HONORING THE PRINCE.

Henry's Engine Didn't .Tank Up" In
Miggsville, Sad TO Relate.
The little hamlet of Miggsyille was
greatly excited. Prince Henry, the
kaiser's handsome sailor brother, was
to visit the tiny village, and everybody
was In "A culver. Miggsyille was a WA.
ter station, and it might take all OF
ten minutes for the locomotive to tank
up, and during that time the prince
would be with them.
They're bound to stop for water,
said John AIlllngton, the station mas.
ter
We'll, there's one thing certain-they
won't stop for beer" said Jim Pettus, a
gray-halred lounger.
Miggsvllle is a dry town.
I'm bet Jim thinks it's pity tibet
locomotives don't tank up at brew'r-
les, said Cy Braggins, as he sliced a
fresh silver from pine packing case.
We'll, o course we got to do some.
thin said Ike Selvldge. who was
widely recognized as hustling citizen.
I'VE want to show our friendly feeling
same as the other places. We've got to
get up program
What kind o progra mme?' asked
Abe Barnum.
well, the girls at the 'cademy can
come out In white dresses said Ike.
Too cold fer white dresses" said
Pete Hammond
They can come out anyway an
wave flags" said Ike. AN wen get
out Joe Morgan's anvil an fire it jest
as the train comes in. An o course
the bandit have to get together and
practice an play somethin' German"
The bandit" snorted Pete. "Why,
they halnt' played together since last
July. An l don't b'lieve they know
anything German"
'They kin practice" said Ike SOL
EMMY.
And so on the eyentful day the sta
ton at Mlggsvllle was lively sight.
Pretty nearly everybody in town was
there the academy girls were drawn
up In line, each with flag, the leading
citizens in their best clothes filed the
background, and at one corner stood
the band seven men strong.
There was hoarse boot, distant
rumble, Il preliminary cheer, and then
an awful turmoil of sound paralyzed
the listening ears. 1t was the Miggs-
Vile cornet band playing the "Wacht
nm Rheln," with variations.
On came the roaring train. On OH.
aud then with Wild screech, it flew
by and was gone.
THAT derned band skeered the loco
motive" said Pete Hammond.
And then. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, everybody went home.

Bombay Hemmed In by n Great City
of the Dead.

Bombay Is a city Of surprises, with
palaces, parti-colored and covered
with tracery as delicate as lace-work:
caves and dark novels close by rows OF
open gold cutters art, side by side with
the little shops, the choicest specimens
of the betel nut and common grain
merchants. A stubbornly fanatical
race, who literally, and in tens of thou
sands. die the most awful of all deaths
rather than allow the ''unclean'' ferln-
ghee to touch his dying body or his
corpse. That Is the cruz of the
plague commission. The sufferers can
not be made to believe that their re-.
ligious rites will be respected.
Three and four years ago 1000 cases
occurred daily in Bombay alone. The
hotels were empty. the shops shut, the
people who could had fed, no one was

Carried to the gates of the grille or
sloping gridiron, the bodies were hur-

One hears often of the respectful.
ideas found In parts of Europe and it
is often asked why none of them come
to America, says the New York Sun.
The following experience seems to
show that some do come, but that per-
haps the air of liberty is not favorable
to good servants. She was a Norwc-
gian, well educated, well trained, nice
looking, an unusually desirable find
In fact and she brought JOY to one of
those small families whose perennial
cry Is: "Wanted-A girl to do general
housework." Here Is her brief rec
ord: The first month she sought to help
the master to put on his overcoat and
made queer bobbing courtesies when
she spoke to the mistress. The second
month she ceased these attentions. but
instead made inquiries as to the hour
at which she was entitled to- stop work
on her days out. The third month she
suggested a raise of wages. The fourth
month she said that more washing
ought to be sent out. The fifth month
she announced her approaching de
parture. As all her previous sugges-
tons had been complied with prompt
ly, this caused surprise. She was ask
ed II no other concessions could be
made. She replied, no, that she was
merely getting used to American ways
and she thought she would like anoth-
err place for the sake of a change.

THE BABIES BEDTIME.


Sweet are children in the morning, in the
afternoon or night.
In their dainty frocks Of red ard blue,
or gowns of simple white;
In their play up in the playroom. in the
yard or on the lawn.
But they're sweetest when II, bedtime.
aud they get their 'nghties' on.
Little ghosts OF white a-romping DER the
bed and through the room.
In the season of lifetime they're the
rosy month OF June:
Little ghosts OF white a.marcbing TO the
music of their laugh,
And the one who e'er would miss II sees
in life its minor half.
Little curs a-dangling frowsy--to the
heads a fitting wreath
Little gowns Arranging loosely, and the
pecping feet beneath;
Merry monarchs OF the household and
their love Is MS the fawn.
And they're sweetest when us bedtime
and they've got their ''nighiies" ON.
oh. the clear notes OF their laughter, and
the patter OF their feet,
As they romp and chase each other in the
game of hide and seek
Gives hint of faint suspicion OF the
world that is TO be-
For the Master taught ny. saying "Snf-
fer these 10 come to me-
Soon fatigue o'ercomps the players, and
the white brigade Is still,
And the Now lay me" whispered with
n pleading and will.
oh. the wee tots arcn slumber and their
dreams are in rcpose,
For the clearncsg of conscience rivals
beauties OF the rose.
And the white. uptnrned. sweet yisage
adds to innocence the charm
or the soul reposng trust upon the gt;tr-
dian angels arm
oh, the swectes,-scepted nectar flowing
from this life Is gone, .
