We exaggerate very much the power
of title on the continent. In Italy every
son OF n prince is again Il prince, no mat
ter if there are ten sons. This has n
great effect on the diluting of titles; it
is watering of the stock, as they say
in railroad parlance. We especially
ovcrrate the effect of French titles.
Anybody can call himself count in
rance. A certain jew in Paris named
himself from his province. We will say
his town was Liege, his name was Cha
bot. lie called himself Count Chabot
de Licge, which sounds very well. A
banker of Cologne, we will say, whose
name might be Oppenheimer, hearing
this, said swell, il you are Chabot de
Liege, i must be o. de Cologne" There
are properly now no titles in France.
They expired on the advent of the re-
public; but there are families who have
some noble blood, as they call il, and
there are plenty of titles to sell.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

CHILD'S PLAYHOUSE.
IL Is BniIt In sections and Can bo
Put Up in Entirely Different
ways.

There is really no reason nowadays
why children should not have play
houses of their own, for portable struc-
lures for lawn and garden use are
manufactured !,
One house Of this sort is six feet four
inches wide, nine feet six inches long
and eight feet nine inches tall from the
floor to the point of the gable. This
house has one door and one window.
The window is divided vertically in the
middle, the two halves opening back on
hinges at the side edges. The door has
a glazed sash in its upper part, and it
has also n lock and key.
These houses are built in sections,
and they can be put mp in different
ways; that is, they can be set up with
the door in the front and the window
in one end of the house, or they can be
set up with both the door and the win
dow in front; the sections are inter-
changeablc.
There is provided for use with the
house yeranda roof. which is made in
sections OF the same width as the sec
tons of the house itself. so that these
ycranda sections can be put up to-
gcther, making Il continuous yeranda
along one side Of the house. or they can
be put up one over door and one over
a window.
There are made also. for use with

through the help of the commanding

Perhaps not more than thousand
men had then landed. Gen. Wheeler
was already on shore, and to Col. Wood
he at once assigned camp-ground,
which our colonies proceeded to make

When ] first saw him, Gen. Wheeler
was lamenting that. SO far, no Ameri-
can flag had been brought ashore. Now,

articles carried by the orderly trum-
peter who had landed in the boat with
me was the silk flag of our Arizona

him. lie said he merely wished to plant
it in a conspicuous place, as matter
of sentiment, and to cheer up the men
who had not yet been able to leave the
ships.
Having no real duties Mt this time, I
volunteered to take this flag and plant

is called by the Spaniards, which
crowns the steep hill to the eastward,
overlooking the little town. The gen
eral accepted my offer, and after having
found the flag and told the orderly
trumpeter to carry it, started up the
steep side of the hill.
An infantry sergeant named Wright,
seeing us start into the bushes alone,
offered to go along as guard. Wright
carried his rife, and Platt (the orderly
trumpeter) and relieved each other
carrying the flag, which, with its pole
and trimmings. was quite heavy. 1t
took us about half an hour to climb

BABETTE'S DREAM.
II Procured for Her a Husband Under
MisnpprehensiOn-S
Awakening. ..o

A few weeks ago pretty little bonnie
tout fairc, in the service of an elderly
and wealthy retired Partisan halter,
dreamed one night that she had drawn
the number 2,222, and with it won the
top prize in the municipal lottery.
Next morning she described her vision
to her master, who instantly gave her
the wS.rcwithal to purchase full
ticket. and began to keep his eye upon
the official liste du tirage, at the head
of which, to his unbounded. surprise,
the dreamed-of number came out when
the next drawing took place. Hurry
ing home from the cafe at which the
joyful announcement had met his eye,
he found Babettc, as usual, singing
merrily over her work, and manifestly
unaware that huge slice of good luck
had fallen to her lot.
- "She is really an excellent girl" he
eflected-'handsome too, and por-
toned by the blind goddess with q
dowry of 100000 francs. In every re-
spect an eminently eligible young per-
SON" Straightway he called her to
him.
"Babettc, dear child" he murmured,
with fond smile, 81 am resolved to re-
ward your interchangeable devotion to n
lonely but grateful old man. I hope
that you have found mela kind master:
| am sure that shall make a good hus-
band. BE mine, Babette"
Three weeks later, as they were leav-
ing church at the conclusion of the
marriage ceremony, he whispered to
his blushing bride: "By the way,
sweet spouse, what has become of that
mystic number which you dreamed
about? Perhaps you had better hand
over the ticket for the purchase of
which gave you the money not so very
long ago. l will collect the prize on
your account"
"The lottery ticket, do you mean ~
replied Babette. "Why, changed my
mind about that. and spent the six
francs on "a new cap, which you adj
mired very much. Then you asked me
to marry you, and | forgot all about
the silly old number" Tableaui-

