The incident would have been a god

Even in June there were leaders, let

Daily Chronicle devoting half it's liter

island capital, which the new Pail
Mall, in a leading article headed by a
pun, advised the government to blow

poor but not dishonest quill at the
time, and the topic of the hour goaded
me into satiric verse which obtained
a better place than anything l had yet
turned out. I had let my fiat in town

Character of Engtand's King.

The character of King Edward,
while Prince of Wales, appears to
have been greatly misunderstood.
Many scandals were laid at his door;
many journalists and prominent writ
ers found themselves unable to resist
temptation of making him the theme
of extravagant stories without foIn-
dation, or at best based only upon
hearsay evidence.
While making no pretence to be-
ing a saint, his morals were neither
better nor worse than the majority OF
his countrymen and it was precisely
that fact that endeared him to them.
The great influence that no other
Prince possessed, and which was pos
sessed by him in a superlative degree,
was very largely due to his remarka-
BILE tact
Thanks mora to him than to any
other, hard drinking. CO -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 d their
right to remain within their pale,
and no woman of questionable ante
cedents could with his sanction con-
sort with ladies or with innocent
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
few of the French authors were ac-
customed to send him their first
copies.
LIS 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 vir
tues and ability become brighter and
greater.

Eome for, The Phi1inines.

I've been thinking, s'nca our boy returned
to us one morning.
And in spite of all our doubts and fears
he stood before our view,
What was written by a friend of his. so
cheerily and brightly,
mot to ever trouble trouble till troubIe
troubles you"
The lad returned in safety, spite of chills
and spite of fever,
Spite of all the many dangers of t 'znd
and of the sea,
Spite of anything we dreaded, spite Of
faith evinced by neither;
Hereafter let no trouble trouble you nor
trouble me;
For when the skies are darkest and a
threatened storm surrounds US,
Shutting out the glorious sunlight from
our nearer sighted view,
Then appears the "slver lining'' that on
every cloud is shining;
So never trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you.
That every back is fitted for the burden
that is given
Is saying trite, if ancient, while it's
always proven true,
And If the burdens grevous, the good
Lord will arrange 1t
That the trouble will be gone before the
trouble troubles You.
"Tis shown that both our hopes and fears
are half anticipation,
For midnight terrors vanish with the
earlv morning dew.
And when the night is darkest the dawn
IS Just abreaking:
Then don't ever trouble trouble till trou,
BILE troubles you.

Someone whispered neryously to a
neighbor. One or two men lifted their
heads and drew quick breaths. People
glanced from side to side, and few
feet shufiled 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 a
larger, rolling cloud. The effect was in

into rocking unwieldly sections, each
pushing, fighting, tearing towards the
nearest exit.
In the middle of the house, very

Washington society. The wpman'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 rcveral
months after their marr.agS .e foun
his wife lying dead in room in their
house, the poor girl having died of a
broken heart. Although deeply at
tached to his wife, he was struck with
admiration by her devotion to his rival,
and when she was buried in the family
lot in Rock Creek Cemetery, he COM
missioned st. Gaudens, the sculptor, to
make bronze statue of heroic size,
depicting her as she was found, dead
and covered with her bathrobe.
The figure of the woman is seated,
with the bathrobe drawn about her,
and the work is one of great strength.
The bronze is surrounded by marble
beautifully carved. In front of it is a
long marble seat, where one may ad-
mire the work of art. No name marks
the spot, but at each corner of the lot
is small marble block, about six
inches square, with the letter "a"
carved in the top. The entire lot is
surrounded by a dense growth of pine
trees. so that one not familiar with the
spot looks in vain for the figure.

FEAT OF AMATEUR ROBBER.
Met With Entire Success in Separa-

If man who was robbed of a gold
watch in Chicago, under peculiar con
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.. Alien recently bought revolver

who have feeced 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 feeling Of
much satisfaction.
Tie approach to the subway was
dimly lighted by single lamp He
plunged into the cavern and walked
through. A figure dimmed the exit
and as the two men met, the roar of
passing trains startled them, and they
brushed each other in passing. A mo-
mont later Allen felt for his watch
It was not in his pocket He ran back

Allen followed and cornered him a

"I'il give you another chance" he
said, leveling his rev"lvar. 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.

THE WOMAN IN BRONZE.
Striking Figure of a Woman Who
Died OF Broken Heart.

A story of unrequited love is mutely
told in cold bronze and marble in one
of the cemeteries in the city of Wash
ington, D. c.
The story runs that beautiful
young woman, daughter of rich par
ents, fell in love with a poor and
struggling artist. The attraction was
mutual, but her family aspired to a
wealthy alliance. Finally, filial duty
won the day and the girl was led to
the altar by rich suitor. They lived
together for some time, and the bril-.
liancy of the match was the talk of

That is the manufacture and sale Of

under the name of the Semmes-

Mr.. Board came with us three

with a large manufacturing house in

long. We shall build soon another
stock shed for storing brick, 65 by 250
feet in dimensions, which will make
our total covered area for this pur-
pose more than 100, 600 square feet.
We handled over $500 carloads of
brick, clay, and coal last year and
will handle a much larger number
this year
The new catalogue that is about

an artistic way. The catalogue VIII

and is by far the most complete ever
issued by any brick company. It con-
tains many illustrations of nodded

shapes and sizes.
In the past the comrany's sales
men have not paid as much atten-
tiOn to the South as they will In the
future. Occasional visits have been
made to some of the South's most pro
gressive cities, but hereafter the field
will be well covered and at least one
man will be kept constantly on the
road. The company quite realizes
the growing wealth and importance
of that section and the beauty OF
many of its cities For this reason
we feel encouraged TO believe the hy-
draulic press brick will strorgly ap-

thoroughly screened TO remove every
impurity. When it is at last put
into the molds and subjected to a
hydraulic pressure Of more than
1000 pounds to the square inch, it
is capable Of a perfect hOuGecncttY.
The baking in the kilns is done in
the most careful way and under the
Watchful eyes of the cOmpany's eX-

is maintained for just the right pc

most rigid character removes the
imperfect bricks from the lot be-

business structure, hotel, or pri-

Practically every step in the man
ufacture of these bricks is carried
on by a patented and exclusive
process. which gives the company
a monODOly of its product. IhaC

this monopoly is evidenced by the
sweeping growth of the business
and the popularity OF the brick
