever
before, remembering the way he res
cued us from that unpleasant predica-
ment in Keesaw Cave.-Golden Days.

LONGEST ON RECORD.


Rev. DIR. Campbell Fair, dean OF the
cathedral at Omaha. Neb.. lately told q
story in the course of one Of his SER
mons which seemed to be much appreci,
ated by the congregation.
When rector of the largest church In
Grand Rapids, Mich, DIR. Fair said, he
was requested to baptize child in the
private home of one of the wealthiest
members of his congregation. notwith-
standing the law in the Episcopal
church which prohibits baptism in .
private home save where the person to
be baptized is in state bordering on
death.
When DR.. Fair arrived at the home.
supposing he was to baptize sick
child. he was more than astonished to
find most elaborate order of arrange
ments laid out. The spacious rooms
were filled with relatives and friends,
and splendid repast at the hands Of a
fashionable caterer was awaiting the
conclusion of the ceremony.
When the infant was introduced.
brimming over with vitality. DR.. Fair
took in the situation at glance and de-
cided instantly upon his course. He
announced to the assemblage that he
was about to take the entire evening
service, as was his custom when large
congregation was present, and he went
through the whole service of As minutes,
including the reading of two lessons.
After this he courteously and mildly in
formed the astonished congregation
that it was likewise his custom to take
up a collection. Then the bouncing
baby was produced and baptism wsx
duly administered. 1t was the only
child that DR.. Fair baptized in that
family Baltimore Sun.

sailors were running and shouting ON
the deck below.
''Cherub is madl Shoot the brute!

we heard. Then Cherub dashed up the
companionway. His chain dragged be-

cautiously, dark hand moved out and
grasped the chain. The red, flashing
orbs of the brute lowered from Shad-

bloodhound growled.
Without haste. seemingly. the dark
hand holding the chain moved toward
the halyards. The fingers worked

Then like fash Shadow was beyond
the length of the chain, and laughing
like one whose nerve is gone. Cherub
beat his body upon the deck and upon
the halyards.

AY AFTERNOON, MARCH 10, 1899.
FRIENDS.

Not he that counts my errors,
Not he that holds me back
With doubling words TO show me
Wherein and how l lack:
Not he that sees my failings;
And, seeing them, Is free
To take my measure by them
He's not the friend for me.
But he that learns my virtues,
Who takes me at my best
Who notes my greatest failings
And overlooks the rest;
Who, after I have striven
And have not failed, is free
With words of commendation-
He is the friend for me.
He that forever warns me
OF dangers in my way.
Who doubts my strength to meet them
And ever bids me stay.
May truly seek to shield me.
May wish me well, but he
Whose faith is inspiration
He is the friend for me.

,ue LITTLE THINGS OF LOVE.

The little things of love we prize
Through all the after years,
And. resurrecting them, our eyes
Beam through a mist of tears.
A fragile flower careful pressed,
worn and crumpled glove
We somehow always deem the best
The little things of love.
The richer gifts are thrown aside,
Like shuttlecocks they're tossed
Within the court of years, so wide,
Until perchance they're lost.
Fate's battledore that wanton drives
Rare gifts our reach above
Well not lament, while still survives
The little things of love.
Snare us but these, We'll ask no more,
For times relentless mold
May rust. corrode. and tarnish Ger
The filligrees of gold.
The trifies all devoid of art,
A ribbon, note or glove.
Wen cloister these within our heart
The lsttle things of love.
