in this case exceptional cleverness is
added to great position and fortune.
Lord Percy is an earnest politician, of
whom the world has heard much and
expects to hear more. The name OF
Lord Graham. who will be Duke OF
Montrose one day, springs naturally
to the lips when speaking of Lord Per-
cy. His talents are no less obvious,
but run in other grooves. He is fierce

he loves; he is one of the ablest or
youthful lecturers, and has Travelled
wide and far. He has more than a
nodding acquaintance with the army
and navy, and has lately. returned
from South Africa. Finally, and as be-
hooves the son Of one of the most
beautiful women in society, he is good
looking. Mr.. Mall Campbell, the son
of Lord Archibald, is not often heard
of, but his wife, when he chooses her,
may look forward to being Duchess OF
Argyll
Lord Dalhousie is another youthful
warrior and bachelor. He is hand

Lovat. His family is accounted the
handsomest in Scotland. Lord Mans
field is older than any of the others
mentioned, but the most confirmed
bachelors change their minds. His
possessions include a veritable an

builder vainly signs, and a house IN

Lord Leconfield, the host at the sea-

Negotiations for the sale of the
famous Hope diamond to rich
American have been in progress ever
since the big blue gem was brought
to the United States last November.
The price of the diamond is $780,
900.
1t is known that the Hope diamond
was recently sent to Senator Clark's
office at No. 40 Wall street, and that
ne examined it with great interest.
While he has never been known as a
collector Of rare gems he is known in
Europe and America as a large pur~
chaser of paintings and costly works
of art.
The Hope diamond came to the
United States on Nov. rs, 1901.
1t was brought over by Simon Frankel,
of the firm of Joseph Frankel's
Sons of Nassau street. The diamond
was brought in the safe of the Ger
man liner Kronprinz Wilhelm in a
plain pine case screwed to a shelf.
The Hope diamond is one of these
rarest of gems, perfect blue dia-
mond. 1t weighs 44% carats, and is
cusaion-shaped, rejecting deep sap
phire blue light from nearly 200
facets. AS to it's origin, that, like the
history of many other famous gems, is
shrouded in mystery. In it's present
size and form it dates back only to
1888, but there is good reason to be-
lieve that it is half of what was once

One of the Best of

published last Sunday reminds me
that good stories have no local habita-
ton Ian Maclaren, in his interesting
experience Of Drumtochty, brought to-
:gether under the title of "Auld Lang
Syre," tells story of Jamie" Soutar,
who possessed nippy tongue, which
he was very fond of exploiting at the
expense of humbugs of all sorts. DR..
Watson says one of Jamie's most fell
citous strokes was his guileless re-
Spouse to the humiliating invitation of
a lay preacher, who had secured the
Free Kirk for an exhoration meeting
to wake up Drumtochty to a sense of
its sinful condition, not being aware
that the people Of that village carried
their religion deep down in their souls
and not upon their sleeves.
"'Now, my dear friends said the
exhorter, all who wish to go to heav-
en-, stand up and Drumtochty rose in
a solid mass, except Lachlan Camp
bell, who considered the preacher ig-
norant of the very elements of doc
trine, and Jamie.

Experience With Dentist in thu

Experience With a Dentist in the
kIondike.
High prices in frontier towns was
the subject under discussion at an up
town hotel the other day, when
man who had recently returned from
the gold district in the Klondike told
the following story:
"People get used to paying big
money for tritles, and 81 for box of
sardines or S. for pound of bad
coffee become reasonable prices. I
kicked once&upon a time because the
price asked was too small. 1t was
like this: had a jumping toothache,
was nearly wild with it, when went
to the shanty where I was told there
was a dentist. A rough looking fellow
told me that he was it, and asked
him to draw my tooth. He looked me
over, got his forceps fastened on my
tooth, and yanked it out after a couple
of hard twists.
"'How much?' asked
"sWell, 81, l guess said the dentist.
II paid him, although my jaw still
ached pretty badly.
"'That's the cheapest thing I've
seen around here said.
"'Well,' he said, 4 thought I'd make
it low, because on account of the bad
light 1 pulled the wrong TOOTH
= II had to go the next day to have
the bad tooth out, and he made mat
tiers square by charging me $10.''

