The Judge turned to the crown coun

Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drinker

Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drin<er.
There is an amusing letter written
by the Earl of Leicester to Lord Bur-
leigh as to the lack Of sufficiently
strong ale for the queen at Hatfield.
'"There is not one drop Of good drink
for her here. We we're fain to send
to London and Kenilworth and divers
other places where ale was. Her own
beer was so strong as there was no
man able to drink it." Ale and bread
were the chief items Of the royal
breakfast. The quantity Of ale con-
sumed by ladies at breakfast in those
days was considerable, for in the reign
Of Henry VIII. the maids of honor
were allowed for breakfast lone Chef
loafe, one manchet, two gallons of ale
and pitcher of wine." A Lady Lucy
made a mighty tonic Of the national
brew. Her breakfast was chine of
beef, loaf and gallon of ale, and
for her pillow meal a posset porridge,
a generous cut of mutton, a loaf and a
gallon of ale.-Westminster Gazette.

HOPEFUL Of TIE FUTURE
Hartman Discusses Possibility OF q
Money Panic.


Chicago. Oct. 1S.-"Money Is like
liquid, The moment you place an
obstruction in front Of it 1t causes a
diminution of the fow."
This IS one of the new financial
aphorisms to which Edward H. Harrt-
man gave utterance when he was
asked to express his ideas upon the
future Of the country.
This obstruction" said the Ma
poleon Of the railroad world" has
been placed In front of the liquid
stream of money and 1t has already
caused serious check In it's flow
This obstruction is the apprehension
which has run like a prairie fire
throughout the length and breadth of
the land and has permeated the minds
of the people. This apprehension
has been caused partially, II not en-
tirely. by the agitation against cor
porations in general and railroads In
particular and it will last until the
people awaken to the fact that we
must have saner comprehension
upon these important subjects"
Asked If he looked for any serious
effect from the rapidly changing con-
ditions In the financial and railroad
world Mr.. Hartman replied:
mo, I do not. I think the country
Is too great and too prosperous to
have a money panic. should rather
think that instead of heading toward
panic we are entering natural and
healthy period of reaction. If we 60
through 1t safely, and I am certain
that we shall do so, we will sail
smoothly and calmly into more mod
crate times, when we shall live slower
and Surer and saner."

A StinQy kinq.

In the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the now so powerful German
empire was nothing more than the lit
tie kingdom of Prussia, having just
dropped it's title Of duchy of Branden
burg. The country was very poor and
the military discipline very harsh.
Frederick William I. was hard, cross
and stingy and did not even know
what twas to make present. His
reputation was so widely spread that
it became byword to say that a man
had worked for the king Of Prussia
when he had done an improbable task.
