 The verses are as follows: We read of many queens of earth, Who won the hearts of nations, Women of great and noble birth, With mighty trophies in their girth, Toasted with Kings potations-- Elizabeth, the virgin queen,
 Victoria in her palace queen uncrowned we toast today, A star of pure benignant ray,
 The rare and queenly Alice. woman sweet, exalted, great This evening claims attention. For twenty years a faithful mate, And now first lady of the State,
 
 A thousand toasts be drunk to her, A loving cup the chalice, To all the land a jewel dear. To us she gleams like kindred near, Our own heart-treasured Alice! We praise her for her worth and truth, Her gentle disposition, Her heart so kind and full of ruth. Pride of the husband of her youth, To love. her one ambition. The kindly virtues in her glow. A stranger she to malice; Her soul as white as driven snow, May gentlest breezes ever blow, Upon the cheek of Alice! Her charming daughters model, fair bud upon her bosom, An. who can tell the mothers care As like the rose that scents the air, That bud begins to blossom? We hail her in her mansion sweet. Her Alabama palace; And as her guests all come to greet, And lay their offerings at their feet, The loved of all is Alice!

A Knot for King Solomon.

If the wise King Solomon could be
again invested with his robes Of state
and be permitted to hear evidence and
render judgment in certain vexatious
cases which puzzle modern solons from
time to time, he, too, might find his
proverbial wisdom put to a severe test.
The latest in the line Of freak cases is
one reported from Europe. A rich
banker died in Warsaw recently, and
in his will stipulated that his fortune
should go to the first of his three nieces
who should marry. Each one Of the
blooming damsels promptly set out in
quest Of a husband. Several days later
each returned, and that is whIe the
real trouble began for the judges; for
CHI had a certificate from a notary
affirming that she had been married at
a certain hour that morning, and all
three ceremonies were performed at
the same moment of time.

diamond stud, or headlight" as he
called it, which was feloniously Gift
ed" from his shirt front by pickpock-
cts on a Grand street car recently,
says the New York World.
"That spark" said Tim sadly, "was
corker and no mistake It made
friends for me wherever l went and,
what's more, pushed me to the front
on every great and festive occasion.
''The spark had history to be proud
of. I wore it on state occasions and
whenever I went to high and inf1u-
entail dignitary Of the United States
government to obtain a soft snap for
one Of nay political constituents. I
was a member Of Washington society
when 1 was a representative in Con-
gress and I would also wear the spark
on those most suspicious occasions.
1.-THE late Speaker Reed" continued
the ex-Congressman, chad great re-
spect and admiration for the gem.
"'Tim,' said Mr.. Reed to me one
day, L want you to do me great IA
vor I want you to wear that diamond
every time you get up in the house to
make one Of your famous speeches.
Certainly, Mr.. Speaker said I; 4
am only too glad to serve you. /
thank you for this compliment
II kept my word to the speaker and
whenever 1 would get up and speak
he would thank me for it.
"'Tim,' he said to me, after 1 COM
pleted my last speech in the House of
Congress, L shall never forget the
happy moments which 1 spent listen
ing to you, which at the same time
afforded me an opportunity to look at
your most magnificent diamond
president Cleveland" continued the
great Tim, 'was also a most enthusi-
astic admirer of my lost gem. Every
time l would go to the White House
to ask a favor Of the President he
would grab me by the hand and look
at the diamond. Knowing that he was
fond Of the diamond l had made it
my business to wear it every time I
went to the White House. I called it
my lucky star because whenever l
wore it 1 was always sure of landing
soft political job for one Of my
friends in the district"

A Plea for Simplicity.

81 pray you, o excellent wife, not to
cumber yourself and me to get rich
dinner for this man CT this woman,
ffiwho has alighted at our gate, nor
bedchamber made ready at too great
cost. These things, if they are curious
in they can get for dollar at-any vii
lage. But let this stranger, If he will,
in your accent and behavior read your
heart and earnestnesS, your thought
and will, which he cannot buy at any
price at any village or city, and dine
sparely and sleep hard in order to be-
hold. Certainly let the board be spread
and let the bed be dressed for the
traveller, but let not the emphasis OF
hospitality be in these things. Honor
to the house where they are simple to
the verge of hardship, so that there the
intellect is awake and reads the laws
Of the universe. Emerson.

Omit Your Whining.

There isn't anything in the world
more disagreeable than a whining per-
son.
He wines if it is hot. He whines
if it is cold. He whines at this, he
whines at that, he whines at every
thing. Whine, whine, whine.
1t is Just q habit he has fallen into.
There is nothing the matter with him.
It is just a bad habit.
The wilmer is generally an idle per-
son or a lazy one. What he needs is
to be set to work. At real hard work,
mental or physical. Some work that
will interest him and engage his whole
attention and he will not have time to
whine.
We know two women. One Of them
does her own Homework and takes
care of her horse besides. She is hap
py and singing all the day long. The
keyboard of her life sounds no whin-
ing note. 1t is a pleasure to be with
her, a good, wholesome tonic to watch
her.
The other woman is SO situated that
she does not have to work. Nothing
to do but to amuse herself. She has
no zest in life, no interest in anything.
She is a bunch Of selfishness and
whines at everything. Whining has
become such habit with her that her
most casual remark is tinged with a
whine. She is miserable herself and
makes everybody else in her presence
misegable. She is weakling, para
