a fairy palace out of the plain, bathed in the
soft light of a January full moon.
We had hardly arrived at the castle when the
Queen sent for US. We were usheIed into a
very small boudoir furnished in light grays drd

which saw everything.
Prince Albert tall. calm and good looking
was exactly like the pictures WinteThalter

motioned her to come forward and speak 10 US,
but she did 1t with great composure ana gentle

pride and affection. for her bright Intellect and

VAIL ITEMS.

The basket ball game played here
last Friday evening between the
South Omaha high school team and
the Vail high school team proved a
very interesting game. The names of
the boys from South Omaha were:
Shields, guard; Stryker, center; Dick
man, forward; Captain Schultz, guard
Clark, forward; and Foley and Camp
bell, substitutes. They are large
husky fellows and came to Vail with
the expectations of easily defeating
our boys, but they were sadly dlsap-
pointed. The score stood, Omaha %,
Vail %. The manager of the Vail
team is going to make claim for the
championship for Western Iowa, ana
there is every reason to believe this
claim will be allowed. Vail is proud
of her basketball team and believes
she has one of the sWiftest nerviest
