Supply Evenings
Amusement.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Kaiser enjoyG
a game OF skat as well as any one o;
his humblest subjects. and he has insti-
tuted select parties at the palace for
card parties He invites on these Occa-
siOns chiefly veteran generals and min
listers. The evenings amusement begins
by a repast. which by no means can be
called royal. and consists OF herrings,
butter, potatoes, and beer.
The points played are not very high,
but then the Kaiser is universally
known for his frugality. and one could
not expect MIN 10 play for high stakes
for his amusement, whatever he may do
politically. The points never rise to
more than one pfennig. His majesty
gets very angry when mistakes are
made. but ne does not mind losing as
much as one would think. When he
wins. his majesty is always in high
good humOr
The midnight hour always brings an
end 70 the party. even II the game then
IN progress is not quite finished.

But Gets Excited if Things
Go Wrong.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Princess Christian,
who IS the hardest worked member of
the royal family in the cause Of charity,
has a very quick temper and does not
hesitate TO show it when things go
wrong.
Her royal highness was persuaded 10

In the west End. AS usual, che arrived
very punctually TO find that the princi-
pal. who was supposed to receive her.
was not there and that none Of the
invited guests had arrived
She walked straight TO the large
thronelike chair left for her. sat down
for a few minutes. aid when the agi-
tated princess finally arrived arose IN a
majestic way. told her gentleman in
waiting TO order her carriage. and swept
down the stairs just as the guests came
trooping up.
The principal tore down after her, but
all the satisfaction he got was a very
cold bow and a polite good morning In
such a case as this Princess Louise.
Duchess of Argyll, who is a true Bo-
hemian. would have made a joke Of the
matter ard would have probably sent
for cup Of tea while She was waiting.

KING DEMOCRATIC
UNLESS IMPOSED ON
Lily Langtry Was Last One
to Attempt Liberty With
Edward VII.

Much has been written in society
papers lately about the romping and
horse play that goes on in country
houses where members Of the smart set
are guests Nothing of the kind ever
occurs during the Kings frequent visits
to country homes, and naturally undig-
nified pranks are never allowed at Sand
bingham.
Although King Edward has an easy,
good-natured manner, no one dares 20
take the slightest liberty with him. The
last To attempt it was Mrs. Langtry
(now Lady de Bathe), who on a memoir
able occasion put an ice down the royal
back. That was when his majesty was
only the Prince of Wales, but ne has
never forgiven the beautiful actress.
JObbery in royal introduction is an
other thing his majesty will not tolerate.
A lady in the Kings set lost her posi-
ton there when IT was found that She
had Nbeen selling Introduction to the
King. Nevertheless. the King never al
lows himself 20 be In the least naughty
or exclusive when i'm society. He be-
HAYES just like an ordinary guest, and
only becomes a king when some indis-
Greet person attempts 10 presume on his
democracy.

PRINCES LEARNING
TO Be MOTORISTS
Edward and Albert of Wales
Taught Repairing
Secrets.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-The two eldest
sons Of the Prince of Wales viii soon
be capable chauffeurs. Princes Edward
and Albert are being instructed in the
art OF driving an automobile. and even
taught how to repair a slight break
down.
Their father has bought a light car for
them. and engaged as their tutor in au-
tomobiling very clever chauffeur. who
finds thesyOung princes extremely apt
pupils.
Although they have not been allowed
TO take their car out on the public road,
which they are anxious 10 do, the little
royal motorists are proficient in nego-
tiating the park drives at Sandringham.
Prince Edward has been privileged, TO
his immense pride, to take his grand
father. King Edward, on a spin down
the main drive.
King Edward has just had his first
ride in a public automobile cab 1t was
TO keep an appointment for luncheon
with some old friends that he chartered
the public auto. because he had been
detained with business at Buckingham
Palace until the servants dinner time.
His majesty would not have the chauf-

from the neighbOring tsand.
The King sometimes charters a four
wheeled cab when he wishes to make a
quiet little excursion In town, but has
never used a hanson since he had an
accident in one.
King Edward resembles the legendary
King Cole in his fOrdness for a pipe
He thinks a brier pipe is the finest form
Of smoking, and his regret is that he
cannot stick 10 ii. His majesty ono,
expressed this preference TO some in

OF a long court function he has an al
most irresistible craving TO seek peac.

Good Roads

There is only one way to get good roads and drainage and that is to invest labor and money in road building and ditching To do this there must be all agree. ment as to some feasible plan, as they cannot be built by having 8 dozen or more plans.
 The first thing to be done is to get our own consent that we are going to have roads and drainage, regardless of all lethargy, opposi- ton, or any other obstacle which might present itself When this is done then the work IS practi- cally half done. Few people know the worth of a strong de- termination. When the masses have determined to build good roads they will be built, and that in very short time.
 Now, how long will 1t be be- fore the farmers and others viii call general meeting and all come together and pledge them selves that good roads is now necessary. Money and labor in vested in good roads will pay large dividends. People in other countries enjoy good roads and drainage, and we are as gcod and wise as they, and let us deter mine to have them.
 You say that We must have them, and will have them.
 When?
 Now?
 Now is the accepted time!
 Will we ever be any nearer to that point than now unless we begin?
 Echo answers No!"
 People from other sections are not going to come here with their money and build roads for those who do not try to help themselves. Neither do you ex- pect them to, either.
 You say with your own lips that you want good roads and drainage, and if this is true will you invest your time, money and labor to get them?
 If you do not mean what you say, you will continue to do as yon have in the past-nothing

Blanche Walsh.

Blanche Walsh and her specially Sc
lected company direct from the Astor
theatre, New York, will be the attrac-
ton at the Salt Lake theatre on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday evenings,
with Saturday matinee. Her tour,
since leaving Broadway. has been
succession of triumphs for herself and
for The Straight Road which is
Clyde Fitch's new play. From the first
appearance of Miss Walsh in a wild
hurly-burly that sweeps into a stun
mission. until the great dramatic climax
of the third act, the audience is said 10
be held spell-bound. The theme of the
play is the redemption of a girl of the
slums, not inherently evil. but who is
endangered by her evil environment.
Strong, vivid and dramatic as THE
Straight Road is the story it tells is
absolutely simple. A mission worker
seeks to upraise Il girl of the slums
She succeeds, but in the height of her
success the Stun girl finds that her pro-
tector of TIE mission is about to marry
a man unworthy of her. She wants to
open the eyes of her patron. and the
way is presented when she agrees to
meet the man at her home. He en-
braces her and is caught in the act by
his betrothed. The third act, which is
intense in its realistic situation, treats
of this meeting. But in a thoroughly
unexpected and unusual manner, Mol
O'Hara proves her own worth and the
of the man. saves her
patron and is herself vindicated.

1t is seldom good that one should
undertake any vocation very easily
sweetly or without strife. The best
apprenticeships, whether ecclesiastical
or religious. civil or military. or po-
litical or artistic, are never the most
calm. Whether we study the lives of
saints or of those distinguished in any
walk of human endeavor, where per-
lection, in some form or other, has
been at least the goal, we always find
that the first years of the pursuit have
been one bitter history of temptations,
doubts, dependencies, struggles and
agoniZing Inconsistencies of volition.
To natures cold originally. or extin-
guished by false asceticism, many
seeming acts of sacrifice are but the
subtle indulgence of that curious self
ishness which is not the more spiritual
because it is Independent of others, or
less repulsive because it is most con-
tented in its isolation from every re-
sponsibility.-Mrs.C raigie.
