Great Britain has several Indian rulers

They are all well treated, and, in fact.

he pulls in half a dozen. They were

what was inside of them. and we dug
out a little square tin with a Chinese

find a lot of black stuff that smells like

after the rest of the cocoanuts that
were floating around till we got all in

there must be $40 or $50 worth of opium

And thereby hangs a tale regarding

custom for American society women
in London TO compete one with another
in works of charity. Mrs. Ronalds and
Mrs. Arthur Paget have, Of course, for
years worked together. but as fresh
American women found their way into
English society each of the new arri-
walls in her turn commenced a small
charitable campaign Of her own. The
Duchess of Marlborough was especially
noticeable in this respect. She desired
to be q charitable institution in herself.
The Queen, when she was Princess Of

Of charitably disposed persons, never
