of its long history, never passed thtough h
such week. All the streets bordering
the river, including the noted thorough
fares and historic squares. we're boatable
for days, v it'll famous buildings isolated
bv the waters. The priceless treasures Of
the Louvre barely escaped the devastation
all about. The city Was 10 darkness, the

streets, bridges and buildings OF wreck
age, mud and slime will take loug time.
The death loss was small and no Ameri-

slightly injured the beast at closer range
than it is usually possible to approach
such game. Suddenly the animal turned
toward the hunter with lowered head. The
sportsman squared away and prepared for
a second shot, but to his horror his feet
became entangled in some briars and he
fell. Close to him was a large tree sew

an opportunity to recover his weapon, he

In case the true bill found against
the Southern Railway company leads to

it will be interesting to see how the
law is applied to fit the case.

these being against Illicit distillers who

XII. THREE LITTLE
MAIDS FROM SCHOOL

THE Princes latest camp address
Was published wide in the daily press;
And the stories told by girls and boys
And by the merchant who sold the toys
And by the friends of granny dear
Who called on her the news to hear
And the photographs made every day
And printed in papers far away;
And the Princes sayings from he left the ship
As they travelled wide from lip to lip
And the doings of Dinkey and the fun he
made
And the little Jap and the jokes he played
And the news of Dutchy how he OF lost
And the way the Prince that farmer bossed;
And the way that Muffes read each mind
And solved the mysteries of every kind;
These happenings and hundred more
Made such great talk the country Ger
And made the Prince so popular
That letters came from near and far
And kilograms all through each day
Were forwarded without delay.
The camp got buster every hour
As the people heard of Muffes' power.
The Prince read closely each request
And sent reply the very best.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
UNDER INDICTMENT

That the new federal grand jury,
which was empaneled and entered upon
its duties Monday morning, means bus
mess and $ no respecter of persons, is
proven by the fact that on Tuesday it
returned an indictment against the
Southern Railway company for alleged
violation of the Georgia quarantine laws.
The indictment, which will be of vital
interest to the residents of the entire
south, sets forth that in October, 1909,
a shipment of cattle infected with what
is commonly known as Spanish fever"
was shipped from Sparta, Tenn, over
the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis
railroad TO Atlanta; and from here to
Calhoun, Eouth Carolina, at time when

THE Prince was pleased and asked his name
And where he lived and why he came;
And then said he, I'm afraid that we
Can't help you much with machinery;
We solve hard problems of every kind,
And Muf1es here can read your mind,
But we can't help you fly kite
Or get that motor working right"
The boy was tired; he had walked all day;
His home was twenty miles away;
And now to learn from Prince Domino
That he couldn't make the motor go
Made the little fellow look so sad
That the Prince was sorry for the lad.
"You stay with us tonight he said
I'VE IL get you supper and provide bed,
And Dinkey II put away your kite
And Muffes will guard it through the night
And perhaps tomorrow if the day is fair

For the boys had slept little late
And Dinkey Dadd the first to wake
Was baking fire some cakes to bake,
When he heard meow and buzzing sound
Which scared him blue as he looked around.
He dropped his pan and spoon and cup
When he looked around at Muf1es going up
On the kite machine, its wings and tail

Then break an egg and take out the yolk
And have something yellow for their joke.

That the problem asked was all sham;
Or an excuse of the children three
The famous Gypsy camp to see.

Then shook their hands and said goodbye.
DINKEY'S message the night before
Which he rushed to Domino at the store
Was about tramp who was prowlng round
And making plans of their camping ground.
But the Jap and Dutchy made him run
BY firing shot from the Princes gun.

To show Prince Domino kite
Which he had made with sticks and strings
And paper boards for tail and wings
And with propeller to make it go,
To drive it forward fast or slow.

Monkeys are the most interesting of all
animals because they are more nearly
like people. The baby monkey acts in
many ways like a little human. It chews
its fingers and learns to crawl before
IL walks; it smiles when pleased and
frowns when displeased: it screams when
in a temper and groans ii 1t is sick:
1t COOS when it is petted and cries if it is
neglected. Monkeys can be taught to
dress themselves and do all sorts of
tricks. They can be trained to do work
OF light character. One man has sew
eral that are expert fruit pickers. Some
one in observing them at work noticed
that they slyly ate whenever their mas
ter's back was turned. When spoken to
about it he replied that he knew 1t, but
was sure they didn't eat more than as
many boys would if they had the job.

fingers out of the sugar bowl
