The recent sensational attempt Of
Princess Louise of Saxony to see her
children was not wholly due to a
rash impulse on her part. For months
past many of the people of Saxony
have been clamoring for a reconcile
alton between Frederic Augustus, for
merly crown prince and now king,
and his faithless wife. -.
AS an expression of the popular
feeling there has been in use for
several months an odd series Of illus
trated postal cards. They were put
upon the market by some enterprise
ing genius who saw how the tide Of
public opinion was flowing, and
sought to take advantage of It, He
was most successful His postal
cards were bought with avidity, and
have been used to tremendous ex-
tent by the followers Of the recreant
queen.
One OF these cards simply shows
the young king and his five eldest
children In a group, while in a cor
ner OF the card are the portraits OF
the princess and her lastborn babe.
Another card shows Saxory mourn

A third card lampoons Giron, the

of conspiracy to accomplish the

continues, they still look toward her
with hope. One day her august hus-
band may bring her back to his pal
ace. and the people will welcome her
as no prince was ever welcomed"
A fourth card shows the princess
shut up in a cage with lunatics. These
words accompany the picture: This
is what may be seen in the twentieth
century" A fifth card Is called "the
peoples prayer" 1t says: THAT
thou mayst in peace return, that thy
maternal rights may be recognized,
and that thou rnayst once again press
In thy arms thy children, far from
whom thou art exiled, is the wish Of
thy people. Louise, come back to
thy Saxons. Thou art dearer than
any other to our hearts,"
The sixth and last card Of the
series Is an odd conception, showing
all the princess children in a group,
in the window Of a railway carriage.
Underneath is inscribed: I'VE are
all going In search of our dear little
mamma"
OF course the unfaithful princess
knew of the popular sentiment in her
favor, and doubtless she was largely
actuated by it in her desperate at
tempt to force her way to her chill
dren. There are, of course, many
Saxons who agree with King Frederic
that the woman deserves no sympathy
at his hands. He has divorced and
expatriated her, and there seems no
likelihood that she will ever see her
little ones again, whatever the popu-
lace, or a part of 1t. may think about
the matter.

The Thievins Mink

Indians believe the following story
about the mink This animal WAS such
a great thief that at last all the ami
mails held u council about the matter,
1t was decided to burn him SO they
caught the mink. built great FIRE and
threw him into it, AS the blaze went
up and they smelled the roasted flesh
they began to think he was punished
enough and would probably do better
in the future. SO they took him out OF
the fire But the mink was already
burned black and has been black ever
since, and whenever be Is attacked or
excited he smells again like roasted
meat. The lesson did no good, how
ever. and he is still as great thief as
ever.
