LONDON; Aug. ls.-The proprietor Of
fashionable cafe at Marienbad has lost
straw hat, for the recovery Of which he
offers q reward Of 1000 francs. The hat IL
not OF q costly variety Of Panama. but Is
rather rough looking straw hat, yet 1t was
the pride OF the proprietor's life because It
was woven OF straws through which tho
crowned heads Of Europe have at various
times sucked cooling drinks dispensed in
the owners establishment. For . long
period Of years this King worshipper has
been collecting styaws from tho royal lips,
scorning mere mobiles or Statesmen. Then
when the collection was complete the hat
was manufactured and triumphantly
crowned the owners head. 1t has boon
stolen by waiter. Ono wonders how
many straws King Edward. who Is now 1t
Marienbsd. may expect to find in any drink
he may take at this cafe II tho proprietor b
determined TO replace the lost treasure.
