chidren's eyes were not treated and
fitted to glasses as they are now.
At a very early age Anne excelled at
cards, often playing for very high stakes.
No one tried to correct this bad habit,
because gambling was the chief pas
time at the English court since the timS
of Henry VIII, she having been intro
duced at court when she should still have
been in the school room.
At the age Of 10 she married Prince
George, brother to the king of Denmark.
The wedding ceremony was conducted
with great pomp and was followed by
unusual celebrations. Her uncle King
Charles II. settled twenty thousand
pounds year on the bride, with small
palace adjoining for her residence it
having been arranged that she was not
to go to Denmark to live. -

and her father professed himself a mem
Der of the church of Rome. At the same
time he had his daughters educated in
the principles of the church of England,
to which Anne always retained a very
ardent if not enlightened attachment.
Seldom in the whole course of her life
did she maintain so much resolution and
independence Of mind as in her resist

in the contest which distracted England
was a matter Of deep anxiety. She seems
at first to have hesitated, being inclined
to the cause of her father, whose favorite
daughter she was. Fi!!al duty was on
one side and the interests of the religion
to which she was sincerely attached were
on the other. But Lord Churchill had

initiation of one Paul Jones fur

1t appears that he is left handed, and he
got the idea into his head that he would
have to do something out of the ordi-
nary to comply with the requirements
of the organization. Instead OF using his
left hand in the salutation he invariably
used his right, and after he had repeat
ed the mistake several times, to his great
expense, he got one of his friends to tie
up the offending member and then had
to conceal it in his pocket. When seen
on the street several hours later he still
had the hand in his pocket.

After the queens death Anne wrote a

On the accession of Anne, Prince
George, her husband, received nom1-
nally the command of the army. and had
he been man of greater capacity, it is
not unlikely that he would have been
placed on the throne, as William had
been. King Charles II said of him:

that was the union between Scotland

both countries. and signed and ratified
in great state in the presence of the

Senator jim Tapp had quite an exciting
experience yesterday morning. When
he got up he went hunting around the
building, and found strange man sleep
ing on the sofa in the parlor. He had
on an overcoat, and was very sound
asleep. Mr.. Tapp walked up TO him and
at first thought it was some of the fam
lily, but soon found out his mistake. He
took hold of the fellows leg and gave 1t
a good pull, and ahen another, and the
man rolled off the sofa. He scratched his
head and looked foolish, and Mr.. Tapp
said
Hello, pardner! What are you doing
here?"
The fellow scratched his head some
more, and Said Il dunno"
lie then started to lie down as if to go
TO sleep again, but Mr. Tapp gave his
leg another pun, and said:
Say. What are you doing here?"
The fellow scratched his head again,
and answered:
Say, but I must have been awful full,
I can't remember"
Where were you when you last knew
where you were at?' asked the genial
senator.
"Dogged if know. Where is my hat?"
asked the sleepy man.
He kept scratching his head. Both men
looked around the room. but couldn't find
the hat, and as Mr.. Tapp was going to
the store, he told the man to come and
go along with him. As they Were going
down the street the man told him he
was a charcoal burner from Augusta,
and the last thing he remembered he was
some place and was having a good time.
How he got into Mr.. Tapps house he
die not know.
