Mrs. Olipha1t notes of the Princess
Victoria herself that Notwithstanding
her simple breeding she early showed a
ven of natural diplomacy.
When taken to see her Uncle King,
and being asked to choose what music
the band should play she asked for God
Save the King"
Another time the King asked the prin-
cess which she most enjoyed of the
amusements at Windsor. The drive l
took with you, Uncle King" replied the
little courtier.
Here is another story, different in
character, but equally delightful:
'She was brave little person not Civ
en- to crying or complaints. On one oc-
Cason she had been warned not to play
with a dog which was of uncertain tenn
per, but continued to do so until the
animal betrayed himself by a sudden
snap. oh, thank YOU she said; he
didn't bite me; he only warned me. =

She had met her city cousin at the
train, and as they rode down Grand
River avenue on the street car she took
a prideful pleasure in pointing out the
objects and buildings of interest, relates
the Detroit Free Press.
He evinced the proper appreciation,
making highly complimentary remarks
and no belittling comparisons with insti-
tutions in his own city. Passing the COR
street, where the new G. A. r. structure
is approaching lines of architectural
beauty, she rapturOusly exclaimed
Now, that will be one of our grandeSt
buildings. Don't you think it will be Il
beauty?'
What building is it?' he inquired.
That. she said, with becoming pride,
is the Gar building
THE WHAT?
why, the Gar building, and it will be
just too beautiful for
What is it-a hOtel?
"No-o-o, not hotel; it's just a private
residence. Mr.. Gar, who is immensely
rich, is going to live there, l believe"
A faint suspicion of smile lowered
about the mouth of the city cousin as he
glanced sideways at his intelligent guide.

he encountered a Glasgow town council
man walking along III respectable. fash
ion. The councilman, noticing his I'M
balanced condition. stopped and shouted
with wrathful dignity:
What dye want?
To this his fellow townsman blithely
replied:
Il want-naethng! I'm as fu' 5 1 can
haud.'
The catholicity of his poetical taste
Former Speaker Reed illustrates by cit
ing as one of his fayOrite poems the
following from the pen of Eugene f.
Ware:
Once a Kansas zephyr strayed
Where a brass-eyed bull pup played,
And that foolish canine Dayed
At that zephyr in a gay,
Semi-idiotic way.
Then that zephyr in about
Half jiffy took that pup,
Tipped him over wrong side up
Then it turned him wrong side out,
And it calmly journey thence,
With a barn and string of fence.

When communities turn loose
Social forces that produce
The disorders of gale;
Act upon a well-knoWn law,
Face the breeze, but close your jaw
It's a rule that will not fail,
If you bay it in gay.
Self-Sufficient sort of way,
