Prince Henry of Prussia, while rid
". suddenly found his way blocked by
q large farm wagon which was going
1t q snAil's pace. The princes chauf-
teur blew his horn over and over
again. but it produced no effect. on the
sturdy old farmer who was guiding
the sluggish horses, and finally the
prince told the chauffeur to try to
pass the wagon at all hazards. This
he did, and, though the passage was
very narrow, lie skilfully managed to
avoid IN accident. The horses
plunged. however. as the pufnng ma
chine passed by them. and the old
farmer, reused from his apathy.
poured forth q storm Of maledictions
on the stalwart gentleman in the au-
xomobi1e.
You're nothing but a big block
head!"': he finally shouted; and at the
words the prince whispered to the
chauffeur, who at once left the car
ziage and went up to the old man.
What do you mean by calling his
royal ;highness a blockhead?" he ask
cd him.
"Heavens above! Is that his royal
highness?" stammered the farmer.
Good Lord! didn't know twas him."
."AN right" answered the chauffeur.
"'The prince Is satisfied that you did
not know him, and as you are the first
person who has ever called him a
blockhead, he.:wishes to return the
compliment by presenting you with
these five dollars"

BATTLE IN OF. PETERSBURG.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 19.-A popular
anti-government demonstration, tho
participants in which included large
numbers of students of both sexes, be-
gan at midday in the Nevsky Prospect
and lasted about two hours. Hun
dreds of police and mounted
gendarmes who were hidden in tho
court yard Of the public buildings.
emerged suddenly and charged the
crowd at full gallop, driving the DEM
onstrators in headlong confusion and
screaming with terror upon the side
walks and into adjacent streets. This
led to serious encounters. fifty per.
sons being more or less severely in
jured. Large numbers were arrested.
The ferment continued far into the
night. but only one Or two other abor'
tive attempts were made at demon
strations, the police being in such
force that they bad no difaculty in
selling tho ringleaders, no resistance
being made in any case. Last night
the students of the Politechnique and
other institutes held open meetings.
at which fiery speeches were made in
favor of reform and the convocation
Of national assembly. The greatest
distress is expressed by conservative
Liberals over the days events, all de-
claring that just when the fate of the
zemstvo program was in the balance
such fruitless outbreak will be sure
to prejudice every observer and put
the strongest weapon in the hand of
the bureaucratic reactionaries.

to make use of her dexterity with

at school.
She invented a story about an
