ments In Evidence.

The disputed love story between the
brilliant Baron Frederick Won der
Trenck and Princess Amelia, sister OF
Frederick the Great, has been proved
by the discovery of papers found in the
house built by Baron TrenclS. at 81
Kochstrasse, and which has just been
torn down by order of Emperor Will
liam.
The kaiser was greatly excited over
the discovery, and the facts became
known through his own loquacity. He
wished them known to refute the
charges of cruelty made against his an
cestor for keeping Baron Trenck in
prison for ten years.
Even so persistent an investigator as
Carlyle, in his greatest work, declares
there is no truth in the story that Baron
Trenck was the lover Of Princess
Amelia.
In tearing down the house, which was
most a fortress, there was discovered q
skeleton with broken skull and an
iron box like the treasure chests of old.
This chest was taken Immediately to
the palace and opened in the presence
of the emperor.
In it were found the first draft of the
opening chapters of Baron Trenck's
autobiography, parchment written
by Baroness Annette, Baron Trenck's
sister, setting forth that she purposed
depositing in the strong box snndry
papers and dmementoes relating to Fred-
erick, Baron Won der Trenck, and
Amelia, royal princess of Prussia.

Carlyle describes Baron Trenck AZ -
loud-spoken braggart of the histrionic-
heroic sort, wildly rash and not with
out mendacity, with transcendent
and not undeserved bad luck. Baron

ant he was arrested by command of the
emperor and confined in the fortress of
Gratz, from which he escaped. He was
again arrested and taken to Madgeburg,
where he was kept ten years. He wrote
a vivid description of this imprison-
ment, where he was bound by collar
forged upon his neck. He slept on what
was intended for his tombstone. Baron
Trenck was released in 1863. He went
to France to live and there was guilIo-
tined in 1894 by order OF Robcspierre.

HAD THE ADVANTAGE.
The Judge Didn't Have to Say Much
But He Had the Best of the
Argument.

Mr.. D., of Boston, constant devo-
tee of the wheel, was recently visiting
in one of the small towns of western
Massachusetts,. He was taking spin
about its streets shortly after his ar
rival, when he was run down (as he
claimed) by negro, and knocked off
his bicycle. The fall not only ruffied
his dignity and his clothes, but broke
his skin and his wheel. These combined
injuries made breach in his placidity,
and he picked up stone and threw it
with accurate aim at the colored man
and brother. This infraction of the
peace resulted in his arrest, and in his
conviction in the local court of JUS
tice.
81 will fine you FIVE dollars" said the
judge. "Have you anything to say?"
Nothing replied D, unmolli-
fled, except that wish had killed the
fellow"
That remark win cost you five dol
lars more," rejoined his honor.
D-'s temper was not improved by
this fresh dispensation of justice,
wherefore the bitterness of his re-
joirder was plainly apparent. "Con-
versaticn seems to come high in this
court" he observed.
''Five dollars for contempt" prompt
ly responded the bench "Have you any-
thing more to say?'
81 think not" answered the defend
ant; 'you have the advantage of me in
repartee."

This is one of the many stories that

man very well known in the capital,
who is spending the summer in Eng

some particular kind of work and pro-
fessional etiquette forbids them to tres
pass on each others preserves. How
strictly they keep them each to his own
work the American did not know till.
sauntering idly out of the house one
day, he espied a watering can, which
had been left by the gardener at a little
distance from the mansion, on the edge
Of the drive. 1t occurred to him that
it would be amusing to play at being
gardener. He would water the flowers
himself. So, calling to a man servant
who happened to be passing, he bade
him fetch a watering can. The man
Strengthened himself up and touched
his cap.

The coachman touched his cap again
and repeated his former remark. Light
dawned on the American.
"Oh," said he, you're the coachman,
are you? Well, coachman, you go round
to the stables and have my four-in-hand
brought round at once
The coachman saluted and walked
away. The coach and four drew up
at the door few minutes later. The
master climbed in.
"Now," said he, ''drive down to that
watering can."
The order was obeyed. The horses
paused a hundred yards down the
drive.
"Get down and hand me the can,
now," ordered the master.
A moment later he was contentedly
watering the flowers. He had the can,
the coachman's dignity had been pre-
served, and all was well.-Washingto

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
LOttie'S Blue Eyes

THE narrowing conviction was fore
| ing itself upon Miss Sophia's mind
that her brother, Rev. Harmon Pen
dleion, at the mature age of A, had
actually fallen in love. This fact was
IN itself an offense to Miss Sophia, but
II was not all, for the minister had
committed the supreme folly of losing
his heart to chit of a girl, and a most
objectionable young person altogether
in Miss Sophia's eyes.
Now, if he had only fallen in love
with Mary" unused Sophia. "She is a
most estimable young woman. But
'hat doll-faced, vain, frivolous Lottie-"
and Miss Sophia groaned. "A man of his
age and minister of the Gospel to lose
his wits over a pink and white complex
Ion and yellow hair! Oh, it is too bad.
II l only knew of some way to disen-
chant him."
just then two girls and a young man
passed along the street. One of the
girls was tall, dark-haired and stately;
.he other was pink-cheeked and yellow
haired. Her hands were full of roses
and her laughing eyes were uplifted
side.
Miss Sophia snorted with disgust.

uary to the first Of November. Ev-
cry farmer seems to want to dispose
of his poultry during November
and December, and consequently
the market is always overstocked
at that time. The surplus young
ROSTERS should be sold during Sep
TENDER and October, as they will
bring more money then than later.
If it is impossible to market them
until after that time, it is best to
hold them until after the first of
January, for prices are always low
during the intervening months.
Turkeys are most salable around
the holidays. Old turkeys and
large young gobblers should be
marketed for Thanksgiving and
Christmas; poor stock should never
be sent to the market. All should
be we'll fattened before being
shipped. The hens and small
young gobblers should be kept un-
til after the holidays.
The appearance of poultry has
more to do with the selling oft than
the kind of packages in which it is
shipped.
In selecting a shipment of poultry
for the market the breeder will find
it to be of advantage to have his
birds of uniform size. They look
better and heater and will bring a
higher price. Pack them all neatly,
for appearance has much to do with
finding a market for them. Handle
the carcass so carefully that the
light outer skin will not be broken.
The shink under skin showing
through In spots detracts from their
appearance.
There is one thing which breed
ers generally overlook and that is
the saving of feathers. While ii
might not pay to save feathers from
few fowls, it would undoubtedly
pay we'll where large number are
dressed out, and thus the fowls
would contribute their last item to
the poultry fund.
