[From the Chicago Tribune

[FrOm the Chicago Tribune.1
The queens legal name, were she to
become a simple commoner, would be
Mrs. Wettin,'' by virtue of her mar
riage with Prince Albert of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha, whose name, stripped of
territorial and other furnishings, was
plain ALBERT Victim Victim is the
patronymic of King Leopold of Belgium,
of King Albert of Saxony, of Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria, of the Duke of
-COburg-GOth of the Duke of
Sake eimar, and of the Duke of Sake
Meiningen, as we'll as of the Prince of
Wales and his brothers, and of Prince
Charles of Portugal.
Victim, who died in 1855, was de-
Scendant of one Wittikind, who was a
contemporary of the great Charlie
mango. The majority of the reigning
princes of Europe claim to be descended
King Christian of Denmark, King
George of Greece, Peter, Grand Duke
of Oldenburg and the Car of Russia.
The patronymic of these four rulers
is Oldenburg, the emperor Of Russia
being neither a Romanoff nor yet a.
The queen, prior to her marriage, was
entitled to the patrOnymic of AzOn-she

name are the reigning Prince Liech-
tenStein and the Duke of Cumberland,
or king of Sake Coburg- Gotha, as he is
now. The founder of the house of AEON
died in the year 1854, and was MargraVe
or Marquis of Este. 1t is for this rea-
son that the royal house of Great Brit

CHEAPER CRACKERS.
Is Declared to Be the Chief Aim of
the Trust

New York, Feb. 16.-At the annual
meeting of the National Biscuit COM
pany, President Crawford called the at
tention of the stockholders to the small
percentage of profits to sales and said:
This is in accordance with the set
tied policy of the company. We aim to
reduce this percentage still further
without affecting the total profits of
the company. We shall continue to i'm
prove the manner of making our goods
and of packing them, as to get them
in better condition to the consumer.
Reduction in prices will also in it's turn
increase consumption and in itself en-
able US to decrease our percentage of
profit on sales without diminishing the
aggregate volume of our profits
He added: I'VE have no monopoly.
On the contrary, we have and always
expect to have, a great deal of competi-
ton. We purpose to get the business
and to hold it by selling better goods
by furnishing them in better condition
to consumers and at lower prices to the
trade for the same quality than our
competitors are able to do"

FAVOR A SHORTHORN SHOW
Missouri and Kansas Breeders Assoc
citation Elect Officers and Adjourn.

Kansas City, Feb. 1.-THE meeting Of
the Missouri and Kansas Shorthorn
Breeders association, which was the
first annual convention of the associa-
ton, closed yesterday afternoon. Yes
terday's morning and afternoon ses-
sions were held in Live Stock Exchange
hall at the stockyardS and several very
interesting papers were read and dis
cussed.
During the afternoon session the
question of a Shorthorn show and sale
to be held in Kansas City next fall was
discussed and some of the breeders We're
disappointed when it was decided by
the members to leave that question in
the hands of the executive committee.
1t was believed that a definite plan
should have been adopted similar to
that adopted by the Hereford Breeders
association, so that preparations for the
show and sale could begin at once.
President Gentry said that the mem
bers should have settled the question
during the meeting, as the Hereford
show has a definite date fixed and $4,000
in premiums already assured.
At the morning session the discussion
on the first twelve months of caIf's
life was resumed and some ten or
twelve leading breeders talked on that
subject. Colonel S. A. Sawyer of Man
haitian, Kan, then read a paper on
Private and Public Sales Compared
Colonel Sawyer said that private sales
were a necessity, but that public sales
were the better calculated for dispos-
ing of large number of cattle in one
day and that both were essential to
live stock breeders.
Other papers read yesterday were:
"Heredity,' o. o. Wolf, Ottawa, Kan;
What Have the shorthorns Won in
the Past in Competition with Other
Breeds?" George P. Bellows, Maryville,
Nc; care and Management of the
Breeding Herd" John McDairmed, Kan
sas City, Mo-; Should the Use of Grade
Bulls Be Encouraged?" N. H. Gentry,
Sedalia, Mo.
There was no friction over the cleo
ton of officers, the men who looked af-
ter the interests of the association last
year being unanimously reelected. The
officers are:
President-N H. Gentry. Sedalia, MO-
Vice president for Kansas-Georges w.

MUSIC OF THE WHEELS.

When you're riding on the railroad,
At a mile-a- minute crack,
Do YOU ever note the rhythm
OF the wheels along the track?
Is there any great composer
OF SharpS and flats and bars
Can equal in his cadences
The music of the cars?
Whether dashing through the meadow
You will never hear them falter
From the measured beat of time;
Charging wildly 'mongst the mountains,
Or by the rivers bank,
You will always find them playing
Observation-Disclosures.
Every air that has been written
Since the wicked days OF Cain
Finds a fit and perfect setting
In the rhythm of the train;
From opera to comic song,
From Patti down to Cline,
You can hum all sorts of dfttteS
While rushing down the line.
THE WABASH.
It's too bad to spoil the story
Told in cadence sentimental,
But it's not SO on the WABASH,
With It's famous Continental.
If you are about to travel
Please note the following polnrs:
The Wabash track is perfect,
And you cannot count the JOINTS
In its wheels there is no music
At a mile-a-minute gait;
And of course there is no rhythm
on a track that's up to date.
