Her Answer,

An Atchison girl had proposal of
marriage Sunday night and asked
week to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One, who used
to be belle, had three children, did all
her own work and hadn't been to the
theater or out riding since she was
married. Another, whose husband was
promising young man at the time
she was married, was supporting
him. A third didn't dare say
her life was her own when her hus-
band was around, and fourth was di-
vorced. After visiting them and hear
ing their woes, the heroine of this lit
tie tale went home, got pen, ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the
young man. You may think it was re-
fusing him, but it wasn't She said

majority they are to be informed, the

before a federal judge who is in no

This seems paradoxical, and it is
difficult to explain to those who do
not know England. Most people read
only one paper. and they move about
always in the same grooves. Conse-
quently, they never have any notion
of things outside their own circle. The
sporting papers dwell on the Kings
exploits as a race horse owner. The
theatrical papers tell of his remark

But the fierce light that beats upon
throne" is an invention of syco-
phantic court poet.
In spite of great apparent pub
licity, very little is really known Of
the real nature, character tastes and
pursuits Of royalty. The people who
know most are the purely aristocratic
circles, and in their own conversa-
tions, as L have. heard myself, they
are. not disinclined to criticise roy
atty and to laugh at it's foibles. But
they recognize 1t for exactly what it
is-the keystone of the arch of their
own prerogatives, privileges and pow
ers. Consequently, in public they de-
fend royalty with the utmost tenacity
and exalt 1t to the skies, and as we
have already seen, the sources Of the
power of the lords, we find in that,
also, the source Of the power of roy
atty and the origin Of the incessant
compaign Of the press in favor of
those obsolescent shams.
