ROYALTY LOOKS
OUT FOR RAINY DAY

Copenhagen. Dec. "a. King
who has surprised everyone by sit
aing fast on the wobbly throne of
Greece these forty-seven years past,
came nearer to being born on Christ
mas day than any other of the sover-
signs of Europe, December "a, 1S45,
ss generally accepted as the date OF
mis- birth, but the records of the roy
al family of Denmark show that the
hour of his advent into this mundane
sphere was almost simultaneous with
the birth of Christmas day in 1S45
and the late King Christian and
Queen Louise were often heard to re-
Ter to him as their Christmas pres
ant.
King George apparently has never
forgotten the days of his youth, when
OTIS parents, who had not yet been
called to the Danish throne, were
notoriously poor At sixty-fve years
of age the king of Greece finds him
self among the very wealthiest men,
oers of European royalty. His rep
utation for thrift is such, in fact,
that it has been said he still has the
first money which came to him after
his accession to the throne of Greece
an 1868. However this may be, it is
certain that he has managed to save
a tidy sum each year out of his civil
list. Much of his savings has been
safely invested in realty, while the
remainder has been used by the
monarch in specializing on the Paris
Bourse, in which he has been emtn-
emily successful. In recent years he
has invested large sums in Ameri-
can securities.
1t Is an open secret that King
George, were it not for consideration
Of the members of his family, would
welcome political upheaval in
Greece such as recently deprived
She young king of Portugal of his
throne. Many times during the last
quarter of century the king of the
Hellenes has been reported on the
point of abdicating. That he un-
doubtedly expects such an event to
occur sooner or later is evidenced by
the careful preparations he has made
tor the future. Practically his en-.
tire fortune has been invested out,
side Of Greece, and only within the
cast month or SO he has concluded
de purchase of two magnificent es-
oates in Denmark, evidently to be
used for his own residence when the
dime comes for him to finally quit
athens.

MEETING OF BLACK HILLS
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
To be Held at Spearffsh on Saturday,
January livery Town of
Hills Represented.

Following Is the program of the
meeting of the Black Hills Horttcul-
tural Association. AS you will sec.
the meeting is to be held at Spear
fish on Saturday, January z.
1t is very desirable that every
county and town in the Hills be rep
resented at this meeting and at every
meeting and every meeting of the
association. There is no good reA-
son why tho business of growing
fruit and vegetables in this region
should not be as great and as profit
able as the mining or the stock rails
ing industries. An obstacle to pro-
gress has been the fact that Black
Hills conditions as to climate, soil
and railfall are peculiar, and tho
successful grower must understand
these peculiarities. This obstacle 10
to be overcome by observation, ex-
perience, and last but not least, by
exchange of ideas and experiences at
the meetings of the horticultural As
ISOLATION. We believe the time will
come when many hundreds of people
will regularly attend these meetings.
and when the sales of fruit and veg
etables grown in the Hills will ag-
gregate many hundreds of thousands

TERsE TALES FROM GOTHAM.

Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall,
and one of the strongest political
forces in the country, seldom gives
advice. because, like the elder Du-
mas, he thinks people only ask ad.
vice not to follow it, then to get
mad at the giver for giving it, when
it is followed. He departed from his
rule the other day, however, when a
young man. who regarded Mr.. MUIR
ply as perfection of political wisdom
and success asked him for some point
in the game. Mr.. Murphy handed
him the "Star Spangled Banner"
words and music.
know that?" he asked.
The young man confessed that he
did not, except for the first two
lines.
Then" said the leader of Tam
many Hail., "the first thing you've
got to do is to learn it by heart, ev-
cry word, and every note. Go home
and practice it until you can sing it
with as much feeling as you have. 1t
will carry you over many strip of
thin ice. Every successful politician
in the land has been saved from de-
feat at some critical moment by his
ability to sing the Star Spangled
Banner. If the fellows who have
failed had known how to sing it,
may be they would not have fallen
with such a thud. Later l have
few more hints to impart, but make
no mistake: the ABC of the political
game is working knowledge of the
Star Spangled Banner"
Mr.. James Forbes is the secretary
of the society for the prevention Of
mendicancy and he knows more
about the ways and names of pan
handlers and hoboes than any other
man alive. Every day that he walks
on the street he sees some familia,
face, for the boes have been return

