A Democratic Baby Princess.

The Princess Yolanda is a small
democrat in her way. One evening,
not long ago she was waiting for her
father and mother to come to dinner.
Her nurse asked her: Whom would
you like to have at dinner with you?
She hesitated for a moment, and then
said Il should like to have papa sit
there, and mama yonder. Brusati,
(the Kings aide-de-camp) may sit by
me, and on the other side l want
Giovanni"
Now, Giovanni is the man who leads
the donkey on which the Princess Yo-
landa takes occasional rides. She is
extremely fond of him, and counts
him one of her dearest friends In her
childish mind there was not the slight
est reason why he should not sit at
the Kings table as well as any titled
visitor.-From Felicia Buttz ClarlIs

Good Manners.

An ambassador of well-known Eu-
ropean monarch was riding in the
streets of Constantinople when one
of the Sultan's carriages rolled by.
Seeing it was guarded, his curiosity
got the better of him, and when the
carriage reached him he was daring
enough to peep in at the passenger.
He was surprised and panied to re-
ceive a blow In the face from an at
tendant in charge. Mad with rage,
he demanded audience of the Sui
tan.
The Sultan listened attentively, and
for moment appeared lost in thought.
At last he spoke: my dear, I
have gone carefully into the case and
see exactly how it stands. You are.
Of course, a gentleman, therefore you
would never have committed such a
breach of good manners as you al
lege to have taken place. Therefore
mo attendant could possibly have
struck you. The whole affair seems
to be a product of your fancy. Let
us dismiss It,"

Ants for Nursery pets.

Something original in the line of
children's nursery pets was imported
on the steamer Carmania, when David
Einstein arrived at New York recently
with a glass case filled with dark
earth in which million amber-color-
ed ants were engaged in building
themselves homes. Einstein explain
ed to the customs officials that the
ants were intended for his children'5
playroom, and offered to open the case
and show how intelligent his pets
were, but the inspectors were not risk
ing the escape of possible pests and
gave them free entry without any de-
monstration. The ants feed once a
month on honey and water and live
six years if they can be kept from dis
sipation.

"a Miss is As Good as a Miie."

We have all used the saying, "a
miss is as good as mile" yet it is
doubtful if any know the origin of
this proverb.
Before the days of the great
Charlemagne, when King Papin ruled
the Frankish Empire, there dwelt two
friends. Amis and Amile. According
to the story of Turpin, these men
were so strongly attached to each
other that Smile risked his life to
save the life and fortune Of Amis, and
later when Amile was suffering from
leprosy, Amis sacrificed his own
children in order that his friend might
be bathed in their blood and cured.
Thus came that peculiarly true
proverb Which will no doubt remaiD
with us until the end Of time.

A Strange Thing.

Almost the strangest thing I know
The strangest thing beneath the sun,
is that our Jack and Cousin joe
When they could have such royal fun,
Prefer to talk and talk ard talk,
Or sit and rest and dream and walk,
would rather read whole volumes through
with not soul to tell them TOD
Than do the things that they might do;
think it's very strange. Don't you!
Why, there are trees a man might climb,
And tear his trousers every time!
Or search for caves where giants hlde.
They might explore from side to side.
Ihey could be knights, and soldiers they,
- Instead Of hurryng away
10 the dull office where they stay
They could go fishing every day.
do you suppose when I'm a man
Il live on such a tiresome plan
Wnen with great dragons | can play
And meet fierce lions on my way!
NO, l will find a magic sword,
And | will take me to the ford,
And though in swarms the foe be poured
Ill drive them seward by the horde.

A story of Two Painters.

There is a story related by Hou-
braken, which may or may not be true
that Van Dycl, passing through Haar-
lem. where Halls lived, sent a messen-
ger to seek him out and tell him that
a stranger wished to see him, and on
Halls putting in an appearance asked
him to paint his portrait, adding, how
eves. that he had only two hours to
spare for the sitting. Halls finished the
portrait i'll that time, whereupOn his
sitter, observing that it seemed an
easy matter to paint a portrait, re-
uuested that he be allowed to try to
paint the artist. Halls soon recognized
that his visitor was well skilled in the
materials he was using. Great. how
ever. was his surprise when he beheld
the performance. He Immediately
embraced the stranger, at the same
time crying out: you are Van Dyck!
No one but he could do what you have
just now done!'
Assuming the story to be true, how
interesting it would be if the two por-
traits existed, that one might see
what Frans Halls, accustomed to the
heavier type of the Dutch burghers,
made of the delicately refined features
of Van Dyck, and how the latter who
always gave an air of aristocratic
elegance to his portrait, acquitted him
self with the bluff. joyial Halls, who

The Evils of CONSTIPATION

are many; in fact almost every serious
Illness has it's origin in constipation, and
some medicines, instead of preventing con-
stipation, add to it. This is true Of most
cathartics, which, when first used, have
beneficial effect, but the dose has to be
continually increased and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest effect.
There is one preparation, however, that
can be relied upon to produce the same
results with the same dose, even after
fifty years daily use. and this is Brand
reths Pills, which has a record Of over
100 years as the standard remedy for con-
stipation and all troubles arising from an
impure state of the blood.
Brandreths Pills arc the same fine lax
alive tonic pill your grandparents used
and can be found in every drug and medi-
cine store, either plain or sugar coated.
We can all be happy if we just
know how to go about being so.

places by students all over the state and
those who apply first viii set the places.
The presidents mail will be full Of applica-
tions as soon as it becomes generally known
