THE EDUCATION OF A QUEEN
HOW WILHELMINA OF HOL-
LAND WAS TRAINED.
Lady Long Remarkable for Her Re.
gard for Animals and Birds.
Childhood Incidents.

Goveruess Of Queen wibelmina, in London Girl $
Own Paper.
A love of animals and birds has been a
marked feature of Queen Wilhelmina' $
character from an early age, and there
were every means of gratifying il, since
she has large feathered family, which
was considered her exclusive property.
and which expected to be fed each day
by their mistress hands.
The king had built for his child a
charming Swiss chalet. forming the nu-
cleus of small estate, over which the
princess was allowed to exercise GER
tain amount of independent control. 1t
was a pretty little property, calculated
to bring infinite JOY to the heart of its
ton for the requirement of general
knowledge and childish amusement.
The chalet itself contained several
rooms and large balcony. In front Of
1t was we'll kept garden, in which fruit
trees of every description abounded, as
well as large quantities OF vegetables and
flowers. dollhouse had been built for
the cultivation of vines and peach trees,
and later a second forcing house was
added for flowers and ferns. Dotted
around the boundary of the garden were
the various little buildings for chickens.
Of the house there was a famous swing.
seesaw, jumping board and giant strides.
Nature Studies.
l found that my education on nature
products had to he started anew, and was
initiated according to the season of the
year, into the art of potato planting and
digging. sowing of seeds. thinning carrot
beds, picking lettuce and endless other
details connected with garden culture.
We were most energetic in our under
takings. and quite as proud OF our
achievements as though we had been PAID
laborers On Sunday mornings special
treat was always the order or the DAY.
We used to pull a large quantity OF the
biggest carrots to be found. and after
washing them at the pump trundled them
off to the stables. where II was an I'M
mense pleasure to the princess Cwho has
always had a marked affection for horses)
to enter the stalls and feed the favorites
The cueen-mother attached great i'm:
portance to the manner in which her
child played with her dolls. believing
rightly that the element of protective
tenderness so essentially necessary to
mature womanhood might be gradually
developed In little girls by encouraging
them TO handle, treat and think OF their
dolls as though they we're morsels of hu-
mainly. To this end a young French
girl had spent some time in the royal
princess to speak French. had instituted
a style Of play with the dolls which was
exceedingly charming and absolutely rep
resentative of real life.

"In general the people of the Territory have been prosperous. There is continued and rapid development of our mining, live stock, agricultural and other re sources and of the industries re- lated to or dependent upon them. There is a steady increase of population which has now, ac- cording to the best estimate that I have been able to make from all accessible data, reached 200,- 900 numerically. The immigra- ton to which the increase is chiefly due, has been of a desira- ble class of people.
 "I think there has been mani tested a greater degree of care in the administration of law, in civic conduct, and in the general interest in the growth and devel- opment of all the institutions of our Territory, public and pri- vate.

HON. G. W. p. HUNT.

The Sentinel is gratified at the action of the legislative council in selecting as it's presiding off cer Hon. George w. P. Hunt, one of the ablest and fairest. minded men in Arizona, and one who has on different occasions shown his friendliness for Yuma when a friend was needed.
 Although a democrat, and elected as such, MT. Hunt is not a partisan to the extent of un- fairness, and as president of the council his rulings will be i'm partial and he will always be found on the side of right and justice for all the people. That is his record over a period of many years during which we have known him and at times been associated with him, and we can vouch for his honesty and love of fair play. George Hunt is all right.

COWARDLY POLITICS.

It is rumored that the demo cratic board of supervisors will punish the Sentinel for it's oppo- sition to them during the cam paign by manipulating the ad- vertisement for county printing for the ensuing year in such a manner that no weekly paper could handle it. The Sentinel gives notice right here that if it is the lowest bidder it will law. fully be entitled to the contract; the printing will then be done by this paper, notwithstanding the antipathy of the democratic members, and collected for, as the law also provides. Getting even with q political opponent at the expense of the taxpayers don't go, gentlemen.
 If President Roosevelt is to be loved for the enemies he has made he is sure to be the idol ot his country.
