struck q snag in this poem Of his

him out with a rhyme for Rachel
The young man informed him that
there was no such rhyme, but his
uncle refused to believe it. He insist

education he could find a rhyme II he
chose. Well, the upshot Of It was that
the old gentleman took it into his

and ungrateful, and he cast him of. A

finally concluded that perhaps there
really was no rhyme for Rachel and
he decided to reinstate' his nephew in

rhyme should first be advertised for
and that should any person produce

occurred suddenly and at a moment
when the doctors seemingly had had
the greatest hopes for his recovery.
Throughout the day before bulletins
issued from the sick room indicated
progressive improvement. The bulle-
tin posted at $3.50 p. m. gave the kings
temperature, pulse and respiration as
practically normal. Apparently the
drainage Of the wound was perfect, as
40 fever was present and during the
day the king had been able to take
nourishment.

Prince Albert is one of the most
popular members Of the reigning house
Of Belgium. His wife is equally popu-
lar, their home life being such as to
attract the admiration and love of the
people. Prince Albert has travelled
extensively and is a man of affairs.
In appearance he is strikingly like the
late king, but their dispositions and
temperaments have always been in
marked contrast.

of the Literary Post. It contained this
week most unusual announcement,
and 1t was this which now occupied
her attention to the exclusion Of all
else. The announcement read as fol-
lows:

lions. viz: l. The rhyme must be a le-
ultimate one. Dialect, foreign or invented
words will not be considered. 2. This Of
Ter Is limited to one year, dating from

1t Is deemed proper to state the following
facts: Among the effects Of the testator
above referred to is an unfinished poem
addressed to lady whose full Christian
name was Fedora Lillian Grace Lorain
1Iildegarde Louise Rachel. The said
poem was written by the testator for the
purpose of bringing into rhyme each one
of the names aforementioned. He sue
ceeded In writing six stanzas, in which
the first six names were respectively in
troduced in accordance with his afore-
said purpose; but he was unable to COM
p)ete the poem because Of his failure to

such rhyme.
