A PRESENT For A KING

Mars. ARTHUR PAGET, the wife of Major
il General Paget of the Scots Guards, who
recently met with a serious accident in a fall
down an elevator shaft, is one of the few
American women who have long been init
mate friends of King edward.
The following story, now told for the first
time, throws an interesting side-ight on the
frequent inquiries that The King made in the
days following the accident.
As the Prince OF Males, his majesty had
spent many hours with the Pagets, running in
on them informally for an evening, and meet
ing them on purely social grounds OF friendship
Mrs. Pagct had lust reached New-Gork.
where She had spent many years of her life on
a visit. when the cable brought news OF the
death Of the Queen. and the accession of her
son to the throne
While she could have written to him as a
Prince. as the King she could not but desir-
ing to express her interest in some personal
manner She hit upon a novel plan one day
while shopping among the large markets.
She knew that the King was especially fond
Of certain ducks and game then in the Ameri-
can market, but not To- be had in England

SIZE, and drew substantially upon her bank

she asked.

superior pride We often send things across
Very well. then. send them, SAID Mrs
Paget And | am particular that they
arrive in perfect condition. She made ont
a check.
But what's the address," asked the
market man
oh. yes. l had forgotten, replied Mrs
Papet. and She gave the city address OF the
KING Of England.
The man seemed disappointed and turned
10 her companion. Poor woman he SAID
He believed that she was insane, and it
required many explanations before he would
accept the order.

Yankee ~Pumpkim-Pie
By John S. Grey

You may talk about your foreign cooks and ali the things they make.
The thousand dainty dishes that they stew and boil ard bake:
You may prate about their wondrous skill in culinary arts.
How deity they can manufacture pudding. pies and tarts;
Go praise the French and German chefs. and the Italians too.
For making salads, sauces. soups and fancy dishes new
But for a toothsoue morscl upon which can RELY.
Just give to me a solid wedge Of Yankee pumpkin-pie.
Let those OF fashionable tastes turn up the nose in pride.
And think 1t quite plchean to be simply satisfied:
Let them eat their pate dc fme gas. their truf1cs and such stuff
With foreign names, suspicious looks and odors rank enough:
Let them eat those airy pastry pufs they think SO very nice.
Because they've got ouuandish names and cost a mighty price
But say, to curb your appetite, and your stomach satfy
There's nothing like a great big chunk of Yankee pumpkin pie
Roast beef may have more nutriment, more bodybuilding worth:
Veal, mutton, lamb be nouishing, and stretching of your pirth;
Your chicken, duck or turkey may suit raates very fine
But these can take a back seat when I'm passing down the line.
FISH. fcsh and fowl NAV serve to STAY the appetitcs of some;
But YOU must treat me better when | to your table come
Leave out the heightened viands, let each dainty dish GO by
If can get my face fast in a piece of pumpkin pie!

soIidifisd Cream 10 Now ssld In
Chunks Through New Process.
The inventors Of a method by which
milk Is now being solidifed on con-
siderable scale confidently believe that
their discovery will not only abolish
the many dangers of the dairy. but
will eventually do away with the dairy
itself. They are confident, that Is, that
the day Of liquid milk Is over.
People who have tried to solidify
milk before have employed too low q
temperature in their fear Of decom-
posing its fats and sugars, and in con-
sequence have failed. But by the Just
Hatmaker process the liquid milk Is
whisked round polished cylinders kept
at a fierce heat by steam. and comes
off in a few second; in the form OF q
continuous white sheet hve
feet in width. This is reduced to pow
der, and may be compressed into
cakes.
The feature Of the product Is that 1t
Is still potentially milk-the whole
milk and nothing but the milk, ana 10

necessary to add the seven parts OF
water which have been evaporated.
The result Is said to be dtmcult to
distinguish from fresh milk. It's cream

into butter or cheese. The powder
cakes keep indefinitely, and samples
have been sent round the world and
kept for three weeks in Shanghai, re-
turning quite fresh. Obviously 1t is i'm
possible to water, skim or adulterate
solid milk, and fact to which the In
ventors attach extreme Importance Is
that all attempts to cultivate microbes
on it have failed.-San Francisco

THE LARGEST PUMA.
A Specimen Ten Feet Long Killed In
Washington.


