devoted royal mamma
In Europe Yet it is a fact that most
modern queens are particularly care
full mothers. They have to be. queen
Elena is tall, has an imposing car
riage, a girlish figure, splendid
wealth of dark hair, wonderfully ex-
pressive eyes, finely cut features and
mouth showing character and deter
minatioI. She often declares that her
happiest hours are spent with her
children.
AS soon as her first simple meal of
rolls ard coffee is finished in the
morning, she goes to their nurseries.
When they were much younger 1t was
her great delight to give them their
tub. but now she merely presides
over their breakfast, and PLAYS and
romps with them until they are ready
to go out. The children's rooms are
furnished with the utmost simplicity,
designed to give a maximum of light
and air and minimum of dust-con-
tanning draperies and carpets. Plain
brass bedsteads and polished wooden
furniture only are allowed. In the
playroom, quite inexpensive toys may
be seen-dolls, soldiers, engines and
the ordinary playthings dear to every
child.
Queen Elena has earned the title of
the babies queen" in Italy through
her love of all children. Since her
marriage she has established many
children's hospitals and creches.
Hardly a day passes, when she is in
Rome, that she does not visit one Of
these institutions. She has also
caused a revival of the lace-making
industry by establishing schools
where Italian girls are being taught.
Many of the fine old patterns which
were in danger of being lost have
been resuscitated through her inter-
est. Her devotion to sufferers during
the Messina earthquake and the erup-
ton of Vesuvius is of too wide knowl-
edge to need more than mention here.
This beautiful queen is the daugh-
ter of the simple, homely, old-fash-
toned king of Montenegro. For the
first ten years of her life she ran wild
like any other little peasant girl of
the country. She could ride any pony
bareback. but her favorite recreation
was mountain climbing. Montenegro
Is full of mountains, so the little prin-
cess had plenty of scope for her hob
by No climb was too difficult for
her, as she did not know what fear
meant. When still quite young a gypsy
told her that one day she would be a
queen. Her father. who Mas ino-diu-
ately fond of his handsome daughters
made up his mind that she was des-
tined for the throne of Russia, so she
was sent to the Smolna institute in
Saint Petersburg. where she studied
French. English music and the usual
accomplishments of a finishing young
lady. The present car OF Russia was
introduced to her in due course, but
Cupid soon found there was nothing
doing between the pair and things
went no further
A little more knowledge on the
gypsy's part would have made things

MEANING OF CAT HALF MAST"

For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever prominent person dies, es-
Ipecially If he is connected with the
government, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the
way up. remarks the Toronto Mail and
EXPIRES. This is called half mast. "
Did you ever stop to think what con-
nection there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war
It has been the custom to have the
flag Of the superior or conquering ma
ton above that of the inferior or van
,quished. When an army found itself
'hopelessly beaten it hauled its flag
down far enough for the flag of the
:victors to be placed above it on the
same pole. This was token not only
'of submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous SOL
der died flags were lowered out of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds.
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
OF universal respect. The space left

conqueror of all-the angel of death.

HEAT IS FATAL.
One Dead, Several Frustrated and
Work on Many Farms Abandoned.

Fargo.-A strong, cool gale. from
the west brought relief from the most
oppressive heat wave that has ever
been experienced in North Dakota this
summer. Since Tuesday morning q
record has been established for Sep
TENDER and the humidity Of tho at
mosphere has intensified the situation.
Several prostrations are attributable
to the unusual heat of the last three
days, death coming to one victim, who
waded into the Red river to get re-
lief. Farmers in this section of the
state report that harvest hands are
abandoning their work. and this is
borne out by the fact that there has
been general influx of harvest hands
into the cities in the last two days.
They declare they will not return to
work until relief comes in the way of
cooler weather.
Arthur Harden was driven into the
Red river for relief from the heat. He
had barely reached the water when
he became Frustrated and sank within
sight of dozen companions. His body
was recovered.
Joseph N. West was overcome by
heat as he climbed into his automobile
and applied the power. A passerby
stopped the machine.
William Howard was overcome
while operating threshing engine at
Wild Rice, and Alfred Schmich was
overcome while working in q street
in Fargo.

Robert BrownIna's Will.

:, Diligent search Is being made at
Florence, Italy, for the will of Robert
Browning, son Of the famous poet.
but SO far it has not been found. The
fact that there apparently is no will
as causing considerable gossip, as
the property, of which there is good
deal, both in Asolo and Florence,
will pass to his wife, who was Miss
Coddington of New York. and from
whom he lived apart for years. owing
to incompatibility of temper.
Browning's property in Florence in.
cluded Casa Guidi, where he spent his
childhood days. When his mother
died the property passed out Of the
family, and was acquired by him q
few years ago.
