Crabbedness and "Nerves."
From Harper's Bazaar,

1 cannot understand deliberate unhappi-
ness. I never was a believer in the theory
that pain is good for you, therefore bear it
patiently" believe in making fuss about
it that will bring the doctor and the neigh
bors; and in getting rid Of it by something
vehement in the mustard-pla ster line And
as to staying where you are uncomfortable?
I would a thousand times rather fly to the
perils that I know not Of than to bear the
in the world for all women, there is at least
less discomfort somewhere else than where
you are, so go and hunt for it. If she can
walk, crawl or steal ride from set of
environments which have bad effect on
her nerves, I am in favor of womans
goings Temper? Not half the crabbedness
in this world is temper. 1t is mostly nerves
and nerves may be soothed if not cured.
To tell the truth, have the grea test SYM
pathy for most so-called crabbedness. and
so far from taking high and mighty stand
and preaching against it, or being so con-
ceited as to advise prayer and fasting to
overcome it, I feel vastly more like taking
the Grabbed one to my heart and saying:
Don't try to cruelty yourself with self
control before me. Talk to your hearts
content about whatever worries you. I'm
in sympathy with you." For most Grabbed
ness in old maids; is generally case Of the
neighbors' children orstheir ROSTERS. Per
sonally prefer ROSTERS.
Old maids old bachelors, brides and
grooms, and even4peopie with children gen.
orally hate the neighbqrs' children, and are
called Grabbed BECAUSE, they complain. But
1t is not disappoin tment in love which
makes a nervous woman hate noise. And
most children are so versatile.

queen regent in her terror; and the exciteu
arguments Of her prime minister had no
more effect than waves splashing upon
rock-bound coast.
The prime minister had to address ms
arguments to the prince himself, ana IN
him he found firm ally. AS he would not

He would have hurried off without even
saying goodbye to the princess, had she
not sent for him while the horses were be-
ing put into the carriage, AS 1t was, ne
was still proud and stiff with her, though
he found her crying.
Goodbye, princess" he said Some
day, I trust, you will think better of me.

"Of course, you're not coward. l never

"of course, I forgive you. OF course I
understand. Goode-bye."
He took her hand, which was wet and
warm with a. tear drop, bowed over 1t and
kissed it tremendously. She looked at him
with shining eyes, as if appealing to him
to say something more. His answering
look implied that the first word must come
from her But while they waited there
were voices calling:
"Quck, please. The carriage and the es-

and withdrew; while the princess just
threw herself into chair and cried hys-
terically. and then ran upstairs and gazed
out Of her open window, as though to
watch her suitor's perilous progress through
the city.
She saw the flashing helmets and the re-
splendent uniforms of the mounted escort,
leading, thanking and following the car
riage, cross the great courtyard and pass
out through the gate. She heard the clat-
ter of the horses hoofs upon the stones.

THE GREAT BUsTARD.
England's Big Bird in Process Of Elk
tinction.

From the London Globe.
Referring to the recent conviction for kill
ing great bustard In Norfolk, H. B. F., y
writing in Country Sport, remarks that
the bird formerly occupied far more I'M
portant position in the British game list
than, unfortunately, it can be said to do at
the present time. During the Georgian
epoch the bustard roamed at large over
certain wild tracts in England, notably
those elevated lands known as the York
shire wolds and the downs of Wiltshire,
Dorsetshre and perhaps also of other
southern counties, Other favorite abodes- of
the bustard being part of the counties OF
Norfolk and Suffolk. But there, as else
where throughout, the country, the com
mencement Of the Victorian era marked
the total extingutshment Of this native
race of bustards.
Formerly bustards must have been toll
erably plentiful indn1ary places throughout
the country, and even beyond the confines
of England, for, according to one of the
early writer's, Hector Boethus, they were
resident upon the fiat land between the
Lammermurs and the Tweed in the year
1926. The bustards proneness to forsake
it's eggs had attracted attention in those
times for Boethius remarked, In the quaint
language of the period: Such also is their
quaitie that if they perceive their egges to
have bene, touched in theyr absence by
mans hand (Which lie commonly on the
bare earth) they forsake those nestes and
lay in other places" AS far back as 1884
it was found advisable to afford the bus
tard some protection, and by the passing
of an ''act for the protection of wild fowle'
(25th Henry Wild the taking of the eggs
Of this bird was prohibited. the maximum
penalty attached to such misdemeanor be-
ing pod. for every egg. But of course, 1t
is one thing to pass acts of the sort and
quite another thing to enforce them. Had
it been possible to have compelled thor
ough obedience to the provisions Of this
early protective measure the sportsmen of
today might not now be regretting the
| passing away of the bustard. This act of
Henry VIII, If not at first dead letter.
probably soon afterward came to be little
recognized, for later accounts state that
bustards eggs were regularly gathered
and Matched out under hens. Toward the
end of the eighteenth century these eggs
| had high marketable value, being readily
| sold at half a guinea each. This Is easily
| understood when we learn that the young
birds, long before arriving at full growth
were disposed of for as much as 10 guinea g
and, in some instances, II guineas, per
pair,

found when the time came to marry her

her foot petuiantly. You can't make me.
You know you can't. If you try to I'll
scream right in the middle of the wedding.
1t was a thing she quite capable
of doing unless she was carefully managed,
so the quent regent had to explain the rea-
sons why the marriage was deemed neces-
sary. The bridegroom elect was of the
family of the pretender to her little broth
er's throne. To unite the two families by
marriage was the only means of staving off
q certain civil war and a very possible
revolution.
Then know l shall hate him. said the
princess. at is my duty to hate him. His
father fought against and killed my
countrymen."

killed were of no particular Importance,

The Kaiser's Talismanic Ring.
From the Westminster Gazette.

AS becomes a strue Hohenzollern, the
kaiser always wears the talismanic ring OF
his ancestors. It is quaint old ring set
with a stone of no intrinsic value. Legend
relates how a toad hoped into the room
of the wife Of Elector John Of Brandenburg
and deposited a stone on her bed. The
toad then mysteriousiy disappeared. but the
pebble was zealously treasured in the
HohenzolIern archives. The father Of Fred
erick the Great had it mounted in ring
and this has ever since been worn by the
head Of the house. In contrast to this
medieval mascot is the fact that the Ger
man emperor in addition always carries a
revolver.

"elevate" the children OF the Ghetto?"

Of high moral living? Why do they
not devote their talents and powers to
the uplifting of their own people in
