had really chosen with great discrim-
nation. The price startled him con-
siderably, but he wasn't going to say
so. "I've just paid good round sum
for that cultivator, and l wont kick
at this"
He carefully placed the bonnet-box
under the wagon seat as he rode
home that night. To tell the truth,
he exceedingly dreaded the presenta-
ton. Susan wasn't accustomed to
this sort of thing, like Sans wife,
and he didn't know how she'd take
it. But in spite of these forebodings,
there was pleasurable excitement
in the unusual sensation that he was
taking home a present to his wife.

what's the difference?)
He didn't produce the bonnet as
soon as he got home. He waited till
after supper when the chores We're
all done. Then he sat down by the
table and began to read the weekly

poor Dave appeared helplessly dazed
:'Why-why she's got light hair,

Concerning the emperor's demands
Archduke Leopold said:
1.-THE emperor of Australia wrote to me
a few days ago to inform ME ~ that he
had struck my name from the roll Of
knights of the Golden Fleece, and had
stopped my annual allowance of 1900
kronen, (2) that he had expelled me from
the army, (3) that l am forbidden ever to
return to Austria, and az that he formally
authorizes me to become naturaEZed SUBJ
ject Of another sovereign; which means
that he consents to my remuneration Of
my title of archduke. All this delights me,

shortly marry Fraulein Adamovics. She
has never been a singer or an actress or
anything of the kind. People have mis-
taken her for her sister. She exercises no
profession and studies art for her amuse-
ment only
Mention of the Hapsburg family, of
Austria, brings to mind the recent
tragic death of Grown Prince Rudolph
and the love affair of his fiancee,
Princess StephaIlie of Belgium, who,
against the Will of her family, married
Count Lonyay, a hungarian nobleman.
The anger of King Leopold over this
match was recently brought forcibly
to public attention by his refusal to al
low Stephanie to attend the funeral of
her mother, Queen Henrietta. Never
theless, it is now declared hat Princess
Stephanie, or rather Countess Lonyay,
as she is now called, has inherited the
/ jewels OF her mother, who forgaye her
before she died. 1t has been frequent
ly asserted that she has separated
from her husband, Count Lonyay, but
this is denied. 1t is said that the count
has a pretty hard time Of it owing to
his wifes eXactions and temper. He
is out of health, is devoted to her and
altogether is completely in subsection
to her; hence there is no likelihood
that divorce will be asked for.
AS for Countess Stephanie's father,
King Leopold, there have always been
scandals connected with him, and
there is little news in them. Queen
Henrietta's life was made miserable
by his wild escapades. Frequently, it
is asserted, he brought his mistresses

diron, it seems, has been keeping, a
diary since the beginning of his ro-
mantle episode with the crown
princess, and portions of it, so it is
claimed, have been made public in
Paris.
Prof. Giron says that after travelling
in Italy and Switzerland he had come
by chance to the Saxon capital. Hav-
ing then recently refused a legacy, it
was necessary for him to find employ
ment, and he was finally offered
position in the Saxon court His pupils
were the two children of the crown
prince. For teaching them French
and mathematics he received large
salary and the privilege of dining with
the crown prince and his beautiful and
intelligent wife, the crown princess.
The latter took an interest in the les
sons given by Prof. Giron, and was
often present while he instructed her
children. This was last winter. When
summer came, and the royal family
went into a summer home at Wach-
mitz, the relations between the crown
! princess and the French professor be-
came more intimate. The crown
princess had an unhappy home life.
She had married the crown prince,
| who is described as a coarse and mar
/ row-minded man, on the orders of

that resulted is said to have been re-
sponsible for her lack of conscience
as to her relations with Prof. Giron.
The mistress of the robes in the
crown princess establishment was the
| first to discover the nature of those
relations. She Immediately advised
Prof. Giron to leave the city, in order
to prevent scandal and declared she
would inform the king if he did not
GO. Prof. Giron then departed. and
the crown princess soon left Dresden
for Salzburg. At this point bit of
Prof. Gircn's ingenious diary comes

Austria. her Drother), who arrived at the

Sam was wrong; he didn't know.
The words haunted him-haunted
him all day. Went with him to the
various places where he had business
to transact; kept him company at
the restaurant when he ate his din
ner. Much to his surprise (and an
noyance), he found himself doing
some thinking in an entirely new
line.
AS far as he could remember-and
his memory was eXcellent-he had
never bought present for Susan. OF
course, she had the egg and butter
money every week; but it suddenly
occurred to him that it was general

dren.

But that was easier said than done.

'T dals of European royalty
- as have lately been printed.
Accounts Of these affairs have been
given important space in European
newspapers, which have We'd with each
other in printing every possible de-
tail of the royal episodes. A glance at
almost any recent metropolitan daily
in America also will reveal the fact
that any story about royalty, good,
bad or Indifferent, is News with
big n.
Saxony and Austria are now repre-
scented in the center of the stage OF no
toriety, the former by its crown prince
and princess, and the latter by one OF
its archdukes, Leopold Ferdinand. Old
King Leopold of Belgium may be seen
lodging in and out among the flies
with the apparent intent of marrying
himself to King Alfonso's young sister.
Even Princess Victoria of England is
said to be waiting her cue, and may
soon appear as the infatuated sweet
heart of the son of the English colonial
secretary, Joseph Chamberlain. King
Edward is in his dressing-room, prac-
ticing his sternest expressions and
mumbling over his words of con-
demnaton. There are enough other
royal figures scattered about, some of
whom have done their turns, and 9th
ers of whom are now cutting minor
caners to give an idea of the magnitude
of the performance, which is contin-
uous vaudeville, with all the world for
spectators.
BY the terms of the decree of divorce
between the crown princess of Saxony
and her husband, which the court, it
is expected, will soon formally grant,
the crown princess agrees to abandon

Dave gave an embarrassed laugh
and retired behind the paper again.

'Bless the man. does he think I'd

compelled her to entertain them in a
sumptuous manner. Now he is chiefly
interesting to newsgatherers because
of his reported desire to marry In
fanta Maria Theresa, young sister of
King Alfonso of Spain, in order that
he may have an heir and thus defeat
the house of Flanders, which is waiting
to place Prince Albert, his nephew, on
the throne of Belgium.
This marriage, if it occurs, will
unite him with family that has been
rather unjustly 'slandered of late.
That is to say, there is no truth in the
statements scattered abroad by the
Don Carlos faction, that, the queen
mother has been having an affair with
her master of horse, nor is there truth
in any of the similar stories from the
same source. Not that the Spanish
royal family has not had it's scandals.
Gossip tells some pretty bad stories
