TWO LOVE STORIES
AND A CONTRAST
BY PRUDENCE MANNEN.

A very fetching little story is going the rounds just now about the m
gagement of Princess Alice
No n doubts for a moment that the match has been made by the two
principals only. No interference Of father or state, has changed the natural
course of things.
That is the way it is done in America.
II was not 80 long z that a grand duchess of Russia loved a grand
duke. And he loved her, too. The outcome has proven that their mutual
affection was noble and acknowledgements which prove its truth.
Interests of state-a potent argument in their country-compened the
duchess to marry another man. She dutfuly saw n o more of the IN she
really loved. But interests Of state cannot wed souls, and she ws divorced
after a time.
The grand duke. her first and only love, came back. Did she marry
him and Give happDy ever aferward?" No Oh, no. Not in benghted
Russia. Her sovereign did not approve. For herself she did not care; but
there was a little daughter whose future might be ruined by the dspleas'
ure of the car SO she sent the duke away.
The little girl died, and the last. link that held the mother TO poAuc
action was broken. Now she has married the grand duke, and he is TO- be
rebuked by the car That may mean social ostracHm, which is a terrible
thing in Russia.
First, she sacrificed love to country.
Then she sacrificed love to duty,
Now she has sacrificed all else to love.
It is good that Princess Alice cn live her pretty romance in peace
1t is good to live in the land of the free
Aren't YOU sorry for those two who. by their noble sacrifice, despite a
constant affection, have proven that they live n a land of the brave?

The old-time rural comedy, Uncle
Josh Spruceby." was greeted by a
fair audience at the Elks' theater last
night. The company is about the
ordinary, and the performance great
ly pleased those who had never seen
il before. The sawmill scene is not
bad, and as the heroine is laid on a
moving log being drawn into a oar
ing buzz saw, the usual h~air-raising
thrills are injected into the audience.

A c.nIn. Beau BrummeI.

Fourteenth street and other shop
ping centers have seen some strange
specimens of pampered dogs on which
women lavish their affection-canines
ranging from the languid lapdog to the
theatrical dog led by blonde actor
cite, from the gouty pug to the COM
mon yellow cur from the side streets.
But the limit came yesterday, and
the traffic policeman on Fifth avenue
was almost run down by an automo-
bile before he recovered from the
shock.
The canine aristocrat was a gouty
pug dog. and he was escorting an ell
derly spinster along with becoming
dignits. The dog wore the conven.
tional blanket, made of dark green
cloth and trimmed with scarlet silk.
The lower part of his blanket came
down to form little trousers that
reached up to the pug's knees and
were buttoned with four gold buttons.
That's the limit" said the cop to
a tall southerner who was watching,
mo, it's even worse" said the man.
.'See, one side of the blanket has a
pocket from which bit of Irish point
lace handkerchief peeps out, while the
pocket on the other side contains four
tiny gloves for the pug's feet. Down
South we like a dog too much to make
clown Of him!"-New York Press.

ABOUT GOO GOO" EYES
FoRslDoEN IN HOUSTON, TEXAS.