To the figure in it's shaping
Like the hourglass it is aping,
Swelling out in both directions from

With her soft eyes proudly blink

AS the pretty queen is thinking
Of the envious admiration she will
win,
Charming Bessie looks so queenly
AS she gracefully, serenely,
Lifts her skirts and mounts her auto
for a spin.
Down the avenue she's sailing
While film of steam is trailing
In her wake as feecy as a bridal veil;
At the knob her foot is banging
And the gong is loudly changing
At pedestrians who turn a deathly
pale!
See them rushing helter-skelter,
Seeking for a place of shelter,
While the fair 'mobilist's features
flash a grin,
For it is her sweet opinion
None dares question her dominion
When she's out upon her auto for a
spin.

the celebrated Tavernier diamond,
one of the crown jewels of King
Louis XV.-the Kohinoor of the
French crown. ~.
The Tavernier diamond was bought
in India in the early part of. the eight
eenth century by French traveller.
It was said at that time to have been
one Of the royal jewels of the Pha-
raohs of Egypt. At any rate, it was
brought to France and sold to the
king. -.
In 1892 it was seized by the revolu-
tionists along with the other crown
jewels and placed in a strong box in
the Gardemeubless From there it was
stolen more than. 100 years ago, and
no trace of it has ever been found. In
1880, however, a trader named Dan
iel Eliason appeared in London with
blue diamond about half the size
of the missing Tavernier gem, of
which he could give no history. This
was sold to Henry Thomas Hope,
ancestor of the present Lord Hope.
In 1874 there turned up tn Geneva
another blue diamond, exactly match
ing the Hope diamond in size and
color, and experts believe this gem,
known as the Brunswick diamond,
and the Hope diamond, are the halves
Of the lost Tavernier jewel.

Sent on Mission to Boston He Loses
His Money in a Poker Game and ls
Saved from Hunger by. a Faneied
~. :

Labouchere was once sent by the
British minister '.to look after some
Irish patriots at Boston. Taking up
his quarters at a small hotel, he en-
tered his name as Smith. If you have
an idle hour in almost any American
city you can get into game OF
draw" or anything else in the way of
gambling. In the evening of his ar
rival the attache incontinently entered
a gaming establishment and lost all
the money he had except half dol
lar. Then he went to bed, satisfied,
no doubt, with his prowess. The next
day the bailiff seized on the hotel for
debt, and all the guests were re-
quested to pay their bills and take
away their luggage. Labouchere could
not pay and could not, therefore, take
away his luggage. All he could do
was to write to Washington for a re-
mittance and wait two days for it's
arrival. The first day he walked about
and spent his half dollar on food. It
was summer and he slept on a bench
on the common. In the morning he
went to the bay to have wash, indie
pendent of all the cares and troubles
of civilization. But he had nothing
with which to buy himself a break
fast. Toward evening he grew very
hungry and entered a restaurant and
ordered a dinner without any clear
idea Of how he was to pay the bill
except to leave his coat in pledge.

young Labouchere's luck, tempered by
ready wit. AS the hungry and for
the time being penniless attache ate
his dinner he observed that all the
walters were Irishmen and that they
not only continually stared at him,
but were evidently discussing him
with one another. A guilty conscience
induced him to think that this was be-
cause of his impecunious appearance
and that they we're making calcula-
tons as to the value of his clothes.
At last one of them approached their
anxious customer and in a low voice
said: II beg your pardon, sir. Are
you the patriot Meagher?" Now this
patriot was gentleman who had
aided Smith O'Brien in his Irish rising
and had been sent to Australia, and
had escaped thence to the United
States.
1T was my business to look after
patriots" said Labouchere, telling me
the story, $50 put my finger before
my lips and said 'Hush!' at the same
time casting my eyes UP to the ceiling
as though l saw a vision of Erin beck
oning me. It was felt at once that I
| was Meagher. The choicest viands
| were placed before me and most ex-
cellent wine. When l had done JUS
tice to all the good things I went to
the bar and boldly asked for my bill.
| The proprietor, also an Irishman, said,
From a man like you who has suf
fered in the good cause can take no
money. Allow brother patriot to
| shake hands with you I allowed
| him." He further allowed the walters
| to shake hands with him and then
stalked forth with the stern, resolved,
but somewhat condescending air
which he had seen assumed by pa
triots in exile. Again he slept on the
common; again he washed in the bay.
Then he went to the postofice, got his
money and breakfasted.
