The stately palms which for genera
tions has silently witnessed the raplne
and pillage of the cruel Spaniard were
scarcely stirred by the faint breezes.
Crowded in a narrow trail the flower
of American manhood was being shat
tered and torn by Spanish bullets. A
wounded regular, his chest pierced by
Mauser bullet, crawled slowly and
painfully to the brink Of a small
stream to replenish his empty canteen
with water. Finally, after great eff
fort he returped to the shade of a
beautiful magnolia tree. Just as he
was lifting the water to his lips he
heard faint moan coming from the
lips of a wounded comrade, who faint

one last long look at his canteen, the
veteran of many an Indian fight hand

ECCentriCities of Etiquette.


1t is said that Queen Victoria was
once the victim of an absurd extremity
of etiquette. The lamp in Her Majes-
ty's Sitting room at Osborne was
smoking, and the Queen mentioned the
fact to one of her ladies' in waiting,
who protested that such duties were
not part Of her vocation, and in
formed the titled companion OF the in
cident, who in turn related it to a third
great parsonage. This lady confided
the intelligence to yet another attend
ant. Five minutes passed, but still the
lamp smoked. Then the Queen rose
majestically, and with a word of regal
reproof to her captious companions,
lowered the light with her own royal
hands.
On one occasion King Philip OF
France contracted a severe chill be-
cause of the eccentricities of court ct
iquette. The coverings OF the royal
couch were insufficient and theKing Or
dered more. The command passed
from courtier to Gourtier until it tran
spired that the duty deYolved upon an
absent attendant, nor could any be in
duced to fulfill the function in his
stead. So, while etiquette ruled, the
king tarried and took cold, but tradition
AYERS chat he made things warm for
his tardy retainers later.
In Spain 1t is rigid rule that the
command of the King passes immedi-
ately into law which the King alone
has power to annul. This has result
ed in some drOll dilemmas. One morn
ing soldier accompanied his youth
ful sovereign to remote part of the
palace grounds, when the King sud-
denly remembered some neglected
duty and sped away to his apartments,
first saying to his military bodyguard,
Remain here until send for you.''
There the gallant guardsman stood,
alert and patient, for about twenty
four hours, until the boy monarch,
who had until then forgotten about
him, dispatched an order releasing
him from the painful position.
The Sultan of Turkey eats nothing
that has not been first tasted by his
cupbearer, and, according to Turkish
etiquette, no other person can perform
this preliminary. One evening the
eupbearer was called away unexpect-
edly and did not return until late the
next day. Since then the eupbeaser
has to taste the Sultan's dishes day
in advance and then seal them up
