Caught the Princess.

An entertaining story comes from the
French Alps relating the futile efforts
of the Princess of Croy, who desired
10 enter the monastery of the Grand
Chartreuse, a habitation from which
women visitors are rigidly excluded,
says the Baltimore Sun. The Princess
dressed herself in boys clothes and
accompanied her husband to the insti-
tuition. The gates were opened to them,
and the Prince sent his card to the
Father Superior, with the line to the
effect that he was accompanied by a
friend. Just as they We're about to
make the round of the building the
word was received that the Father
would like to see the Prince and
"his friend" Going up stairs they
were received by the smiling monk,
who cordially invited them to join him
in an appetizing luncheon. The Prin-
cess endeavored to make the best of
the situation, but she was not put any
the more at her ease by the fact that
the monk kept gazing sharply at her.
At last he exclaimed suddenly, Catch
it, young mani" at the same time
throwing her a large pear. The Prin-
cess was startled and, thrown COM
pletely off her guard, made a femi-
nine motion to grab up her skirt, the
absence of which. she overlooked in
her confusion. Then the Father stop
ped smiling and said with great grav-
ity: Il beg your pardon, madam, but
ladies are not allowed in the monas-
terry. l must ask you to wait outside
until the Prince has finished the in
spection." And the Princess had to go,
the Superior bowling her from the room
with most elaborate politeneSS.

Last January Mrs. William Highley
of Wabash, Ind, was in imminent dan
ger of drowning in a creek, Her hus-
band offered $1,000 to two men if they
would save her. The two men rushed
into the creek at the peril of their
lives, and brought the woman out.
Then the husband refused to mako
good his offer. He said the price was
exorbitant and more than he could af-
ford. The rescuers brought suit at
law for the reward. The case was
tried before a jury and the plaintiffs
were awarded the full amount of their
claim. Then Highley transferred his
property. and in various ways sought
to evade the payment of the $1,000 for
the life of his wife. A few days ago,
however, the parties to the suit effect
ed compromise whereby the rescu-
ers received 1925 each.

An EngIishman,s Terrible ordeal.

An EngIishmon's Terrible Ordeal.
A member of Mr.. Fraser's party
named Dunlop had occasion to visit
a Mr.. Savage, a half caste landowner
on the other side of the island. He
went in a boat and while the coolies
were bringing in his traps went up to
the bungalow says the Canadian Mag
azine.
He was sitting in a big chair on
the veranda talking to Savage, when
he felt something drop from the leaf
roof to his shoulder. He started leis
urely to rise to see what had fallen
when his companion cried out:
Don't move! Keep perfectly still"
Dunlop knew what that meant and
he obeyed. A full grown cobra lay
across his shoulders.
Savage stealthily took a Burmese
sword from the wall. and catlike
crept toward Dunlop. When he was
within striking distance he paused
raised the weapon high in the air
to cut the thing in two with one swift
downward stroke.
But that one little pause gave him
opportunity not only to see what must
be done, but to reflect upon it. The
snake lay in such a position that lit
tie or none of it's length projected be-
yond the line of Dunlop's shoulder.
The one blow, then, which must be
effective must be so surely struck as
to sever the head of the snake entire
ly from its body and vet so nicely
gauged in force as not to wound the
shoulder on which the serpent lay.
Too little force might only wound the
cobra, leaving him still vitality
enough to strike; too much would
surely cripple Dunlop.
All this passed through Savage's
mind in an instant, as he held the
weapon poised. Then his nerve, rat
tied and tugged at for sixty years un-
til it was weak, failed him, and the
sword clattered from his fingers to
the floor.
'I can't do it! I can't do it," he
whined in a broken voice, and reeled
back against the wall. where he stood
staring with weak eyes at the sahib
and his burden.
Dunlop neither moved nor spoke; his
| only safety lay in keeping still-mo-
| tionless. 1t might be minutes or a
| thousand years; they would have to
would happen then he could not say.
He could feel the clinging, pulling
thing on his shoulder. There was an
undulating pressure that told him the
head of the snake was swaying back
and forth just above his neck.
| Then the song OF the Madras boat
men as they came swinging along with
his luggage, broke upon his ear. Those
coarse voices, carolling in time with
their measured trot, were angel voices.
| But Dunlop fell to wondering what
the brain-muddled coolies would do.
If Emir Ali, his trusted servant, saw
the thing it might be well; he had
nerve and judgment even close to that
of a sahib.
Emir Ali was in the lead. When
he came to the steps Savage jerked
out an expression that called his at
tention to the tableau. Gathering his
long-bee tight about his loins. Emir
Ali slipped along the veranda like a
shadow, grasped the fallen sword, and,
poising his black 1.-THE body for a
swift, strong stroke, brought the
sword through the air with a swish
ing cut that laid the cobra in two
neat pieces almost at Dunlop's feet.

