beauty Is greater than mine and will
marry him. Princes from many lands
responded, but to one and all you said,
No Why?'
Again the voice questioned. The
princess lifted her head and looked in-
to the eyes of the questioner and an
swered:
Because not one had greater beauty
than mine.'
Raising his hand and taking a step
forward, the man spoke with velle-
mence: For that reason You sent away
that northern prince and laughed him
to scorn, and because he was so hum
bled he returned to his home hater
of womankind, broken and disap-
pointed man. Know this, your high
ness-that prince had more beauty than
you, for his was of the soul, while
yours is of form and face. The lowest
of your subjects has greater beauty
than you, their princess"
The princess shivered and turned
away, but no word did she answer.
Your highness, 60 now, but shall
return" With quick movement he
kissed her hand and disappeared into
the woods.
The princess leaned against the tree
trunk and hid her face in her hands.

She glanced at his thick dark hair and

Meeting tho Proprietor.

There is well known Devils glen on
the precipitious coast of Ireland. 1t
happens that the gentleman who owns
this weird spot is dark complexioncl
and hot tempered. The glen is not
open to the public every day. although
certain days of the week are set aside
for the benefit of the tourists. 1t
Glanced on one Of the close days that
a party of American tourists gained
access somehow or other. At this time
the owner was at the glen and cncoun-
tered the intruders. He went up to
them and peremptorily demanded if
they knew that they were trespassing?
A member of the party was rather
irate by the question and not unnatu-
rally retorted, pray. who are you that
challenge us?' The reply came prompt
ly, II am the proprietor" "Well, we
were told this was the Devils glen.
but we did not calculate to meet the
proprietor The Irishman saw the
point of the joke and took it very good
naturedly and invited the intruders to
luncheon.-London Graphic.

The facts are that Emperor William

From ChlcagO's Mayor.
SUBMITS ORDINANCE WHICH

pal Ownership by Agreement or
Condemnation or Build
Parallel Lines.

Chicago. Nov. 13.-Another ordi-
nance providing for steps to secure
municipal ownership of street railways
In Chicago was submitted to the city
council tonight by Mayor Dune The
ordinance was accompanied by a mes
sage to the aldermen which gave
three WAYS IN which Mayor Dunno as
serts he would be able to bring about
municipal ownership. The first plan is
by reaching an agreement with the
traction companies by which their
property could be transferred to the
city at price decided upon by ar
biters.
The second is by condemnation of
the property of tine street railway COM
panies under the provisions of the
Mueller act.
The third method is the one which
the mayor has already presented as
an alternative to his contract plan. 1t
is for construction OF municipal street
railway lines which will parallel the
lines of the existing companies.
The ordinance which accompanied
the mayors message asked that auth
ority be given to place on the ballots
at the spring election the question
whether the city shall issue Mueller
bill certificates to the amount Of s-a,-
100000. This sum. 1t is declared by
the mayor, is needed for the recon .
struction of the lines and for the pur-
chase of the unexpired franchises of
the existing companies.
The message and the ordinance were
referred to the committee on local
transportation. the same fate as that
which met the other propositions
submitted to the council by the mayor
in regard to the municipalization of
the Chicago street railways.
