ut is late"-Cousin Grace spoke cold
ly-"and if we are to find spring beau
ties we must go on" She rose as she
spoke and gave him her hand
So you went on, although the bright
ness of the spring day had departed
went on and left Mr. Ned throwing out
his line and whistling cheerfully.
And then you came to the little path
that had unfolded itself before your
minds eye. path that pushed through
the alders and willows and stretched
over tiny threads Of water that wan
dered away from the little stream.
1t was there that you found them,
clusters of spring Beauties" raising
their delicate flower faces from the
muddy ground. You dropped on your
knees beside them. You laid your face
softly against them, going from cIus-
ter to cluster in an ecstasy of delight.
Not until you had plucked a handful
Of the frail stalks did you remember

then you rose slowly to your feet
In the middle of the path stood Cous-

crying, for her eyes were still wet, but
she looked beautiful now and was
smiling as Mr. Ned held her hands and
looked down at her.
"You would not listen to me. l had

said, land anyhow wasn't so far out

delight. You did not understand how

Grace was the beautiful princess, and

Wide eyed and happy, you confronted
them, while the pale "spring beauties

1t is hard to say offhand how many
thrones the Russian emperor has, says
a writer on 1.-THE Thrones of Europe"
The three chief ones are those at the
Imperial palace and the Winter pal
ace at st. Petersburg and in the Krem-
lin at Moscow. This last was a pres
ent to the Gar Alexis In 1860 from the
shah of Persia. 1t is entirely covered
with thick plates of gold set with pre-
cious stones and alternating with
plaques Of ivory chiseled in high relief.
The fact and date of the presentation
are recorded In an inscription ON the
back of the throne. Just above are
glistening double headed eagles Of Rus
STA, with angels on either side support
ing the imperial crown. In the Impe-
rial palace at st. Petersburg the throne
stands In an alcove of the marble
throne room, with a wide stretching
canopy with thick gold cords and deep
fringes of gold embroidery. On the
curtains behind are embroidered the
arms Of the Romanoffs surmounted by
the crown, with a curious star shaped
border all round Three wide steps
lead up to the throne.

Money and Kisses

A man living for the time being In
Columbus and who is in the habit of
giving his wife a generous roll of bills
the first day of every month for her pin
money complained the other day that
she owed him $3.50 for acting as her
caddie while on the golf links during a
visit to the sunny south. She demurred,
but asked if he would be willing to
take the pay in kisses. Although a
Benedict of long standing, he still
adores his wife, and he agreed to this
method of payment.
While they We're at breakfast on the
first day Of the following month he
drew out his pocketbook and began
counting out various bills of large de-
nomination, while she, with hand out
stretched, waited eagerly for the roll,
remarking that her last months allow
ance was all spent
wait a moment" he said. 81 be-
lieve I'll give you kisses instead" And
the money was stuffed back in his
pocket, much to her dismay
1t is only fair to say, however, that
later she received both money and
kisses.-Columbus Dispatch.

SPRING

No answer.
'Uncle Johnr'
"Um-hm." He did not put down
his paper, but you knew he was listen
ing.
do you s'pose any spring beauties
have blossomed yet, Uncle JohnP
Slowly he lifted his eyes and turned
his head to the window. A ray of
warm spring sunshine slanted across
the bare branches of the old elm; al
ready the lawn was tinted here and
there with green. You waited ex-
pectantly, your hand on Guys great
black head.
''Too early" and Uncle John disap-
peared again behind the folds of his
paper. At no time was Uncle Johns
conversation likely to be adorned with
any unnecessary words.
You sighed and stood looking out of
the window, a wistful, disappointed
little girl; looking while the huge New
foundland dog beside you pushed his
cold nose against your hand and licked
your fingers with his great. rough
tongue; looking while the budding ma
pie bough beckoned and the million
tiny little voices of spring called to
you and lovely little path bordered
with sweet flower faces, unfolded It,
self invitingly before your minds eye.
You could stand it no longer. With
happy little cry you ran out of doors
and raced with Guy along the path.
Breathless and rosy you halted to I'M
latch the gate. Out of the corner Of
your eye you saw the front door open,
but you pretended not to notice, not
even when Uncle Johns warning voice
fioated to you down the pathway:
you'll get your feet wetp
On you went, the spring echoes in
your ears, the spring sunshine in your
eyes, to find your way suddenly block
ed by figure in front Wonderingly
you took your eyes from the glory of a
newly leaved maple to see why the fig
ure so obstinately stood in one place.