Defined by Judge Of City ceurt-In-
eIude stares, Winks. and osIins
~Nith Intent"-No Sane Man Safe
IL the Girls Are Pretty.
Texas has furnished the country
with definition of the much-used and
little-understOOd term 'goO-gOO" eyes
1t appears that the city o. Houston
not long ago passed an ordinance for
bidding the making of this sort of eyes
and the question that naturally arose
in the minds of innocent young men
was what they really were.
The judge Of the corporation court
Of Houston. after having pondered pro-
foundly among his dusty tones and
consulted the stale authorities of his
bloodless profession. has delivered
herself OF this opinion: "A stare Is a
'googOo.' II II is committed with in
tent; a wink accompanied by intent
Is 'goo-gOo'; likewise the cooking OF
an eye. ogling, making wide eyes. all
come within the broad sweep Of the
term 'goo-goo' IL accompanied by in
tent"
1t appears that the ofYense depends
entirely on the intent of the ''goo-goO"
Intent being a necessary concOmitant.
then 1t must follow that a seeming
''goO-goo" Is really '.goo-gOo" II the
stare, wink, ogling or wide" eyes
whatever that may. be-is unaccom-
panied by intent. One may stare like
a dead fish at a pretty face in Houston
without breaking the law Of man, but
let even the faintest shadow of sus-
picion of sympathetic intelligence light
up the offending orb and to Jail he
goes. 1t is left to the prosecuting wit
ness to say whether certain optical
acrobatics are accompanied with in
tent. And she must guess at it Who
ever heard Of a woman having the
least suspicion of what a man means
when he stares. winks, Ogles or makes
wide" eyes at her? Poor, innocent
dear, she isn't supposed to know. Yet
the men in Houston are made victims
to the caprice of these innocent charm
ers who confessedly are not experts in
discriminating between the "googoo"
courteous, the "goo-goo" with circum-
stance and the "goo-goo' direct.
The girls in Texas can flirt all they
want to, but the moment a mans eye
even glistens in the sun the object OF
his adulation can have him sent to the
rockpile or drawn and quartered, or
whatever punishment Is considered to
at the crime in Houston.
After this opinion no sane man is
safe in Houston unless he Is blind or
has dyspepsia, or the girls are less
attractive than in other parts of the
state. The moment he steps from the
train he Is in danger. II a pretty face
confronts him and he gazes at it
trifie longer than he would at "a garb-
age cart, then there is intent, OF
course, and it's bad day for him.
If girl should smile at him, and in
stead Of dropping his eyes and running
away he should commit the fiagitious
crime of smiling back, it would mean
solitary confinement. at least What
kind of town would Houston be for
an Elks' nvention?-Leadvf1le Her

Trees Have a History
Interesting Collection to Be Seen In
the Botanic Garden At Washington

Especial Correspondence.)

The already large collection Of his
toric or memorial trees In the botanic
gardens was added to when Senator
Foraker recently planted in the south
east corner Of the gardens q young
elm sapling Of notable ancestry. This
tree will grow in the gardens rs a
memorial to the senior senator from
Ohio. It is one OF three gratis taken
from the historic old Washington elm,
which stands In the middle of Q broad,
old-fashioned street in Cambridge,
Mass, within q stones throw of Har-
ward university. The parent tree, or
the Washington elm. as It has been
designated for generations commands
interest by reason of the fact that It
was under this tree that George Wash
ington took command Of the American
army, July 3. ITS. at the commence
ment Of the struggle of the colonies
for independence. At the base Of this
tree is q granite tablet which bears an
Inscription telling Of the event which

One Of the other gratis from the
Washington elm was planted in the
gardens some time ago by Speaker
Cannon. along the main walk leading
to the west gate and in the vicinity of
the two Morrill, memorial trees. The
third graft was planted recently on
Senator Aldrich's estate in Rhode Isl.
and by President Roosevelt. All three
of the gratis were sent to Mr.. William
r. Smith, superintendent of the botan-
ic gardens, by Prof. Sargent Of Har-

Trees AZ Memorial.
Mr.. Smith. superintendent Of the bo-
tanic gardens. takes an especial pride
In the trees planted in the garden as
memorials to great men and statesmen
OF the country. He intends some day to
compile list of all the historic trees
in the gardens. and perhaps, to have
each labeled with the name of the per-
son whose life and work the tree is in
tended to commemorate. One of the
most famous trees in the United
States is the one that formerly. occu-
pied a place near the Washington elm
in the capitol grounds. This was a
specimen of the outrageous Italian
beech. or hornbeam, OF the identical
sort under which the ancient Etruscan
shepherds tuned their pastoral pipes
and rested while tending their woolly
focks.
In the early '70s, when the great i'm
provements were under way on the
capitol grounds, a number of splendid
trees were threatened with destruction

Templar. and the dangers of body
OF marching men passing over the
boards covering the subway excava-
tion on Washington street were dis
cussed. Finally the friend offered to
bet Mr.. Duffy there would be an ac.
cident there the next day. The bet
was taken. After his friend departed
Mr.. Duffy called up the transit COM
missioners by telephone and called
their attention to the danger. When
