proper state and grandeur OF Monarchy and to

SO as to meet the circumstances of the day. In
place of a widowed Queen there is a King
with virtually Queen COnsOrt; and larger
grants will naturally be asked for the main
tenance of Queen Alexandra on proper scale;
and she is popular she is gracious there
will be no difficulty in the matter. The prece
dents for the Prince and Princess of Wales will
avail for providing equal financial allowances for
the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and their
children; and as they, too. are greatly respected
and esteemed and are at this time proving their
utility to the State by journey to the Antipodes

undertaking. There may also be a special plea
for increased grants to the new Court, since II
will not be in retirement. but constantly on ex-
hibition in London and will be conducted with
splendor worthy of the dignity and glory of the
Empire Resistance to such additional grants
would, however. be inevitable. although there
would be a logical argument for justifying
larger expenditures in the exgencies OF the case.

the Civil Lists 10 the fact that the
special sources of revenue reserved for the
Royal Household have been enlarged under
good management TO yield increased
income. The larger balance will not BE-
placed TO the credit Of royalty for increased
expenditures. The Crown Lands will be
sidered national assets. and IL there has been
an increased income from them il is the good
fortune OF the people, and royalty has no lien
upon it, This is the popular view. whatever may
have been the conditions under which the last
two Soyereigns at the opening Of their reigns
made a surrender Of hereditary possessions and
retained the revenues of the duchies- English
men have accustomed themselves to the re-
flectiOn that Queen Victoria had valid claim
upon these sources of revenue, and that what
was given to her and to her family during
the long reign was bestowed as a national grant,
and generously withal, that she lived and died
one of the richest Sovereigns in the world. Their
reasons for questioning the soundness Of this
conclusion, and especially for believing that the
wealth OF the Queen always grossly exaG-
gerated; but il will be mpracticable for any one
TO convince Englishmen that there was any mis-
calculation in this respect. any lack OF gen
erosty TO the beloved Sovereign.
The Civil List was originally adopted. not
because there was any special desire the part
of Parliament 10 regulate the private expendit-
ures Of the Sovereign. but in order to get rid Of
the necessity for grants of money for the pay
ment OF royal debts. This had occurred repeat
edy before a hard and fast contract was made
for the surrender of the Crown Lands in return
for fixed sum- and it had been a garing scan
dal, which had discredited Monarchy The

The Pekinu eazette,s Adventures.

The Picking Gazette, which justly
claims to be the oldest newspaper in
the world, having been founded in
113O, may be said to have appeared
with an irregularity tantamount to
suspension during the late Chinese
troubles. A very few copies of this
journal have survived those trou-
bles, as the Boxers made point of
destroying all the printed matter
they could lay their hands on con-
tanning edicts, ETC.. hostile to their
cause and of decapitating its pub
fishers. Consequently The Gazette
had to be secretly printed, and it is
only lately that some members OF
the editorial staff have been able to
return to Picking under the protec-
ton of the American authorities
there. It is a significant circum-
stance that during its existence for
seven and half centuries every sus-
pension of its publication has been
followed by the establishment of a
new dynasty.-London Chronicle.

Actually Carried a Chair.

Many people seem to remember
only by an effort that the Empress
Frederick was the princess royal of
England. She herself never forgets
it. 1t was a grievance of the Ger
man court that the wife of their
crown prince always remained "die
Englanderin." Bismarck was never
tired of growing at it. Her easy,
informal manners were always scan
dalizing the stiff Prussian court.
Soon after her marriage she shocked
her lady in waiting by carrying a
chair across the room for herself.
The lady protested. 1t did not be-
come a princess of Prussia, she re-
monstrated, to carry her own chairs.
"Well," replied her mistress, 'Sthe
princess royal of England doesn't
mind doing it. In fact, have often
seen my mother carrying two

CONDENSED STORIES.
"Bobs" as Sherlock Holmes and the
Remark He Overheard.

A delightful story is told of
''Bobs" in the role of amateur de-
tective. Many years ago the gallant
field marshal was commanding a ma
tive regiment in India. The men
were excellent fighters, but their
moral standard was not quite what
one would consider perfection.
Their peccadillos were regarded
leniently, but the line had to be
drawn somewhere, and one day when
a sergeant complained that his
watch had been purloined by COM
rade Major Roberts decided that
the time had come. he accordingly
harangued the regiment at large at
evening parade on the Nervousness
of the crime committed by. one of
their number, and, knowing the ma
tive character, he tried what could
be done BY blufing. Therefore be-
fore dismissing the men he assured
them that he knew the thief and
that unless the watch was restored
to its owner before the next reveille
sounded he would be tried by court
martial. The next morning the SER
geant reported that under cover of
darkness the watch had been restor-
ed to his locker. The major was
naturally pleased with himself, but
during the course of the day he
overheard two of his men talking in
way which somewhat lessened his
self satisfaction. "What wonder
full man the sahib 'isp' said one of
them in a tone of admiration. ''He
actually knew who took the SER
geant's watch and made him return
itw "Ah, my brother" replied the
other, "of course the sahib knew
where the watch was, and why? Be
cause he stole it himself !"-Home

