An Anecdote of Nicholas.


Athens also tells many anecdotes of
his ready wit. Here is one of the lat
est:
Some weeks ago Prince Nicholas was
billed to arrive at a certain town at 10
o'clock in the morning, and it was ar
ranged that deputation of officers
should meet him at the station and
conduct him to a hotel. The Prince
kept his part of the agreement, but the
officers didn't. So Nicholas drove to
the hotel in a cab and telephoned the
gentlemen to come and lunch with
him.
They arrived full of evil forebodings,
but His Highness never mentioned the
mishap and wouldn't liston to any
apologies. The officers didn't escape
proper punishment. though, for all that.
When the garrison had drawn up at
the station, with flags and bunting and
drums and flies at the hour of depar-
ture, no Prince was to be seen. Off
GERS and men waited an hour-they
waited two hours. Nicholas did not
appear. 1t was 10 o'clock in the even
ing when the Colonel received a tel
egram from His Royal Highness say
ing goodbye.
1t appears that the Prince left the
city by carriage mounting the train at
ton committee that had failed to re-
ceive him.
Prince Nicholas is unmarried, but it
is suggested that his latest adventure
may gain him the love of some prin-
cess who prefers manliness to a crown.
OF course. she must have money, for
Nicholas is a poor man.
After the duel between Mourousi and
Pallis. which followed the ARRAY at
the road-house. and in which neither
was killed. Mourousi gave himself up
to the police. Prince Nicholas refuses.
however, to prosecute him.
Prince Mourousi. a grandson of the
sovereign Hospadar of that name who
reigned in Moldavia and Valacha-the
present Roumania-in the beginning of
the past century is we'll known IN
Paris. Vienna, Rome, Bucharest and
Athens as an aristocratic spendthrift.
rake and trawler of the worst kind
Why he assaulter Lieut.. Pallis is not
quite clear. While Mourousi claims TO
have good reason for quarreling, Pal
lis says they never met before the
fatal evening.
Prince Mourousi owns the most lux
urious palace in Athens, and his din
ners and other festivals are famed far
and wide for their lavishness.

boxing of great Importance and wishes
strongly that it might be introduced
in the Greek army.
Prince Nicholas is the manifest of
King Georges manly sons. He is 20
years old, and better looking and more
muscular than either the Prince Royal,
Duke of Sparta, or Prince George,
Governor of Crete. And, unlike the
Duke of Sparta, he has genuine talents
and takes his commission in the army
seriously.
That to-day Nicholas is only a cap
tain of artillery is entirely due to the
fact that he refused advancement prof
fered on account of his rank but out
of harmony with his actual service.
The soldiers love him, and his co-offi-
GERS admire his perfect simplicity and
his unqualified submission under army
rules

THE CHERRY TREE FRAUD.

We have received marked copy
of The State containing letter from
Mr.. j. +. Smith, of Monticello, Fla,
in which he calls attention to some
papers in South Carolina making an
attack upon him and his method OF
doing business. He is the publisher
of the Constitution. He says his
method is perfectly legitimate and as
clear as that Of any one. He does
not state what his method is, how
ever. We have made no attack upon
him or his business. We attacked
the cherry tree scheme, with which
he probably has no connection. We
said it was scheme that could not
work and advised our readers to steer
clear of it. And subsequent results,
we think fully justifies our warning.
We copy the following head lines
from a long article in the same paper
containing the marked article from
Mr.. Smith, this article contains
statements from many prominent
citizens Of Henrietta, n. G. The
headquarters Of the cherry tree
scheme, they denounce it as fraud
Of the first water. Here are the
head lines referred to: "Cherrv

Owens Himself has Nothing to do
With it"
This concern was chartered under
the laws Of North Carolina and an
official investigation has been IT.
progress there with the result that
the whole business is declared to be
II swindle.
So you see we were right in warn
ing our readers to steer clear OF the
cherry tree swindle, but We hav"
made DO attack upon Mr.. Smith, OF
Florida.

while their jaws are doing extra duty
chrouching nuts, candy, rnisins, ap-
Piles and oranges, keeping time with
the ceaseless din. But who can

We met more editors on our trip
to the Charleston Exposition than
we have ever seen together They
are all jolly, good natured fellows
and we were glad to be with them.
They were universally enthusiastic
in their praise OF the work already
accomplished by the managers of the
Exposition, and they are all determ-
ined to redouble their efforts to help
push the Exposition along and make
1t the grandest thing OF me kind ever
seen in the South. There will be
many columns in the country week
lies regarding the trip to Charleston,
and the sights that were seen. THE

up on the wing while in the city. See

The decision Of the court Of inquiry
in the Schley trial has rendered it's
opinion. Admiral Benham and Ram
sey accuse the gallant Schley OF
vacilation aud dilatoriness in his
campaign. They nre jealous Of
SchIey and his glorious victory. The
people ct the country have long
since rendered the verdict in the
Schley case, and it is more in keep
ing with Admiral Dewey's report.
He was the Judge before whom the
case was heard and he says sohley's
blockade was effective and his every
act was commsndsble and he is en-
titled to all credit due in The glorious
victory for which he is responsible,
Schley will probably appeal from the
finding Of the majority.

and have good time. II you feel
like you are obliged to get drunk be-
cause it is Christmns, get your whis-
key, 90 off from town, get in a gully
all by yourself and get on u drunk.
Thus you will succumb to y,ur mas
ter, your uncomfortable appetite for
strong drink, but will have the satis-
faction when you come around to
yourself OF knowing that you have
not made an ass Of yourself before

days ago:
John +. Harrison, II pioneer
settler in Audrain county, is one
of the best known stOckmen in
Central Missouri. He has fam
lily of twelve children, several of
whom are almost aS prominent as
their father.
NicissitudcS seem to have help
ed the family. Only n few years
ago their large residence, north
east of Centralia, was RACED to the
ground by IL cyclone and several
of the children narrowly escaped
death. The baby was found half
Il mile from home in the branches
of an uprooted tree. One arm
was broken aud the other was
pinned to the tree by huge Sliv-
er Of wood, Immediate medical
attention was all that saved its
life.
Many victims of the cyclone
were derangcd for time over the
heavy financial losses. Altho Mr..
Harrison lost his homestead, eat
tie sheds and II fine barn, he be-
gan clearing away the debris in
stead of worrying over the situa-
ton, In less than four months a
new and finer house had been G.
rected, together with new barns
and outbuildings.

reciprocated,
