Character of EngIand's King.

The character of King Edward,
| while Prince of Wales, appears to
have been greatly misunderstood.
Many scandals We're laid at his door;
many journalists and prominent writ
| ers found themselves unable to resist
| temptation of making him the theme
of ~extrayagant stories without foun-
dation. or mt best based only upon
hearsay evidence.
While making no prctence to be-
ing a saint, his morals were neither
better nor worse than the majority of
his eountrymen and it was precisely
that fact hat endcared him TO them.
The great influence that no other
Prince possessed, and which was pos
sessed 10y him in Il superlatiye degree,
was very largely due to his remarka-
BILE tact.
Thanks more to him than to any
other, hard drinking. c" %ousals, coarse
and profane language went out of
fashion. He would tolerate in the
houses of respectable people no men
and women who had forfeit Il their
right to remain within their pale,
and no woman of questionable ante
cedents could with his sanction con-

girls. Few people had any idea how
well read he was. 1t was generally
reported that his reading was very
limited, and yet the reverse was true.
No new book of Importance. whether
in German, English or French, appear
ed that failed to receive his attention,
and many such were read and dis
cussed at Marlborough House before
their review appeared in print. Not
a few of the French authors were ac-
customed to send him their first
copies.
His faults, never grave or serious,
simply served to bring out in greater
prominence the many attractive
points of his character, and since his
accession to the throne even those
faults have grown less and his yir
tues and ability become brighter and
greater.

Someone whispered n~ervousIy TO
neighbor. One or two men lifted theil
heads and drew quick breaths. People
glanced from side to side. and a few
feet shuf1ed %uneasily. Then a tiny
puff of smoke came from the left
wing and travelled as far as the middle
of the stage. 1t was followed by q
larger, rolling cloud. The effect was in.
Simultaneous.
Fire shrieked a shrill voice, and
a woman started up frantically. Fire!
Fret"
In an instant the huge theatre was
a seething. swaying mass; from all
sides burst screams, sobs, and oaths.
For a few econds people were pushed
in purposeless groups hither and thith-
er. Then suddenly the crowd broke
into rocking unwieldly sections, each
pushing, fighting, tearing towards the
nearest exit.
In the middle of the house. very
still, sat a group of three. The Woman
was in the middle, the Husband on her
right, the Other Man on her left. For
the first few seconds 1t seemed as II
they must be swept off their seats.
Then with a quick movement, the
other Man wheeled half round on his
chair, put n hand on the back of
the Woman's seat and the other on the
seat before her. The Husband silent
ly followed his example. They were
both big. strong men. Their hands
met in a steady grip behind and In
front of her. Thus till the rush was
over they formed a human cage for
her protection. shUnting off by their
braced rigid frames, their crowding,
frantic neighbors.
THANK you" she said quitely, when
the middle of the theatre was deserted.
L couldn't have borne TO be touched
by such-animals." She gave a hur.
ried glance at the nearest mass of hui
manity and then fixed her eyes whim
slcally on the smoke-clouded stage IN
front. "What do they remind one Off"
she asked as though thinking aloud.

him to share the coat. Then suddenly
she laughed.

He did not answer. He was twisting

she said in a low voice.
He made no reply: he did not want

Washington society. The woman's
love, however, still went out to the
poor artist and her husband, who had
been informed of the peculiar state of
affairs, could do nothing to win his
wife's affection. All the gifts that
money could buy were showered upon
her, but to no purpose.
To his horror, one day several
months after their marriages He found
his wife lying dead in Il room in their
house, the poor girl having died of Il
broken heart. Although deeply at
tached to his wife. he was struck with
admiration by her devotion to his rival,

with the bathrohe drawn about her,

The bronze is surrounded by marble

the spot. but at each corner of the lot
is a small marble block, about six
inches square, with the letter A
carved in the top. The entire lot is
surrounded by n dense growth of pine
trees, so that one not familiar with the
spot looks in vain for the figure.

ably dressed woman, her face made
hideous by fear.
A sea of other faces, stamped with
every shade of terror and ferocity,
turned towards the stage at the cry.
For an instant the tumult sank to some
thing like silence. Hope and thankful
ness arose in a thousand breasts. Then
the tumult began again.
Its stuck, Oh. it's stuck!"-and the
fight for life continued in all its
~sickening cowardly savagery.
Have we any chance!" asked the
Woman simply. For a moment neither
answered. Then again it was the Other
Man who spoke.

And then suddenly the Husband
stood up. They both turned towards

trembled.

The Woman quivered as beneath

towards him, and she did not resist.
She was thinking shamefacedly of the

FEAT OF AMATEUR ROBBER.

ditions which he will recognize from
the recital of the adventure by the rob.
Der, will communicate with Hobart j.
Allen. of Irving Park, Chicago, he can
have back his timepiece, along with a
profuse apology.
Mr.. Allen recently bought a revolver
to protect himself from hold-up men
who have fleeced several victims in a
long subway under the Northwestern
Railway tracks. He was kept at his
business until quite late one night re
Gently, and starting home he put his
pistol in his pocket with a feeling of
much satisfaction.
The approach to the subway was
dimly lighted by a single lamp. He
plunged into the cavern and walked
through. A figure dimmed he exit.
and as the two men met, the roar OF
passing trains startled them, and they
brushed each other in passing. A mo-
ment later Allen felt for his watch.
1t was not in his pocket. He a back
through the subway and overlook the
other mar just az he was emerging.
Hand over that watch or I'll blow
your head off" he shouted. The man
leaped wei a stone abutment and ran.
Allen followed and cornered him a.
gainst a wall.
"I'll give you another chance" he
said, leveling his revolver. The man,
apparently too frightened to speak,
gave him the watch.
Allen went home and told his wife
OF his adventure.
why, your watch is in there on the
dresser: you didn't take it with you,'
she exclaimed. Now Allen is looking
for the man he held up.

An exchange says: All the require
ments necessary for the country school
teacher is to be a primary, intermediate
and high school teacher combined.
She must be able to rustic her own
kindling wood, build her own fires, ad-
just the fallen stovepipe, put in the
window panes that the boys break, mend
the broken desk, love the dull. unruly
pupil as she does the bright, ohedient
scholar, or at least give no evidence of
a different condition of affairs She
must be able to drive horse, spank
the unruly kids, keep the big boys from
making love to her. keep out of the
neighborhood rows and keep on the
good side of all the children in the
district. She must understand the
school laws and be able to interpret
them to the school board. She must
raise money for the school library, keep
all kinds Of records, plant trees on
Arbor day, be of irreproachable moral
character and pass an examination in
all the branches of modern education
in which half the college graduates ten
years from examination would funk
and in which an applicant for $3.50
year government position would fail
For all these varied plishments
for all this labor, the school teacher
gets $50 month and keeps herself until
somebody takes pity on her and finds
her. Out of this she is expected tc
blow in part each year in attending
the country normal TO fit herself more
thoroughly for the earning OF this
magnif cent salary.
