HER LAST HOURS.
Venerable victoria's Passing
Was One of Peace.
A srupeNDous CHANGE IMMINENT.

xerivy Council About to Proclaim the
Prince OF Wales the Sovereign Ruler
OF the Mighty British tmpire-Par.
Lament Convenes to Take suitable
Action.
Cowes, Isle OF Wight. Jan. 23.-Queen
Victoria Is dead and Edward VII
reigns.' The greatest event in the
memory of this generation, the most
stupendous change in existing condi-
tions that could possibly be imagined,
has taken place quietly, almost gently,
upon Tuesday evening, the anniver-
sary Of the death OF Queen victoria'n q
father, the Duke Of Kent.
The end OF this notable career came
in simply furnished room In Osborne
house. This most respected Of all
women, living or dead, lay In great
four-posted bed and made a shrunken
atom whose aged face and figure were
cruel mockery OF the fair girl who,
in 1897, began to rule over England.
Around her were gathered almost
every descendant OF her line. Well
within view OF her dying eyes there
hung a portrait of the prince consort.
1t was he who designed the room and
every part Of the castle. In scarcely
audible words the white-haired bishop
of Winchester prayed beside her as he
had often prayed with his sovereign,
for he was her chaplain at Windsor.
With bowed heads the imperious ruler
of the German empire and the man
who is now king of England, the wom-
an who has succeeded to the title of
queen, the princes and princesses and
those Of less than royal designation
listened to the bishops ceaseless
prayer.
Six o'clock passed. The bishop con-
tinued his intercession. One OF the
younger children asked question In
shrill, childish treble and was immedi-
ately silenced. The women OF this
royal family sobbed family and the
men shuff1ed uneasily. At exactly half
past six, Sir James Reid held up his
hand. and the people in the room knew
that England had lost her queen. The
bishop pronounced the benediction.
The queen passed away quite peace
fully. She suffered no pain. Those
who were now mourners went to their
rooms.
For several weeks the queen had
been failing. On Monday week she
summoned Lord Roberts and asked
him some very searching questions re-
garding the war in South Africa. On
Tuesday she went for drive, but was
visibly affected. On Wednesday she
suffered paralytic stroke, accompa-
MED by intense physical weakness. 1t
was her first illness in all her 81 years
and she would not admit it. Then her
condition grew so serious that, against
her wishes. the family were sum-
moned. When they arrived her reason
he'd practically succumbed to paralysis
and weakness. The events Of the last
few days, described in the bulletins,
are too fresh to need repetition.
The body of Queen Victoria was en-
balmed and will probably be taken to
Windsor Saturday.

BACKWOODS
SKETCHES
By A. NJ GREELEY.
SHE HAD STRUCK HIM BEFORE.
~ a. NJ. GREELEY.

An old man had hobbled down to
the Great Northern depot to await an
.east-bonnd train. He informed a
stander-by that be had come to meet
ther old woman who's been visiting
folks ID the alkali country His eye
sight was dim and he stood too near
the edge Of the platform. AS the big.
engine came snorting in, the cross
beam III front OF the pilot struck him
with terrific force. His bent body was
hurled aloft like a stick of wood,
struck the depot with a sickening thud,
and on the rebound rolled over and
over upon the platform. Bruised and
battered he lay as one dead.
A solenn-faeed woman with coarse,
yellow hair just then edged her way
through the horror frozen crowd. She.
caught sight Of the familiar face that
coniining years had likened to her
own, and throwing aside an arnlful Of
bundles, with wild, lingering cry
she fell upon his PROSTATE body.
He opened his eyes and fixed q re-
proaehful. angry gaze upon her.
Becky, he said family, .you and
me has had many hard scrap, but
this is the fust time that Yer ever took
a fall OUT OF me without howl of
warning.
And with an injured gaze, he passed
to the land which holds more unre-
turned travellers than the Klondy ke.

The Upper Mississippi valley
is the favorite haunt of the In

longer than in any other portion
Of the continent Here the air is
the stillest, the haze which softens
the landscape produces the most

amid the richest reds Itself a
red wonder aud sets amid the
most Astounding gfories. The
heavy dews which fail at night
provide just enough moisture for
the air to redeem it from uncom-
Portable dryness and the coolness
of the hours between sunset and
dawn converts it into a sort of
vaporized champagne, bracing,
exhilarating, a veritable elixir of
