SAXONY'S ECCENTRIC KING.
Interesting Stories Are Told of tn 4
Peculiar Habits of the Former
ruler,

The newspapers have lately been
full of incident of the life of the de-
ceased king of Saxony, but they are
mostly connected with his public mil
itary career. Of his private life little
is told except that in it's extreme sim
plicity it resembled closely that Of
Emperor William I.
1t is reported that King Albert had
rooted objection to exchanging his
old clothes for new ones, and it was
only with great difficulty that his
groom of the chamber could persuade
him to have a new coat tried on. One
day when he had just undergone the
torment of having clothes tried on,
the king happened to pass through the
famous hall of the knights, in the
Dresden palace. Looking up at the fig
ures of the mail-clad knights, he said,
with a deep sigh: "What a good time
the old knights had in their iron
armor; they were troubled with no
creases."
A retired captain of the Saxony
army, whom everybody knew as being
under his wife's thumb, applied for
permission to wear his old unfit rm
on special occasions. The king wrote
on the margin Of the application: ST
am quite willing, if his wife per-
mits it."

GOOD FOR JEWELERS..
PinE-POng Is Said to Be Hard ON
Watches and the Repairer
VIII Profit,

"Ping-pong is fine game" said a
jeweler, who does lot of repairing,
to Sun man. 'No outdoor or in
door sport has ever given US SO much
to do. 1t is surprising how many
persons have broken their watches
since the game became a fad, says
the New York Sun.
"You see, people play the game
without removing their coats or
waistcoats. In the excitement they
forget about their watches, and the
first thing a man knows his time
piece bounds out of his pocket.
Sometimes it strikes the table, but
wherever it does fall the watch is
damaged.
THAT is not all. A player may tie
his watch to his pocket, but still it
gets out of gear. The constant jump
ing around and the swinging of the
arms disturbs the works so the watch
has to be brought to us to be regu-
lated.
II have had as many women's
watches as mems to repair. The
women are even more careless than
the men. Their watches dangle from
their shirt waists, and as result
the watch jumps around like wealth
ercock in gale of wind.
Surprising as it may seem, my in.
come from repairing watches has al
most tripled since the craze of ping.
pong began"

The Shah's Wives.

The shah of Persia is the possessor
of 60 wives and 80 children, quite a
small household when we remember
that the late shah had over 1,70O wives
and nearly 200 sons and daughters!
When the shah's wives go out for a
drive the loyal subjects of his majesty
do not throng the streets to welcome
them, as would be the case in a Eu-
ropean country. A band of running
footmen precede the royal carriage.
crying out: "Run and hide your
selves!" and on receipt of this hint,

street to avoid the crime of high trea-
son by looking on the royal ladies

iahment is avoided by turning the face

A FAIRY TALE OF INDUSTRY.
Interesting Facts About the Great
Transformation Scene to
SauIt Ste. Marie.

Few people have any notion of the
stupendous operations going on at
SauIt Ste. Marie, the little Canadian
village on the shores of Lake Supe-
rior, where an industrial center of
enormous magnitude is now being
created by the energies Of one man.
"Harnessing Lake Superior" is the
title Of an article in Pearson's, which
gives this remarkable story: Give
years ago the sleepy little Canadian
town of Sault Ste. Marie numbered
$500 inha bitants. Past it's doors the
surplus waters of Lake Superior,
mightiest Of inland oceans, emptied
into Lake Huron. Untold millions of
horse power energy lay latent in
their idly flowing eddies, but only
the slow-turning wheels of a few old
-four mills stood to mark their com.
mercial usefulness, while but an &C.
casional steamer or paddle pro-
PEELED canoe disturbed the tranquil
surface. Almost as in q night a
metamorphosis has taken place.
"Where once was scattered group
Of village dwellings,, great stone
buildings, with towers and shafts
and connecting passageways, now
stand, and at their base deep-dug
canals wind in and out, spanned by
bridges of massive stone. Nine thou
sand workmen now earn their iv-
ings in the shops at Sault Ste. Marie,
beside the site where five years ago
the total population was but quar-
ter OF that number. It is a truly
wonderful story, this story of the
growth Of the little frontier town
into great industrial centre; and
its story is the history of the career
Of one man-Francis III. Clergue."

KANSAS WOULD

Topeka, July BE S. Ashbaugh
and Senator +. ID. Smith. Kansas attor-
reys in the irrigation suit against Colo
RADIO to enjoin that state from the use
of the waters of the Arkansas river, are
in Denver trying to compromise the
suit. If their negotiations fail. they
will use the information they gain in
filing new bill of particulars in the
United States Supreme Court.
Through an agreement made some
time ago, no attempt is made to hinder
the Kansas representatives from OBJ
tanning information in their suit. A
similar courtesy is extended to Colo
rado attorneys in Kansas.
Both Mr.. Ashbaugh and Mr.. Smith
are inclined to the opinion that the
water suit should be compromised. Mr.
Smith is out there for the purpose of
seeing what can be done in regard to
building irrigation reservoirs. 1t is pos
sible that the Supreme Court may hold
tnat such reservoirs should be built, as
means Of compromising the pending
litigation.
