KARLCHEN, THE ROBBER
 BARON'S DAUGHTER

mother, and often they wept together | at the wicked pursuits of her father. One day while : the Baron and his | followers rested beneath the trees Karlchen wandered away unobserved. At length she came to a stream of wa | ter and sat wearily on the bank It made her more unhappy every day to know that her father was highway man, who did not stoop at murder to gratify his desire for gain. Waldberg Castle was already filled with the most beautiful things in the world but Karlchen took no delight in such luxury. knowing that it was bought at the price of her fathers honor. Thinking of these things, she wept as she sat beside the water.
 Suddenly her name was spoken aloud:
 "Karlchen! Karlchen. seemed to come from the depths of the stream. Who calls?" answered Karlchen. The water, which had been quite smooth, began to show broadening rip- ples Soon the shining surface parted, and head and two dripping arms ap- peared.
 It was a Nike or Water Fairy, and Karlchen was not afraid when the Nike inquired: Why weep you, KarlcheD ?" but replied at once:
 Because my dear father is a robber baron.''
 "So-o-o-o! exclaimed the water fairy. And what then would you do if I were to promise that hereafter your father robs no more?"
 (You notice that the water fairy did not call it stealing, for even in those days only the common people were call ed thieves, the barons in that profess sion were given the much nicer name of robbers)
 T would do anything in the world that you ask, oh, Nike" promised Karl chen readily, 'If you will cause my father to retire from the highway bus iness.'
 Tt is good" said the Nike, but you must go away so far that the Baron will not be able to find you. At the end of year you will return and see that have kept my word. Take this golden horseshoe. place it upon the hoof of Wiesblume, and he will carry you beyond the sea-"
 Before Karlchen had time to thank her the Nike had sunk beneath the wa ter. but on the bank lay a tiny horse shoe of glistening gold.
 Karlchen found that it attached it- self easily to Weisblumes hoof, and, springing upon his back, they were off, across mountain and river until they came to a far off land, and drew up before a castle in the midst of a valley.
 Karlchen alighted and knocked at the gate. It was opened at once by an old man, who asked why she sought admittance.
 Dear friend" said Karlchen, q would have for my horse and myself

Well" said he to his gentle wife, "at least I have sworn that the child shall be called nothing else but Karl"
 The baby became a beautiful little girl, and was known as Karlchen. One might have forgotten that she bore a boys name had not the old Baron in- sisted that she should appear in the garments of a boy.
 This was ba denough, and the poor lady mother implored her husband to change his mind, but he replied:
 ''No, wife. This is our only child. She will have to fill the place of a son at my side.
 He kept his word, and when Karl chen was old enough she was taught to ride upon snow white horse named Weisblume.
 Her only companions were her father and his knights. Fortunately Karl chen's mother watched over her and taught her to be gentle as any other maiden of her age and station.
 It was strange sight to see the rob- ber Baron ride forth, surrounded by his men in armor, and in the midst of those fierce shining figures Karl chen upon her white horse, her bright curls streaming out behind
 She wore boys suit of the color of uiOWi dulNAAil lNstNSo. IIGT ldIner look ed upon her with pride as she rode beside him, guiding her horse not the less surely. though her hand was no bigger than the great thumb of the Barons gauntlet. To see Karlchen thus one might have believed that she en- loved the sport but if her head was proudly held it was because she would permit no one to know of her grief She was at heart as gentle as her

gone nothing interests me-
 On the day before that set for the marriage Eugen paid farewell visit to the forest.
 ''Ach," he said to himself, "my little Karlchen: how I miss him." He bent over to pick up his horses trailing rein and there, behold at his feet lay a horseshoe of purest goldl
 How came this here?" exclaimed the Prince. He tried 1t against his horso's hoof to see if it would fit. when to his surprise 1t attached itself so tightly that he could not remove 1t.
 Pondering over the strange adven- ture he swung himself into the saddle and turned the horse toward home. when suddenly his horse with a loud neigh sprang away in the opposite di- rection.
 They fairly flew up steep mountain paths and across a great body of wa ter For many hours they travelled so. and then began the ascent of a mountainous incline leading to a cas- tie. Before the gate his horse stopped and Eugen alighted.
 Bright lights shone from the win dows It was evident that a feast was in progress The servants, supposing Eugen to be a guest. led him into the castle hall, where many gayly dressed couples were huBen inquired from a guest where he could find his host
 '"rhe Baron?" was the reply "He dances there In the middle. with his pretty daughter, the Lady Karlchen."
 "Karlchen." repeated Eugen stupidly, !, and looked to see, and then his face be- came of the hue worn by the damsel. l at whom he could but stare mutely.
 Dressed all in white, with pearl | embroidered gown, she held the heavy brocade of her train In dainty hand. | as she courtesied deeply to her father. ] The old baron bowed in courtly return. | and then there arose above the sound | of the music a great cry. The dancers paused in alarm.
 'Karlchen! Karlchen; little friend" cried Eugen. and fell upon his knee 1 before her.
 And I leave you to guess for your self whether Eugen after all married | his cousin. the beautiful Princess Hil- degarde.

