BY ADELE BARNEY WILSON,.

~ ONE ages ago,-a dozen perhaps
In tar-away land that is not
Ts ssd 1 !ysa young king whose riches
Were only surpassed by his youthful. So
He read and he studied when his work was all
done;
His wisdom and justice amazed every one
And money he spent with such careful inte1.
That the national debt reduced a cent
But in the whole kingdom complaining was rife.
Because the young king had ne'er taken wife
1T is all very well while he lives" the folk said,
But who will rule DER when he is dead?
Perhaps his proud cousin from over the ocean
Will make us his subjects-we don't like the
ton
We want him to give us son for his heir,
To whom allegiance forever II swear"
And one day they vowed they would go in a
To make known their grievance that hung like
cloud
And SO they drew up petition to carry
To the popular king to persuade him to marry.
The petition penned by learned committee
And signed by his subjects in country and city;
And when receive it the king had consented.
The ponderous scroll duly presented
He read it all once, then read it once more
The force of its logic he could no. ignore.
"Good people" he said, ito please you II wed,
And soon to the altar the bride shall be led;
"A wife and queen l We cause for refusing,
But II have my in the method OF choos-
ing"
Next morning the king took his usual ride,
His favorite courtiers close at his side;
Each high stepping steed with proud arching neck
A-quiver with life and impatient of check;
The laughter and singing, the bugle-cals ringing
The flowers that before them the children
lingng,
United in making gay a procession,
OF its beauty words give but feeble impression.

but deplorahly matterof-fact, and he took at least
two days to joke.
One day, just before school broke up for the

nouncement

the way for more earnest work next year, will

She trembled and blushed, quite unable to speak.
And her long lashes lay in fringe her cheek:
While proudly he led her out of the door,

Then on to the farms, where the vines and the

Transformed humble dwellings to fair floral bow

Some weeks had thus passed when the cavalcade
stood
In front of house at the edge of wood,
From whose shadows tripping shy little
maid,
Abashed by the splendor before her displayed;
And gasped with dismay at the very suggestion.

With heart wildly beating, she curtsied her greet

"He s seeking wife" her brain kept repeating.
And the king, who had looked grander
Said kindly: Dear maiden, pray grant a favor.

mouth. and official circles here con-
tinue TO scout the imputation that the
emperor tried TO influence Great Bri-
tain's naval plans.
The German government thinks that
the publication OF the letter would be
the best way to dissipate the excite
ment among certain classes in Eng
land. The government explicitly de-
clines, however. to believe that the ex-
cited utterances in the Times and sew
eral other British newspapers repre-
sent correctly the feeling of the Eng
lish people. Decisive action on the
part of the government apparently is
impeded by the emperor's absence ar
Wilhelmshaven.
The Observer points out that Lord
Esher, though an amateur naval ex-
pert, officially is deputy governor of
Windsor castle, and says that the en-
peror's letter, chiefly attacking Lord
Esher," suggested that 1T would be

A MEERscHAUM MINE.
louisville Courier-JOurnal)

''Meerschaum is mined like coal" SAID
a pipe dealer. Some people tell you il
is the foam of the sea. That, of course
is nonsense. Meerschaum is a soft, soap.
like stone and in Asia Minor its mining
is an important business.
1.-THE mines resemble coal mines, oniy
of course, there are a good deal paler
In their making pits are first dug anC
as soon as vein of meerschaum is
struck horizontal galleries are laid out
These galleries are often very long. They
vary in depth from twenty-five to 15C
feet
1.-THE crude meerschaum is called ham
fash. 1t is yellowish white in color, and
a red clay coat envelopes 1t. The blocks
as they come forth are sold on the spot
They cost from S25 to 500 a CARLOAD, ac-
cording to their quality. They are soft
enough to cut with knife.
These blocks before their expectation,
must be dried. In the summer they are
dried by direct exposure to the sun. in
five or six days. In the winter a heated
room is necessary. and the drying process
then takes twice as long.
FINALLY the meerschaum blocks are
sorted into twelve grades. called best
fine good. fair average and so on
down. They are wrapped in cotton then
and packed in cases with the greatest
care.
1.-THE bulk of all this meerschaum goes
to Vienna. There the best pipemakers in
the world live

HAD CACHED THEIR GRUB
Ogden Police Locate Rendezvous of
Supposed Gang of Thieves, but
Birds Had Flown.