Once there was young Boetian who
had money. One day he looked at his
clothes, Of which he had great many,
and he saw that they needed to be
brushed and folded, so he told his serv-
ant to do it for him. Then he went
downstairs and noticed that all his
manuscripts were In disorder, so he
hired a man to sort them out and to
make list Of them. Next he went to
the stable and found one of his horses
sick, so he asked man to get him an
other one. The other horse needed ex-
ercise, so he engaged a groom to ex-
ercise the horse.
He looked at puppy which he had
and said, why, it's time that puppy
was trained to find Birds" so he sent
the puppy away to man to be taught
Then he went into the house and
yawned. Dear me-" said he, chow
dull it is with nothing to dol wish I
had something to do"
The Boetians were barbarians.-

these woodland strolls with you"
There was glimmer of admiration
In his eyes as she stood on the gray,
moss covered rock, her slim figure
reaching up to the deep green Of the
chestnut bough. She gathered the last
bur within her reach and threw it at
him energetically.
THAT is for you to keep as a souve-
mir" she commenced, but her voice
broke In gasp Of alarm as she lost
her footing on the messy rock and fell
on the ledge below
Jarvis, his face anxious and white,
lifted her gently, and her head fell on
his shoulder.
He gazed helplessly until the stiffness
of the woods grew oppressive.
My dear; oh, my dear" he said anx-
iously, putting his cheek against hers,
IF you would only open your eyes
your beautiful eyes"
The corners of her mouth betrayed
her to an involuntary smile. She gave
him one look, then put her head back
on his shoulder
I'm not hurt-much." There was a
mixture Of emotions in the mirth Of
her voice. But do so love to hear you
say that, and told you that neither a
bur nor a bachelor was hard to man
age-if one knew how"

Brief, but to the Point.

A young fellow at college wrote to
his uncle, on whom he entirely depend
ed:
My Dear Uncle-Ready for the needful
Your affectionate nephew.
The uncle replied:
My Dear Nephew-The needful Is not
ready. Your affectionate uncle.
1t is pleasant that affection should
survive pecuniary embarrassments, as
it did in the case of Samuel Foote'S
mother and himself:
My Dear Sam-I am in prison for debit

his duty being paid to his loving mother

A nobleman was deeply in love with

at crowded ball, and as he could not
get an opportunity of talking to her
he contrived to slip into her hand a
piece of paper with the two words,
"Will your" written upon 1t.

Coming to His Title.

Titles have rarely been conferred up
on native Americans by European SOW
ereigns, but several have succeeded
to titles by inheritance. One of these
was Sir John Davie, the first town
clerk of Groton, Conn, who was grad
uated at Harvard in 1851. The story
of his reception Of the news Of his
succession to baronetcy is told In the
pages of 'In Old Connecticut"
One day Davie was hoeing corn on
the plains in company with John Pack
er, a neighbor, both men In homespun
and barefooted, with their sleeves roll
ed up to their elbows and their trousers
up to their knees, when a stranger
clad in the latest London fashion ap-
peared and asked the official if he were
John Davie.
yes" was the reply.
"Then l salute you, Sir John Davie
of Greedy Park, Devon said the Wis
itor.
Tradition says that the new baronet
finished his row-he was hoeing on a
wager with his fellow work er-then he
accompanied his visitor to the brown
homestead, treated him to cake and
wine and learned the whole story
how his uncle, Sir John Davie, Bart,
had died without male issue, leaving
his nephew sole heir.
In short time the Poquonock farm
er exchanged the brown farmhouse for
an English estate. He never forgot
his native land, however, and always
retained his interest In Groton He
aided the settlers to build their new
church and when it was finished pre-
sented it with a silver communion set
He also made gifts to his relatives and

"She Isn't Me-"

A woman was waiting for her sister
in railway station when gentleman,
looking for his wife and misled by a
general resemblance in figure and
clothing, stepped up behind her and,
laying his hand on her shoulder, ex-
claimed, Thank goodness, Emma, it's

be really hers, which made the sudden
familiarity even more startling. She
jumped nervously. You're mistaken,

thin, her one beauty a thick braid Of
red gold hair that she wound about
her head like a coronet.