1t all meant. and a little jealous pain
went through her heart, for she had
once overheard the housemaid telling
the cook that all men were tickle and
that when they were away from one
they never thought of one at all and
were taken up with whoever was near
est them, and the cook had agreed fully
with all that the housemaid had said,
and the cook knew men If any one did,
she said.
So little Morning Glory hung her
leaves In sadness and quite forgot to
feel proud of her pretty pink babies,
for there were great many of them
now.
Once she felt something tug at her
roots, and a rough hand grasped her;
then kind voice said: Don't touch
that. Master loved the little vine, and
1t must be left as it is Oh. how re-
lieved little Morning Glory felt at these
words! She reached out and tried to
touch the speaker, but the maid hur-
ried away and never saw the little
green hands at all.
Soon the nights began to be chilly,
and one by one her babies left her and
futtered to the ground, and she herself
grew pale and felt very weak and ill.
and she feared that she was going to
die. How she wished that Somebody
would come back! She was afraid that
he would be too late.
One morning she heard the window
open, and Somebody again stood there.
There was some one with him nova
beautiful lady-and he held her in his
arms and called her Sweetheart" In
his new happiness he had quite forgot
ten his little friend, and Morning
Glory's heart ached as she remembered
what the maid had told the cook
Just then Somebody looked out and
saw poor little Morning Glory with her
leaves all faded and brown, and he re-
preached himself because he had not
thought of her before.
''Here, dearest" he said to the lady,
"this is the little friend | told you of"
And he laid the withered little stem in
the lady's delicate hand.
A glad thrill ran through the Morning
Glory. and she dropped GO tiny seeds
into the soft open palm; then as the
wind swept around the corner sudden
shudder seized her. and little Morning
Glory was dead.

means good luck. 1t is her gift to the
bride"
And the beautiful lady smiled, and
she put the seeds in little box, say
ing, Next year we will have another

old one"
NO." said Somebody. "Isever one
quite like that. for that one was like
q little friend. 1t really seemed to
understand me. But then don't need
any one to understand me now, for
have YOU" And again the lady was
folded in a loving embrace. and Some
body kissed her softly.

MANLY ATTITUDE
TOWARD PRESIDENCY

President Roosevelt has definitely
and positively. though unofficially
stated his position relative to the re-
publican nomination in 1904. He
will make no fight for the honor, but
if the people of the United States
show their approval of his course dur
ing the three and half years that he
occupies the position of chief magis-
trate of the land by placing his name
at the head of the next republican
national ticket, he will be extremely
grateful, and will not decline.
The President announced this as his
attitude during an interview with sew
eral representative republicans from
South Carolina.
Mr. Roosevelt went further and
stated that if he had to pander to any
political clique, combination or move.
ment, he did not want the nomina-
ton and would not give rap for it,
emphasizing his feelings in the mat
ter by swapping his fingers as he spoke.
The conversation leading to this ex-
preston by Mr.. Roosevelt bore upon
the strong Endorsement of Mr.. Bla-
lock for the position of collector OF
internal revenue. 1t was asserted
that President Mckinley had decided
to appoint Mr.. Blalock and that ii
was the purpose of Mr.. Roosevelt to
carry out the intention of his prede-
cesSor.
Subsequently the President heard a
report concerning Mr.. Blalock's con.
duct whie sojourning in the national
capital which greatly displeased him
When the South Carolina delega-
ton called at the White House the
President explained to them the ma
ture of the allegations against Mr.
Blalock, which, it is said, amounted
to nothing more than that he and BIZ
friends had INDUCED in convivialty

Fair Exchange, Yet a Robbery

While Gustave Dore was at Schl and
wandering about the mountains he be-
came much interested in a country
wedding and sketched it on the spot
He put the sketch into q book in the
pocket of his paletot and went back to
the hotel to dinner. After dinner he
looked for the sketch. 1t was gone.
Angry at the theft, the artist called
the landlord and made complaint, but
no trace of the book was found. From
Ischl Dore went to Vienna, and there
he found a letter and parcel awaiting
him. The letter, which was anony-
nous. read thus:
''Sir, l stole your book at Ischl. The
sketch was so charming that ! could
not resist the temptation of having it
in my possession, and knew very well
you would never consent to sell it to
me. But theft is neither my trade nor
my habit, and beg you to accept as a
souvenir of my crime and my enthusi-
asm for your talent the walking stick
which will reach you at the same time
as this letter"

LONDON, Oct. II. Where
are all the Beers coming from?'
is the question heard dozen
times a day. If the official re-
ports of the killed and prisoners
are trustworthy the entire male
population of the two republics
was wiped out long ago. A gen
tleman heard an answer to this
question from one lately returned
from South Africa. which he
gives exactly as it was stated,
without vouching for its accu-
racy:
s'Bave you noticed how many
are reported missing after every
skirmish? Some of these return
to the ranks, but many don't
No, the Beers do not keep pris-
onerS, and are not yet accused of
numbering them. This means
that many are missing from the
English ranks and prefer to stay
among the Beers.
Besides these there have been
hundreds. probably thousands,

JOY of roaming off at their own
sweet will when they don't

This accounts in a large de-
gree for the facility of the Boer
commanders in walking through
the British cordons whenever
they please. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world for a few for
mer 'Tommies, acting as scouts,
on meeting a British outpost to
give a false description of the
troops following and pass them
selves off as British and so es-
cape in the darkness.
s.Of course there is no means
of verifying the actual number
of such desertions, but it was
learned, on what [ have reason
to regard as excellent authority
in Cape Town, that the total
