QUEENS GIFT MIscARRIED.
Wilhelmina's Present to Admirer Fell
into Wronu Hands

An interesting story of Queen Will
helmina is going the rounds of The
Hague. The queen is very fond of
walking I'm out-of- the-way places
around her capital, and during a recent
promenade she encountered a little
girl i'm whom she subsequently inter-
ested herself. The child conceived the
idea of showing her gratitude in a tam
gible fashion She thought the queen
would be pleased to accept "A little
present from her, and after considera-
Bile meditation sent to the palace "A pair
of gloves.
Queen Wilhelmina was much touch
ed, and promptly returned the COM
pliment by sending another pair of
gloves to her young friend. by way of
adding interest to the present her
majesty had filled the right one with
bon-bons, and placed pieces of money
I'm the left. Accompanying the present
was a letter i'm which the queen asked
the little girl to inform her which
glove gave her the most pleasure.
The simple reply came as surprise
to her majesty. Dear queen" wrote
the little girl your beautiful present
has only caused me trouble. ] cannot
tell you which of the gloves has given
me the most pleasure, for my father
took the left glove and my eldest sister
the right one
That same evening Queen Wilhelmi-
ma sent another pair of gloves, SINH
larry filled, TO her young protege. Her
majesty took care that the present was
delivered by a court functionary. who
saw to 1t that the gloves were not
seized by others.

"The coffee situation is more acute

who regularly covers this territory.

were worth thirteen and a half cents.

get THE HOOK"
A Bit Of Slang Which Came From the
Pompeiians.

1--WE are accustomed To having ac-
ccpted ideas about the freshness and
originality of our slang held up to the
scorn and moclery of the Initiated"
said a member OF "a group of amateur
archaeologists and antiquarians which
meets regularly I'm one of the New

"How often we have seized upon

expression of peculiar vigor and terse-

that it originated i'm the amateur nights

aspirants for fame are given chance
to try their powers upon an audience,
and that it refers to the implement
with which the stage manager brings
about the actors forcible exit when
the audience can stand no more. Cat

can be traced, apparently to a mod

ed to such an extent before the war
should have continued after it. There
has been too much of a tendency to
allow the business to run itself, letting
trade come to the store rather than
seeking after it. When the Hebrew
tradesmen patronized the newspapers
with their generous advertisements
displayed their wares attractively and
introduced other devices to catch the
eye of the public, they taught their
competitors an object lesson which
many were quick to learn. 1t can be
asserted without contradiction that
they have really revolutionized the
methods of trade In the Southern
States. AS result not only the small
err shops for the display of dry goods,
clothing and other necessary wares,
but the large wholesale establishments,
have been transformed IN appearance
and in methods of doing business.
Many a native merchant will admit
that he has succeeded in reviving his
business, so to speak, stimulated by
the competition of the newcomer of
Jewish persuasion.-Boston Transcript.

power? His name is not even men
toned In connection with this sub
Ject. The general assembly must pro-
vide for such appointments. If they
nave the power TO provide for such
appointment, has any coordinate
branch Of the government the right
or power to limit that authority or to
say that they may do so, provided it
be left to the governor or other off,
Ger to designate the appointee?
Again, if it was intended that the
governor should have the right and
power Of appointment Of special
Judges for whole terms Of court. reeu-
lar and special, just as he could in
appointing to fill places Of disouali-
fed judges and justices for the trial
OF single cases, why leave anything to
the generally assembly at all? The con-
stitutional convention could Just a.
easily have made provision for one
class Of cases as for the other.
The Whole Matter.
We think that the real meaning of
the section, stated plainly, is that the
governor is empowered to appoint
men learned in the law to take the
place of justices Of the supreme court
and judges Of the circuit courts who
are disqualified for any reason men,
toned in the section or who are other
wise prevented from pres!ding, in
particular cases, and only for the trial
Of such cases but that the matter of
appointing special judges to hold
either special or regular terms Of the
circuit courts is left absolutely to the
general assembly, and that the gen
eral assembly has properly made pro-
vision for such cases by enactine Sec
ton TAB, Vol. 1 Of the Code of Laws,
1902, which. in our opinion, is con-
stitutional. In our view, if it were
not for the provisions contained in
said section, there would be no author
lty at this time for anybody to ap-
point a special judge to hold a special
court, or a special Judge to hold a
regular term when the presiding
judge was unable to hold it.

What the Convention Means.

n careful reading of the foregoing
section shows that the constitutional
convention had three things or con-
tingencies in mind and for which they
wished to provide. namely:
/. The appointment Of one or more
men learned in the law" to act in
the place Of any one or more of the
supreme court Justices, when they or
any OF them are disqualified by in
terest In the cause. by affinity or Coz
sangulnity, or in which they may have
been counsel or may have presided in
an inferior cocrt, or In which they
or any OF them shall he "othcrwise
prevented from presiding I'm any
cause or causes" Under these con-
tingencies or any Of them, upon such
facts being certified TO the governor
by the court or the justices thereof"
II Is provided that the governor shall
commission specially" the requisite
number of men learned i'm the law for
the trial and determination thereof"
The question arises: The trial and de-
