VALET BECAME A PRINCE.
The Singular and Sudden Rise of an
Adventurous Young
Italian.

There are few, if any, stories more
remarkable than that told of Camille
Ventura, who a few years ago was "a
domestic servant, and is now the prince
Of Caroviquo at the age of 81.
Camille is the son of a Trieste por-
ter. and was born in the lowest stratum
Of Italian life. At an early age he went
into domestic service, and, gifted with
n handsome exterior and engaging
manners, rose to be the valet of Count
Eufstein.
The counts wife, by birth Princess
Odescalchi and a member of the high
est Roman aristocracy, smitten by the
charms of the handsome valet, fell i'll
love with him.
In a weak moment she made over TO
him about $780, 900, the bulk of her pri-
waite fortune; and, having secured her
money, the ambitious valet turned his
back on the princess and sought new
fields to conquer.
His ambition was to secure title,
and he found the task an easy one. A
destitute italian prince, the prince of
Caroviquo, was induced to adopt him
as his son for $4,000 in cash and PEN
sion of ten dollars a week.
Thus the porter's son, at the age OF
little over 30, had blossomed into
prince. and recognized member of one
of the noblest of Italian families.
Here his good fortune seems TO have
deserted him for time. By wholesale
bribery he has been elected member
Of the chamber of deputies no fewer
than five times, and as many times thu
chamber has refused to admit him.
What the future of this adventurous
Young man may be can scarcely be con-
iectured; but it is to be expected that
a man who was a valet in the twenties
and a prince in the thirties will reach
a high station.-Philadelph Saturday
Evening Post.

THE DINNER-PAIL BRIGADE.

At eventide when all the tasks are over for
the day,
And saw and hammer pick and drill, have
all been lain away;
When twilight slowly fades along the sky
line, in the west
And Night let's down her curtains tween
the worlds of toll and rest
Then, in the din and hurry of the ever
crowded street
That pulsates to the treading OF million
weary feet,
In broken lines and number and in homely
garb arrayed,
There hastes to home and happiness the
dinner-pail brigade.
At early morning ere the lamps that lit the
night We're gone
Or blushing day had climbed the dew
washed stairway of the dawn,
The kindly hands whose loving deeds the
years may not reveal
Provided from a humble store the simple
noontide meal.
Again before his going did he linger at the
door
To speak the fond good-by and feel the kiss
Of love once more,
AS memory called back the day when she,
a trusting maid
Was mated 70 a member of the dinner-pail
brigade.
With saw and plane and hammer, and with
lathe and mold and drill
The weary workers dream and drudge at
factory and mill,
Where each IS bravely toiling on with heart
and hand and head
To win the peaceful battles where the vic
tory is bread.
A modest, coy cottage IS their coveted do
main;
Within the hearts Of those they love, the
realm where they would reign.
And may Hope paint her pictures in the
hues that shall not fade,
To glad the lives of those who form the din
ner-pail brigade.
