Mrs. Adolphe Maillard, sister Of Mrs.

from Italy he dressed as an English

said one of the most militant agita-
tors. "I was out in the :nsurrection OF
1s74-a major in the rebel army. We
endured many privations and losses
but there sustained by .ne spirit of pa
triotism and the consciousness that we
were fulfilling the dearest wishes OF
our people. One day, ragged and hun
gry. we came to a village on the border
of Vovi Bazar. Our hearts beat fast
at the welcome that awaited us. The
people for whose liberty we had suffer-
ed and shed our blooc came out to
meet us, and overwhelmed us-with
curses. They gave us food-such food
as we never dreamed peasants knew.
OF these luxuries and Of shelter you
have robbed u.s. they cried, and their
curses made bitter their bread"

He Preferred Mules.-One Of the pet
hobbies of Senator Christopher Magee
was his newspaper, the Pittsburg
Times. He kept the paper well to the
front, and 1t was a credit to modern
Journalism. One morning the Times
had been scooped on a railway wreck.
Senator" asked an intimate ac-
quaintance, "how do you console your
self on the loss Of that wreck story
this morning?"
by congratulating ourselves" ne
answered quickly, that we are among
the number who missed that Ill fated
train"
On another occasion as the senator
was approaching the Times building
on Fourth avenue he noticed a crowd
gathered about a wagon which was
filled with huge rolls Of newspaper. A
wheel was caught in deep rut in the
pavement and could not be budged.
Senator" laughed friend, they
managed at last to get your paper into
a rut."
YES" answered Mr.. Magee, his eyes
twinkling with good humor, "and I'm
not trusting to men to get 1t out again
but to mules."-Philadelph Press.

A ROYAL Legacy.

A Door woman's act Of kindness
has brought her an unexpected IT,
ward under a romantic legacy which
a king of England granted to a sub
ject over $50 years ago.
The story of the legacy's origin is
famous Flying from the battle of
Worchester, in 1851, King Charles H.,
was hidden from the pursuing SOL
diers amid the foliage Of an oak tree
by a farmer named Richard Pender-
ell.
The kings gratitude took the form
of six perpetual legacies, granted to
Richard Penderel and other men,
bers of his family. Two were Of f1OO
a year, the others of slightly over 6 so.
These legacies have come down
through many generations, links be-
ing lost here and there, heirs occa-
sionally disappearing.
Some time ago Mrs. Cassin, the
wife Of a London cab driver appear
ed at the office Of Messrs. Petch &
CO., SOllCllOIS, HdNlll6 iCdo VI q Si
derel legacy last July. Nine years
ago, she said, her brother, John Pen
derel, a fruit porter, died, leaving a
little daughter four years old unpro-
vided for.
Although she had no children of
her own and 1t was struggle to
make both ends meet, Mrs. Cassin
adopted the little girl to save her
from the workhouse. Her brother,
she said, had spoken Of an annuity
which had come down to him from
King Charles H., but her impression
was that the pension ceased at his
death.
Application to the courts and to
trustees followed, and recently the
dead mans little daughter was held
to be a legal successor to her fathers
pension, which amounts to nearly fl
a week.
Mrs. Cassin's kindness to her lit
tie niece was rewarded by a sum of
over G200, which had accrued in the
hands of the trustees. In addition
she was created the guardian Of the
child.-Tit-Bits
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-03-30

Quite Sufficient.-A child-loving man
was on his way to Denver to transact
some important business. During the
afternoon he noticed, in the opposite
section of the Pullman. a sweet-faced
tired-appearing woman, travelling with
four small children. Feeling sorry fol
the mother, he soon made friends with
the little ones.
Early the next morning he heard
their eager questions behind the cur
tains Of the berths, and the patient
Eyes, DEAR" Of the mother as she tried
to dress them, and looking out, he saw
a small white foot protruding beyond
the opposite curtain. Reaching across
the aisle he took hold Of the large toe
and began to recite:
"This little pig went to market,
This little pig stayed at home;
This little pig had piece OF roast beer
This little big had none;
This little pig cried 'wee-wee' all the
way home"
How is that?" inquired the eager
man.
Then the foot was suddenly with
drawn, and a cold, quiet voice said: 81
should think it was quite sufficient.
