BRITISH PRINCES.

Very Different from the King In Elk
emptiOn from Laws.
So privileged is the King of England
in his exemption from any and every
law that one would naturally expect
his children might do pretty much as
they like. But Englishmen have al
ways been very jealous of royal per-
sonages, and the fact is that princes
enjoy very few privileges indeed. A
prince of the royal blood may be fined,
like any ordinary mortal, if his motor
car exceeds the legal limit of speed.
The Prince of Wales cannot be sued
personally for debt. If the debt is not
paid the creditor may take out sum-
mons. but he must summon the treas
urer, not the prince. If the case goes
against the treasurer the money is paid
out of the princes assets.
No child of the King who is under
% can marry without the Kings con-
sent Supposing, however, prince
over % desired to marry and the King
refused his consent then the prince
| could give notice of his intention to
the privy council. After that he would
have to restrain his patience for a
whole year. If during that time either
the house of lords or the house of com
mons disapproved of the marriage II
could not take place. But IL bott
houses of parliament were satisfied the
prince could marry the woman of his
choice.
A prince has not even the right tt
educate his own children, for it was
long ago laid down that the king has
the care and education of his grand
children while they are minors.-Lon

beautiful snow.


Oh, the snow, the beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and the earth below;
Over the housetops, over the streets,
Over the heads Of the people you meet I;
Dancing, flirting, swimming along.
Beautiful snow, it can do nothing wrong,
Flying to kiss fair lady's cheek,
Clinging to lips in frolicsome freak,
Beautiful snow, from the heavens above,
Pure as al angel and tickle as love.
Oh, the snow, the beautiful snow,
How the fakes gather and laugh as they
go,
Whirling along in its maddening fun;
1t plays in its glee with everyone,
Chasing, laughing, hurrying by.
1t lights up the face and it sparkles the
eye;
And even the dogs with a bark and
bound
Snap at the crystals that eddy around.
The town is alive and its hearts In q
glow
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow.
How the wild crowd goes swaying along
Hailing each other with humor and song
How the gay sledges like meteors flash by
Bright for moment, then lost to the eye
Ringing, swinging, dashing they go
| Over the crest OF the beautiful snow,
Snow, so pure when it falls from the

A Renutx nactnr

Knitting has taken on a new lease Of
life. for one reason, because 1t so won
derfully beautifies the hands. Some
persons go so far as to claim that by
the degree Of beauty Of woman's
hand they can tell whether she knits
or not. That is going rather far, yet
1t cannot be denied that the gentle and
continuous exercise Of knitting has a
remarkable effect In rendering the
hand firm, rounded, supple, In keeping
It free from bullying veins, and In giving
1t the soft and dimpled aspect which
women so highly prize.

A delightful little story Is told Of
Prosper Merimee, the French author
He was once guest at royal hunt
when hares. pheasants and other
game were driven before the emperor
and his followers, and the servants
picked up the victims Of the sport
Among all the members of the hunt
ing party, Prosper Merimee alone had
no trophy to display.
'eHow does this happenT asked
some one.
"Where game is SO plenty, the merit
of a marksman seems to me to lie II
hitting nothing" replied Merimee

Among the quaint gifts these days
is doll exquisltely dressed. This
has come about through the new fash
ion for dolls used as fashion plates,
and made into the figures of charming
little statuettes.
At one OF the large shops In New
York, these little figures. unlike ordi-
nary dolls, are dressed with as much
care as leader of society would be.
The bodies are of gauze stuffed with
some flexible material, and the faces
are made Of composition, hand-paint-
ed. The expression is charming and
the face natural.
These dolls are put In all kinds OF
life-like attitudes One is crossing the
street with bulldog on the leash; an
other is sitting in garden chair, read
ing or sewing; others are standing in
graceful attitudes.
The Dresden ones are like Dresden

CERTIFICATES
OF Teachers Can be Annulled
for Breaking Contract.

A constant source of annoyance to
school officers and of discredit to the
teaching profession is the breaking of
teachers contracts. According to the
state department., this action on the
part of teacher may be the basis for
the revoking of a teachers certificate.
A complaint was recently made by
the officers of school district No. 16
that their teacher had broken her
contract on Oct. 18th, and ceased to
teach, and asking that her certificate
be revoked.
County Superintendent Roberts ap-
pointed a day of hearing on the petit
ton, but when the matter came up
last week, it was found that the
teachers certificate had expired any
way, and no action was necessary.
The matter was the subject of cor
respondence, however, with State
Superintendent @. g. Schultz, and he
advised County Superintendent
Roberts that ne would be justified in
cancelling the certificate, and further
that the breaking of the contract
would constitute a good reason for
Withholding the recommendation and
approval for the renewal of the certi-
ficate.

HOLD UP DITCH FUNDS.
Pusillanimous Action of State
Officials.

The Minneapolis Tribune of Tues
day contains the following
"Stevens county will not immedia-
lately receive the funds applied for
by the county for ditch Improvement,
the alleged reason being that the
funds are not available. The real rea-
son is said to be because Stevens
county has repudiated its bonded in
debtedness to the state. 1t appears
that running back over a period of
thirty years, it has been the custom
of the state legislature to advance aid
funds, accepting the bonds of the
counties in payment. This was done
during the grasshopper scourge, and
later during periods of drouth or dis
aster to crops by hail or other causes
and Stevens has availed itself Of these
aids from time to time. 1t now owes
the state about $4,000, and has inform
ed the state authorities that upon the
advice of its legal authority, the coun-
ty believes these bonds are uncon-
stitutional and refuses to make the
levy. The state authorities apparent
ly believe the legal contention that
the bonds are unconstitutional, and
that they cannot be collected, but
they feel there is moral obligation
involved which Stevens county should
observe. The result is, that following
meeting of the state investment
board, State Auditor Iverson was in
structed to inform the recalcitrant
county that the funds for ditch i'm
provement in Stevens county are not
now available. 1t is also believed that
the reputation of its indebtedness is
not sustained generally in the county
and that the men making the claim,
will not be supported. Stevens coun-
ty is now one of the most prosperous
counties in the state"
The action of the state officials in
this matter is entirely unjustified, for
the state now has these ditch bonds
for about $27 900 on bitches No. 1 and
and No. 4, and even the treasurer's
receipt, as is the custom. Such
pusillanimous actions do not show
