DANCERS AS AMBASSADORS
Queens So Fond Of Waiting Enjoys
Must Be the Best Of
Partners.

That royal women are so pas
hiOnately fond of dancing is not Ia
be wondered at, since it is only
within a comparatively recent pc
riod that the rigorous etiquette by
which they have been surrounded
has been modified to the point
where it is permissible, in a game
of golf or tennis, or any game what
ever, for an opponent of less ex-
allied rank to play his or her best
game without infractiOn of the
rule that not even by accident
should the royal player be defeat
ed, says the Illustrated Sporting
News.
Golf, tennis and such games
lost interest with those who
were obliged to play under these
conditions, and it was only natural
that queens and Processes regard
ed the ballroom as the sole place
where they might indulge in exer-
else on equal footing with a part
ner instead of an opponent.
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
prefers the waltz. Queen Alexan-
dra, although 60, still waItzes with
as much pleasure as in the days of
her youth. Her sister, Empress
Marie of Russia, despite her wild
OwhOOd and her many grandchil-
dren, is still an indefatigable
Walter, as is also Queen Charlotte
of Wurtemberg.
So important indeed is the mat
ter of dancing to crowned ladies
that many foreign governments
make a point of selecting for GER
tain missions 'envOys noted for
their skill as walters. Through
out the reign of Queen Margherita
of Italy the British foreign Office
took care TO be represented at the
Italian court by the best dancer
available, the late Lord Vivian;
his successor, Sir Francis Ford,
and after him the late Lord Duffer-
in, having been as much noted for
their dancing as for their diplo.
matte skill.
Germany, too, followed the ex.
ample of Great Britain, and for
years was represented at Rome by
Count SOlms, who was invariably
selected by Queen Margherita to
open the ball with her at any en-
tertainment where she happened
to be present.

FROM AN OLD ABSTRACT.
Story of a Farm Now in Kansas City
Sold by Senator Cockrell
in Boyhood.

If SenatOr Francis Marion Cock
rell could have tOreseen when he
was a boy that the great city of
the Missouri valley would be built
here at the junction of the Kaw
and Missouri rivers he might now
be multi-milliOnaire, SAYS the
Kansas City Star. In examining
an abstract 70 a lot on Tracy. be-
tween Thirty-sixth and Thirty-sev-
enth streets, X. j. HOImden, the
attorney, made the discovery that
COCkrell, in 1S47, when he was d
boy Of 49,, owned 80 acres there
and he sold it all for 5000. The lot
which Mr.. HOlmden was looking
up sold recently for $4,000.
The land, GAO acres of it, was
decided by the United States gov
eminent in 1927 to the state of Mis-
souri, for seminary purposes. The
tract was all of section n, town.
ship 40, range 33. In 1888 Joseph
COCkrell, father Of the senator,
bought 50 acres Of it from the
state for $2,02 an acre. Mr.. Cock
rell died, and in lS47, when Fran
els Marion COckrell was 13 years
old, he petitiOned the court,
through his guardian, to sell the 80
acres.
In his petition he said that he al
ready owned farm in Warrens-
burg sufficiently large for his
needs when he should become Of
age, and, besides, he said, the big
storm of 1914, the year of the great
food, bad blown down all the trees
on his SO-acre tract in Jackson
county and therefore it would be
for him to hold it because
when he would come of age the
timber would be all dead. Hicks
and Smart, of Independence, were
COckrelPs lawyers. The court
granted his request and the land
was bought by Joseph Brown for
5000.

WONDERFUL ALLIcATORS.
Funny Craft Used by the Lumber
men in the Woodland Riv-
ers of Canada.

! 4. Among the most common slgnlS
in the streams and lakes of the
Canadian lumber country are ALI
gators. One cannot go up a river
in the woods without seeing any
where from two to half a dozen of
them lying on the banks or floating
in the water, says the st. Paul
lGlObe.
Nobody hunts these alligatOrs,
and there is no instance known of
their attacking anybody. Indeed,
the lumbermen swim around right
alongside of them, and generally
there are from one to three lum-
bermen sitting on the back of one
alligator.
The fact is that the Canadian al
ligator is not a reptile, but a boat
and boat as queer in the world
of boats as the real alligator is
queer in the world ofreptiles.
The Canadian alligator boat is
an oval, fat thing, with a small
boiler and engine bolted to the
deck, without any deck house or
other structure over it. Two
spidery iron paddle wheels on the
sides do the propelling.
They look funny enough plung-
ing along, with the skeleton wheels
padding like mad, and IA great
raft behind them; but the funniest
part of the alligator is not seen till
the craft happens to get to a shall
low place, os till it becomes deslr-
able for some reason to warp a
great crib of logs into shore or
fasten it to the bank.
Then the alligator proceeds to
demonstrated why it is so manned. II
chug-chugs calmly to the bank,
goes straight at it, up goes its nose
on the shore, and the next moment
che paddle wheels cease to revolve
and the queer boat trundles up on
land.
Then the amphibian character of
the thing becomes visible. Under
the keel of the alligator are wood
en- rollers. When the queer craft
has been forced as far up the bank
as the paddle wheels can drive it,
chains are run to the nearest tree
and brought back to the rollers.
The engine gearing is shifted from
the paddle wheels to the rollers and
the alligator proceeds to pull it.
self along over the land.
Thus the lumbermen have a
boat. a locomotive and a station
AIRY engine combined in their ALI
gators, and the value of such a
combination can be realized when
it is understood that sometimes
they bring down RATS so huge that
they will cover a square mile
while the distances over which
they are fiOated are so great that
RATS have been known to be three
years on the way from the far
north to the settled country.
