WAS MORE FOR SPlNsTERS
Amusing Experience of Maiden Lady Who Found She Had Been
 Churched In Rome.

A maiden lady, being in Rome, went into one of the churches, and seeing other ladies attending a serv- ice in one of the chapels went and knelt with them. The service over, a woman came round to make col lection. The lady gave small coin, but it did not appear to be suffi- cient. The woman made some remark in Italian, at the same time holding up to fingers. Failing to make the lady understand, she fetched a priest who could speak English.
 Pardon" he said, "the Signora is perhaps not aware that the fee is two francs"
 "The fee ?" she exclaimed.
 "Yes, signora. The signora has been churched and the fee is two francs"
 "Churched, my good man," ex- claimed the visitor in horror, "I'm not married !"
 The good priest modestly cast down his eyes. "In that case, signo- "a, the fee is three francs"

FROM COTTAGE TO PALACE
German Lad Restored by Court Decree to His Proper Station as
 Count.

Count Josef Kwilecki, aged four teen, who began life in palace in Berlin and continued it in tumble down cottage, has been restored to the palace by the German imperial appeals court, which decided that he is the son of the late Countess Xvii lecki and not the child of a char woman employed at small railway station.
 Thus has been brought to an end a cause celebre which has occupied the attention of one court after an- other for ten long years.
 The Countess Isabella was ac- cused of having passed off as her own the child of an Austrian Polish woman named Cecilia Meyer, in or der to keep in her husbands family an entailed estate worth $10,000 a year.
 At the instance of another branch of the family, who wanted to inherit the estate, the charwoman, Meyer, claimed the child.
 The first trial resulted in favor of the countess; in the second, the char woman won and now the court of ap- peal has reversed that judgment.
 This means that whether the boy be the son of the countess or of the charwoman, he must legally be rec ognized as the son of the count, in view of the entry in the birth regis- ter.

 Though more pretentious showing was made in other towns, the hospitality of Monti- cello. the Friday night stop, was so genuine the editors were made so at home they would have remained longer had the itene- rary permitted. The reception committee boarded the train at IDermott and by the time the train reached Monticello, the en- tire delegation had been assign ed to the principal homes of the city long noted for hospitality.
 The run from Monticello was Short. The people of Warren burned out in large numbers to meet the editors and the receD. tion was royal during the short time spent in the city.
