shocked to see that the once lovely
and charming young queen had turned
into haggard and prematurely aged
woman.
The Dutch people saw the change
with sorrow and sometimes with in
dignation, for they were disposed to
attribute it partly to the misconduct
of the prince consort.
The loss of the queens good looks
was without doubt almost entirely due
to the repeated disappointment of her
hopes of motherhood. The disappoint-
ment was, in the first place, natural,
such as any normal woman might have
felt This natural feeling was intensi.
fed by patriotic sentiments.
The queen realized that 1t was her
duty to provide an heir to the throne
in order to preserve the succession in
her own family and to prevent compli-
cations which the whole Dutch nation
dreaded. The queen at her accession
was the last member Of the ancient
royal house of Orange-Nassau who is
really Dutch. There are other de-
scendants of the family through the
female line, but they are all Germans
or foreigners. The Dutch have always
been suspicious of German designs
on their country, and apparently with
good reason.
Now, the nearest heirs to the throne
after Queen Wilhelmina are not only
German princes, but officers in the
German army. 1t appears to the Dutch
that one of these gentlemen, if placed
on the throne of Holland, would be
very serviceable in adding the coun-
try to Germany.
A rather astonishing but very pretty
scene occurred the other day. Two
high dignitaries of the court, the
Baron Snouckaert de Schauburg and
the Dowager Baroness de Harden
brock de's Heerartsberg and Bergam-
bacht (born countess of Limburg- STIR
um) entered to announce to the queen
the arrival of a great political officer
the Baron Schimmelpeninck Van der
Dye, president Of the states general,
who came for an audience with her
majesty by appointment.
These great personages were sur
prised to see her majesty the queen of
the Netherlands crawling about on
her hands and knees on the floor with
the little Princess Juliana, heiress to
the throne, on her back. The queen
was playing gee-gee with her baby.
It is this sort of thing that pleases
the Dutch.
The happy feeling among the people
has had much to do with restoring her
good looks and good spirits to Queen
Wilhelmina. She is made happy not
only by mother love but by the
thought that she has done her duty
to her country, the ancient home Of
liberty in Europe.

Indianapolis.-M of the adver-
Using signs in the foreign sections of
the city present many humorous
phases of business activities. They
are fnartistic, in bad taste, and seem
to display a generous amount of 1g-
norance or carelessness-but such Is
not the case.
Investigation has disclosed the fact
that those signs, at least most Of
them, serve as business getters. They
are the mediums which bring and
hold the foreigners together, and they
attract hundreds of up-to-date Amer
leans, who think those signs stand
for just what they want. The adver-
Using in the foreign districts, how
ever crude it may seem, is in many
respects more up to date than what is
used downtown. Many Of the foreign
ers-and many in the foreign districts
are matured Americans-could pre-
pare or order as pretty signs as seen
anywhere, but this would spoil the
business in those districts, and the old
signs are retained.
A man on West Washington street,
blacksmith by trade, and one who
looks every bit foreigner, is well

the English language adapted to his

print the capital and small letters Of

ALL BACKED AWAY TOGETHER
Woman Creates Much Excitement at
Railroad Station by Accusing Man
of Stealing Her Ticket.

A short woman, wearing a WHITE
shirtwaist and hat with three apples
on it, grabbed by the neck a chunky
young man who held a ticket in his
right hand in the waiting room OF the
Lackawanna railroad station in Ho-
boken at $50 o'clock yesterday after
noon and screamed, Give me my
ticket!'
''Gug-gug-gug, gasped the gagged
stranger, as he struggled to release
her grip.
The station cop went to the mans
rescue and gently inquired what the
rumpus was all about.

why don't you look in your bag
and make sure?" suggested the cop.
The woman took a peek and found
her ticket.
Men shouldn't carry their tickets
in their hands," said the policeman,
as he backed away from the backing

This may not seem SO crude. The
letters are uniform and present good
appearance. Evidently somebody
with real artistic instinct had been
employed to advertise the wants of
the house Here the spelling is the
chief fault.
A large artistic and in every way
beautiful sign, such as can be seen
in the business district, would not at
tract the foreigners. First of all, they
think an establishment carrying a
sign of bright colors and worked out
to mathematical precision would show
too much prosperity, too much Amer
icanism.
