military schools he began to publish .

caused his speedy expulsion from the
republic.
He had fortune Of his own, and i'm.
agined that he was destined to con-
quer worlds and rule all the con-
Quered. Leaving France by govern
mental invitation he was shipwrecked
on Trinidad and conceived the king
dom he was afterward to establish for
a minute or two. The next year he
married Anna F1agler in the United
States, but marriage, instead Of quiet
ing his restless spirit, seemed only to
incite his romantic disposition. The
Odysseys he performed were as start
ling as that Of Macmillan to Mexico,
which was then fresh in the minds Of
the world, and without any manner Of
excuse excepting his own perverse ~
sire. He roved over the world, and al
ways encountered adventures that had
no place in the life of nineteenth CEN
fury citizen. He should have lived In
the days of the three musqueteers or
earlier in the crusading times to have
been entirely at home with his period.
Harden HIckey's End.
1t was in 1894 that he set out in .
yacht with his wife. They were
wrecked OF Trinidad, and the baron
set up the government he had planned
six years before. At least he began
along those lines, and got as far al
taking the title OF James !. for himself
and awarding that Of Queen Anna to
his wife. His rule was 80 short-lived
that he did not even have opportunity
to get his extravagant plans out Of his
head even onto paper. The big island
OF the Venezuelan coast was discov-
cred by Columbus on his third voyage.
and for q century before King James
proclaimed himself had belonged to
England. At the time 1t had British
governor and 200.0 900 inhabitants. King
James, therefore, speedily encountered
John Bull, and as quickly as the ex-
changes Of the information regarding
his usurpation could be made the
London government dispatched q
cruiser to deal with this brand-new
problem of colonial control.
King James and Queen Anna, at the
time constituting all the royal govern
ment, were exported to Key West, and
the king died a. king for want OF
place to rule.
Harden Hickey finally shot himself.

born women who
have shared royal thrones:
The American woman has gone
everywhere and become everything by
marriage. There Is not a nobility in
the world. excepting Chinas, but that
has it, American woman In II. But
royal families have been Of necessity
more exclusive when wives are to be
chosen for their scions and royalty has
generally evinced little prediction for
those outside of equally exalted fam
dies. even In Europe. On the CONT
nent. in fact, It IL practically true that
only those sheep blackened, or at least
sunburned, by the fierce light that
beats upon throne have married non
royal persons. Those who have made
morganatic but perfectly honorable
marriages, like Grand Duke Michael Of
Russia, are very rare.
Yet there are now living a countess,
widow of king whose love for the
Boston girl changed the course of nine
teenth century history; an American
princess who actually shared a throne
-or at least a palace-is still alive;
and another, q New Yorker born, Is
aunt by marriage of the German en-
press. Prince Leopold of Lippe-Bies-
terfeld, who died few months ago,
nearly lost his principality of Lppe-
Detmold because his grandmother was
Philadelphia. Feminine citizens of
the United States have reached the
dubious positions of unofficial consort
of king of Holland, wife of Q throne

American spouse to enter royal ranks;
and It was daughter OF John H. Flag

first and only king of Trinidad, the
self-styled James l. Of the island.
A Remarkable List.
This is remarkable list when the
conditions and barriers to be burned
or pushed away are kept in mind. The
mere fact that every royal family Is
subject to its own laws by which mes
alliances are viewed in as serious
light as are criminal acts under the
laws Of the non-royal II only the
smallest obstacle to be overcome. In
most European countries the Salic
law prohibiting the inheritance Of the
throne In the female line Is recognized,
and accordingly there is a less super
vision Of the love affairs of princess
than of prince and corresponding
care in selecting wives for the latter.

CITY Builds a Saloon.

Because SO many breweries and
saloons are within it's precincts, MI
waukee has often been called the
cream city, because of the color of
the foam on the beer glasses. but
no one ever expected to hear that
the city administration of Milwaukee
had built a saloon. Yet that is what
it has done. Recently when it was
decided to replace one of the street
bridges, a saloon was found to oc-
cupy the property needed in building
tnc new bridge. The city has there
fore built = new saloon for the man
who owned the old one, and has
placed it in the center of the broad.
way where the street cars will run
when the new bridge is completed
1t was argued that if the city took
away mans business 1t should re-
turn his bus ness to him. so Mflwau-
kee has the oldest saloon in the
world, municipal saloon in the mid
die Of a street.

APPLE GROWING TO
BEST ADVANTAGE
WELL DRAINED. NoRTHERLY
LAND GIVES GREATEST
RETURNS.
CULTIVATION HIGHLY iMPoR'
TANT AND SPRAYING
ESSENTIAL.

Fist among the essentials OF sue
cess In commercial apple growing
is that the soil must be adapted 70
the business and that very good ana
very poor loca ions may lie side by
side. Nearly every farm contains
some land that is adapted to apple
growing, although very few farms as
a whole would prove adapted TO the
industry. Soil and location are fully
as important factors as the climate.
A careful study OF the conditions
surrounding the orchards that were
planted in the early times has proved
to US that in selecting an orchard
site the most important things 10
consider are the character Of the
soil, exposure and shelter, says
writer in the Country Gentleman.
Good deep soil, composed largely OF
vegetable matter, with sand and
gravel Or clay, is ideal. The scarcity
of timber that formerly afforded
windbreaks makes it essential that
we select northeastern northern or
eastern exposures or slopes for an
orchard. On land that affords nat.
ura wind-break. or where there is
10 pro. ection from Understand or
groves, a double row of evergreens
may be used to advantage as wind
break.
After determining on the site of
~
portant step is that of properly pre-
pairing the soil. The old saying that
''the hole should be the same size
as the orchard" is a safe rule to
follow and means literally that we
should carefully fit the field at least
one year before the trees are to be
planted. 1t is a loss of time ard
money to plant trees on wet and
undrained soil. We have also learned
that the selection of the varieties
best adapted to our conditions in a
great measure means success or fail
ure. The desire to plant too many
varieties of apples has resulted in
flooding our orchards with undesir-
able fruit, in many instances with
out regard to market demands, quail
ity or profit. The most profitable
commercial orchards in New York
state are those containing from one
to three varieties. Planting few
choice varieties for home consump-
ton or for home markets is a diff
erent proposition from commercial
apple growing.
For a commercial orchard in his
latitude there are three market ap
Piles that stand in a class by them

orites that possess good keeping
qualities. The 20-ounce Pippin and

ditions. Hardy varieties must be Sc
lected regardless of their beauty OF