now HE OBTAINED HIS FORTUNE

There is an interesting sequel to the
little story which we published a few
days ago about a young Swede who
found a fortune in the gold regions of
Alaska and went on a visit to Sweden
with his bride. The story was that
he tried to pass an examination for
a teachers certificate in Kansas and
failed. He then decided to become
missionary. and prepared himself for
that position. He was sent by the
Swedish Evangelical Church to Alaska,
and there he discovered a gold mine
from which he realized more than ST.
600, 900. Returning to the states he
gave the church for which he had
acted as missionary $4,000, and then
married and went to Sweden on
bridal trip.
In the federal court in Chicago on
Friday last a story was told that is
the sequel to the foregoing. 1t seems
that about two years ago an Esquimau
boy found gold on Anvil Creek in
Nome. He staked out two claims, but
as he could not under the law hold
them he kept his discovery secret.
Six months afterwards, becoming Sc
riously Ill, and being informed that he
could not live, he sent for P. H. An
derson, missionary for the Swedish
EVANGELICAL Church, and transferred
the claims TO him in trust for the
church in consideration for the care
which the church had taken of him
during his illness and the kindness it
had always shown him.
It seems that this Anderson was the
man who had failed to pass an exam
ination for teachers certificate in
Kansas. He failed to prove true to the
trust that the Esquimau lad had con-
fided to him. He worked the claim
for his own advantage and got from
It more than $1,00OO00. The Swedish
Evangelical Church somehow or other
found out how Missionary Anderson
had obtained his wealth and employed
a firm of lawyers to get settlement
from him. He paid the church, as al
ready stated, $4,000, and got a re-
lease from It. Now the lawyers are
suing the church for their fee. They
say that they were to have 25 per
cent. Of whatever amount was received
from Anderson. The story Is one that
would answer as the basis for a sem
sational novel.

Senator Hanna is getting credit for
having prevented revolt of Republi-
can senators against the Presidents
method of doing some things in which
they are interested. 1t will be recalled
that at the beginning of Mr.. Roosevelt's
administration Senator Hanna told him
he had no favors to ask, and would
give him a loyal support. He appears
to be maintaining that attitude. Who
knows but that he will be the big man
of this administration as he was of
the preceding one!

The information comes from Pretoria,
South Africa, that the British forces are
now engaged in erecting blockhouses
at intervals of about one-third of mile
and connecting them with telephones.
Between the blockhouses barbed wire
entanglements are being constructed.
These latter are to prevent the Boer
horsemen from slipping past in the
night time.

An interesting suggestion in the re-
port Of Director of the Mint Roberts is
that the coming Of silver dollars be
stopped and all of the silver on hand
be used for subsidiary coins. Mr.. Rob
erts points out that the government
has now on hand millions of silver dol
lars more than the people will use.
The coins remain locked up in the
vaults of the government. while their
work is performed by silver certifi-
Gates. If the silver were in bullion
shape It would serve just as well as the
coins do.

Senator Hoar is very much in ear
nest about NARROWING the anarchists
He wishes this government to take the
initiative at once, and invite the other
governments to cooperate. In con-
nection with this scheme writer in
the New York Tribune suggests the
separation of the sexes. He advises
two anarchist colonies one for men and
one for women. The governments, he
argues, have not the moral right to
condemn unborn children to be reared
in an atmosphere of anarchy.

CAMDEN's VICTIMS.

The State Board of Health of New
Jersey, having reported that the re-
cent cases of lockjaw in Camden were
not caused by anything in the virus
used in vaccinating the people, the
health authorities have reinstated the
compulsory vaccination order Ten
children have died in that city within
the last few weeks from lockjaw and
others are i'll with it. The doctors say
that the disease is due to some un-
known local cause which they are
making strenuous efforts to discover.
The people Of Camden revolted
against the compulsory vaccination
order and took their children out of
the schools. There were then only
about nine cases Of smallpox in the
city. There are twenty-five now and
parents may be more willing to permit
their children to be vaccinated.
The feeling, however, that the te-
tanus germ is in the vaccine virus still
prevails to a considerable extent and
the health authorities may have trou-
BILE in enforcing their vaccination or
der. There is greater fear of the
lockjaw than Of the smallpox.

School boards sometimes do queer
things. In the city of st. Paul the
Lords Prayer has been barred out of

Roosevelt's message has been made

The more we reflect on the French
scheme to stock the Seine with Ameri-
can catfish the better we think of 1t.
But we fear the Frenchmen have not
yet thoroughly informed themselves
with respect to their fish. For in
stance, they say the catfish is "of
peaceful habits" That is only partly
true. The "cat" isn't much of a
fighter, but he might we'll adopt the
motto of Paul Jones' rattlssnake;
Don't tread on me-" The person VINO
has ever stepped on a catfish will
never forget the experience; which is
also true of the person who has at
would a perch or trout. AS every
American fisherman knows, the cat
fish is armed with three spines, one on
each side just abaft the gills and one
on the back, capable of infiicting very
painful and sometimes dangerous
wounds. And not only that, but the
"oat" seems to know how to manipu-
late those spines so that they will
stick into the fisherman's flesh deep
and hard. But II is only when the
catfish is cornered that he is danger
Gus. He never attacks anything that
ne can't swallow. and has never been
know to bite a man. II the French
men will treat the catfish kindly and
refrain from kicking him, we have no
doubt that they viii warm up to each
other. But we desire to put our
French friends on notice that no man
can kick a catfish with impunlty.

The announcement comes from Pitts
burg, Pa, that DR.. Leteve of the Mer-
cy Hospital in that city, has discov-
cred what has every indication Of be-
ing a successful serum for the treat

months has tested the serum on human
patients with gratifying results. If
the claim is well founded, DIR. Leteve
