The Emperor of Germany and the
Empress as partners at a card game,
with the Crown Prince and Crown
Princess as opponents, with other
members of the royal family similarly
occupied, was an incident of the mar
rage festivities when Crown Prince
Frederick William of Germany and
the Duchess Cecilia of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin were joined in happy matri-
mony. This was one of the ancient
customs practiced by the Prussian
royal family two centuries ago and
earlier, and was revived a couple OF
months ago when the royal marriage
was solemnized in the Fatherland.
While the royal family were at the
cards distinguished personages of the
country and from abroad were re
ceived by the ruling family.

At certain seasons heavy rains occur
in all parts of the country. When
roads are flooded and washed. bridges
are carried out, and shallow fords pc
come impossible, carriers often go
miles out of their way to surmount
such obstacles.
They are a loyal, accomplishing
class, these faithful messengers,
bringing the mail day after day, in all
weathers, cold and hot, wet and dry.
And it is no more than fair that pa
irons assist them in every way posi-

bottoms, and bridging creeks.
