rumored his royal master of Portugal

him. He inherited no titles. His peo-

HIM "Bue
Monkey"

To the intense chagrin of the French
visitors, they were all passed over and
the ball was opened with the little
Portuguese Minister as the Queens
partner. The incident served to
strengthen the impression that there
is, after all, something in the gossip
which so persistently links his name
with that of Princess Victoria as her
future husband. There are scores of
wealthy and socially ambitious people
in London who would give half they
possess to learn of the Marquis how to
make themselves equally fascinating.
ROYALTY HAS SWEET TOOTH.
A caller on one of the equerries Of
the Prince of Wales, some time before
the luncheon hour, expressed surprise,
when recounting his experiences, at the
distinctive odor of jam tarts cooking
and other confections which pervaded
the royal establishment With the ex-
ception of the King, whose devotion to
the weed long years ago spoiled his
youthful taste for sweets and loIlipops,
all members of the royal family are
fond of confectionery. Queen Alexan-
dra's preference is for chocolates.
While fond Of them. too, the Princess
of Wales is especially devoted to fruit
farcis. All her children are literally
supplied with sweets and do not dis
dain even to suck at the plebeian toffy
In these degenerate days among the
mighty the taste for sweets is by no
means restricted TO aristocratic femin-
unity. Several members of the House
of Lords have a weakness for sweets
of all kinds and sometimes betray it
even when engaged in the discharge of
their august functions as hereditary
legislators. One noble peer. especially.
may frequently be observed solacing
himself with bonbons in the course OF
a debate. In the lower house there
are no less than thirty members who
never enter the Parliamentary chamber
without sweets of some sort in their
pockets. That doughty champion OF
labor. John Burns. whose boast il is
he never wore an overcoat to shield his

has since remained.
HONORED By ROYALTY.
Many have been the marks of roval
favor which he has received. He is
frequently the sole guest at its family
dinners. No one receives more invita-
tions to the great house parties got
up for the Kings entertainment. He
often accompanies the King on his
tours. When Queen Alexandra and
Princess Victoria went to Paris for q
three weeks stay it was the Portu-
guese Marquis and diplomat who ac-
companied them and acted as their
guide and mentor. AT the state ball
given in London on the occasion of M.
Loubet's visit the partiality shown for
him by royalty subjected the entente

the name given by some OF the ancient
Greeks to a kind of lyric poetry con-
nected with the worship OF Apollo. The
Oldest paeans from Homer appear to
have been either hymns addressed to
that diety to appease his wrath, or
thanksgiving odes sung after danger
was over and glory won. In later peri
DDS they were addressed to other del
ties also. According to xenophon the
Lacedemonians sang a paean to Po-
seldom after an earthquake and the
Greek army in Asia one to Zeus- In
modern usage paean is a song OF tri-
umph.

He began to recuperate quickly
and there was very marked showing
of the strength and value of the food.
He soon got well and has been at his
work ever since, and never shows any

HUNDREDS OF SALT WELLS.
Hutchinson Concern Will Drill
String to the Gulf.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE Hutch
1nson Kansas Salt company known as
the salt trust, has commenced work
on a string of wells which they are to
drill from Hutchinson to the Gulf of
Mexico The work is being done in an
attempt to find the end of the great
salt vein and the wells are to be
drilled a distance of 20 miles apart.
Frank Vincent generaImanage for the
company, gave out the information
when he was in Wichita this week
He stated that the company would
drill several hundred wells and that
they would take up leases where the
wells were drilled so that they would
have interest in whatever was discov-
cred whether gas, oil or salt. The
company owns wells from Hutchinson
south by way of Grand Saline and Col
orado City, Texas, to the Gulf
One of the first of these wells is be-
ing drilled at Caldwell, Kan.
