A GLUTToNoUs BoY.-A merchant
died at 1spahan in the earlier part of
last century who had for many years
denied himself and his son every sup
port except crust Of coarse bread. On
a certain occasion he was overtempted
to buy a piece of cheese; but, reproach-
ing himself with extravaganza, he put
the cheese into a bottle and contented
himself and obliged the boy to do the
same, with rubbing the crust against
the bottle, enjoying the cheese in imas-
ination. One day, returning home later
than usual, the merchant found his son
eating his crust, which he constantly
rubbed against the door.
What are you about, you fool?' was
his exclamation. 1T is dinner time,
father. You have the key; so, as l
could not open the door, I was rub
bing my bread against it, as could
not get to the bottle Cannot you go
without cheese one day, you luxurious
little rascal? You'll never be rlch.
And the angry miser kicked the poor
boy for not having been able to deny
himself the ideal qualification.

II Was In North Carolina, ana
Shakespeare Had Money In the
Venture.
General interest Is manifested In
North Carolina over the approaching
celebration of the settlement of Rianoke
Island by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1854.
The celebration committee In whose
hands the work of preparing for the
event has BEEN placed by the governor
of the state, met on Thursday, July "a
1902, at Manteo. N. c., where they ar
ranged a number of the preliminary de-
tails for the event, among other Things
deciding on the summer Of 1905 as the
time for holding the celebration.
All that remains of the colony plant
ed by Raleigh on Roanoke Island are
the traces of the old fort built by the
colonists and now owned by one OF the
North Carolina historical societies.
whose members have erected four gran
ite posts at the different angles, so that
visitors may discern its outlines IN the
thick grass and live oak timber. II
was on this little island that the first
English colonists set foot, before the
discovery of Australia, and at a time
when Canada and South Africa were
known only on the statements of GER
tian daring mariners. Here 1t was that
the first English colonists inaugurated
the era Of Anglo-Saxon colonization;
here where they built their dwellings,
sowed their crops, and performed their
religious devotions; in short, the open
ing act and first scene of the drama OF

dizement. Upon the soil of Roanoke
landed the first English women who
crossed the ocean to find homes in the
newly discovered world beyond the seas
and here also was born the first Eng
lish child who saw the light Of day in
the New World.
Yet this attempt at English coloni-
zation was not a success. At the meet
ing Of the celebration committee one Of
the speakers produced a curious memo
rial of this failure. Rambling recently
through the extensive library Of Capt.
William Day, Of Raleigh, N. c.. his at
tention was attracted by the title Of a
very old book entitled, 1.-THE Insom-
MIA of Shakespeare and the Cause
Thereof" in which he found the follow
ing letter from the favorite Of Queen
Elizabeth to William Shakespeare,
dated at 1.-THE Mermaid" the memora-
BILE tavern where the literati of Lon
don met in the halycon days Of English
literature, March 20, 1909:
ITO William Shakespeare:
Full we'll do I know, my dearest
Will, that often thou hast wondered at
the fate of thy ESQ which, with hun
dred times as much Of mine own, was
adventured to found an empire in Amer
lea. Great were our hopes, both Of
glory and Of gold, in the kindness of
Powhatan. But it grieves me much to
say that all hath resulted in infelicity
and an unhappy end. Our ships were
wrecked or captured by the knavish
Spaniards. Our brave sailors all per-
ished. AS I was blameworthy for thy
risk I send by the messenger your ESQ,
which you shall not lose by my over
hopeful vision. I send a package Of
new herb from the Chesapeake; called
by the natives tobacco. Make 1t not
into tea, as did one Of my kinsmen, but
kindle and smoke it in the little tube
the messenger will bestow. Be not de-
tered if thy gorge at first arises
against it, for when thou are wonted 1t
is a balm for all sorrows and beam OF
Paradise. e."-Washington Post.

