A Royal Romance.

The second son of Prince Oscar II. fell in love with Miss Ebba Munck while at Bournemouth. She was one of the ladies in waiting to the Swedish crown princess, and King Oscar wished his son to make an alliance with one of the royal houses of Europe. The difficulty seemed one to be met only by drastic steps on the part of the lovers, but Queen Sophfe's heart was won, and she it was who obtained the kings consent. She was very i'll, and a dangerous operation was the only chance of saving her life. eff under go it and it is successful, will you all low Oscar and Ebba to be married ?' she asked the king, and of course the king promised. A year later the queen was quite well again. The lovers were in her room when the king approached. At the door he stood and listened
 Miss Munck was singing to the queen, and he waited until it was over. Then he advanced, held out one hand to his son and gave his other to Miss Munck, and so his pledge was fulfilled and the couple came into their happiness.

The Pictured Cowboy.

I recall one picture by a celebrated artist of the east who does western things. It depicts Cowboy at Rest" He is lying on his stomach in the sun, his chin in his hands. His horse stands nearby, with the reins thrown over the horn of the saddle. Now, a cowboy in the daytime. well filled with beans and canned tomatoes, would not lie thus, and, above all, he would not leave his horse standing thus. He would pull the reins down over the horses head and let them hang, elsewise his cow horse would depart. I recall yet anoth- CT picture of a faithful cowpuncher who with his trusty rife defends him. self from behind his dead horse, which he uses as fortress. The dead horse is about four feet and half through sidewise-excellent for 9 fortress, but a trife wide for a thin fanked cow horse. It would be useless to point out any detail like this to any earnest artist of today. Worse than useless would it be to suggest that a cow puncher is the laziest created thing, for in art he must do perpetual stunts of faction. ."-CoIlier's Weekly.

They Knew the Pole.

Some years ago when Dr. Nansen visited Leeds on his return from the polar regions he was welcomed by a large crowd of spectators, who cheer ed yociferously. Two of the most ar dent admirers of Nansen were cou- pie of old men, who kept shouting and waving their sticks. When the cele- brated explorer had passed, immedi- ately following in the wake of the carriage came wagon dragged by three horses, bearing a long iron pole, which belonged to the electric tram ways company.
 Directly the old men saw it the fol lowing conversation took place:
 "Well, I'll be blowed! Sitha, Bill, he's brout the pole back wi' himv' said one

A Narrow Escspe.

An old circus man tells this incident as one of the narrow escapes he had in the show business. He had trained lions, zebras, leopards, rhino = you know-and all sorts of beasts of prey, but this, he says, was his narrowest escape. It was when he was running a dime museum in Milwaukee.
 One day a mild hammered Russian came out of the railway station with a valise in his hand. He was a heavily bearded man and with shaggy hands and arms like George Esau. He hunt ed up a cabman and inquired modest ly, Where is the dime museum?"
 The cabman told him and then asked, "Want to ride upY'
 "Yes," the bearded stranger told him quietly, almost bashfully. "Pm to be employed up there. I'm the wild man.
 'The narrow escape" says the ex- circus man, Hay in the fact that no newspaper man heard the mans re- mark and that the cabman was an Englishman, with no sense of humor, who never thought to repeat it."-Ex- change.

An Easy Grade.

Patronage, political. religious and so- cial, has seen it's best days in Eng land, and it is becoming more and more difficult, St. James Budget opines, to find material for such story as follows:
 At the end of political campaign many years ago young man who had worked valiantly for the successful candidate claimed a reward. The prize promised was a sergeantcy in the artillery But the candidate found that he was unable to carry out his prom ise, inasmuch as it required six years service to qualify man for the rank. He became thoughtful, but finally saw light
 Does it require six years to qualify a man for a ieutenancy?" he asked one who knew.

 Blank was thus made a lieutenant for no other reason than that he was not fit to be a sergeant.

MIR. HILL FAv0RS
 TARIFF COMMISSION

Washington, May 16.-Representa- tive Hill is staunch supporter of President Taft's proposed tariff conn., mission to investigate the cost of pro- duction at home and abroad. MT. Hill has been allotted time to make a speech on the subject and will cham pion the administrations cause viz orously He wants an appropriation of s250, 900 to enable the tariff con- mission to conduct the inquiry.
 MT. Hill and other conservative re- publicans regret that radical stand pat tariff speeches arc being made by Representative Fordney of Michi- gan and others. They think that such utterances are bad for the republican party at this time. Fordney found that some of his statements did aot look good in print and he consulted MT. Hill about his colloquy regarding the increased duty on certain struc- tural steel, especially Hills statement that John King had said that the steel industry needed no higher duty on this product. It was agreed that all reference to structural steel would be eliminated in the official report of the speech.

An Artists Mustaehe.

The muStache was not viewed with favor in England in the middle of the last century. An anecdote is told of the late Thomas Cooper, the English artist, to illustrate. He was brought before a magistrate in 1S46 on some minor charge and was described in the police report as being fashion ably dressed, with large mustaches." !" The Art Journal of the date, comment ing on it, said that mo member of the Royal academy perpetrates the atroc- ity of mustaches, most un-English affectation." MT.

Sunshine and Lono Life.

Some towns on the Italian side of the Swiss Alps are noted for the great number of sunny days. Carabietta and Pentilino, near Lugano, head the list with 327 and 331 sunny days re- spectively in one year. Possibly be- cause of this liberal amount of sun- shine the percentage of old people is exceptionally high in the canton of Tessin, forty-four per thousand being over seventy years old and ten per thousand over eighty.-New York Post.
