Osborne Cottage. in the Isle Of Wight.
As the only girl of the family, she has
naturally been made a special compan-

accompanied on motor and yachting ex-
peditions; while she has had the good
time that one sister among three
brothers is always likely to enjoy.
Prince Alexander is barely year
older than herself, while Prince Leopold
and Prince Maurice are both younger.
All are much attached to the beautiful
scenery of their island home. which

ROBINSON CIRCUS WRECKED.
Two Cars DitChed and Wild Animals Escape Spreading Terror
 Among Natives.

Arkansas City, Nov. Ii. Two cars of the fourth section of John Robinson's circus were ditched near Norfeet, Ark, on a sharp curve. The train was running slow, otherwise the entire sec- tion would have been destroyed. One cage contained the breeding lioness "Sultana" and four cubs. She escaped to the pines and her roaring frightened the natives. It was answered by another animal far back. Another cage wrecked contained ten huge snakes of the python, anaconda and boa constructor varieties, all over twenty feet in length. These disappeared into the swamps with the speed of a horse.
 At daylight the lioness "Sul- tana" returned for her cubs. With her was her former mate, "Cincinnatus, that a year ago was sold to Campbell Bros cir GUS, and that escaped when that show was wrecked a week ago.
 Harry Reed, superintendent of the animals, with his assis tants, coralled the two beasts and re- captured them. The lions killed a horse belonging to a planter, William Simpson.
 A late report has it that the bunch of snakes are terrorizing the people to the north of Nor fleet, and are killing stock. The loss to Robinson's show is S20,- GOO. An elephant, "Tip,' leaped, as in the Brookville collision, and saved her life.
 Four shown1en are missing, James Waits, candy butcher, Memphis; Charles Rankin, ani- mai man, Chicago; Percy Jones, chandelier man, St. Louis; Fetch CT Liggett, hostler, Cincinnati. Latest reports show monster black-maned lion Jeff Davis" out and preying on farmers stock.

 BIT INTO BIG PEARL.
Profitable Experience of a Hot Springs Policeman in lunch
 Room.

Hot Springs, Nov. IA. -W When Patrolnan James Medlock drop ped into lunch room in the rear of Joe Mazzia's saloon last night for a lunch of fried oysters he became highly indignant when he bit a hard substance in one of the bivalves with such force as to nearly dislocate his jaw, as he thought the cook was trying to play a practical joke on him.
 His anger was soothed when, upon the advice of a friend, he took the jaw breaker'' to a jeweler' and found that it was worth $500.
 It proved, after fragments of oyster were cleaned away, to be a pearl without flaw and of un- usual size. It was apparently uninjured by having been fried in the oyster.
