INFLUENCE OF SOVEREIGNS.
After a pause her majesty continued:
The work Will continue after I am
gone, but I sometimes wonder in what
way. Sovereigns have their influence,
and when they die it stops, or seems to.
In only a few instances it is otherwise.
King Alfred turned the national mind
to learning, and perhaps the influence
he exerted never wholly died. William

turned nation of iron into a nation

Her influence surely has not died, -
observed the maid Of honor.
No; it would seem as if something

sends them in those winged ships
round the world. I can hardly hope
to leave such an influence; and yet
under my rule the people who were
counted by hundreds have grown to
thousands, the thousands to millions,
and that has come about because, for
the most part, my reign has been one
of peace. There have been wars, but
they have been to establish peace to
give people security in pursuing the
arts of peace.
Wars for that end are justifable,
but for no other. My influence has
ever been for peace Only under a
regime of peace can a. people grow in
those graces and virtues which it is
the aim of our religion to inculcate.
There is no reason why a nation de-
voted to peace should become weak
and effeminate. The 1abors of men in
their peaceful callings-in mines and
Cuarries, on the sea, in furnaces and
iron works, building railways and lay
ing submarine and other cables, ex-
ploring and planting new coIonies-au
these labors are as arduOus as those
Of the soldier. and they call out strong
er and more enduring qualities.

pie study less and practise themselves

and write. "Lonnie" does not know the
alphabet and frankly declares that he
does not intend to learn. For child he
speaks with phenomenal ciearness and
fluency. The Scriptures he repeats so
glibly have been well drilled into him,
for he never seems at a loss for a quo
tation or a word. He is an attentive
listener. When his elders are talking
he sits staring at them with wide open
eyes. and if asked to do so he can re-
peat almost every word of a ten
minutes converse ton, So much for his
memory.
"Lonnie's'' initial service in this city
at the Mount Olivet Church last Sun

people who are fond of revival meet

THE STORY Is DENIED
This conversation, If correctly re-
ported, is, it will be seen, of the most
opportune interest at the present mo-
ment, when the possibilities of war be-
tween England and some Continental
power are agitating the air, as indi-
eating that the queens desire for peace
is long cherished and deep seated
conviction.
But from England itself, where the
artie-a has appeared in advance of its
American publication, we are informed
by cable that an official statement has
been issued utterly denying the truth
of the maid Of honor's report.

The Culver for February (Casseu &
Coz will contain an article of excep-
tional interest, entitled The Queens
Wish" and credited to "A Former
Maid Of Honor" 1t purports to be the
report Of a converse ton held between
the queen and the maid on an autumn
afternoon some years ago.
The queen was seated alone lost in
reverie, at window Of Osborne house,
overlooking the shipping in Spithead
channel, when the maid entered the
room. Fancying her mistress was
asleep, the maid was about to up-toe
out again. \ motion of the queens
hanG arrested her flight and the mute
reckoning of the royal finger bade her
come TO the window and gaze out upon
the spectacle Of the ships, gilded by the
glow of the setting sun.
Just now, when you came in said
the queen, Il was dreaming - day
dreaming. Seeing all those ships COM
ing and going, my spirit seemed to be
carried away. first by one and then by
another. Now I was in Australia, now
in India Africa I saw. and Canada;
then all the Islands and their people;
the rock of Gibraltar. Hong Kong,
Alden, and the Seychelles passed before
me. And at every port l saw ships en-
tering and leaving, and men at desks
receiving and transmitting messages.
And it was everywhere, What are they
doing-what are they thinking-in
England?'
VICTORIA'S CHILDHOOD.
when I was a child my dear mother
took NE about q great deal, and I saw
people at work in all kinds Of ways
and in every sort of industry The
things saw made a deep impression
upon me, and I have never ceased to
think of them. Tens of thousands,
nay, millions of people, are thus en-
gagged year in and year out; it is their
life; they know no other. And what is
taking place in these islands is taking
place wherever the English tongue is
spoken. All these people ask is to be
allowed to do their daily task in peace,
to earn their daily bread, and to have a
little fringe of play"
1T is very marvellous" said the maid
of honor

she continued to gaze on the process

thing heroic in it all

For this we have to thank Admiral
Dewey. Territorial expansion has in

is a curiousIy literal fulillment of the
Spaniard's dream of ''manana." Today
is always tomorrow in the PHILIPPINES.
This paradox of time leads to all
sorts of queer consequences. The ca

Dewey's victory the day before the

shooting 1 did not fire. If I shoot, I shoot TO
kill. so I let the deer go. Arriving at the
camp I tied my horse and looked around for
fresh tracks. The most Of them seemed to
have been made the previous day. 1 took it
easy and sat down in little thieket which
grew close to the water. From this point I
could see the whole place. 1 had been wait

came to the water, but they wtnded me as
