 Few realize how many royal palaces there are in and near London. This is not surprising for few of them are used In any way by the King. To the aver age American tourist a palace that is not occupied by a king is an empty thing in- deed. Yet many of these palaces are of great artistic beauty and full of historic interest.
 The palaces here dealt with are FL tham Palace, Greenwich Palace The Tower of London, Crosby Hall. the Savoy Palace, Whitehall Palace. Westminster Palace, St. James's Palace, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace, Richmond Palace. Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Cas- tie.
 Perhaps the most attractive of these is

A negro butler more than ninety years old, with hair like a well-cared lambs fleece, who stood behind his grandmoth- CTS chair, was another source of in terest while the quarters separated from the dwelling by a leafy screen, where he heard weird songs and stories and where colored mammies roasted yams for him on cabin hearths. were a powerful mag net, drawing him often down the wooded path which led to them.
 The rigorous methods then employed in the management of children made the pendulum of maternal authority swing too far into the opposite direction, and Payne, who soon exhibited the faults which afterward assumed such over weening proportions. was generally per- mitted to follow his own sweet will. His stepfather. too, was far more linient to him than he would have been to an own son, often quoting to his mother, when results were beginning to sum up:
 Errors, like straws, upon the surface
 flow;
 Those who would seek for pearls must
 dive below.
 The grandmother alone seemed fully to realize the importance of this plastic period, and beguiling him into her apart ment set daily lessons for him to learn endeavoring to instruct him further by reading aloud to him. Payne, however possessed curious mental sieve, which separated the amusing and entertaining from the dry and didactic, and the bear and Indian stories and the boyish es- capades of his cousin.

Bonaparte and the members of the distinguished circle in which she moved, but with the ease and polish which he thus acquired he con- tracted habits of extravaganza and dis sipation which clung to him through life and eventually proved his ruin.
 When his parents were installed at the White House he joined them there. and, singularly handsome, with his mothers him as the Presidents son, he was sought magnetism and the glamor surroundins after and fiatered and soon lost all taste for the simple pleasure at Montpelier,

 Aroused to the danger of his situation, Madison prevailed upon him to accompa- !, ny the embassy to Europe to treat for peace with the British representatives at Ghent. There, however, he was regarded as the Prince of America, the heir appar- ent to foreign throne, and admitted to royal circles from which even the am- bassadors were excluded.
 Years afterward, when dissipation had set its stamp upon him, Henry Clay met him on the streets of Washington one morning. and, fixing a keenly scruteniz- ing look upon his face, said:
 Do you remember when we were in Russia together, how John Quincy Adams and all the rest of us set apart in a gall lery and watched you dance with the Czar's sister, we being debarred because we were not of the blood royal?
 Upon his return from this foreign so- journ his mother fondly expected that he would settle down to some useful oc- cupation, but he idled away his time, first in one city and then another, and. having squarfdered his own ample for tune. began to make demands upon hers. Her one hope for him now was marriage and he did fall honestly and ardently in love with Anne Cole, a beautiful Will liamsburg belle. Fortunately for her. she rejected his suit, when Mrs. Madison, in fiutter of anxiety, wrote, reminding him that there were many other charm ing girls in the world, begging that he would not turn his back upon the sex because one member of 1t had proved unkind."
 Young Todd, however, showed no dis position to repeat the experience. the re- suit of 1t being only to sink him deeper and deeper into dissipation.
 His stepfather was now often called upon to discharge his obligations at the gaming table, delicately referred to as business endorsements" and beauti- full, historic Montpelier was finally sold to pay his debts. When this crisis was reached he made some effort at restitu- tion by beginning upon Toddsworth, the adjoining place, house for his mother. Lack of funds, however, prevented it's completion, as well as that of his plan for the establishment of a silk farm, with which design he brought from France a

Mother az,d DaHzgE2fe1'.

They are types of healthy womanhood, this mother and daughter, and their intimacy is almost sisterly Almost every woman has seen once or twice the counterpart of these types of healthy womanhood And every woman knows how rare they are.
 Why is it that such splendid womanhood is so rare? The answer takes Us back to days before the daughters birth. No mother can have healthy child who is not herself healthy, Weak women do not bear strong children. The mother must have more than enough strength for herself before she has any to give her child. The average mother knows the weariness and nervousness of those days before baby comes. She knows that her strength goes out of her, her heart turns to water. She shrinks from the agony worse than death which crowns her with motherhood And each recurring period of such suffering leaves its mark alike on form and face, until she is and wan and weak.
 There is salvation from such suffering There is a way by which weak women can be made strong women and sick women can be made well women.

