THE ROYAL BOX.

When Emperor William drives in Ber-
lin, he is followed by two officers on
wheels whose duty it is to arrest per-
sons who throw letters into his carriage.
1t is stated that the widowed Duchesl
of e-Coburg- -Gotha does not desire
to keep up Clarence House, London, and
that that splendid residence will next
year be occupied by the Duke and Ouch
ess of York and their children.
The new king Of Italy is taller than ei-
ther his father or his mother. but has
abnormally short legs. which seem to be
a characteristic OF his branch of the
family. Both King Humbert and King
Victor Emmanuel seem hardly taller
standing than sitting down.

total abstainer and ostentatiousIy refuses
on all public occasions to partake of
wine The queen is a patron of the To-

she is among the most active of workers.

A Gentle hint.

A certain youthful billiard marker

that he would have to be more careful
In the matter of chalk.
"Can't help it, sir" replied the
marker Il knows the gents wot pock-

toners, and you wouldn't like me to
offend EN-, would you, sir?'
''Well, no." was the reply but you
could give 'em gentle hint, you
know"
The marker promised to do so, and a
day or two later, ON observing player
pocket piece of chalk, he approached
the culprit and remarked:
you'll excuse me, sir, but are you
connected In any way with the milk

"Well, yes,' was the reply. What

Do you mean to insult me?' roared
Brother Harris as his face got very
red. Il don't know the code, as you
call it, but l do know that they were
talking by signals-tha is, Ange-
lina'i-
"Oh, it was your daughter Angelina
who interpreted the signals to you. We
must have her here as a witness. I
don't think any one of us ever suspect
ed Angelina of firtations, but it seems
she must have had quite number to
be familiar with the CODE"

claimed the irate brother as he real
lied that he had put his foot in 1t.
"And how dare you charge my daugh-
ter with firtingY
'But If she hasn't firted how does
she know the code? You have made a
grave charge here, brother, and we look
to see you support it. You say you saw
part of the Irritation. What did the
widow convey to the pastor by her
signals? Take this fan and show us
how she used it."

''But the charge, brother-the charge.

our pastor You made it, but you
haven't submitted one iota of proof
thus far. What are you going to do
about it,"
'.AIebbe it wasn't exactly flirta-
tion," sullenly admitted the brother
after awhile.
The Rev. Peters said he was using
the fan to drive away the flies and
bring a breath of cool air as he read
over the sermon he was to preach on
the following Sunday. He had neither
noticed the widow nor Angelina nor
her father. The Widow Moreland had
insisted on being present. Yes, she
knew all about fiirtations, but really
she hadn't the nerve to sit at an open
window under the eyes of her neigh
bors and attempt a Irritation with
clergyman ana the pastor Of the church
she was soon to be a member of. If
she used her fan languidly, it was to
drive away the droning house flies; if
briskly, it was to warn darning nee
die or a beetle to keep a safe distance.
Were I to firt,' added the widow
as she shook out her fan and smiled
coyly, Il should do like this"
And she went through such series
of motions and gestures as no elder Of
that church had ever seen before, and
some of them almost found themselves
trying to reply to the signals.
'eyTell, Brother Harris, what shall
we do?H asked Deacon Spooner as the
widow retired

There was great discussion at the
club the other day. 1t was about the
fashionable trained skirt. Some of the
men were In favor of 1t, and others
held that it was menace to health
and that it ought to be abolished and a
thousand other things. Finally Billy
Jones spoke up.

went straight home and had her new

The WISHING SANDS


The summer was at August,
The sea was in lull
From Ecituate TO Gurnet,
from Mohammed to Hull.
1t was tranquil hour
OF eartb's expectancy
When we lay on the wishing sands
Beside the sleeping sea.
We saw the scarlet moon rise
And light the pale gray land;
We heard the whisper Of the tide,
The signing of the sand.
/ felt the ardent hutter
Your heart gave for delight;
You knew how earth is glad and hushed
Under the tent at night.
We dreamed the dream of lovers
And told our dream to none,
And all that We desired came true,
Because we wished as one.

A yery Sorry Figure.

In my judgment. of all men who have
had much to say about the Philippine
business the one who cuts the sorriest
figure is Senator George F'risbie Hoar
OF Massachusetts. He made n great
speech against everything that McKin-
ley has done in that faraway and sin
cursed land. gave reasons which would
convince any rational man that Nc
Kinley ought to be defeated, and yet
the papers say that he has been unusu-
ally active in the support of this same
Mckinley. If he had stood by that
speech he could have well afforded to
have been defeated for the senate. He
would have gone into history as great
man. He can't unmake his speech,
and it will remain forever as an amaz-
ing indictment against the man lie has
helped rc-elect president. There is no
man In America who has better use of
the English language than Senator
Hoar. AS lingual artist he has few
peers, but the prospects are that he

Premature Predictions.


Senator Pettigrew and other states
men who are predicting the dissolution
of the Democratic party are premature
in their Vaccinations. There is no
prospect whatever of the Democratic
party being dissolved. The cardinal
principles of Democracy are as endur-
ing as the eternal hills and viii perish
only with liberty itself. Men may come
and men may go, but the Democratic
party goes on forever. 1t has outliyed
many parties and will outlive many

freres may create new party, but the
old Democratic party viii be found do
ing business at the old stand
One of the most pleasing results of
the recent election is the defeat of Sen
ator Wolcott of Colorado For years
he has been trying to cut the condemn
ed capef OF running with the hare and
holding with the hounds. He has been
a blatant silver man, yet has always
supported the gold standard candi-
dates. Many equestrians have been
skillfuI enough to ride two and even
three horses going in the same direc-
tion, or peradventure four, but no man
born of woman ever yet succeeded in
riding two horses going in opposite di-
rections, a feat which Wolcott essayed
for many years All candid and hon

fore Teller did. Teller clung to the Re
publican party with fiIlal affection as
long as there was the faintest hope
that it could be induced to befriend
silver. but the moment he was convinc-
ed that it vas against silver he march
ed resoIutely out from among his old
associates and took an unequiyoeal
stand fer what he considered right.
He challenged the respect of all men,
even of these who differed from him
the most radically. For his reward he
possesses the love and affection of the
people of Colorado in a greater degree
than any other man ever did. while his
more brilliant colleague passes into
private life Mckinley may take him
up and give him some foreign mission
or place him in his cabinet, but this
will only be a graceful way Of letting
him down The probabilities are that
he is done for politically.
