MABEpS DAISIES.

Mabel had never been up so early in her life as
she was that morning. 1t was only o'clock when
she joined Fanny and Maude already at work pick
ing flowers in the daisy field. How beautiful the
world was, with the soft light of early morning
everywhere The air had never seemed so sweet
nor the song of the birds so joyous.
Its going to be beautiful day" said Fanny,
she walked toward an inviting clump of bios
SONS, and began adding them one by one to those
she already held in her hand.
Pm so gad." Mabel answered. Il never wanted
a day to be beautiful so much before. | hope it will
be the prettiest wedding the church has ever had"
wasn't it sweet of Miss Green to ask us to help
to decorate the church ~ remarked Maude
Il think its almost nicer for her to let us pick
the flowers" said Fanny. Did you know she was
going to choose a few flowers to wear IN her hair
from those her girl friends bring?"
Mabel made response, but she heard the ro-
mark plainly 1t brought a sudden purpose into her
heart. She was plump, round girl, with thought
full. brown eyes. and quiet manner which indicated
determination rather than shyness
If Miss Green going to wear any of the
girls flowers, Mabel had made up her mind that
they should be hers None of the girls could love
Miss Green as she did, even if they all did pro-
nounce her the dearest teacher they had ever had
Mabel loved Miss Green better than she had ever
loved any one except her father and mother. And
she Just could not stand it to have the bride waer
any other girls flowers.
So while Fanny and Maude picked rapidly, and
added bunch after bunch to the pile in the big bas
ket. Mabel picked slowly, walking here and there
over the field with closely obseryant eyes, gathering
only the largest and most perfect blossoms She
was very content with the choice little cluster she

it is said that she then and there fell in love wit
him. She has ten soldiers just as handsome in TIN
Queens Own guard, but she prefers Henry, ant
thinks him much the best looking
The Queens Own guard attended her at Tia,
opera that evening.
The guard is an institution peculiar to Hol
land. Ten young men pledge themselves to loob
after the queen. They knighted, and they are
stationed i'll the palace. They accompany her
wherever she goes. and never is she out of their
hearing. At least one member of the guard must
where Wilhelmna can call. At night the guards
sleep in the palace and two are always on watch
during the sleeping hours.
On certain evening, some two years back,
there Il little trouble in the royal apartments
in the bridal suite, still occupied by the queen and
her prince. The guard hearing the alteration
prcked up his, ears and listened. Then came Il
shrek from Wilhelmina, and instantly the guard
rushed into her presence without taking the pre-
caution to knock at the door.
Just what he saw has never been learned to d
certainty. But the guard was kicked out of the
room by the prince, and as the other guards came
to his rescue they treated in the same manner
by the prince. None dared strike him nor defend
themselves, for they not allowed to do
Forming ii line. the story goes they rescued
the little queen and bore her off to another part
of the palace and then returned to their compan-
ION, who has been seriously injured by the spurs of
the prince who had just returned from riding
trip and still wore his riding boots. The guard

him.
But that she loves Prince Henry is apparent
if she does not love him she is a perfect little
actress whispered of the aristocratc danes
of Amsterdam to her companions.
Does the prince notice that she is getting older
rapidly. Does he notice that the little Wilhelmina
of today is not the WheImina of four years ago!
And does he notice that she is losing her girlish-
ness and perhaps her good looks Does he see
that Whelmina at a looks older than she ought TO
look
"At the opera she applauded vigorously And at
one point she split her gloves so that She was
obliged to remove one of them. At this she only
laughed and, as her lady III waiting peeled it off
looking rueful, the queen positively laughed out
right. 1t is the first time she has laughed I'll
wager in months said lady in the audience.
Prince Henry appeared again when the opera
was over and Wilhelmina took his arm and passed
out. She turned and smiled at him. But not
word was spoken
Wilhelmina looked 40 that night. What Is the
reason! Is she getting old before her time What
makes little queen of "a who should be in the
height of her bloom, look like an old passe queen
of A!
THAT is question the Hollanders would like
answered"

