Prince Otto is no proud and naughty
person, but a manly, healthy man,
fond of his horse and his dog; per-
haps trifie too fond of them, and
of long solitary rides in the forests
of his domains, thereby emitting some
of the duties of his position. And
while he is off indulging his simple
tastes, at his court intrigue and
schemes multiply; and gradually pow
err slips from his willing hands into
those of his ambitious wife and an
INSCRIPTIONS man. the prime minis
ter. This latter parsonage is one of
the best-drawn characters in the book,
and the stage rendering, too, gives
him a prominent place. A fat,
unctuous, plotting creature, equally
fond of politics and women, and with
no respect for either. One of the
most loathsome things in fiction.
Prince Otto is handsome and gay
and kind, with certain high principles
he does not talk much about, but be-
leves in and adheres to steadily. He
is not so very much in love with his
princess, whom he married for state
reasons, but he likes her and is very
indulgent toward her. She is high
spirited and ambitious, and looks
with contempt on her contented.

everything over to her; but finds in
the prime minister one who processes
sympathy for her aspirations. To-
gether they work, the foxy old states
man and the young wife, and Otto
whistles and sings. rides and walks
up and down his land in blissful ig-
norance of gathering storm. At
the court two, a man and woman,
the former friend Of Otto and the
latter flame of the prime minister,
look on and see the drift of affairs;
and both would like to warn and
save the unconscious prince, though
neither dare hint of the danger the
princess Is in. The friend attempts
to warn him, the lady tries to make
love to him to make up for the in
difference of his wife, but neither
meets with much success.
No thought of love for the prime

naughty princess; he is to her tool,
repulsive but useful creature. But
his vanity is so great he does not

in those almost forgotten days before
Kipling was a name to- conjure by,
we read little tale in Harper's
Weekly, without Benefit of Clergy
and were strongly impressed by it.
When we came to the end we looked
back at the beginning for the name
Of the author and our eyes were met
by the peculiar combination and
words: R-u-d-y-a-r-d K-i-p-l-i-n-g. We
didn't know how to call it, but we
made up our minds to keep on the
lookout for articles by this same Rud-
yard Kipling. And before long we
found the whole world was doing the
same thing.
Another somewhat similar instance:
We had read Stevenson's essays, his
poems, tales of the sea, of reckless
Adventures, wild, lawless men; but
among them all we discovered moth
ing SO charming, so real and alto
gether satisfactory as his "Prince Of
to-" the tale of pretty German
principality; and now we are told it
was, from a dramatic standpoint, the
authors favorite. So you see again
we are pleased with ourself.
Mr.. Otis Skinner has realized the
dramatic value of the tale, and is
now presenting at McVicker's theater

Fruit Trees for Shade Trees.

On small farms in order to secure a
good supply of fruits a very good plan
of management is to set in places where
crops cannot be cultivated to an advan-

these should not be good fruit trees as
well as shade trees only. The cherry
especially can be planted along the road

johannesburg, in many respects the
most important city of the Transvaal,
the commercial center of that part of
southeast Africa, is in the possession of
the British. and with its possession is
assured the fall of the Transvaal repub-
lie. Another chapter of history will
soon be closed and Great Britain has
demonstrated once more that it is able
to hold its vast possessions together and
is in position to add to them whenever
it is deemed necessary to do so. Great
Britain was the dominating factor in
the worlds history in the 10Th century,
and Great Britain together with the