II have just returned from the Blue
Creek country, where I bagged the
largest puma I have ever seen," said
tom" Hopper, veteran hunter Of
the Northwest, on a trip to the city
recently. II went up on the Blue
Creek a little west Of Chemelah In
search Of deer and ran on traces Of
bear.
mot long after we started out Old
Cap. my bear dog, started ahead
Of the rest. and ran on for about 200
yards. Then he stopped and began to
raise a terrific row. The other dogs
started after him, and we followed as
fast as we could, as we thought they
had treed bear.
when we came to the dogs they
were surrounding a tree and, looking
up, saw gray form clinging to the
boughs. I knew what It was In an In
slant. I have shot too many cougars
to be mistaken.
BY this time 1t was so dark that
could just see the puma's white throat
and could scarcely see the gun barrel.
told Rowley to take aim and when !
counted three to fire. We both fred at
once. We struck him in the fleshy part
of the forelegs. The animal came
down with thud in about eighteen
inches of snow which was around the
foot Of the tree. Then he started on
run and we thought we had lost him.
However, we let Old Cap loose. and
he took up the trail in hurry. The
other dogs followed and Rowley and
brought up the rear. We did not 80
far before the animal was brought to
bay under the roots Of windfallen
tree. The dogs were upon him and
he was lying upon his side and snap
ping at them.
"As soon as I got to where could
distinguish anything in the snarling
mass saw the cougar swapping at Old
Cap, and Old Cap doing his best 70
retaliate. Screamer, a foxhound, was
standing by with a bleeding shoulder
and Old Cap had a cash across his
throat that exposed his windpipe and
q wound in the shoulder. -
when could get sight Of the an
imal It had its mouth open. took aim
and fired as nearly as could make 1t
in the darkness, directly between the
rows of glittering white teeth. Tho
puma lay down and we thought he was
finished, but soon he showed fight
again. got little closer this time
and sent bullet through his brain.
That finished him.
II have shot 200 cougars" continued
Mr.. Hopper, but have never seen
one so large as this one. He measured
feet 4 inches plump and weighed 2b'
pounds. I have shot some almost a
long in California and this state, too.
but never one that was 80 heavy. The

now is. say It is the largest they ever
saw."-Spokane (Wash.) Cor. New

HUNTER IN CLOSE PLACE.
Could Not Kill Four Lions With Ono
Shot, But Escaped.


while on a recent shooting trip In
East Africa, some 400 miles inland
from Momhasa, the following incident
occurred" says a correspondent Of the
London Telegraph: II had just killed
very fine rhinoceros, and resolved to
take stroll while my gunbearer and
boys were decapitating the dead pachy-
derm. My two spare rifles left with
the gunbearer, telling him he might
expect me back in about an hour, by
which time I deemed all would be
ready to convey my trophies back to
camp. Accompanying me was little
Wakamba lad as pro tenn gunbearer.
I'VE had covered about two miles Of
gently undulating plains Of long dry
grass, destitute of any vestige Of COW
ert, when suddenly came to a dead
standstill. Immediately facing US,
scarcely twenty-five PAGES distant,
standing quite still, their heads and
shoulders showing above the long
grass, their ears cooked forward, their
eyes fixed straight on us, were four
full grown lions.
"The following thoughts flashed
across my mind; dare not retire a
single step backward, or all four lions
will come to me; besides, have no
where to run to. Suppose I fire (my rifle
was a 1903, and fully loaded with ten
rounds of sporting ammunition), can
make absolutely certain Of one Of the
four. Suppose the remaining three
charge! even then might by very
lucky shot account for second. After
that. On the other hand, II kill
one the other three may beat a retreat.
What should do?
Though these awkward brain ques-
tions needed immediate answer, was
still wavering-for the temptation to
shoot was very strong-when one OF
the lions began to evince signs Of rest
lessness, and an evident desire for pos
itiye action Of some kind. My mind
was made up. It would be madness to
fire. Untwisting my case Of field
glasses from my shoulder I caught 1t
by the strap, and. rushing forward
with a loud yell, hurled 1t at the enemy.
All four turned tail and bolted with a
wough!. wough! as they bounded. tails
pointing skyward through the long
grass. About 300 yards of they stop
ped, and again contemplated US with,
fancy, no inconsiderable stonish-
ment."

USE OF HYPNoTISM.
In tho Detection of Crime Has Become
General In Abyssinia.

M. Ilk, confidential man Of Emperor
Menelik, who Is at present In Switzer-
land, has made some interesting state
ments relative to the role which hyp-
notism plays in the detection Of crime
In Abyssinia. In that country, accord
ing to M. Ik, there are regularly re-
cruited a number Of children about ten
years Of age who are trained for the
purpose Of discovering criminals.
These crime dlscoverers are called ia
bascha," and are relied upon, while
under the influence Of hypnotism, to
detect malefactors.
AS an example Of their powers 1t Is
recited that one Of the labascha re-

Natures Own Cure
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without
dangerous drugging of the Stom-

Not until Hyomei was discovered has
ii been possible to truthfully say that
remedy for catarl h was known.
This remedy is breathed through
the Hyomei inhaler for few minutes
four times day, and during that time
every particle of air taken into the
air passages and lungs is impregnated
with the germ killing and health Civ
ing Hyomei. 1t is the only treatment
that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never make per-
manent cure Of catarrh. Hyomei not
only kills the germs In the throat and
nose but penetrates to the mlnutest air
cells In the lungs and enters the blood
with the oxygen, killing the germs in
the blood. 1t frees the mucous mem
brance from poisonous microbes and
gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but ST. 90 and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi-
clent Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment.
Wortley g. French have so much
faith In the meri of tHyomei that they
agree tho return the money to any pur.
chaser who may be dissatisfied.
