THE STORY OF A HAT.
An Amusing Experience Except to
Those Interested.

An amusing story-that is to say,
amusing to any but the parties di-
rectly concerned-iS told to account
for the marked GOODNESS between two
society bellies.
One of them gave a garden party
recently, and the other, Who was in
vited and whom we may call Miss
A., was greatly chagrined to hear
from her milliner that a new hat she
had ordered for the occasion could
not possibly be ready in time Anx-
ious to appease her customers
wrath, however, the milliner offered
to lend her something from her
shop.
The offer was grudgingly accept
ed, and Miss A. appeared at the
garden party wearing dainty con-
fection of chiffon and flowers.
She was somewhat startled at the
look of surprise and bewilderment
with which the hostess regarded her
headgear.
"Oh, don't look at my hat said
Miss A. '"The fact is my milliner
disappointed me at the last moment,
and this is some wretched cheap
thing she lent Inc until my new hat
is ready"
Indeed" said the hostess in
freezing accents. 'EIt seems to me a
more stylish and ladylike hat than
you have ever worn before. But as
for the milliner, I'll never forgive
her. She has behaved disgracefully
and ought never to be patronized
again.
Between the GOODNESS of her re-
ception and the fervor with which
the hostess denounced the milliner
Miss A. was fairly nonplused.
Then she sought counsel of
friend.
"Whatever is the matter with
her." she asked, having explained
the circumstances.
II should say" was the friends
reply, 1T is because you are wearing
her hat, for 1 happen to know that
she bought that identical one at
your milliner's yesterday and left it
behind to have some alterations
made, and l don't think your re-
marks on it were calculated to
soothe her feelings~-London Tit
Bits.

A Lucky Dog.

An astronomer does not hail the
discovery of new star with any
more enthusiasm than the average
physician displays over new or
rare disease. 1t was in this spirit
th.t Sir Frederick Treves received
the account of ailments which a
distinguished patient gave him.
'Let me congratulate you" he is re-
ported as saying. "You have, you
lucky dog, a disease which was
thought to be extinct r.

Dent Boil Your Germs.

DR.. A. Charrin. distinguished
French savant, fed two groups OF
guinea pigs on carrots. One group
took the vegetable after it had been
sterilized by boiling and all germs
thus destroyed and the other aftN 1t
had been sprinkled over with dust
or with the soil in which the carrots
had been grown. Of seventeen sub
jects in the first group twelve died
before those in the second, and the
investigation showed that the total
absence of germs in the sterilized
food impaired the digestion and low
cred the assimilatiye power of the
animals. Only five altogether were
lost of the group fed on the germ
containing food. = Springfield Re

ter tc the farmers of the South to
day regarding IL reduction in cotton
acreage for 1906. The letter says
in part:
"The Southern Cotton association
will not ask the farmers of the
South to reduce the cotton acreage
for 1906 less than that planted in
1905. The association does ask,
and insists with all the force at its
command, however, that the belt In
1905 be not increased during the
planting Sc .son of 1906. Let the
watchword of every Southern farmer
be diversifcation, and through that
agency produce an abundance of
food supplies to maintain each
farm.
"The present estimated 1900, 900
acres planted in cotton is sufficient
under normal climate conditions to
produce enough cotton to meet the
demands of the spinners for the
American staple. Any material in
crease IN the cotton acreage for 1906
will tend to stagnate the COZ ton
market and depress prices below
their legitimate value. The le-
gitimate law OF supply and
demand is the only true medium for
regulating fair and Legitimate prices
for our great staple product
President Jordan closes the letter
with strong appeal to the farmers
to plant an abundance of small
grain, corn and side crops and urges
them to raise more hay, cattle and
hogs that the farms may become
more self-sustaining.

Freaks From Caribbean Sea.

They caught one fish far down in
the Caribbean that had no eyes at
all nor any places for eyes, but long
antennae ran out from its nose by
which it felt its way and found its
food. Another fish, a big fellow,
had eyes which grew on stems or
stalks that stuck out six inches from
its head. Then came one with an
eye that grew on a long stem like
a lily stem quite eighteen inches
from the nose.-St. Nicholas.

In manner he is quiet and unassuming,

proof of this; in spite of the opposition

Prince Carl and the Princess Maud,
who are first cousins, were much in

Pa turned the cock of the extinguish-

head, and began to squirt the medi-
Gated water all over him. For a mo-
ment Bolivar acted as though he
couldn't take joke, and was going to
start off again, but pa kept squirting,
and when the chemical water began to

surrender, and kneeled down in front

get on his back, and pa took the hook
and hooked it in the flap of Boiiyar's
ear, where is a tender spot, and he told
Bolivar to get up and go back to the
tent, and Bolivar was as meek as a
lamb, and he got up, with pa on his
back, and the fire extinguisher on pa S
back, and marched back to the tent,
through the hole he had made ceming
out. Thousands of people followed,

