QUEEN ELENA A CRACK SHOT.
NO Afontenegrin lives who does not love
climbing and who cannot shoot. The last
time the Queen, as Princess OF Naples,
was In her own country she announced
her intention of revisiting on foot the
mountains about Cettinje. Her Italian
ladies in waiting glanced at each other
in CONSERVATION, and all, with one ex-
ception, begged to be excused, the request
being ood-naturedly granted. One, how
ever, young and lovely, being ambitious
for the favor of her mistress, determined
to brave all and go. The next morning at

been carefully pinned up She had scent
bottle in hand and wore high-heeled, thin
kid slippers. The Princess took in this
vision and remarked smilingly that she
locked pale; that evidently she was not
feeling wei! and had better not undertake
SO arduous a climb. The hint was ac
cepted and the beauty stayed behind. She
lost nothing, Is she has since been prime
favorite, and often laughs over the Incl

Orthodox Hard to Find,

A Scotch elder. who did not believe
that his own minister held strictly
orthodox views, wished to have his
babe baptized. but would not risk it's
spiritual welfare by having him per-
form til" rite in any heterodox manner.
So he walked to another town only to
find the minister he sought was away
fishing. The next one he was directed
to had gone hunting. Filled with In
dignation he said to his companions:
"We'll gang to Master Erskine.
That godly man will no he fishing or
hunting"
So he found the house, but as he al.
proached 1t he heard the sound Of nu
sic. When the servant lassie opened
the door. he remarked to her:
"Ye have company the night. hear
the fiddle going =
ma, ma" she answered, blushing.
''Robin could ma play like you. but the
minister aye fiddles a bit afore he goes
to bed
The good man went away without
making his errand known. No minis
ter who played the fiddle could baptize
his BARN, so he went back to his own,
who neither fished. hunted nor played
forbidden music, and let him name the
child.

six or seven of the oldest employees, in

if necessary, and insure a continuance
of the success that has all along
marked the business.
Mr.. Porter conducts the largest

understood, will hereafter concern him
self chiefly with the affairs Of the

readily granted and the disappointed

that no blame could be attached for
commission or omission.
