A KINDLY QUEEN.

There are many stories told of the
queen of Italy's acts of kindness to
her poor subjects. The following
however, shows that even the good In
tentions of queens are not always full
filled. Her Majesty recently noticed
pleasant faced little girl, and the
queen spoke to her. There was a
short conversation, and the queen
asked the child what she could do in
the way of needlework Il can knit
stockings, signora," replied the girl
DO you know who l ann" continued
the queen. Eyes, signora; you are
the queen" well, then, make me
pair of stockings and send them to
the palace" A few days afterward
the articles arrived, and the queen in
return for the gift sent the child a
beautiful pair of silk stockings, one
filled with sweets, the other contain
ing money. Next day the queen re-
ceived letter from her little friend
as follows: "Signora, your gift has
caused me many tears. My father
took the money, my big brother took
the sweets, and as for the stockings
why mother took them for herself"

EATINGDOGS AND

MEAT FAMINE CAUSES THEM TO

AS WILD GAME.

BERLIN, March 20.-That the high
prices in meat in Germany have driv.
en- some of the Kaiser's people to eat
ing dogs and cats as well as enormous
quantities of horse1esh is the start
ling revelation of the I'russian slaugn-
ter-house statistics published today.
In the course Of the past year 81 900
horses and 1922 days were butchered
for human consumption. The Prus-
sian report adds that the number Of
dogs reported is VIGOROUSLY far be-
low the number known to have been
actually killed for meat purposes.
Statistics as to cats eaten are not
available, but the statisticians essert
that the immense number of thefts
of feline pets, without doubt is due to
the prevailing custom of butchering
and selling them as rabbits. The in
crease in the number of dog thefts is
attributed to the same cause.
The price of meat is now wholly be-
yond the reach of the working classes,
but the government remains deaf to
the appeals to open the frontiers to
American and other products, though
such action would Immediately re-
Iieve the situation.

Deputies Locked Up by Mob.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March
Ed Johnson, col, was taken from
Jail at 1915 by mob of seventy-fve
men and hanged to a beam of the
county bridge over the Tennessee
River. The rope broke and the negro
fell and the mob quickly riddled him
with bullets. Sheriff Shipp and the
jailer were locked in a bath room
while the mob secured the prisoner
There was no disorder.
Johnson is the negro who was to
have been hanged today for criminal
assault on a young white woman, but
in whose case the United States Su.
preme Court granted an appeal, which
served as a stay of execution.
This action served to anger The cit
liens, and all day long there was
great excitement, and it was freely
talked on the street that violence
would result tonight. Early in the
evening the mob began to form and
it was all done so quickly and quietly
that only those in the immediate vi
entity of the Jail knew when they
we're ready for action.

HIS sWEETHEARTS TWO.

One was the wife with the winsome
kiss,
One was the babe she bore;
These were bringers of all his bliss,
These were his life and more.
Out of the lagard the lion grew,
This was the luck of him;
Wooed by the wiles of his sweethearts
two,
Jenny and little Jim.
He who had dozed in the shining sun
Woke with sweet new thrill;
He with no record of duty done,
Reused with wish and will,
Reached to the plane of the higher
few,
This was the luck of him;
Lifted and led by his sweethearts two
Jennie and Little Jim.
Preacher nor priest could his soul en-
tice,
Yet was he lured to grace;
Saved by the blue of the baby eyes,
Saved by the fond embrace,
Day broke at last on the darkened
view,
This was the luck of him,
Charmed to the truth by his sweet
hearts two,
Jennie and Little Jim.
One was the wife with the winsome
kiss, =
One was the babe she bore;
Man may not know greater joy than |
his,
Angels may ask no more.
High Heaven beamed as he upward |
grew,
Blessing the luck of him,
loved into light by his sweethearts

WHY HE LIKED VENICE.

Marion Crawford gave recently a
dinner in Rome, and during the din
ner the talk turned to Venice.
There is young lady from Du-
luth,' Mr.. Crawford said, whom /
met one bright October morning in
Sorrento. She told me that she was
touring Italy with her father. She
said her father had liked all the Ital-
ian cities, but especially he had liked
Venice.

1T MADE A DIFFERENCE.

Congressman Morrell of Philadel.
phia, in an address to the national
guardsmen, told a story illustrating
the complications of civil and military
life in the citizen soldiery. Mr.. Nor
rell was colonel of the Third Pennsyl-
vania. He said:
"My regiment was marching down
Broad street in the van of an i'm
mense and magnificent parade, when,
near Walnut street, it became neces-
sary to push the people back a little.
The ropes had broken at this point
and the people, quite Internationally,
encroached on the line Of parade.
Il assigned handful of young pri-
Yates to help the police handle the
crowd, and one private, stationed near
me, I kept an eye on. He got every
body back except a fat man. This
person did not move.
Private, said /, put that fat man
back
He says he can't get back, the
crowd is pushing him So the private
answered.
Put your musket butt in his
chest said I, and force him back.
You are the stronger

the stronger, but he's the foreman of

says the Hobart News-Republican.

