A Queen Who Does Washing.

A correspondent OF the indianapolis
News says that when the town OF
Boerne, near San Antonio, Tex, was
settled in 1916, by a colony OF Germans.
the settlers were told they could live
as they wished, provided they were
good, industrious citizens. They Sc
lected from their number "a man and
his wife OF mental as we'll as physical
weight" as their king and queen,
whose edicts and commands they
agreed to obey to the letter. They were
much %astonished several months later
to learn that this state OF things would
not do in this country, and the king
and queen were deposed. The king is
dead, but the ex-queen still lives. She
is worth 500, 900. and owns one-third
Of the town, but takes in laundry work
and bends over her tub six days In the
week. Her word is still law with the
older people. and some OF the younger
ones.-New York Tribune.

Some Horse Sense.

There is n good deal OF horse sense
in the following extract from Governor
Rooscvelt's speech ut Olcott. N. Y. de-
livered n few days ago: "Of course, we

hasten the coming OF the time when

Rear Admiral Philip, the command

officers OF the yard and read them the

who did not know until recently that
the woman was addicted to the habit
OF eating starch. She denied every

for her complaints, but after the physi-

terrible habit. She had a rather clay

1t was the question I had been ask
Ing myself again and again. morning,

ever since that afternoon when Aunt
Jane had talked to me. I had always
given myself the same answer-given
1t resolutely, emphatically-I should
refuse him. and refuse him unhesitat-
ingly, in such n way that he should not
doubt my firmness, should never think
Of urging me. And yet, in spite OF my
decision, again and again the question
had come back to me, as though ! had

"He will not ask me-" I said. IF

Aunt Jane passed along the passage

hidden me. The drawing-room door
stood open. I entered, and, busily EN-
crossed in arranging the little nosegay
OF red %geraniums at my waist, l half
crossed the room before I was con-
scious that any one was there. Then,
as ! raised my eyes, I met John Morti-
mer's grave, frank smile. and l know
my face lighted up at once.
He came forward to meet me, his
steady gray eyes still constraining me
to look at him.
Il came early. Kitty, to see YOU" he
told me, speaking in a very quiet. Sc
rious way. II asked Mrs. Corfeld to
let me see you for u little while alone"
SO Aunt Jane had sent me down e
meet him! Why had she not warned
me that he was here? Why had she
let him surprise me into that swift,
tell-tale glance OF greeting?
He drew forward the only casy-chair
the room c~ontained-a chair sacred to
the service of Aunt Jane-and seated
himself near me on the green red sofa
by the window. He eyed me with a
somewhat puzzled glance.
Are you wondering what has hap
pened to me-" ! asked.
You are looking very grown up
he answered. smiling. And very
pretty" he added, after a moment, In
a quiet tone.
In spite OF myself my eyes smiled
into his. ! drew a deep, contented
breath. He thought me pretty-all the
rest OF the world might think me plain,
n l should not care! should never
bemoan again my paleness. my dark
eyes, which would not sparkle as Meg's
blue eyes sparkled when they smiled.
II have a new Dress" l explained.
shyly-"a new dress which Is quite my
owl. Do you like it?"
Very much. / always like your
dresses. Kitty"
l looked at him woDderingly.
"What-always!" l echoed. mot al
ways!" I echoed. Not always?"
"Always!"
THE old linsey-woolsey I was wear
ing last winter, with the sleeves half
way up my arms. and the skirt above
my ankles. and the black braid all
turned green and the elbows thread
bare! You didn't like that dress?"
Yes. l did"
1T was hideous! Meg and Dora were
always banterlng me about that dress.

He smiled at me in his grave way;

smiled, were looking at me with a
strange earnestness. He bent forward
