woman the new photograph, published

talented and sweet-tempered. She has
been extremely pretty, although of late
years the unhappiness of her MI -
has told in her majesty's face. The
Queen of the Belgians. wife of Leopold
II, was married in 1853. Her father was
the Archduke Joseph OF Austria, and her
reat-grandmother was the Empress
Maria Theresa.
Everyone knows what generous sor-
row the Queens children have brought
her. Her son died in early youth: her
eldest daughter, Louise. subject of one
of the greatest scandals that ever star
tied Europe, is dragging out her life in
the insane asylum; Stephanie married
Crown Prince Rudolph Of Austria. whose
fate made one of the blackest pages in
the history of our time. Princess Glenn
entine, the youngest child Of Belgium's s
royal house, is the one remaining COM
fort to her mother in this hour of her
probably last illness. Clementine,
alarmed by the experiences of her sis
ters, VOWS she will never marry. The

parts. Then, one day, Race received a
letter from the postal authorities at
Washington calling his attention rather
brusQuely to the fact that there had
been a falling off in the receipts OF his
office. 1t was then he decided TO boom
the sale OF stamps. 1t would serve a
double purpose-increase his salary and
please the postal authorities.
When they arrived he made a trip to
Omaha to purchase goods with which TO
replenish his stock of general merchan-
disc, which shared the same room as his
postofIlce. He paid for the goods with
postage stamps.
A few weeks later he repeated the
operation, ard after the lapse Of another
fortnight again repeated it. The result
was that in six months his office was ad-
vanced to the third class. and his pay
was increased from $40 month 10 S65 a
month.
Even then he was not discouraged in
well doing, but made payment on a
farm. all in two-cent postage stamps.
The remainder of the story was told in
the nature of a confession by Race to
District Attorney Summers, of Omaha. A
more detailed account, however, is given
by Inspector Sinclair. whose version is as
follows:
After Bazee had been postmaster
about a year he felt in love with a
young woman of about eighteen named
Tillie Hartwell. She did not recipro-
cate his affection, however. and try as
he could he failed to elicit an affirma
tive answer to his proposals OF mar
riage. He then hit upon a scheme that
was as ingenious as his plan for rails
ing the grade of his postofiice. He rep
resented to Tillie that he was very rich
that he was in the last stages of con-
sumption, that he was bachelor. with
out kith or kin to whom to leave his
estate, that he loved her and wanted
to make her his heir.
"In response to a message from him.
she went to his house one day and found
him in bed, apparently i'll and in
very bad way.

live he assured her. What do you
think of my PROPOSAL?
"Tillie contemplated his broad acres,

him. When he told her he owned a
half interest in the farm across the
road she felt that she almost loved
him. She said. All right bul when he
insisted on the wedding being that night
she demurred. His pulse still seemed
strong. Hasty marriages were in bad
taste; she would wait a week.
That night the old man thought out
a plan to have the nuptials celebrated
within twenty-four hours. He got a
little rubber bag of soft. thin material
and filled il with beet Juice.
The next day he sent another HESS
age TO Tillie. this time saying that he
was dying and TO come at once and
bring a minister. She obeyed When
he heard footsteps approaching he put
the bag of beet juice in his mouth, bit
one corner of 1t and began to cough
convuisiyely.
When the preacher and Tillie saw the
beet juice they became alarmed, having
heard that hemorrhages frequently pre-
cede death in such maladies, so sent for
a neighbor to hold Race in a sitting
posture during the ceremony. Mean
while the beet juice was holding out
admirably.
THE next day Race was behind the
the counter of his store, showing his
bride how to distribute the mail
But they didn't live together long
enough for Tillie to more than learn the
location of the A box. for she left him
in four days. and year later they were
divorced
Asked why it was necessary for him
to buy so many stamps. he answered:
81 was robbed of stamps twice in few
months. and l had to buy fresh stamps
in order TO accommodate my customers.
The first time l was robbed of 5000

the American taste is on the whole

preference of Charles Frohman. Mr.
Frohman dimes every night in the grill
room, often with Mr.. Grau. and usually
lunches there. He demands Irish stew,
and when he gets tired of Irish stew
he eats Scotch stew, which is nothing
but Irish stew with barley in it. The

TO eat a whole iced. melon and whole
