PERT LITTLE PRINCESS.
Grand Duchess Olga Exacts Homage
From a Busy Omcer.

/ FROM n nuaL OlMeeEs
The little Russian princesses, accord
ing 10 a reliable correspondent, do not
quite bear out the prevailing impress
sion that all children of the crowned
heads of Europe are necessarily para
gons Of perfection or little prudes, says
London NJ. A. P. These small girls are
children In every sense Of the word,
warm hearted, mischievous, high spir-
tied, free of speech, unfettered OF ac-
ton and possessed of a full apprecia-
ton Of their own exalted rank. The
latter is quite particularly true OF the
fair haired. blue eyed Grand Duchess
Olga She has often been known to
stop her little pony carriage in the
parks Of Peterhof-the czar's summer
residence-to call to order some passer-
by who had failed to accord her the at
tention she considered due to an en-
peror's daughter.
Here is an anecdote about this conse-
quential little lady which has not found
its way into print before: One day last
summer when the court was still at
Peterhof the four little duchesses were
playing on the beach in front Of the
Alexandrlne palace when they saw
some distance away a young officer,
who. with casquette thrust back from
his hot, perspiring forehead, was en-
crossed in supervising a group of tired |
looking sailors executing a difficult !
piece Of work.
The men on percelving the children's |
approach instantly suspended their la
Dor and, standing attention, rendered
hem the full military hOnors that were
heir due. This amused the little girls
10 such an extent that they instantly
abandoned their game to strut demure-
y up and down in front of the work
srs, who were thus compelled to neg
ect their labor and salute each time
hey passed.
This went on for some time until the
'fficer began to lose patience. Observ-
ng that the little girls meant to con-
inue the game indefinitely he quietly
rdered the men to go on with their
york and take no further notice Of
hem. To the Grand Duchess Olga's
then, no one moved to
cknowledge her presence along the
ath. She gazed first at the officer,
len at the sailors, as if at a loss whom
D hold responsible for this gross act

ried, Salute at once, or I'll tell pa Z

BIG FAMILIES.
They Were Common In the North Of
England In Olden Days.


They Were Common In the North Of
England In Olden Days.
The north Of England seems to be a
fertile soil for large families. for in
1897 we read Of a Cumberland man
and his wife, accompanied by thirty Of
their children, all attending the chris
tening Of the thirty-frst child, and in
earlier years another north country
man, Thomas Greenhill, applied to the
then Duke of Norfolk, earl marshal, for
an augmentation to his coat of arms
on the singular ground that he was
"the seventh son and the thirty-ninth
child Of one father and mother"
In Conway churchyard there was to
be SCENT can scarcely be there today
"a tombstone bearing the following
remarkable epltaph: Here lyeth the
body Of Nicholas Hooker Of Conway,
gentleman, who was the forty-frst
child Of his father, William Hooker,
by Alice, his wife, and the father Of
twenty-seven children, 1887"
If a mans family be considered as
including all his descendants, that Of
Peter Smith, who fiourished in New
Jersey in the seventeenth century, is
entitled to a high place of honor, for at
a recent annual gathering of Peters
progeny no fewer than 1000 met and
dined together under the apple trees
IN the orchard attached to the ancestral
homestead.
In families it 10 not an unknown
thing for one child to be old enough to
have a sister OF brother young enough !
to be his or her great-grandchild. Thus
the eldest son Of Thomas Beatty Of |
Drumcondra had passed his seventy
third birthday when his youngest |
brother qualified for the cradle. When |
William Frost of Galphay, near RipOn,
died In 1889 his eldest child was
sturdy boy of eighty eight summers
and his youngest was barely sixteen,
and the Lady Powerscourt Of today is
half a century older than her latest
Brother.
There are cases on record where a
century or more has divided the we'd
ding days Of father and son. The first
Earl of Leicester was first married in
l775, and his son led his second wife
to the altar in August, 1875. while Cap
tain Francis Maude, who was married
On June 2S, 1s49, was following the
example his father, Lord Hawarden,
had set him ninety-three years earlier,
n 1906 But both these cases are quite
,clipsed by that Of General G. Steven
'On of Bristol, who was united to his
hird wife in 1894 at the age Of eighty
-wo and whose father was first wed
n 1904, the year Of Blenheim. This
eeming impossibility is accounted for
" the fact that the father. who was
'oEn in 1850, was married for the third
ime at the age of seventy, and the gen
raj was the son of this late union.
thus we get the remarkable result of a
nan whose father was born in Charles
rs reign wooing and wedding within
be memory Of many people still living.

HIS FAREWELL WORDS AS SU- PERTNTENDENT OF SUNDAY
 SCHOOL GLASS.

Comparison of the Crops That Grow in
 the Field and Those that May be Gull
 tivate by Each Person and that VIII
 be of More Benefit Than Those That
 Grow fn the Ground-CrOps of Pa-
 tfenee, Charity and Good Will Toward
 Each OtheF-These Make a Heaven
 for All.
 Cleveland, O.. Oct. S.-In his closing talk to the Sunday school class of the Euclid avenue Baptist church, of which he is superintendent, John D. Rocke- feller to-day made a comparison of the crops that grow in the field and the crops that may be cultivated by each person and that may be of more ben- eft than those which grow in the ground. MT. Rockefeller referred to personal virtues, and in part he said:
 T don't know how many of you children have been in the country this year, but many of you have come to see me at my home, and have made me happy.
 T want to ask you what crops you have harvested this year? I won't find fault if you have not done very we'll nor if you have forgotten, for we, older ones do the same thing, but struggle along again and resolve to do better want to suggest to you children that you foster the spirit that prompts us to speak a kindly word and that ex- tends the hand heartily. Some of us have not had much education, some of us never graduated from college, but we can raise crops just the same. Let us cultivate the spirit of patience. Let us cultivate that crop right here in our own city. in New York or wherever we may be. Another crop that we can cultivate is charity. Still another crop that we can raise is that of good will. Patience, charity and good will to- wards others are ever so much better for ourselves and for others than are the material crops that grow out of the ground. :...
 q feel like q. sponge because I have absorbed so many blessings during my stay in this city but remind you that we should be like the pump which not only sucks up but also gives out. If you will cultivate the virtues I have mentioned you can make a heaven on earth for yourselves and for all those with whom you associate"
 To-day was MT. Rockefellers last as superintendent of the Sunday school class of which he had charge during the summer. He will return to New York city this week.