So, sitting on the cathedral steps and
waiting to accompany Pere Laurent to
hear the music of Mendelssohn and
Bach which Father Charles played SO
well on his violin, Toni Tedona, look
ing up at the evening sky and the SEN
tinel stars, which smiled back at him,
felt great yearning come over him, to
deserve the name given, with so noble a
generosity, and to be indeed worthy
son to that saint on earth, II son upon
whom no reproach would ever gather
in years to come, no evil deed ever
cling.
The wind blew clustering and light
clouds began to obscure the deep blue
of the sky and the radiance of the
stars.
"Are you there, TOMB" said Pere Lau-
rents gentle voice. II was detained by

| Come. We will cross the river and go to
hear Father Charles music for little
while"
Springing up with a glad joy in his
eyes as Pere Laurent placed frail,
withered hand on his shoulder, Toni
| and his friend the priest passed down
| the steps, across the street, and into
the square, where the rising wind was
| tossing the scents of the flowers about
them, out to the crowded levee, to take
the ferry boat, pulling its way across
the broad, winding river.
Pere Laurent's talk was of the dedi-
cation to the church Of their resplend'
ent genius by the old German masters
Sebastian Bach, Handel and others
and, wrapt in his subject, he threaded
his way abstractedly among the heavy
belated floats, market carts and back
ing and twisting trains, which cross
and recross on the levee front.
| Toni went slowly by his side, and
CHANGING up, thought that the stars
smiled approvingly.
How was it?
None could say.
The darkening light Of the evening
must have obscured the distance, and
fitful gusts of wind blew clouds of fine
white dust in their faces.
Pere Laurent, brought to sudden
consciousness of where they were
paused, as heavy engine backed rap
idly down upon them.
| With an exclamation he stretched to
seize TOMS hand and attempted to
cross, not needing the boys imploring
effort to detain him.
| There were shouts of warning and
the thunder of an engine. Then, with
one wild cry: "Padre!" Toni sprang
forward, caught and tore him back;
flung him to one side, while wild cries
arose from the engineer and trainmen
around, saving Padre Laurent, but go
ing himself to an awful fate.

haired priest in anguish, wringing his

SOME SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENTS
AND MEETINGS.

Upon invitation. Editor Scott went BY
special palace car with President Moh,er
and Director Scott Of the o R, & y.
Company to New York some three weeks
ago.
It now transpires that the distin-
guished party went to NEE, Presiden,
Mellen OF the Northern Pacific. About
a week before they went on this trip
President Mellen was in Portland and
saw President Hammond OF the A. & c.
R. r., who within a few days thereafter
filed articles for the extension OF his
road to Kennewick.
Now just why Editor Scott. President
Mohler and Director Scott didn't meet
President Mellen while he was in Port
land and thus save an S,ooO-mlle trip
does not appear. But, then, II must be
remembered, these magnates seldom do
like common people would under similar
circumstances. Perhaps these TWO pres

announced that the meeting had taken
place. but no results were reported from
the conference brought about at so much

meeting? Did It relate to the y. P. ex-
tensions in the Inland Empire? Did II
concern the common point" at As

Possibly the meeting or the traffic
agents Of all the five transcontinental
railroads today in New York may show
some fruit Of this meeting.