SYNoPsIs.-Prince Neslerov wants to
marry Frances Gordon, the charming
daughter of an American who is build
ing the Transsiberian railroad. Frances
is interested in the fortunes Of Vladi-
mir Paulpoff, stalwart Russian black
smith. She asks-Neslerov to use his in
fluence for vladimir. Neslerov goes to
Vladimirs hut. The blacksmith has
talent and shows Neslerov a picture he
has painted. It is the portrait of a wo-
man Of rank copied from a miniature.
The prince is excited and asks for the
original. Vladimir's father says it has
ben lost. To Vladimer old Paulpof
confesses that he lied to Neslerov and
still has the miniature.

on earth but few years, having been
born as recently as 1882. he has done
several startling things and brought
upon himself the displeasure OF his
father on numerous occasions. His ex-
lie on a German warship after he had
plunged heavily into debt by exceeding
his allowance by several thousand dol
lars and ardently counting Miss Dea-
con. an especial protege of the Duchess
of Marlborough, is one evidence OF this.
The official excuse for the princes mys-
FERROUS trip is that he is in ill-health,
but the wagging tongues refuse to ac-
cept this statement. They attribute his
exile to extravaganza and a woman.
The Kaiser was furious over his sons
entang clement with the young woman.
and was enra ged over the debts he had
contracted.
The Crown Prince met the beautiful
Miss Deacon in London only a short
time ago and became desperately smit-
ten with her. On leaving the English
metropolis he presented her with dia
mond ring. and all London was talk
ing about the affair. Soon after the re-
turn of the prince to Berlin rumor has
it that he wrote a formal proposal to
the young woman. The Eaiser is unal-
terably opposed to morganatie mar
riages, and when the news of his sons
indiscretion reached his ears and he
learned that the beautiful Miss Deacon
was about to visit Berlin he straight
way sent the prince to sea.
This is not all the young man did to
offend the Kaiser. Unlike other mem
bers of the Hohenzollern, family, the
Crown Prince is somewhat of spend
thrift, and although but 20 years of
age is heavily in debt. His allowance
from the emperor is entirely made
quate to the demands of a young man
with extravagant tastes and the Crown
Prince did the natural thing and bor-
rowed. At the time of his mysterious
embarkation on a German warship it
was said he was involved to the amount
of $4,000.
1t is all of these circumstances

Russian Mining Law.

The mining law in force in the Rus
sian empire has as its Fundamental
principle the tenet that mineral wealth
is movable property, and bears 10 re.
lation to the estate on which it is
found. The right of the operator to
hold the ground ceases when he shall
have exhausted the mineral resources
therein contained. In other words, the
tenure is practically perpetual lease
from the government-thati is, absolute
title is guaranteed so long as the small
annual taxes are paid. The provision
that the tenure is good until the min
eral is exhausted is explained by the
fact that until recently almost all the
gold mining of Russia and Siberia was
placer mining. and that when the
gravel had once been worked over, II
was intended that the operator should
not stand in the way of further devel-
opment.-Engineerin Magazine.

Gossips are finding pleasing occupa-
ton in discussing the motive which
prompted Emperor William to send his
brother as his special emissary to this
country, instead of selecting his eldest
SON. the Crown Prince. There are some
who declare that it was fear OF the
bewitchery of the American girl and
the Kaisers knowledge of certain
weaknesses of his son along this line
that caused him to overlook the
young man when it came to selecting
a special representative to the United
States.
The Crown Prince was the logical
one to perform this mission for his i'm
perial majesty, and the fact that he
was not delegated to represent his
father in America has given rise to
the impression that the Kaiser has not
forgotten certain firtations and threat
ened matrimonial affairs in which his
eldest son was involved not so long
ago
Emperor William is always credited
with being wide awake, not only in an
official capacity but on affairs connect
ed with his immediate family as well
He has heard many things about the
American girl and her charms. He
knew, too. of the sentimental tempera-
ment of the successor to his crown,
and, putting two and two together,
some of the Berlin gossips have it that
he considered the young man safer at
home in the pursuit of his studies than
touring the United States, where he
would be subject to the wiles of the
American girl.
Last year during the stay of the
Crown Prince on the Rhine he met sew
eral American girls. They made fiery
impression on him, and this following
SO closely upon the titled youngsters
affair" with Miss Gladys Parker-Dea-
con, the American beauty, led to the
fear that the Crown Prince could not
be trusted and was therefore not con-
sidered in connection with the official
visit to the United States.
Although the Crown Prince has been

Where Artists Differ.

Harry Levy is responsible for this.
The story, as told by MIR. Levy, is that
recently one of the great singers was
crossing the ocean on his way to this
country and went to the barber shop
on the steamboat toindulge in the lux
ury of shave. The barber was a
dapper little Englishman with a Cock
uey accent, and Immediately struck up
a conversation with the great singer.
