TENNYSON'S DEAR GIRL.
The Amusing Mistake Which Re.
suited from the Famous Poets
Imperfect Vision.

His defective eyesight was ever an
acute annoyance to him, and added
greatly to his innate shyness of
meeting strangers and going into
society, writes w. Gordon McCabe, in
Century. He constantly referred to
it, and once said to me: 1T led to
rather an amusing incident a few
years ago. Hallam and went with
Mr.. Gladstone as Sir Donald Currie's
guests on cruise in the Pembroke
Castle among the Hebrides and
thence to Denmark. While lying in
the harbor of Copenhagen we were
invited to dine at Fredensburg with
the king and queen of Denmark, and
the next day the whole royal party
came on board to luncheon. There
were the king and queen, "the prin-
cess" the car and czarina, and their
attendants and ladies and gentlemen
After luncheon the princess asked
me to read one of my poems, and
some one fetched the book. sat on
a sofa in the smoking-room next the
princess and another lady came and
sat beside me on the other side. The
car stood up just in front of me.
When finished reading, this lady
said something very civil, and I
thought she was Andrew Clark's
daughter, so I patted her on the
shoulder very affectionately and said:
MY dear girl, that's very kind of you,
very kind I heard the car chuck
ling nightly to himself, SO I looked
more nearly at her, and, God bless
me! It was the czarina herself"

SAILORS SAW KING OSCAR.
with Royalty When He Was
Youth.

In these Prince Henry days every.
one who has ever met a royal person
age is talking about it. Even those
whose friends have been introduced
to kings or princes are doing some
talking on their own account. That
is how the story of the way in which
Senator Perkins met King Oscar of
Norway and Sweden comes out at
this time.
Senator Perkins has been almost
everything in his day, says the New
York Tribune. In his own words, he
is sailor by profession, a merchant
by necessity, and a politician by ac-
cident. 1t was while he was a sailor
that his Swedish experience came to
him. His ship had just brought a
cargo of cotton to Stockholm, and
young Perkins in company with an
English sailor named Branscombe
decided to visit the royal palace.
They crawled into the grounds from a
drain pipe and were promptly arrest
ed by the gendarmes. The boys knew
no Swedish, their captors no English,
and it was beginning to look dark for
them when party of distinguished
people came along and took an inter-
est in their plight.
what are you doing in the kings
park?" asked one of them.
1--WE wanted to see the king and
how he lived" answered young Per-
kins, frankly.
'But don't you know" said the
man, "you might be put into prison
for trespass?"
1--WE don't want to hurt the king"
said the affrighted youth. "Only want
to see him.
II am King Oscar!" said the man,
and the boys looked their fill. Then
the king ordered soldier TO show
them through the palace.
In course of time Senator Perkins
became a rich man. Thirty years
later he was governor of California.
On boarding a yacht for cruise one
day he came across Harry Brans-
combe, the English sailor who had
shared his Swedish experience. The
man was still a common sailor, but
Senator Perkins found better berth
for him on one of his own ships.

Ed. West, and my own boyhood hero,
Dan Wright, received from $500 to
$500 month, and lived the lives Of
nabobs. Many of them wed with the
owners and masters of the boats, and
some of them were graduated from
the wheelhouse into the captains
cabin. In the main, however, pilot
lived exclusively in the atmosphere Of
his craft; he thought plotting, talked
plotting, breathed plotting and knew
no other element of existence.
OF the terrible disasters which at
tended river navigation on the Mis-
sissippi history has made abundant
record. Certainly one of the most dra-
matte incidents which took place on
the river was the picturesque rout
of the Indians by Capt. Throckmorton,
in the Black Hawk wa.
After the engagement of Battle-Ax,
when the warriors were swarming on
the river between the shore and Battle
Island, little below La Crosse, this
captain drove HE steamboat into their
fleet of canoes, the huge paddles of his
wheel crushing their frail craft and
creating greater havoc among them
than the guns of the enemy.
The fierce engagements of the civil
war which took place on the river and
along its shores may be left to his
tory, with the observation that the
outcome of that long and bitter strug-
gle might have been far different had
it not been for this great waterway
and the facilities which it afforded to
the army and navy of the north.
The first steamboat to thread the
Mississippi to- its upper waters was
the famous old Virginia, which accom-
plished this significant feat in 1928. or
16 years after Fulton had astonished
the world with his invention.
