The Fickleness of a. Woman.


Some years ago when Miss Chrys-
tai I1ene was playing summer ell
gagement in Washington, she made
The acquaintance Of the young daugh-
ter of a western senator. The ac-
quaintance ripened into intimacy.
Miss Hcrne and Lucile--such was the
young !ady's namc--corresponde re-
"ularly after the formers departure
from the capital and the western
"ir! Kept her stage friend informed
of all the gossip and news Of their
friends.
Not very long ago Miss Hcrne re-
cclvel Il note from Lucille in which
she announced her approaching mar
rlage. Miss lTeme replied at once
heartily congratulating her and
wishing her every happiness. Two
months later Lucille wrote to say that
she had discovered that she could
not be content TO pass her remaining
days with the gentleman whom she
had named and had learned to love
another. Their marriage had been
set for an early date,
Miss Herne replied that she had
every confidence in the Judgment Of
her friend, moralizcd a bit concern
ing how much better it was to dis
cover these things before rather than
after marriage and once more eX-
pressed her warm wishes for the fu-
ture happiness of her friend. Th an
three days ago Miss Herne received
another letter from the interesting
Lucille. This time there came the
news that the second engagement had
been broken. Yet there was a sort
of nil lisperandum in her nature,
for she announced at the same time
her engagement to a third man.
At first Miss Herne was rather
Stunned, tnen mmor Of the situa-
ton came to her. She took her pen
in hand and wrote carefully a few
lines which he dispatched to WASH
ington:
"My Dear Lucille:
"I desire to congratulate you on
your approaching marriage with

iSk, and in a foot note she added: .

The Hague, Aug. 3l.-The TWEEN
ty-eighth birthday az Queen Will
helmina, and the tenth anniversary

Netherlands, was, celebrated with
great rejoicing by the people of
Holland today. In this city bust

creased blythe report that the queen
will soon be visited by the stork.
Two or -thre times previously. such
report has gone forth, only to end
in disappointment. Unless an heir
IL born to the queen, the throne will
pass to the German branch of the
royal family, and Dutchmen fear
that this will result In, finally MAX
ing their country a German depend
ency.
The queen was married, in 1901,
to Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. Her married life has
been marred by many quarreIs, and
this has served to excite the wrath
of the subjects Of the queen, with
the result that her consort is per-
haps the most unpopular man in
Holland.

MAGYAR CABINET
THREATENS RULER
CONFLICT WITH EMPEROR
FRANCIS JOSEPH OVER SUI
FRAGE IN HUNGARY is GROW
ING MORE ACUTE.

Budapest, Hungary, Sept. 2.-Evi-
dence of the increasing friction be-
tween Emperor Francis Joseph and
his cabinet, due to the formers in
siStence On giving universal man
hood suffrage to Hungary, is steadily
coming to light, and today it was
freely predicted that should the en-
peror carry his point the cabinet will
straiShtaway resign. Premier WEEK
erie will probably be the first to give
up his portfolio.
Joseph promised suffrage to Hum
gary in his speech to parliament from
the throne two years ago Having
made good his promise to Austria, he
insists that. similar bin be passed
at the next gathering Of the Hunga-
rian national assembly.
The Hungarian ministry is almost
wholly Magyar. The Magyars num-
Der about 100000, while there are
100000 ROumanians, Germans,
SloVacs, Croatians and Seryians. Con-
shutting practically the entire upper
class, to which suffrage has hereto
fore been limited, the Magyars have
controlled the government. Univer-
sal suffrage would put them in a mi
nor1ty and endanger their suprema-
cy. Their only hope is a gerryman-
der Of the electoral divisions, SO as
to preserve their parliamentary SUI
premacy.

-Four Declared Dead
Say They Are Glad


st. Louis, Sept. 2-When four St.
Louisians, each eighty years old,
called at the offices of the German
Mutual Life Insurance Company, in
the Third National Bank Building, to
pay the premiums on their policies
they discovered that they were dead.
They were glad to find this out, be-
cause the German Mutual gave them
checks for the face value of their pol
.icies, as well as for dividends they
had failed to collect.