in anticipation of Christmas begging.
Coming through the poultice route
is what their return is called. The
"poultice route" according to Mr..
Forbes, is unexpurgated tramp class

Tramps do not like the juice of the
COW and the bread made by the
housewives own fair hands, but ev-
en- bread and milk is better than
feeling as if they were peripatetic
echo caves. They are willing to put
up with almost any privation to get
back to the "big stem" in time for
the holidays. Some of the more hum
bic are willing to work, although a
real tramp will not work except on a
stone pile and under the hose. Mr..
Forbes thinks that some of the Arks

"Some of the most amusing evenings

hang-outs, to tell of stories they
pulled" to tickle quarters out of
easy pockets.

THE DISTINGUISHED STATESMAN HAS SEVERAL
SPLENDID PLACES VISITED

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Kupitz have re-
turned to Bismarck after splendid
trip across Europe. Their daughter,
Mrs. Lou Kupitz-Anderson, who con.
tributed so many interesting letters to
the Tribune while the party was away,
returned as far as Minneapolis and
stopped off there for a weeks visit,
and will return to Bismarck within a
few days.

over his trip and says that there was

The party sailed from Boston on
June Is. On their way over the big
steamer laid over one day at Gibral'
tar, where the passengers were allow
ed to go ashore. They attended bull
fight just across the border line from
Gibralter and this was one Of the most
interesting occurrences of the entire
outing.
Naples was reached July I, and two
Weeks were spent touring Italy. The
grandeur of st. Peters was fully de-
scribed in one of Mrs. Alderson's let.
tiers, as we'll as their trip across the
the country. Mr.. Kupitz has a large
number of excellent photographs TAX

places en- route. One Of these shows

Coliseum at Rome. The picture in

They secured a book of views of
Pompeii which are unusually beauti'
full. Nearly four hours were require d
to make tour of the ruins OF the an
cient city. Mrs. Kupitz showed the
writer Il specimen of lava which she
brought back with her. 1t is of a vel
lowish color. Later on as it becomes
older, the lava turns to grayish
tinge. The worst eruption OF Mt
Vesuvius occurred about ten years
ago. There are houses on the out
skirts of Naples which were com
pletely filled with molten lava at that
time, and it can still be seen clinging
to the tops OF the buildings. The
structures appear as If they mad been

From Italy the party went into the
Austrian Tyrol. They reached Ober

duction of the Passion Play on July

The party conducted by Rev. Har

party in Oberammergou by two
days. A fine set of photo cards were
secured at Oberammergau showing
various scenes from the world famed
spectacle. Two of these show the pic
ture of the man who represented Mat

man that the party stayed during

went in search of Harrington. He
found him near the Northwest hotel,
and the youth Immediately made a
clean breast of the affair upon the
promise of immunity from arrest. He
claims that Fischer broke into the
car and did the stealing but that the
three of them shared in the plum
der. He said that the stolen prop
erty was planted down in the eastern
end of the 500 yards between two
piles OF ties and offered to take the
officers to the plant.
Accordingly Mcdonald and Detec'
tive Batten accompanied Harrington
down into the 500 yards and found
the plant where a number of pairs
of shoes, some shirts and some under
wear, as we'll as working coat
were received. Harrington was
allowed his freedom, as he turned
states evidence.
There was an exciting time as the
officers and Harrington tried to find
the plant. The night was very dark
and Chief Mcdonald had one flash
light and that was not casting a very
brilliant light. The party went past
