AS the commander in chief and the lord

presence they caught the fatal words.
"Game-and settr' 1t was the prime min

The king had risen from the ranks and
was pointed out IT. good books for the
young as an example of what a little boy
can do. Some of his old habits of speech
had chung to him. He advanced, rubbing
his hands:
And what can have the pleasure Of
showing you this morning."

said the lord chief justice, and he mar

We are sorry 10 trouble your majesty"
NO trouble. Quite correct. My mis-
take entirely. Let me see. now. The
royal robes are on the umbrella stand in
the han. AS for the crown-wby, where
on earth did l put that CROWN
1t was of no use. The small but COM
fortably appointed palace was searched
from roof to basement, but no crown
could be found, and without the crown
it was constitutionally impossible for the
king to act as king. He was an intelli-
gent man and the first to acknowledge
this fact
Let me see, now" he said. How does
this work out? The throne can only be
vacated by my death. Therefore no
other king can be appointed. I cannot
be king IN the absence of the crown.
Subjects are only subjects when they
have a king. Therefore constitutionally
this diminutive but high-spirited nation
does not exist"
No moro it did. And that shows what

absolutely legal and the purely consti-
tutional may reduce one to.-Black and

TO STUDY FINBACK WHALE.
Favorable Opportunity Afforded pr. A. c. True to Learn More About
 This Interesting Monster.

Dr. A. c. True, executive curator Of the National museum, has just started .ot two months trip to Newfound land to make a study of the fnback whales and other cetacea of the south ern coast of the British possessions. The chief object of Dr. True's trip is to secure a fine specimen of the sul- phur bottom finback for the National museum. He will go directly to a great international fishery, or whal- ing station, and as the monsters are captured with harpoon guns and brought up on the bank-a new meth cd of securing the blubber and whale bone-he will be able to study these wonderful animals in a way unknown before. 9p tr
 pr. True is now the only specialist in the study of whales in this country, most students abandoning itt after little research, on account tof the great difficulty under which they la- DOT while making their observations. The old way of studying this most interesting mammal, popularly.d SUD- posed to be fish because of it's envi- ronment, but which is essentially a mammal, was while it rotated partly under water during the process.of re- moving the sperm or blubber, and whalebone.
 Now pr. True will, for the first, time after many years of research and study, be able to walk around one of these huge beings while stretched upon ndFy land and fresh from the l. museunh is already the most ihfpor- tant in the United States, owing en- tirely to the diligence of this special Ist, and more. wonders are expected from this government trip.

 Fuller. higher. deeper than its own. Springs real glory dwells not in the morn
 ing,
 Gracious though 1t be, of her blue hours; But is hidden in her tender leaning To the summers richer wealth of flowers. Dawn is fair. because the mIsts fade slowly Into day, which floods the world with
 light;
 Twilight's mystery is so sweet and holy Just because 1t ends in starry night. Childhood's smiles unconscious graces bor-

 sorrow)
 Draw our hearts to some beloved eyes Life Is only bright when it proceedeth Toward a truer. deeper life above; Human love Is sweetest when it leadetn To a more divine and perfect love. Learn the mystery of progression duly: Do not call each glorious change decay; But know we only hold our treasures truly. When 1t seems as if they passed away. Nor dare to blame Gods gifts for incom-

 In that want their beauty lies; they roll Toward some infinite depth Of love and

 Bearing onward mans reluctant soul. r-Adelaide Anne Proctor, in Washington

 Do not talk that way" said Julia. kindly, ''but tell me about your friend" She could not say lover. ''Oh, how good you are, Miss Julia. He was the dearest, sweetest fellow that ever lived. So respectful and yet so tender. We had known each other from childhood, went to school to- gether, and were lovers always. Our love was felt rather than spoken, and it was only just before he~went to the war that he made formal proposal for my hand.

 She went downstairs and resumed her work. All at once terrible thought came into her mind. The tele- gram was directed to Julia. Why should Philip wire her? What did it mean? Had Julia, in the kindness of her heart, made this inquiry? She must find out. She found her way to the kitchen. The cook was preparing tea.

Big Rine Ready for nuHnIo.

It was expected the 16-inch rifle built for the coast defense would be sent to Buffalo as part of the gov ernment exhibit. Great interest is att tached to this gun, the largest mod ern piece of ordnance constructed in this country. It is now found the gun is not completed, although it has been under construction since 1892 and has cost something like $5o0,o0O. The delay in completing the gun has been remarkable, especially when the lack of progress on the weapon is com pared with the work done at Bethle- hem, Pa, where, under private con tract, was built an 1s-inch gun for the Gathmann company that throws shell weighing 2,00o pounds with velocity of 2,2O0 feet. It will be a disappointment to many that the 1S- inch gun is not ready for exhibition at Buffalo, but it will be some time before it is ready for shipment from Watervliet arsenal, New York.
