ever since held. She has we'll earned the
release from the cares of state which she
has enjoyed since her son became King
Victor Emmanuel Ill
They are on the best of terms, but in the
first days of his reign the young king made
it apparent that in affairs of state his mas
terful will was paramount and even his
mother would have to give way to it. She
wanted the body of he's martyred husband
buried in Turin, the reason she assigned
being that there the other members of the
race had been buried, and that he ought to
lie among his kin.
There was as she knew, one exception to
this rule. The body of Victor Emmanuel,
the founder of the present united Italy, had
been laid at rest in the Pantheon--that is to
say, in Rome-that beautiful prize which
he had won from the papacy, and which the
papacy still hopes to win back. 1t was
her desire not to offend the church which
strengthened the wish of the queen mother.
But her son insisted that his father should
be buried in the same tomb in the same

The king had his own way, and every

them since. Out of his own civil list of

warily. Artistically such a tour could
scarcely be other than great success. Mr..
Tree speaks German as well as he speaks
English, though 1t is by no means certain
that he would attempt Shakespeare in an

German students of Shakespeare prefer to
read him in English and If that Is so they
would probably prefer also to have his plays
acted in English. In any case the tour

On another occasion the queen mother

wonders what would happen If the good
queen, who is graciousness itself, but an
aristocrat to her finger tips, should sud

But this is the spirit in which she is plan

Queen Margherita is not by any means a
novice at motor travelling. She knows what

American women have always had pow
erful attraction for Queen Margherita, their
delicate, fair type of beauty appealing
powerfully to her. and their frankness and
seIf-possession introducing a fresh element
in the monotony of her circles as the
royal presentations are called. In the
queens youth Mrs Marsh wife of the
American minister at Piedmont, was greatly
admired by her and exercised considerable
influence on the princess education through
her German governess who came 20 Mrs
Marsh for advice. Ever since then Queen
Margherita has had a high regard for
Americans which several pretty severe
shocks have not served to diminish.
Strangely enough, the queen mother used
to be much prejudiced against motor cars,
and would not hear of entering one, 1t Is
said because she considered them so ugly
and dangerous. One day, however, she al
lowed herself to be persuaded TO take
spin with her son, King Victor; but alas.

found cure for her maladies-menalcholy
and restiessness.
The first time King Humberts life was
attempted was in her presence, and the
shock so affected her nerves that the doc
tors were seriously alarmed, although the
public In general was unaware of the fact.
Her nervousness took the form OF extreme
and acute restlessness, which would not
allow her any repose. Motor cars were
then unknown, so she was taken to Nee,
accompanied by most accomplished mu-
sIcIan whose duty and delight 1t was TO
play to her for hours. Under this treat

Eldora Social Events.

Eldora, Dec. 16.-One of the pleasant
society events of the season was the
card party given by Mrs w. J. Murray
on Friday afternoon. Twenty-four lad
les accepted her invitation and enjoyed
seven games of whist. Mrs. Murray's
new home was attractively decorated
with Christmas greens and red Christ
mas bells. In place Of score cards,
each player received miniature
Christmas tree, and at the end of each
game the winning ladies received tiny
bells, candy baskets and tinsel decora-
tons to place upon their trees. At 5
o'clock Mrs Murray assisted by Miss
Luella Albrook, served refreshments,
which carried out the colors, red and
green.
Mrs. James Hardin entertained the
young lady members of the First Con-
gregational church, at an elaborate 6
o'clock dinner, last night. The young
ladies enjoyed the hours spent in the
Hardin hone, for the hostess is noted
for her hospitality.

New York, Dec. 16.--R. q. Dun &

says:
Holiday trade has become the prin-
cipal commercial feature, retail sales
SURPRISING all records, while it has
been found necessary to place liberal
supplementary orders. Yet this ac-
tivity in specialties detracts little from
the steady movement of staples and
in jobbing and manufacturing depart

ton for the spring season. Little ma
chinery Is idle and the outlook for the
future is frightened by several an
nouncements of higher wage scales to
become effective January 1. These are
in every instance voluntary on the
part of employers and, one concern
Will thereby distribute S1,000,000 more
per annum.
Building activities are scarcely re-
tarded by the advancing season, new
permits being constantly granted and
dealers in some materials find their
stocks nearing exhaustion. Railway
earnings steadily show gains over last
years figures, December thus far ex-
ceeding those of 1904 by ~ per cent.
Foreign commerce returns for Novem-
Der made a much better exhibit as to
exports than was expected, partly be-
cause of the outgo OF breadstuffs,
which surpassed all monthly records
for over two years. At this port for
the last week all exports were valued
at $3,S42,S62 more than a year ago,
while imports decreased $1,496,099.
Two gratifying features are noted in
reports regarding the iron and steel
industry. New business continues to
come forward, raising the rate Of pro-
duction above all previous records,
while conservatism prevails as to quo-
tations and there is still no evidence
Of the reckless imitation that has
brought sudden setback in SO many
previous periods of similar activity.