about Karlchen's age who sat beside her. Turning once again, she said to the newcomer:
 We seek a servant for my son. Prince Eugen, and we will give you a trial"
 ' T will stay gladly" said Karlchen.
 Karlchen's duties began the next day, She waited upon Prince Eugen, followed him when he went to hunt and read aloud to him when he had tired of other amusement. They soon became the best of friends.
 Many happy days passed thus But one day as Karlchen stood beside the Prince during repast his mother said with q smile:
 Dear Eugen. do you guess who comes soon to visit us? It is thy cous- in. the young Princess Hildegarde, and it will give me great joy if during this visit you persuade her to remain here always"
 Just then Karlchen let fall 9 fagon of wine. When that evening, later, she was polishing Prince Eugens spurs she bethought herself that the year of her exile was nearly at an end, and de- termined to leave the castle early the following morning.
 She carried the spurs to Eugen's room and said:
 Good night, dear Prince. sleep you well,' and he replied: Good night, lit- tie friend. Ach. how should miss you if you were not here to give me even ing greeting!"
 Karlchen went out to the stable and cried softly as she looked over the saddle of Weisblume
 Before daybreak on the morrow Karlchen had taken the golden horse- shoe from her pocket and adjusted it to her horses hoof: then with a last look toward the castle she was gone.
 A great change had taken place in Waldberg Castle after the disappear ance of Karlchen. The old Baron re- fused to be comforted. When, hOwev- CT the days passed and there was still no trace of Karlchen he began to re- pent his sins
 He called his knights together and ! declared that he would rob no more . and he began 10 practice kindness to { all his people.

 It is not so much you ask for, and make you welcome" said the serv- ant
 After seeing that Weisblume was com fortably stabled and fed Karlchen fol- lowed the serving man into the great castle hall5 where a large company was assembled.
 The old man approached a lady who sat at the head of the table. Rowing low he said
 Gracious princess, this youth seeks shelter"
 Come forward" said the lady Where do you come from and where will you go tomorrow T come from a great distance" re- piled Karlchen, and go to seek em- ployment."

Meanwhile in that other castle be- yond the sea Prince Eugen mourned and was disconsolate. His mother. the Princess, was at her wits end to please him.
 At last the beautiful Hildegarde went to visit them. The Princess took Eugen aside and told him that 1t would give her great happiness If he would marry his charming cousin

TO this she consented gladly. but when her father said also You shall no longer be KarIchen, but shall choose maids name" she begged to be al- lowed to retain the old name.

THE POLITICAL CHAPTERS
Would Find Life Not Worth the Liy- ing in Washington if Folk Were President, According to the Ohio Prophet.

Cleveland, Ohio. May 21.-Mayor Tom l.. Johnson in the course of 8. speech at the twenty-first district democratic convention held here today. said:
 A few years ago an unknown young man way out in Missouri commenced to talk about duty in public life He was elected circuit attorney. From that moment millionaires as we'll as the cheapest political grafter learned that Jos. w. Folk believed what he said. Folk pursued the crooked mil lionaire as well as the cheap grafters and landed them in the penitentiary. The end is not yet, in the chase for criminals in Missouri and today this fearless young democrat is as good as nominated as candidate for governor.
 There are political grafters in Wash ington. We know that to our sorrow. Perhaps Folk could find labor for his talents as president of the United States aiming his giant blows at the official rottenness at Washington. I am not attempting to forecast the ac- tIon of the coming national convention. but the fearless Jos. Folk should be kept in mind"

The newspapers and all other customers of the telegraph company suffered from the order. The threat ened raid on the bookmakers and track officers by constables amounted to nothing. While there were a score of constables carrying warrants to be served, still only two arrests were made and this was done so quietly that very few patrons of the track had any knowledge of the proceedings. The arrests had no effect on the betting. as the men were allowed to continue talk, ing bets after having been served with warrants.

THE COLORADO FLOODS.


 Denver, May 21-The flocd in the Cache La Poudre valley caused by the waterspout in the foothills yesterday afternoon reached its height at Greeley between nine and eleven o'clock this morning. The only life lest so far as yet known is Robert Strouse, who was drowned near Timnath. There are a number of people missing and owing to the condition of the roads and washing out of bridges, it is impos- sible as yet to ascertain whether or not they lost their lives.
 Dozens of bridges were washed out between Greeley and Windsor and be- tween Ft. Collins and Livermore. The railroad bridge north of Greeley is still standing but for a distance of a hum dred rods the embankment under the Union Pacific tracks were washed cut leaving the rails without support.
 Mail communication between Wind sor and outside points are entirely cut. The last train arrived at Windsor on Friday afternoon and the Colorado and Southern management report it will be Tuesday or Wednesday before commu- nicationsA can be re-estab blished, on ac- count of the damage to the tracks be- tween Ft. Collins and Greeley.
 No accurate estimate of the damage to the crops can be made til; the water goes down, but if it continues to fall at the present rate a part of them will be saved.

Addresses Before That Section of the
 Press Parliament.

St. Louis. May 21.-Before the press section of the biennial convention of the general federation of Woman's Clubs today, held in the German gov ernment pavilion at the worlds fair grounds, the "Woman's Column" Was the subject of an address by Miss La Vania Egan, of Louisiana, member Of the worlds fair board of lady man agers. She said. that the 'Woman's Column" in the average newspaper is filled with "plaudits and platitudes and pie crust and pudding"
 "No woman continued Miss Egan. ''is fit for the ballot or for equal rights with men, as long ds she permits the v'oman's column of the accepted type. Hear it of recipes and frivolities and let it express the woman's point If view"
 Melville F. Stone spoke of the in euence of women on newspapers. He said that not a line of scandal woul1 as printed in an American newspaper were it not for the women. No large metropolitan newspaper can live with out the support of women. He con tnued: The newspapers of today are edited for women and not for men. If the women of the General Federation of Women's Clubs will set their faces against scandal, the objectionable in Journalism will disappear. Women have a joint responsibility with the editors as to the class of news con- tained in the columns of the metropoli- tan daily"

 With the docks used by steamers of Long Island Sound lines piled high with freight the strike of the freight handlers today seemed even more seri- ous than at any time since the trouble began