Following up the clew obtained by Of
ficer Hadlock on Friday, when he and
another officer fell into. the icy waters
OF the Ogden river, the police yesterday
located what is supposed to be the hab-
ltatlon OF a gang of thieves who have
been operating in this city for some time.
At the time the police ran on to the
place 1t was uninhabited, but quantity
OF supplies was located and confiscated.
BY following tracks through the brush
the Officers unearthed a sack containing
shoes and some clothing. A piece of meat,
sack OF flour and other edibles We're To-
Gated in holes MADE by the men in the
soft earth. The thieves. as they are sup
posed to be, had constructed a cabin that
was unique as well as serviceable in an
out-of-the-way place. The superstition is
that the persons who used the hut are
the ones who have been robbing freight
cars and stores in Ogden. No arrests
have as yet been made

AN INSPIRED DISPATCH.
Satisfaction in German Political Cir
cles Over One Result.

Cologne, March THE KoeInische
Zeitung prints an inspired dispatch
from Berlin rejecting the satisfaction
in Berlin political circles at the prompt
ness with which the English people
have refused to accept the Times YER
sion of the emperor's letter, and de-
claring that Germans can be fully sat
isfied with the comments on this sub
ject in the English and other foreign
newspapers.
The dispatch then refers to the po-
sition taken by several English pa
pers, that 1t is improper for a mon
arch to hold private correspondence
with a minister Of foreign power,
which dictum. 1t asserts, is impossible
of acceptance in so sweeping a form.
In support of this, it points to the
memoirs of Queen Victoria, which con-
tanned extended correspondence with
foreign personages, often touching pol
itical matters. The dispatch concludes
with the statement that nothing is
known in Berlin in reference to the
statement appearing in the English
newspapers that negotiations have been
going on between the English and Ger
man governments for a mutual restric-
ton of warship building plans.

FRED FISH HAS REFORMED.
Employers at Portland Give Him a
Clean Record During His
Residence There,

Provo, March e.-The following particu-
lars in the case of Fred Fish, arrested al
Portland for Sheriff Harmon on the
charge of burglariZing ID. r. G.
freight car at Springville five years ago
show that 'the way of the tranSgreSSOT
is hard" and that reform does not al
ways relieve the derelict from the evil
consequences of crime When Fish Yves
arrested and escaped from the Provo jail
about five years ago, he had a partner
who escaped at the same time. He was
arrested shortly after in Oregon and
brought back and was sentenced to a
term in the state prison. Sheriff Harmon
has been trying to locate Fish since then,
and yesterday received a telegram from
Chief of Police CritZmacheT of Portland
stating that Fish had been arrested.
Since then Sheriff Harmon has received
the following telegram from a Portland
business firm:
Portland, Ore. March 5, 1908: Sheriff
Provo, Utah. Fish has been employed by
us long time. Sober, industrious and hon
est. He has family. Charge is an old one
why not leave him? Answer. Peter &,

Provo. Fish worked for us after coming
to Portland as night Waterman before go
Was sober and honest, and in every way
trustworthy. Is supporting large family
and mother. If possible leave him with

Sheriff Harmon has wired the Portland
chief of police asking him to further IN
vestigate the case. 1t is possible if the
chief sends favorable report the case
may be permitted to drop, but which
ever way it turns out Sheriff Harmon Is
pleased in professional way that Fish
has been located.
Mrs. Olive Peck Wilkerson has COM
menced suit for divorce against Samuel

CORRECTING A CORRECTION,
(Powhatan Bee.)

In our correction last week of the shot
gun episode article we made a mistake
which necessitates another correction.
William Schmidt is one of our best citi-
zens and does not use a shotgun to chase
people either in or out of a house We
rather looked for him to bring Calling
gun down to the Bee office after reading
our article last week. In the hurry of
getting copy ready we wrote the name
William Schmidt, when it should have
been Henry. Henrq-not Bills the shot
gun man that chased a woman into"
not out of her house. Another time
We stand corrected. We hope this article
is all straight-that all names are right
and spelled right. That we haven't used
out Tor In or in for out or up for down
Ii we were running a daily it wouldn't
be so bad. for We could correct the mis-
take sooner. but TO wait a week and have
that suspense hanging over you. like a
sword hanging by a thread, that's what's
putting the gray hairs in the Old Mans
head.

the conduct of Peter Fish. accused of
burglarizing D. & r. G. car at Spring
