Preparing for Kaiser.

Queen Alexandra Is taking the great
est interest in the preparations that are
being made at Windsor for the reception
and accommodation Of the German en-
peror and empress, and has forwarded
several directions from Copenhagen as to
the manner In which the apartments as
signed to their majesties shall be fur
nished and decorated. Upon her return
the queen will pay flying visit TO Wind
sOr to see that her instructions have been
carried out and how far further altera-
tons or notifications may be necessary.
The apartments to be occupied by the
kaiser are what is known the tapestry
suite. where some of the finest paintings
In the castle are to be found The en-
press VIII occupy somewhat smaller
suite adjacent, while the ladies and gen.
temen in attendance upon their ma Jes-
ties will be close at hand The suites of
both the emperor and the empress are
quite sclf-contdined and are entirely shut
off from the rest OF the castle: special
dining room for their majesties' private
use is being fitted up. together with
larger one for their suites, while very
handsome room overlooking the terrace,
with the great park in the distance. is
being converted into a boudoir for the
empress.
1t is not generally known that when
ever Queen Alexandra visits Copenhagen
she finds reserved for her the same suites
Of rooms in the King Christian palace
that she occupied girl before her
marriage. Nothing has been altered. the
furniture Is of the same pattern as OF
old, hanSings and pictures are the same

he wondered at that her majesty still re-
fers to this affectionately as her home"
This rule is followed in the case of every
member of the Danish royal family. Her
majesty, the former Empress OF Russia
and the Duchess of Cumberland still re-
tain their old suites of apartments in the
King Christian palace, while the King Of
Greece finds his old apartments in the
AmalicnboTg palace still at his disposal.
Even the present King OF Denmark con-
tinuCs to occupy the same rooms in the
Am&lieuborg that he did when crown
prince. and has never moved into the
wing occupied by the late King Chris

THERE WAS A MAN

There was man III our town
Who marked a silver coin;
He took it to the butcher shop
And bowed it in for loin.
He went to work again next day
And to his great delight
That very coin had made its way
Back to his purse that night.
lie took ii to dry goods store
And bought his wife a frock;
But back it came to him again
Next night at six o'clock.
He BOUGHT his boy suit one day,
Like Buster Browns, but plain;
The next time that he drew his pa,
That coin came back again.
He took it to the office Of
The Topic III Titonkay
And paid the editor thereof
4 years subscription promptly
But ere another week elapsed
Strange as my story seems,
The silver coin once more he claspeS
And showed it in his jeans.
And every time he paid It out
To merchants here at home,
That silver coin would wheel about
And back to him 'twould come.
Alas, Alas Thus prudent man
In thouohtless mood, one day,
Sent off an order for a can
OF syrup they say.
To mad order house down east,
The name | can't recall:
1t seems to me it sounded like
Queers. Sawbuck. Saw & All.
And with the order he inclosed
The dollar here and then,
And sent it off to pay the bill
1t ne'er showed up again.

MAKING EXHAUSTIVE

ongh alantical study of the negro as
a slave and as a freeman.
Mr.. Stone is a son of Hon. w. w.

auditor. and now member of the state
senate from Washington County. He
is practical business man and for
the past ten years has been thor
oush, impartial and candid student of
the economic development growing
Que OF negro slavery, and the work
or the negro under conditions of free
dom.
The task undertaken by the young
Mississippian is one of considerable
difficulty. He has outlined a treat-

tive. relating to the economic lite

passing on either the political or So