 Not long ago a fire broke out at mid night. When the department arrived only one lantern copbd be found The smoke was pouring out of the building. but no flame appeared, and the night was very dark.
 Finally a tongue of flame shot out of one corner of the building, and the crowd cheered as the man at the nozzle directed a stream of water toward it. At this cri- sis the expected captain, realizing the emergency, shouted:
 Be careful what you're doing man, keep the water off that blaze! Don't you see that's the only light we've got to put out the fire by?''
 The lndain and the SpectacIes. From the Kansas City Journal.
 "The Holton Recorder tells an amus- ing story of an Indian from the Pottawa- tonic Reservation who visited an ocul- ist in Holton to get pair of glasses. The oculist seated him, and went through the usual tests with printed cards, elic- iting from his customer but little com ment as he tried on the different lenses.

Dolly Madison s Life Cloudedby Scapegoat Son
CELEBRITY s. wAIrrLE, IN WASHINGTON POST.

When Dolly Madison (still lovingly re- membered by old Washingtonians) left the home of her sister. Mrs. George Step toe Washington. near Harper's Ferry, where the wedding knot was tied and began the journey of 100 miles to her husbands home, an atom of humanity nestled at her feet in the old-fashioned barouche. peering out with great won dering black eyes at the strange scenes through which they passed. This was Payne Todd. the son of her first marriage, destined to infuse into her life cup an ingredient so bitter that those aware of its presence marveled at the smiling face with which 1t was quaffed
 To the little Philadelphian, who knew the world only in It's brick and-mo aspect, the freedom and expanse of a Virginia plantation was a delight, and during his parents visit to town he al- ways begged to be allowed to remain with his "Grandmamma Madison" who, after her sons marriage moved to a wing of the building, where she maintained separate establishment
 The 5000 acres attacned 10 Montpelier belonged to the original Madison estate, taken up three years after settlement of Jamestown, and everything within doors and without was of interest The Decla-  ration of Independence hung for years upon its walls, and the tiger lilies on the lawn grew from seeds sent from La Grange by Lafayette. On this lawn the little boy romped with his young aunt Anna Payne, then only 12 years old, the sister child' of Mrs. Madison and the grandmother of Mrs. General Williams, who died three years ago in Washington, and who as Addie Cutts, and later as Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas. had a national reputation for her beauty and charm. There, was a fascinating garden, too at Montpelier, laid off by Madison in imi- tation of the Hall of Representatives with horseshoe terraces and parallelo- gram below, which furnished an mex haustible field for Paynes explorations 1t was fragrant in season with the double pink oleander blossoms, with which Mrs. Madison loved to decorate her young friends. and full of luscious fruit; and ingraciating himself with the French gardener, the little boy fell heir to the choicest specimens of these

AN OFFICE BOYS LUNCH
Variety Of Food Disposed of When
 Ample Opportunities offer.

From the New York Sun.
 An office boy likes to take his lunch at place where the proyender Is put on the counter and he can make his own selection placing what he wants on a large tray which he carries to a table.
 When he starts down the provender line he first selects a slice of the layer cake which has the most frosting and tracery on 1t. A gieam of trium ph light ems his face as he makes this capture Three ginger cakes for a nickel is the next rake-off. There never was a boy who did not like gingerbread
 Having showed this to one side of his tray he continues his raid The cup of hot chocolate is the next capture. A little farther down the line he spies the hot meats and soups.

DISASTER ON A TROLLEY.

Deadly Collision,

Utica, N. Y, July 5.-Two trolley
cars crowded with passengers col
lided on an electric railway near
Gloversville last night and Is persons
were killed and 80 injured. For a
distance of four miles north of Clio
versville the Mountain Lake railway,
an electric road, connects Glovers-
vile with popular place of resort
and picnic ground. AS it was the
Fourth of July the place was crowd
ed with pleasure seekers.
The road makes a steep ascent
from Gloversville to the resort, ris-
ing 1000 feet to the five miles. Last
night two cars crowded with per-
sons who were returning home from
the resort started down the grade
toward Gloversville only short dis
lance apart.
In some manner the motorman of the
second and rear car lost control of it
and it dashed ahead down the grade
in spite of the brakes and rapidly APP
preached the car preceding it. The
two came together with crash so vio-
lentas to completely telescope the cars,
killing and mangling the occupants.
After the collision the cars tumbled
over into the ditch at one side and one
of the cars started to burn.

caEO board of Trade

Kansas City, Mo-, July s.-Judge
Hook, III the United States court,
Monday, in handing down Il suit
brought by the Chicago board of
trade against the Christie Grand and
Stock company, of Kansas City, to
prevent the use of the Chicago
boards quotation, hcId against the
bucket shop on almost every point.
An appeal to the United States SUI
prcmc court will be taken. In its
suit filed Il year ago he Chicago
board of trade claimed n proprietary
right in its quotations and under the
new bucket shop law sought To com
pei grain spectators in different
states to pay for the use of them.
The Christie company fought the case
on the ground that the Chicago board
of trade was itself bucket shop
without standing, and further that
its quotations were public property.
The suit was in the form of an nppli-
cation by the board of trade for a
temporary Injunction.
