London papers report that Sir Charles
A. J. Brooke. the EnYlishman who en-
joys the unique distinction of being the
ruler of half million Malays. Chinese
and Dyaks ut Sarawak in the island of
Borneo. has just appointed his son to
assist him in his regal duties. The ra-
jah of Sarawak has taken this step in
consequence of his growing iniirmities
He is in his seventy fifth year.
The story of how the rulership of
Sarawak came into the hands of the
Brooke family Is romantic one 1t
was brought about by the adventures
Of the uncle of the present rajah. In
1888 James Brooke then thirty five
years of age. having retired wounded
from military service in India, char
tered small yacht and with Il crew Of
twenty men sailed away to the far east
in search of adventures. 1t happened
that he reached Sarawak while Il big
rebellion was on. Throwing i'm his lot
with the reigning sultan. he brought
order out of chaos and was himself
appointed rajah of the province he had
rescued from anarchy.
After II successful rule his health
gave way. and forty years ago his
nephew succeeded him. The regent Is
thirty years of age and has resided in
Sarawak on and Off from boyhood.

WEIRD IRISH STORY.



Whom He Loved.
Quite recently at Waterford, Ireland.
a pretty and fascinating young lady,
who was vcry popular in the town.
fell i'll and died. Her death occasioned
general regret. She had many friends.
and large number followed her re-
mains To the cemetery. The last rites
were said and Ill returned to their
homes. saddencd at the loss of one
who had been so dear to them.
An extraordinary SEQUEL occurred. A
peasant farmer. living In the vicinity
of the cemetery, rose early next morn
Ing To go TO his work. Happening to
look over the wall of the cemetery, he
was astonished to see man on his
knees beside the newly filed I'm grave.
The peasant watched and saw him
feverishly scraping away the earth
with his hands. not looking aside for
one moment.
The onlooker remained with his eyes
fixed on the strange sight. To his
amaZement the mysterious visitor con-
tinued his grewsome task with I'M
abated vigor until presently the coffin
was laid bare. Then. with the aid of
an iron implement, the man forcibly
wrcnchcd of the lid.
The climax in the weird drama had
been reached. Bending down over the
open shell the stranger. who had 50
wantonly disregarded the sacredness
of the spot. gazed long and earnestly
upon the face of tho dead girl Then.
imprinting one passionate kiss upon
her forehead. he raised himself and re-
adjusted the lid. afterward proceeding
to fill in the earth over the coffin again.
Meanwhile. however. the authorities
had been informed of the occurrence.
and the police arrived and arrested the
extraordinary intruder. He was taken
to the police station and formally
charged.
In his possession was found n tele-
gram. handed i'm at Waterford. and
delivered To him at Bristol. telling him
OF the death of the young lady. 1t
appeared that on receipt of the news
he took his passage Immediately for
Waterford and. on arriving. repaired to
the graveside.
When arrested he said, "They
thought they could prevent me seeing
her. but they were mistaken" He
was taken before the magistrate, who
committed him to an asylum.-London
