II Is a question if the present interest
in these cases will lead 10 the production
of any substantial proofs It is believed
that Emperor Francis Joseph has positive
proofs OF the fate of Archduke Johann
Salvador. and It is said that in the ar
chives or the Russian and German courts

The Iichborne case was famous, not
only on account Of the attention that II

was the longest modern trial before an

in the summer OF 1875, his death FASTENED
by the cruelty and neglect 10 which he
was subjected while a prisoner in the

After the execution OF Louis XVI he
was removed from his mother and sister

her old age In an asylum. Naundorn' S

understand; he was a man OF good pro-
portions. but even at that the belt
wouldn't begin 10 go around him, to say
nothing of buckling, and we both had to
smile when he looked at It on him; but
the giant was disappointed for all that,
because he wanted belt, and he wanted
1t then.
The storekeeper said he'd order belt
made right away and have 1t there ready
for Us IN a week sure. but that wouldn' I
do because the show was going 10 start
in four days. and so there we were with
the giant fixed out beautifully with tie
trousers he wanted, but no belt: and
really when we started back home he
was quite put out. But we got what we
wanted after all.
Trunk Strap necessary.
Going down the street we passed. as
we always did. the store where they sold
trunks, and I never thought anything of
that, but this morning when we passed
the trunk store the giant touched me on
the shoulder and when looked up he
was smiling down, and also he was point
ing at the trunk store window.
There. with their buckles on nails at
the windows top and hanging down by
the glass in front and with their other
ends trailing off somewhere back on the
floor OF the window, we saw DISPLAYED a
lot OF trunk straps, some tan and some
black. The giant said ned rather have
tan one, and 1 went in and bought the
longest one they'd got and brought it
out. The giant started reeving this belt
through his belt straps, and it was plenty
long enough; 1t went around him all
right and buckled easily in front, with

And then we went on; the giant with
belt that fitted him nicely, and both Of

II Is a brides privilege 10 name the
date and hour OF the wedding. She is
expected 10 decide how many persons
shall compose her escort 10 the altar,
and who shall act as maid OF honor,
matron of honor, and bridesmaids. She
also may choose some OF the men who
shall act as ushers.
There is no rule defining exactly the
number OF attendants at a wedding. but
as a rule there are not more than twelve
bridesmaids at church wedding; at a
house wedding a maid or matron OF
honor is frequently the only attendant
beside the best man and ushers.
Two or four bridesmaids are sufficient
for a house wedding unless the room in
which the ceremony Is performed Is an
extremely large one. -Four to six brides

bride.
Before the day Of the wedding the
bridal party and the attendants should
have a rehearsal. If it is to be a church
wedding the rehearsal should be in the
church. In this case all those who take
part should remember that the church is
a place meant for worship. no matter
what the creed may be. and the be-
havior OF all present should be quiet and
dlgnifed.

the bride and her mother should see the
organist and talk over with him what
selections shall be played before the
ceremony. and which OF the wedding
marches shall be played as the bridal
party advances up the aisle, and also

mony Is over.

which had removed her loved ones

She was frai little woman. with
bruised heart which she hid behind
a cold exterior. defiant blue eyes and
a bitter tongue. All the softness of
her youth had concealed. She was
estranged from happiness.

And twelve times had Calista filled

dawned and she awoke to the hitter

house and in the sight of the row of
bullying stockings hanging before the
smoldering fire she would r. down to
the sitting room and tear them from
the shelf and empty each one of it's
burden.
The bureau drawers in the slant
rooted bedrooms were filled with the
little treasures Calista had bought for
her loved ones.
Again it was Christmas eve. and
Calista had come home from shopping

himself Of burden that troubled him.
