no luxuries whatever. The MARQUIS
of Lorne, however, managed to SNUG
gle some fascinating dolls into the
hands of the princess, and as the
youngest of the family she enjoyed a
few privileges which were denied to
her sisters.
The simple training of early days
nay have been responsible for her
ayowed dislike to all ceremony. So
entirely unaffected is her manner
that on more than one occasion people
have been entirely deceived by it. For
instance, stolid official once declined
to allow her to say goodbye" to the
kaiser when he was leaving Wolferton
station, being unable to believe that
the young lady in the simple tailor
made dress, and whom he had seen
driving TO the station in a dog cart,
could be a princess.
On another occasion, when she was
cycling in one Of .the royal parks, she
was stopped by a conscientious police
man who felt considerable nervous
ness when he discovered later the
identity of the bicycling trespasser. It
is also related, with what truth it is
difficult to say, that at one time, when
under the assumed name of Miss
Mills. she was staying with an old
friend, youthful clergyman. imagin-
ing he. to be young lady of his own
station, fell seriously in love, and one
day startled her by proposal.
Open-air sport of all kinds attracted
her from her earliest days When quite
young she was a plucky rider, and
used to set her brothers, Prince
George and the late Duke of Clarence,
lively pace.
Though the open-air life has always
been the one of her choice, she is a
hard reader, and is also to be included
in the list of royal authoresses. In
Denmark much of her time was given
to writing, and under the nom de
plume of Graham Irving she was
the author of one play.
1t has often been confidently stated
that on two occasions the prospective
crown of an heir-apparent was laid at
her feet in vain, and more than one
minor potentate would have been glad
to have remained in England as the
accepted wooer of the kings youngest
daughter.

FOR DAM AT KILBoURN.
Phillip l.. SpOOner Announces that
Old Structure VIII Be Replaced.

ohu structure VIII BE Keplaced.
Philip l.. Spooner of Madison has no
tilted United States Engineer W. V
Judsen of his intention, subject to APP
prevail of the War Department, to re-
construct the wooden crib dam on the
Wisconsin river near Kilbourn. The
dam will be built of concrete and when
finished will have capacity of 5000
horse power. The Mayor of hilbourn
and f23 citizens in and about the city
have signed petition favoring the re-
construction of the dam without locks,
and the Hilbourn people also have with
drawn their objections to the closed
bridge at Portage, which is being erect
cd to replace the wooden structure blown
down last summer. The present dam
at Kilbourn was erected in 1895 and par
italy destroyed by the floods of 1896.
No repairs have since been made on it.
The purpose of Mr.. Spooner is to en-
ploy the water power of the dam to
generate electricity to light the city OF
Portage and to sell power to man~ac'
turing plants at Kilbourn and along the
Wisconsin river between Kilbourn and
Portage.

Who ever heard Of a woman hav-

RAILROADS PAY BACK TAX.
Result of New Wisconsin Law Is Be-

Under law passed at the special ses-

the State loses the difference between
the present assessed tax and the old
license fee figures will be refunded.
