A FABLE ABOUT
CHO0FER BARNEY

Old Bike. So Barney got job Choof-
ing, and after he had Choofed around
while, firm of Bullet Makers hired
him to Navigate some of their l3-inch
shells in Races.
Barney was a star Bulleteer, all right,
He could cut corner at Mile n
Minute without Spelling the Part in
his Hair, and he wasn't afraid of any
thing, not even his Boss. He got to
be such a Saucy Imp that the Judges
and Things. at races where he COM
peted lost their Breath at some of his
Capers. And by and by, after he had
broken into the Jail House for some of
his Funny Business, he got a Smart
Slap on the Pulse from the Track Mo-
guls, who Hung him Up.
The Hanging Bee resulted in Bar
ney's getting spilled off the Bullet,
so that his Outlook was for New
Job. Barney pored over the Job Diree-
tory a while, then suddenly decided
he would take bit of unwonted exer-
else by doing bit of Thinking. So
he had a nice, long Think. after which
he went to the Bullet Man and said
he would be Good and might he please
ride the Bullet in the Cup Doings
across the Pond, And the Bullet Man,
being a Nice, Kind Party, said Yes,
only This time you get your orders
from the Central Office; don't sass

out of the Policeman's House.
Moral-When you have nice,
Steady Job that You like, figure out
Plan whereby to hang on to it, aud
then stick to the Plan.

joined her. The princess announced
her intention of securing a divorce in
order to marry Lieutenant Mattachich-
Keglevich, and instructed lawyer
to initiate the formalities. But the
fact that she and her husband were
Roman Catholics, married according to
the rites of the church, created diff
oulties.
In the hope of compelling Prince
Philip to use his influence the princess

Swords were used, and it was evident
that the prince was at his antagonist

and contented himself with disabling
him.
After this Princess Louise returned

Once upon a time, in the early
Jurassic period, when sport called
Bike Racing fourished on the face OF
the Earth, there was Gay Young
Duck called Barney Oldfield, who was
numbered among the Fleet Gazabos Of
the Cinder Path When Barney clam
bered aboard his $3.50 l4h-pound Bun
die of steel and rubber, it was high
time for everything but the Circum-
ambient Atmosphere to get out of the
Way. As an Amateur Barney won 80
many pianos, diamond rings and sets
of Tires that he thought seriously OF
getting Married and going to House

Now, when the old Bike Game Fell

did he emigrate to Australia or kel-

life Easy for while, and pretty soon
along came the Automobile.

whereupon Francis Joseph decreed her
permanent expulsion from all his do
main.
A few days later Lieutenant Malta
chich- keglevich received orders to re-
port to his regiment at Agram. He
was arrested on charge of forging
the signature of the Crown Princess
Stephanie on promlssory note by
means of which money had been OBJ
tanned for Princess Louise.
He was incarcerated for seven
months, after which he was tried by
court martial. The trial was an I'M
precedented mockery of Justice.
The accused was not allowed legal
representative and no witnesses We're
called. The evidence consisted of dep
ositions. cooked up to suit the case.
The promssory note was not pro
duced and the officers forming the tri-
bunal had never seen it.
Nevertheless, the court martial found
him guilty and sentenced him to the
loss of his grade of nobility, expulsion
from the army, and to six years i'm
prisonmcnt.
In prison Mattachich- Keglevich was
treated with exceptional severity. The
greater part of his term was spent
in solitary confinement, varied with
periods of As hours in the dark hole,
six feet long bv four feet wide.
Early in 1902 the truth about the
trial was exposed in the Austrian reich
rath and caused an outburst of indig-
nation, which reached the Austrian
emperor's ears, and Mattachich Kegle'
vich received a pardon by imperial de-
cree, after he had suffered four years
and four months Imprisonment.
Within an hour of Mattaohich-Geg
levichs arrest Prince Philips lawyer,
accompanied by two physicians, two
keepers and force of gendarmerie,
raided Lobor castle, seized Princess
Louise, and took her to a private asy-
lum at Mobling, near Vienna.
One of the physicians afterwards
apologizcd to the princess, saying that
he had been misinformed, and testify
ing to her sanity.
After six weeks, DR.. Obersteiner, the
proprietor of the asylum, announced
that the princess was sane, and she
was taken away and placed in another
private lunatic asylum at Jedlersdorf,
ner Vienna.
Here. too, the medical attendants
were honest. and the princess was re-
moved to the asylum near Coswis,
where she is now a prisoner.
Six years have now passed since
her arrest and there is no prospect
of her regainng her liberty, for her
husband has declared that she shall
be lifelong prisoner. Her father, sis
ter, son and daughter and other royal
relatives have deserted her and ignore
her existence.
Soon after his release Mattachich-
Keglevich made an attempt to rescue
the princess from the madhousc. The
attempt failed, but he found opportu-
nifty to have long talk with her while
she was taking her daily exercise.
On this occasion she told him a tale
of suffering which caused him to swear
that he would never abandon his at.
tempts to secure her liberation. An
other attempt to liberate her failed in