'for King Charles" or against King
Charles" Declaration is made, how
ever, that the negative vote was cast
entirely by opponents of monarchy,
there being no personal objection to
the Danish prince. The plebiscite
showed a large majority for the king,
and strong monarchial majorities in
the republican leaders constituencies.
Many of the stanch republicans, among
them Bjornson, advised the mOnarchial
form of government, on the ground
that Norway's liberal constitution
would insure to the people all the real
benefits of republicanism, and that the
retention of kingship would insure
''the benevolent disposition of her
neighbors." When the result of the
plebiscite was presented to the storth-
ing, the Norwegian parliament unani-
moutsly elected Prince Charles of Den
mark to be king of Norway. A royal
salute was fired on the announcement
of the news and the people in long con-
tinued jubilations gave hearty approval
of the choice of ruler. kilograms were
dispatched to Prince Charles, to the
king and premier of Denmark, and
the following reply from Carl was re-
ceived: with the permission of the
king, my illustrious grandfather, acv
cept my election as king of Norway
and will adopt the name Haakon VII,
comforting upon my son the name Of
Olaf. My wife and I call down upon
the Norwegian people Gods richest
blessings and will consecrate our fu-
ture life to the country's glory and
prosperity"
Enthusiasm greeted the reading Of
the telegram, and enthusiastic response
king Haakon."
When Carl was first proposed as
king of Norway, there was much COM
ment as to what title he would assume.
Some favored that of Haakon VI, as
Haakon v. was Norway's last inden-
pendent and distinct monarch: and
furthermore, one of the King Haakons,
very popular ruler, was brought up
at the court of King Athelstan of
England. And here it may be well to
interpolate glimpse of Norway as in
u0peHueHL lduu. her petty tribal
kingdoms were united under Harald
Fairhair, who died about 933. His son
Haakon succeeded. In 1923 Canute the
Great Of Denmark drove out Olaf the
Saint, but Olaf's son regained possess
sion of the throne in 1895; ard from
this date on to 1919 Norway was gov
erned by native kings. I nder Haakon
the Ole (1217-63) the country reached
the height of its prosperity. When
Haakon v. died without male heirs,
the national assembly elected Magnus
of Sweden, son of Haakon's daughter.
He was succeeded by his son Haakon,
and the latter's son Olaf was elected
king of Denmark and became ruler Of
both Scandinavian kingdoms After
his death his mother, ambitious Queen
Margaret, became mistress of the three
kingdoms, bound together by the union
OF Calmar (139D. From now on to
1874 Norway continued united with
Denmark, that year the date Of her
union with Sweden.
The new king mounts the new-old
throne. Long live Haakon!

It may be of interest to learn some
thing of the family, past and present,
of the Denmark prince elected king of
newly-independent Norway.
Prince Carts grandfather is the first
king of Denmark of the house of
Schleswig- Notwithstanding Glucks-
burg. This grandfather, the long-lived
King Christian, "father-in-law of Eu-
rope" acceded TO the throne of Den
mark when the direct male line of the
house of Oldenburg became extinct,
upon the death Of Frederick VII.
(1863). For more than four centuries
the Oldenburgs had occupied the
throne, the last Frederlc4A the sixteenth
Oldenburg king. In 1852, in view of
this monarch dying without direct
heirs, the great powers of Europe,
taking into consideration that the
maintenance of the integrity of the
Danish monarchy, as connected with
the general interest of the balance of
power in Europe, is of high Importance
to the preservation of peace" had
signed a treaty making the succession
of the crown of Denmark over to
Prince Christian of Glucksburg and lie
direct male descendants of his union
with the Princess Louise of Hesse-Cas-
gel, who was niece to King Christian
WILL, of Denmark. Although Christian

though he was saying he was q bad
man from Bitter creek.
Well, at Akron, the keeper of this
elephant, Bolivar, had to go and see
a girl that he met when the show was
here last year, and settle a case of
breach of promise before justice of
the peace, and the boss told pa to look
after the elephant for an hour or so.

times, and she cried pitiful, and pa
put the hook in Bolivar's hide and
gave a jerk, and told him to hush up
that noise, but Bolivar just reared and
pitched and walked right through the
side of the menagerie tent, and seemed
to say to the other animals: "Come

thing doing" and the animals all set

Self-Dependence.

Many a man has tried to justify his
failure on the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
him, that he must pick them up and
play the game, and that no effort, how
ever great, on his part, could material
ly change the result. But, my young
friend, says Orison SWEET Marsden IN
Success Magazine, the fate that deals
your cards is in the main your own
resolution. The result of the game
does not rest with fate or destiny,
but with you. You will take the trick
if you have the superior energy, ab1li-
ty and determination requisite to take
it. You have the power within your
self to change the value of the cards
which, you say, fate has dealt you.
The game depends upon your train
ing, upon the way you are disciplined
to seize and use your opportunities.
and upon your ability to put grit IN
the place of superior advantages
Just because circumstances do some
times give clients to lawyers and pa
tients to physicians, put commonplace
clerygymen in uncommon pulpits, and
place the sons of rich at the head OF
great corporations even when they
have only average ability and scarce
ly any o-uerience, while poor youths
with greater ability and more expert
ence oftes have to fight their way
for years TO obtain ordinary sltua-
tions, are you justified in starting out
without a chart or in leaving a place
for luck in your programme? What
would you think of the captain Of a
great liner who would start out to sea
without any port in view, and trust
to luck to land his precious cargo
safely? Did you ever know of a
strong young man making out his life
programme and depending upon
chance to carry out any part of it?
Men who depend upon luck" do not
think it worth while to make a thor
ough preparation for success. They
are not willing to pay the regular
price for it. They are looking fol
bargains. They are hunting for short
cuts to success. Power gravitates To
the man who knows how. Luck Il,
the tide, nothing more. The strons
man rows with it if it makes toward
his port; he rows against it if it flows
the other way"
