The Royal Palace-Winter.

The torches almost went out when they
bore the dead king from the house. The
loud prayers of the priests were inaudible in
the roar of the storm. On the strand lay
great black boat, decked with black cloth
that hung over the sides into the water.
In the middle stood the catafalque and
around 1t stood burning torches of pitch.
In the bows an altar with high crucifx
had been erected.
The dignitaries of the church stepped
aboard and surrounded the altar, praying.
1 stood at the right of the coffin.
The pitch famed high into the air and the
black waves ran red in their fire. They
rolled Kissing at us, broke over the sides
and sprinkled the royal coffin to which 1
had to hold in order not to fall.
1 thought that it would be the fitting last
act of a tragedy If the kings ship were to
sink in this night of storm, with me, to
whom the dead man had said that was his
dear son, his true heir, kingly son whom
he blessed.
When the boat arrived at the other shore
| a silent crowd awaited us. Men with
torches formed lines through which we
| moved. All the bells were tolling. Through
the whole kingdom there seemed to be one
| boom OF bells. All the iron voices of the
land called to heaven for mercy for the
dead. In all churches there arose prayers.
Did they arise from the hearts of the peo-
pie, too?
The whole night long, the whole day long,
my fathers dead majesty passed through
his land, and no other voice sounded except
the voices of the bells. In the evening
the funeral train entered the capital.
Here there waited solemn Populations, as
| if the king were still alive and ready to re-
ceive here there waited thousands and
more thousands of silent ones; here the
voices of the bells grew into a roaring, as
/ If the very air had turned to sound to as
| cend toward heaven. But 1 knew; not a
single. stammering prayer from the heart
| of the people.
And 1 saw with my own eyes that the
peoples glance was for me; felt it in my
| heart that the peoples heart beat toward
| mine. that the nation loves me. believes in
me; that the whole nation would be joyous
| If l were my fathers eldest son and were
| to become it's king.
For me there would arise prayers from
| the people, roaring like the bells that tolled
| for the dead. And as followed him to the
grave l had to think constantly: 1.-THE ma
ton loves you. The nation crowns you

The king is dead. Long live the king!

PARIS, September 10, 1903.
Mother Lenormand is a strange old wo-
man. She lives in an ancient house that
leans worse than the Tower of Pisa. over a
side street north of Notre Dame Cathedral.
You ring. The door opens of itself. You
mount one flight. and no one lives there.
The apartment is empty. A small, pale
faced boy, however, comes and takes you
by the hand without word.
The silent, pale boy leads you up another
flight. The door opens. He takes You to
the smallest room you ever saw. 1 learned
afterward that there are a dozen such
small waiting rooms. No two clients ever
wait in each others presence. And there
you wait for the most celebrated of the
straight" old-fashioned fortune tellers of
Europe to send for you.
1 have had a heart-to-heart talk with
her. The first thing 1 asked her was why
the floor below happened to be empty.

Closes Them Up.

Ashland News: The Washburn
au liberties have at last awakened to
a realization OF the situation regard
ing gambling in that city. The
various newspaper comments, par
ticularly the vigorous article of The
TIMES, stirred up the sentiment, and
the order OF the towI board to the
police that they must do their duty
and suppress gambling in that town
has accomplished its result. On
Friday night the town police visited
ali the saloons where any gambling
was being conducted, and the notice
was left that any form of gambling
there must cease at once. The
proprietors of the gambling houses
realized that the order was to be en-
forced, and Friday night was busy
night for them getting s'ot
machines and other gambling para
phernalia out of their rooms and
stored away where it would not
prove temptation to their patrons.
The Washburn authorities say that
this order is not for day, nor for a
VI eek, but is for all time, and that
vigorous prosecutions and severe
penalties will follow any person who
violates it in the future.

The Ashland Road.

The Chequamegon Critic takes a
very sensible view of the Ashland
Washburn road controversy, and
lays most Of the, blame for abandon
menu of the bridge route upon the
Ashland people. The last issue of
the Critic contained the following:
The WashDurn board turned down
the old road proposition last Tues
day, but the petitioners have not
given up all hope yet that there may
be something done for their relief.
The flooding of the new road is an
|oDject lesson as to what inconven-
fence those people will have to con-
tend with who wish to drive to
Washburn from Ashland, or vice
versa. II the new road is flooded
now what will it be in the spring
time? From all we are able to learn
the new road proposition is imprac-
ticable and something must be done
to relieve the farmers who live along
the road. The new dynamite fac
tory alone will cause considerab e
travel along the road that will oe
passable to Ashland and this city
cannot afford to be without good
road rround the head of the ay.
1t is unreasonable to say that the
Washburn authorities have planned
to shut off travel to this city, be-
cause it is known that they have
spent $1,000 IN building the new
road to the Ashland county line
and before they undertook to build
the new road the whole matter was
laid before the county board and the
matter was gone over quite
thoroughly by our supervisors, al d
it was agreed that the new ROAD
would be the best way out OF til.

personal effort had been dis pla yed i.
this matter that is evident at this
time there is no doubt but that tie
old road around the head of the bay
could have been put 10 good condi-
ton. II is not likely that the Wash
burn authorities can shoulder the
whole burden of constructing a
bridge in place of the old one after