HE is like the military captain they

This man came to Concord with a
war record, and got captains ap-

He was a marinet. The first day
he reviewed his company he examin-
ed every hair on their heads, every
button on their coats. 1t was an
ordeal for him.
''0n the whole the captain was pleas
ed with his inspection. One thing dis
satisfied him, though. His men all
had clean-shaven upper lips. Some
had side-whiskers, some had mutton
chops, some had COATES, some had
patriotic chin boards. There was not
one who had a mustache.

company in short speech, and con-
cluded by saying.

BE ERECTED.

A monument to perpetuate the
memory of Joseph Jefferson, from the
chisel of William Frederick MacMon-
ME, the sculptor, will be erected in
Central Park within a year, says a
special to the New York Telegraph.
The design of the monument will
consist of a heroic figure in bronze of
Mr.. Jefferson in the character of Rip
Van Wrinkle. The cost of the entire
structure, including a handsome gran
tie base, will amount to more than
$4,000.
The committee behind the move
ment to thus create a material re-
hinder of the art and personality of
the great actor is composed OF men
prominent in finance, society and the
stage Many of them were intimate
friends of Mr.. Jefferson. The idea of
erecting the monument originated
with James w. Morrissey, who has re-
ceived the full authority and the best
wishes of Charles B. Jefferson, the ac-
tors son, to proceed with the work.

Berkman at large, has employed a de-

AFTER YOUNG TIMBER.
Second Growth Timber on Vancouver
Island Is I'm Demand.

All the ground logged over on this
coast from two to 25 years ago, is not
valueless in the eyes of timber men
now, though the first corners denuded
1t of the large and valuable fir trees,
says a Victoria dispatch. This fact
is evidenced by the stalking of some
25 square miles of limits recently on
the Sechelt peninsula Cor which the
stakers will pay the provincial gov
ernment $40 year for each claim
under the terms of a special license
The limits staked at Sechelt lie on
the inner side OF the peninsula. All
the ground they covered was logged
about 25 years ago, and the big fir
timber removed. At the present time
the land carries second growth fir,
some spruce and a large quantity of
hemlock. 1t is reported that the
hemlock attracted the attention of
American capitalists, who were in the
market for timber suitable for the
Manufacture of box lumber.
The hemlock is said to be of very
good quality and for the manufacture
of boxe sit is of greater value than
the hemlock being used in the east
for the purpose.

DROUGHT DRIVES
SHEEP To VALLEY
OVER 10000 HEAD ON
PASTURE IN YAKIMA
Hills Are Dry and Ranges Depleted
Demand for Alfalfa Pasture Increas-
ing as Winter Approaches-Good
Ewes Are Now Selling at S5 Per
Head.

The Yakima Republic prints the
following interesting account OF sheep
market and conditions in Yakima
county:
owing to the lack of rain in the
Yakima valley 10000 head of sheep
are now pasturing in the Sunnyside
country and about this many more
are scattered out in other parts OF
the valley.
This means that the sheep are feed
ing off the alfalfa fields and that the
farmer is getting the benefit If win
ter comes on without rain to start the
grass on the hills there will be an in
creased demand for alfalfa hay for
winter feeding. The sheep now In
Sunnyside on pasture are being put
in condition for the markets of the
east and the northwest.
Ewes are now selling at $5 a head.
This is a big price for sheep, but when
II is considered that ordinary spring
lambs will bring from SO to $3.50 per
head and the wool on n grown sheep
from $1.50 to so. the investment now
being made in sheep appear to be a
pretty good one.
The prospect for the price keeping
up in the future is good and the fu-
ture for wool Is bright. The market
quotation is now Is cents. but there Is
an upward tone I'm the Boston market
which may send the price to the 20
cent mark. The largest amount of
wool in the state of Washington in one
lot is held by Coffin Bros, on their
large ranch near Trinidad. There are
100000 pounds in this lot and If 1t is
not soon sold at that place 1t will be
sent to the Boston market.
This firm has now 10000 head of
ewes running on the Chelan county
ranch, but as the firm is about to
close a deal for the sale of the prop
erty they are offering the ewes for
sale. The firm this week shipped from
Trinidad 10000 lambs to st. Paul
where they will be grain fed and sent
to the Chicago market The firm has
bought 1900 head of sheep in Idaho
which will be shipped here and pas
tured.
Mrs. Frank II. Rudkin. who owns a
ranch near Yakima City, has bought
1000 head of thoroughbred Lincoln
ewes from the above firm, paying s5
each for them. She will place them
on her ranch for breeding purposes
Charles Longmire has also bought
1000 head at the same figure to be
placed on his farm for breeding pur-
poses.
The Ernest Berg sheep company

ers to Carstein Bros of Seattle. These
sheep brought $3.50 head.
