All DR. paraiions had been made for de-
parture, and a guard of honor was drawn
no on the platform, when the officer
c. mmandng the guard was informed
that the prince was sleeping in the gov
crpor's house. The guard was with
drawn. and word was given out that
the price would not make the journey
that night.
The tables we're cleared aud the ser
wants prepared to retire, when the
prince. with his staff and Russian es-
cort, suddenly appeared, and the train
was ordered to leave Immediately.
Troops then filed the station, the public
was excluded, and the princes staff was
ordered not to leave the train. Guards
With fixed bsyonets were posted at the
doors Of every car.
Extraordinary precautions were taken,
and the train left the station with all
windows thickly mufled, and the lights
of the engine extinguished. The mill

Characteristics Which Make Him .
Great Presiding Officer.
So far as keeping the House In q
good frame Of mind Is concerned,
Speaker Joseph Cannon has been the
most successful presiding officer In
many years. Mr.. Carlisle was cold and
unsympathetic. Mr.. Crisp was timid
and did not keep his side we'll in hand.
Mr.. Reed was strong, but his strength
was that of an autocrat. Mr.. Hen
derson was jolly, undignifed. and Ill
fitted for the task. Mr.. Cannon may
seem to lack dignity at times, but he
has the absolute respect and devotion
Of the entire House, Democratic as
we'll as Republican. They regard him
as sterling figure, and his very rug
gedness and hatred Of sham appeal
to all who come in contact with him.
One Of the secrets Of Mr.. Cannon's
success lies in the practice he INDUCES
in Of keeping in close touch with the
House membership. He makes

old man reared the child.
"a wal arose between the north side
and south side fishermen when the girl
was nearly twenty years old and she
being familiar with the river life took
part with the northsiders and during
the excitement, when boat load OF
soldiers had arrived and treacherous
pilot had jumped overheard in q storm,
seized the wheel and took the soldiers
to the rescue of her friends, and though
she was wounded while guiding the
boat did not make it known until after
the riot had been quelled.
"As a remarkable coincidence old
man Seadog was wounded in the same
fight and died from the effects of his
wound, but not until he had made res
titution of the property coming to the
girl.
cit was case of a girl making a
woman of herself and also making a
man of a common fisherman. When
the girl came into her property she
compelled her sutton, her present bus
band, to wait until she could obtain
an education and to also obtain one
himself before she would marry him. "
The boat at this juncture blew its
whistle for the landing. The woman
who had been the subject of the pas
senger's story called to handsome lad
in his early teens, and said:
"Cone, Ringwold, my son. and be
ready to 60 ashore"
As the boat swung around against the
wharf man and his wife were there to
welcome them.
"Dear Hazel is as pretty as ever, |"
said Mrs. Lapham.
"And Budlong still retains his SOL
dielly bearing" replied her husband. ="

What "Lioyd's" Really L..

How many newspaper readers who
find daily references in the news dis
patches to "Lloyd's" have any clear
idea as to the exact nature Of that
famous British institution?
Perhaps the most Of them have a
vague impression that it is a huge
marine insurance concern, having u
large measure Of control-unoficia
but real-over the shipping regulations
of the world. The great corporation
which still retains the name Of its
founder of Elizabethan days and
which has had it's headquarters in
the Royal Exchange In London since
1774 has nothing to do as such with
marine insurance or the taking Of
risks and paying of losses, but its
members have. 1t is, in fact. great
maritime exchange, incorporated in re-
cent years by parliament, and it Is TO
the world of shipping and through its
members of marine insurance what the
house Of Rothschild is to the banking
world.
Aside from the fact that Lloyd's af-
fords marine insurance brokers place
Of meeting with their clients, its great
function is the collection, publication
and diffusion of information with re-
spect to shipping. 1t is the direct out
come Of the enterprise Of the keeper
Of a London coffee-house. Edward
Lloyd was brought much in contact
with seafaring men and merchants,
and his foresight and enterprise led to
the development of system which
has become world famous.

A Queer Marriage Ceremony.

Among the Kherrias of India the
marriage ceremony is very funny.
Taking small portion of the hair of
the bride and groom in turn from the
center of the forehead, the priest
draws it down on to the bridge of the
nose. Then, pouring oil on the head,
he watches it carefully as it trickles
down the portion of hair. If the Oil
runs straight on to the tip Of their
nose their future will be fortunate,
but If it spreads over the forehead or
trickles off on either side of the nose,
bad luck is sure to follow. Their for
tunes told, generally to their own sat
isfaction, the essential and irrevocable
part Of the ceremony takes place.
Standing up side by side, but with
faces strictly averted, the bride and
groom mark each others forehead
with with "sindur" (vermillion).

ALVEY LITTLE BEAR.

Always Happy and G ood-Natured When
Having His Own Way.
One evening the stage driver set
down on my lawn wooden box, from
which proceeded curious noises. "Uh!
Ch! Uh! Wow! Wow! Scratch,
scratch, scratch! Wow! Uh-h-h-h-h"
These were q few of the sounds which
were pouring out of the cracks in the
box, and as we went up to investigate
we saw a large card, on which was
written: "Please water me and give
me something to eat, but do not give
me fruit or sweets, as it makes me
sick. l like milk. l am for Ernest
Harold Baynes. The Haven Cottage,
Newport, N. H." It's was all very
interesting so far as it went, but no
clew to the contents of the box, so
with a hammer and chisel pried off
the cover, and out popped the little
black head of baby bear.
"Oh, the little dear" cried a lady
who was present, at the same time
springing forward and catching up the
cub in her arms.
1.-THE little DEAR" however, had been
penned up for more than forty-eight
hours, and moreover he was literally
az hungry as a bear and in no humor
for being petted. So he promptly bit
the lady, tore long rent in her dress
with his hind paws, and she quickly
dropped him, having learned one OF
the most important rules in the study
Of animals: "Never take liberties with
any creature until you know some
thing Of it's habits" This rule applies
in the case of skunks. A bowl Of
crackers and milk met with his in
slant approval, and without waiting
for it to be set before him, he stood
up on his hind legs. seized the rim
Of the basin with his paws and hoist
ed himself into it. Then it was set
down, threw his fore paws around it,
and fairly buried his little face in the
food.
Except when he is hungry Jimmy"
is not cross; he simply wants to have
his own way, and then he is as happy
and good-natured as can be. But
having his own way means getting
into all sorts of mischief, and while
his antics are often very amusing, they
are sometimes very embarrassing. He
is particularly fond of ladies and girls,
and he seldom sees one without rum
