Didn't Appreciate the Funny Story.
Prince Albert appears to have

good man-not quick, but worthy.
How his lack Of fun worked him Ill
and did no good to Sir Edwin Land
seer is amusing enough. Sir Edwin
Landseer was a fayorite Of the
queen, and had in the prince con-
sort also great admirer. One day,
in the presence of a friend of the
prince consort, a German courtier
who was celebrated as raconteur,
the queen asked Landseer to tell a
story, the famous animal painter,
having the narrative and anecdotal
gift, and being in his way quite the
grand seigneur. He was modest,
however, and gave way to the Ger
man notabihty, who told a dogstory,
which, however, Landseer could not!
resist Gaping with one that bur-
lesqued the Germans professedly
personal and truthful "reminiscences

The queen enjoyed a good story,
and Landseer had often amused her
majesty, who expressed her pleasure
that the great painter was reminded
by the story of the prince consort s
friend of an incident that had oe-

Landseer opened the dogs mouth
and out dropped FIVE govereigns.
The dog had not only found the

The queen laughed heartily, the
prince was silent. When Landseer

Washington, June 21.-Acting under
the authority Of the act OF congress
approved June 6, 1900, and notice
issued jointly by the secretary Of the
treasury, the acting attorney general
and the secretary Of the interior, the
governments interest in the StouS
City and Pacific railroad company was
sold at auction during the day. to the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company for $2,112,O0O this being this
upset price fixed by the. government,
and including a credit Of $250,000 due
the company for mail transportation,
etc. The larger amount was paid in
cash. Some time ago the commission
appointed to estimate the value of
the road, fixed the amount at $780,.
900. OF this total, there were prior
liens amounting to $1,628,000, which
would leave the value of the govern
ment's claim, $1,872,OoO, which. with
the credit of $250,OO0, makes the
amount realized. The total amount
Of the governments claim, however,
was $1,62S,s20. in principal, and 3d.
5000. in interest, making a total Of
$4,1S4,5S9. According TO the value Of /.
the road as estimated by experts, no
amount greater than the price brought
could be realized, hence the upset
price was fixed at that figure. The in.
debtedness grew out of the issuance
Of bonds by the United States to the
railroad company under the acts of
fully 1, 1852, and July 2, 1864.
