A KINGS SUPERSTITION.
Edward VII. WouId Not Eat with
Thirteen at IA Table.

Apropos Of the Kings trip to London
from the north the other day | have it
from one Of the officials that supersti-
ton is not unknown in the royal circle.
The travellers got out OF the train at
Stirling to rave their dinner, and when
they were all seated it was discovered
that there were thirteen people at the.
table.
Il am very sorry, my dear fellow, ;,
said the King, addressing one of his
cQucrres. but | fear you will have TO
80 TO another table | shall never be
able to eat my dinner in peace and com
fort so long as We are thirteen, or un-
less we have another member of the
party 10 make the fourteenth"
Just then the stationmaster. a heavy.
bulky. stogy gentleman, stood in the
door, hat in hand, 4 smile lighted up
the face of the sovereign as he cried:
Il have it, | shall ask the station
master To make number fourteen"
And he did. much TO the aStonishment
Of the frightened official, who was forth
with ordered to sit down and dine at
the royal table. You may take il as a
certainty that there is IA humble Scotch
family which will forever cherish the
memory of the day when one of its
members became distinguished by being
asked to dine with King Edward That

ITO REFUSED A PASS.
Japanese Railroads Compel All TRAY
eIers to Pay.

Marquis Ito the japanese statesman.
said, while in St. I'aul recently. that Of
all the American customs that impressed
him as peculiar the free transportation
extended by the railroads of this country
seemed most odd.
Why said he, SHOULD railroad give
away tickets? Every bit of mileage to
them is the same as a piece of cloth to
a dry goods firm. In Japan everyone
has to pay for his transportation. | new

When the marquis and party decided TO
proceed east from st. Paul over the Mil
waukee line the officials of the road ex-
tended to the distinguished Japanese and
his companions the courtesy of the line
and informed Mr.. lto's private secretary
that the tickets and the private car
would cost nothing. The secretary was
visibly embarrassed and shook his head
obviously as he left the office of the com
pany to convey the startling information
to his master. Shortly atterward Mar
quis Ito appeared at the railroad office
and insisted on paying far the tickets

Il have no claim TO your esteemed

Physicians Much Interested.

Northport, Mich. Dec. 9.-The medi-
cal men are just now eagerly discuss,
ing most remarkable cure of a severe
case of Kidney Disease in this county.
Mr. Byron o. Leslie of Northport has
for years been a victim of Kidney de-
engagements with all the consequent
pain and annoyance. He was gradually
growing worse and as the disease ad-
vanced he became very Respondent,
often wondering if he would have to
endure this suffering all his lifetime.
But at last he found a remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would not last. Now, how
ever, after months Of continued good
health. he has concluded that he is
permanently cured and his announce
ment of this has caused a profound
sensation among the physicians and
the people who knew of his apparently
hopeless condition.

Big Engineering Project for Texas

The irrigablc water in Texas is derived
mostly from the Rio Grande the Pecos
and the Canadian, and enough water
flows down these streams to~irrigate the
whole valley from end to end. In the
autunn the water of the Rio Grande
is somewhat exhausted before it reaches
the Texas line, and the farming industry
below Ell Paso is thus threatened but
the June foods send the water down in
riotous abundance, so that valuable crops
are often ruined by its overflow The
engineering question of paramount i'm
portance in Texas is to control the wa
tiers of the Rio Grande by storing the
overflow of June for the droughts Of
August. Attempts are already being
made to do this, but it will be a gigantic
engineering feat that will require years
for mpletion.-Gunton's Magazine.

THREE GIFTS.


There Is a night which children love.
4 time Of fadeless youth,
a time when tenderest legendry
Entwines with hottest truth.
o happy night. o holy night.
Still shines thy radiant star
On shepherds watching IN the fields,
Ger wise men journeying far.
There IS a tree the children love
Whose flowers are all pf light.
Whose fruiJage is a shower OF gifts
OF wonder and delight.
Bencath the branches of that tree
Care flies and pain is mute.
And hands long sundered meet again
When gathering its fruit.
There is Child the children love,
COuched on His mother knee,
On Him the happy star does shine,
And on the Christmas tree.
out from those baby hands Of His,
Like rose leaves softly curled.
Hath come that happy, holy thing.
The Christmas Of the world.

Cold Wave Warnings for Farmers.

through its rural mail delivery, has
placed at the disposal of the weather

of bringing its daily forecasts, frost and

able use of them The latest forecast
of the weather is printed on small slips
