lieyed that the peace conference will not
adjourn before the middle OF July, as 1t
is thought the labors OF the delegates will

the powers of the decisions adopted by the
conference. The delegates, who desire 10
see some targihls result accomplished by
the conference, recognize that if the mem

ernmer s the work OF the delegates will
simply be pigeonholed in the various chan
ceilories Of Europe and will not be exc

solved to adjourn their sittings as soon as
their work is completed and to submit the
result to their respective goyrnments with
the result that the delegates be empowered
to sign definite document. Ii is expected
the governments will keep trace OF the
progress of the work and that they will
require only about ten days for delibera-

CIeveland,s Fair Flower.


 During MT. Cleyeland's tour of the south shortly after his marriage, Mrs. Cleveland and he were driving one day through the streets of one of the larger towns, escorted by two of it's citizens. Some one threw bunch ot violets 10 Mrs. Cleveland, and Mr.- Cleveland bent forward to catch it, remarking as he presented it: ''I won der why no one gives me flowers? %
 One of the gentlemen present gal laA-!y replied: We think you have won the fairest flower in the land!'
 "Ah, yes" returned the president, "but, you see, can't keep her in water,
 It K not necessary, since you keep her in such excellent spirits" was the reply.
 Here Mrs. Cleveland interposed, say ing: T am afraid you are guilty of 1attery, whereupon came the reply:
 No madam; fattery is fulsome compliment, and in this instance no compliment could be either too frank CT too fulsome!" The charm of this response lies in the last and fourth from the last words, Mrs. Cleyeland's maiden name being Frances Folsom Ladies Home Journal.

THE TOWER OF LONDON.
Locking UP B Quaint and Aneisnt
 Ceremony.

GOGkHHE 4F 2A''
 Ceremony.
 The main guardhouse at the Tower, which has just been pulled down, was hard by the Bloody Tower. It is at this spot. says the London Graphic that the quaint and ancient ceremony of locking up the tower is nightly per- formed. as 1t has been for centuries. A few minutes before II o'clock the head warder, or yeoman porter, as he is properly styled, clothed in red cloak, carrying a portentous bunch of keys, and accompanied by another warder carrying lantern, appears in front of the main guardhouse and roars out, Escort. keysi" The sergeant turns out with some of the men, and follows the yeoman to the outer gate the whole party being challenged by all the sen tries with "Who goes there?" and the answer is simply Keys" The gates being locked the keys are brought back to the main guard. Here the sentry stamps and roars out. Who goes there2"
 Keys" is the reply.
 Whose keys?.
 Queen Victorias keys"
 Advance, Queen VictOria's keys. And aii's well.
 God bless Queen Victorla!" cries the yeoman porter.
 Amen" responds the main guard.
 Present armsp' cries the officer on duty, and amid the rattle of the salute ke kisses the hilt of his sword. The yeoman porter marches off with the keys and deposits them in the lieuten- ants lodgings, and from that time throughout the livelong night you can only circulate within the tower pre- cinets if you know the countersign.