THE MOTHERS STRIKE

Such dream ] had! SO dreadful
Ihat i never heard the like:
For / dreamt that on a sudden
The mammals agreed to strike
We are tired, I heard them inurmur.
Ilred OF working night and day
And not always hearing Thank Won,
such long hours and such poor nav,
So they would not mend the Jackets
Nor the holes i'm stockings small.
No one ran to kiss the bruises
When poor Tommy caught a fall.
No one bound up wounded fingers.
No one glued the broken TOYS
No one answered all the questions
OF the eager little boys
No one tied the little bonnets
No one brushed the little curls
No one basted dolly, dresses
for the busy little girls.
No one heard their little troubles.
No one held them on her lap
No one sewed on truant buttons.
Noone hunted Johnnys cap.
And there were no bedtime stories.
And no loving hands to tuck
Blankets soft round little sleepers.
For their mothers all had struck.
Oh so lonesome and so dreadful
And so queer it all did seem!
Aren't you glad, dear little children,
1t was nothing but a dream?

Ball Game at EldOn.

The game of base bail between Yer
sailles and Eldon played at the latter
place last Sunday was a drawing card.
An excursion was run from this city
leaving at noon and returning at I
O'Clock in the evening. When the fact
become know that the people would be
brought home at a reasonable hour no
trouble was experienc d III securing a
crowd, as III tickets were sold from Yer
sailles and twenty nor fans got Oh at
Barnett.
The game started at 2:30 p. III. with
the largest crowd I;ldon ever had at a
ball game. The teams were pretty evenly
matched and up to the fourth inning it
looked like a walkover for Versailles the
visitors pounding out four run in the
first inning. Eldon gradually over
come the lead and in the fifth, with the
assistance of rotten work by the umpire
the scores began to pile up for Eldon.
Versailles lost a number of good chances
while every close decision was registered
against them. The roofing through
out the game was fierce, but the decis-
ions of the Eldon umpire became so rank
and baretaced that at the second half Of
the eighth inning the Versailles team
left the field refusing to finish the game.
George koetting Of this city was induced
to assist in the umpiring, but this did
not deter the I:ldon freak from getting
in his rank work. koettirg decided
the game a draw while the I;ldon man
gave his home team the benefit of a nine
to nothing decision. The game stood Is
to 9 in favor of Eldon when Versailles
left the field. The whole was a piece Of
dirty dealing after Versailles had furnish
ed the big end of the crowd and the fact
that E.ldon was safely ahead in the mat
ter of scores. Gross and Padgett did slab
the game Cross did some good work but
allowed himself to become worked up bv
the umpire and ''rooters.' Using did
slab work for Eldon, and had the visitors
kept their heads he would have been
shocked ont of the box. The result of
the game was very unsatisfactory to the
spectators, and it would be impossible to
muster up another excursion to witness
a game in Eldon. To all impartial oh
server it looked like the lovers Of the
sport at our neigliboring town in Miller
T-a-
tors in making a success of the contest,
Ed. Weeks umpired the Eldon end of the
game, and he is a 'lulu' to say the
least. He proved himself more ''hog-
gish" than the thoroughbreds he owns
on his hog ranch.

child Of only five and a half, the soul
Of the music lover is at once thrilled
with admiration. TO think OF the pcs
sibilities within her grasp.
All or many of our best composers
and pianists have shown their talent
al an early age. Francois Frederic
Chopin was so talented that his first
public performance was given when
he. was but nine Little Edith, like
Elsa Flemming, seems capable Of re-
membering and reproducing long and
difficult pieces, in fact she can play
most anthing that she hears sung or
played on the piano. To see the child
and hear her play is quite wonderful
as she is very small for her age. It
is hoped that her father, who is T. c.
Co0ney, chief carpenter on the gov
eminent boat Florida, viii spare no
means that is necessary to develop
her great talent at an early age and