How ardent l seized it. my brow It

And quick to my parched throat the

And soon with sweet thanks my heart

Nordyke has critical eye when it
comes to sizing up a baseball player,
and among other things in his epistle
to Tuttle he goes on to tell that among
the games played this season they have
had 1000 attendance at Los Angeles,
1900 at Frisco, 1000 at Oakland. When
the team opened in Tacoma nearly
every person old enough saw
the game. Nordy says there were 1900
ladies' and it wasn't ladies' day either,
Tacoma, according to our ex-frst-
baseman, is baseball crazy. He also
tells about some of the players in his
letter. There's Keefe, a youngster
whom Dyke says has delivery much
like the late Nichols. He is said to
be wonder. Jimmy st. Vrain and
Thomas are both rounding into fine
shape. The fans over there are sore
because Dammann couldn't break away
from Spokane. In concluding Nordyka
says he always liked the Spokane fans
and likes to play in this city as well
as any he had ever been in.

The board claims the crematory is
entirely inadequate and insufficient to
take care of the refuse of this city.
Unless the plant is run "a hours it is
unable to handle all the refuse matter

The board further says complaints
have come in regarding the dense

which is said to make it a nuisance to
residents of the neighborhood.

Prince Phillip of Coburg, ii years her
senior, just after her 18th birthday
Before starting on the honeymoon
Princess Louise went to her mother
and declared she preferred the scandal
of separation rather than go with
her husband But she was forced to
accompany him.
Prince Philip is general in the Aus
trian army. He and his wife resided
alternately at their country estate in
Hungary and in the Coburgher pail
ace in Vienna.
Princess Louise was extremely beau
: .tiful, vivacious and witty, and attain
ed foremost position in society. Her
tastes were simple and democratic and
the jcalousies and intrigues of court
life were incomprehensible to her.
81 cannot tell You my impressions
when l was introduced into this world
of intrigue" said the princess years
later. 81 was repealed and disguised
and bitterness was implanted in my
heart" Among those who annoyed her
was Prince Philips brother, Prince
Ferdinand, now reigning over Bulgaria.
Ferdinand fell in love with her and
wanted her to leave Philip and become
that Prince Ferdinand offered her a
dagger with which she could get rid OF
her husband.
Prince Philip never understood bis
wife and never tried to gain her affv-
tons. He was neglectful and cruel.
He had been in love with her moth
er. the queen of the Belgans, and mar
ricd the daughter under pressure of
the mothers persuasions.
In 1898, when she had been n lone
" wife for Ii years, Princess Louise,
then 81. first saw Lieutenant Mattich-
ich- Keglcvich, a Hungarian aristocrat.
Lieutenant Mattichich- Keglevich was
riding fiery horse and was trying
TO prevent the animal from throwing
him.
A crowd watched the struggle, and
during it Princess Louise drove past
in her carriage She was an expert
rider and ordered her coachman to
stop that she might watch the con-
test. which ended in the subjugation
of the stced.
After this she often saw Lieutenant
Mattchich- Keglevich riding in the
Prater, but 1t was year before he
was presented to her. The princess
and the officer fell in love at first
sight and the princess unhappiness
seemed to justify mutual confess
sion.
Princess Louise intrusted him with
the management of her stables and
J took riding lessons from him. This
continued throughout the spring and
summer of 1890.
In the autumn of 1896 Lieutenant
Mattichich- Keglevich received orders
from the Emperor Francis Joseph to
leave Vienna, and on the same day
Princess Louise was summoned to the
palace OF his majesty. The emperor
received her coldly and said: "Your
