An Excuse For a Pardon.


When the stern Duke Of Wellington
was prime minister under George ".
he managed the old monarch easily
enough, but when he attempted the
same tactics with the young Queen
Victoria he met his match. She con-
stantly outwitted him. One of his
earliest official acts was to bring be-
fore her court martial death SEN
tence which he expected her to sign as
a matter OF course. A soldier was to
be executed for desertion, and as the
death warrant was placed before the
queen by the duke she raised her ewes.
full Of tears, to his face, saying:
Have you nothing to say in behalf
OF this poor man?"
Nothing" said che duke, standing
at attention like one of his own nri-
Yates; che has deserted three times. :"
"Oh, your grace, think again." plead
ed the queen, as If she were asking
for the life Of her dearest friend.
"Well, your majesty, he certainly is
bad soldier, but there was somehodv
who spoke for his good character. He
may be tolerably good fellow in civil
life"
"Oh, thank you,'' said the queen in
heartfelt tones, and before the aston
ished duke could utter word Of pro.
test she had written across the paper
the word "Pardoned.''

familiar pet of our homes, the COM

l1shed more clearly than this. Hahn
In his ''Wanderings of Plants and AMI

been established by the united efforts
