to leave for Canada on October 1s,
when the newly married couple VIII
journey to Liverpool to take formal
au revoir of them.
King Edwards Honeymoon
When the late King Edward was
married the honeymoon lasted precisely
nine days, passed at Osborne, when the
newly united couple returned to Wind
sor to enter upon long round of ex-
acting public duties. This included an
evening reception at St James palace,
when the leading figures in London So
ciety thronged to the old palace to do
homage TO the "Sea Kings" fair young
daughter
The honeymoon of the King and
Queen of Spain opened In circumstances
of a tragic nature that will be remem-
bered by all, and 1t was some time be-
fore Queen Ena could recover from the
shock caused to her system by the at
tempted assassination of her BRIDE
groom and herself; but the sea air of
the Spanish coast eventually served to
restore her wonted composure of mind.
It is very rarely indeed that British
royal couple pass their honeymoon out
side their own country, and, indeed.
one has to go back for many years to
discover such an instance. The late
Duke of Edinburgh and his bride, how
ever, passed some days in Russia short
ly after their wedding. Princess Henry
of Battenberg, too, paid short visit
to Germany shortly after her wedding
at Osborne on July 2S, 1885. These are

WOMAN OF 95 DOTES
ON HER CLAY PIPE

Fort Smith, Ark, December 13.-tSpe-
cial.-She was old, diminutive, stoop-
shouldered and wrinkled, and she gazed
wistfully at the throngs of travellers GO
ing to the trains as she sat in the Texas
and Pacific station in the afternoon
Whenever man passed breathing clouds
of smoke from his pipe or cigar she raised
her head and shifted in seeming eager an
ticipation for a Whit of the odor
Finally she could stand it no longer.
and she fumbled about in her little bag
and pulled out service stained clay pipe.
glow of satisfaction came over her
face as her shaking fingers, holding a
lighted match, lowered over the bowl of
the pipe.
Yes. I'm travelling quite a piece, and
I'm getting so tired of waiting for the
train'' she said, as Mrs. Mae Wright,
the day matron, questioned her. II came
with my daughter from up near Waco
MY daughter don't like to have me smoke,
but when my tooth gifts to achin' | jest
got to smoke to make it stop. I've been
smokin off and on nigh onto so years now.
I've got about three teeth left

cut through Bloody Knlfe's army. 1 could
not get through. I climbed to a high
point and watched the fight; 1 saw our
men dying fast.
Chief Rain-in-t the-Faee, who was my
mothers brother saw me standing there.
He asked me to go to Custer and SAX
him to surrender. When 1 got within
speaking distance I called out:
'Generalr
"He turned and saw me.
Are you still alive, Curley?' he called
to me.
Yes answered.
Then we'll both fight until we die, ;
he said.
Just then tall Indian seized him from
behind. He twisted around and thrust
his sword through the Indians neck. The
Indians son. who was just behind him,
raised his gun and fired. The bullet went
through Clusters heart. He died with
his head resting on my arm.
Tom Custer. his son, lay dead a few
feet away. Beyond him was his nephew.
Lieutenant Bullocks lay there dead All
the officers were dead around 'us. How
General Custer happened to be the last
man alive I shall tell when / write my

been an eventful one. He was kidnapped

years old. His father was a Scotchman

DESPISED FELINE
ONCE WORSHIPPED

If any occasion arose for a sudden d;,,i-
sion of the world. it could be achieved
by the Introduction of the suhieet of
cats Either one likes or dislikes cats
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. There
seems to be no middle ground of toler-
ance in matters feline, but it would be
hard to say which party is in numerical
supremacy, although cat shows are al
ways well attended.
The cat, all things considered is nor
maps the most wonderfully effective of all
the animals that man has brought into
companionship with himself The cat has
gone further on lesss than has even the
dog, mans best friend, and the horse his
one time servant. The cat makes no con-
eesslons to man, gives him no affection.
no sign OF Intelligence, and will perform
no duty or service, yet lives in luxury and
by all accounts thrives. Once upon a time
cats caught mice and rats, and to a, linn
iteu extent this is their avocation at pres
ent, but even in the days of their great
est usefulness their value to man was
only an accident of appetite
D1sdainful and selfish, the cat was wor-
shipped back in the comparatively early
Egyptian days, and, showing the same
We'll bred contempt for humanity today.
the cat accepts such tributes as are paid
as matter of divine right, with a ready
claw for any disrespect,
Some people doubt the intelligence OF
cats, but feline history is one of the
keenest intelligence. Anybody may be-
come popular by putting himself to pains
as does the ever faithful dog That does
not require brains, merely a sort of soft.
easy going affection and a tendency to
obedience. The cat has never stopped to
any of the common arts of popularity
She caught her mice and ate them be-
cause she was hungry, and not to accom-.
modate man, and on the strength of this
| service she has boarded with men ever
| since as an equal. Never has she recog.
| nized man or woman as master; never
has she flattered or caJoled; never has
she lowered her dignity to human being
and yet she sleeps inside, behind the
warm stove, while the willing dog shivers
| outside in the rain. To do this requires
| brains and tact of high order, and these
attributes must be conceded to the cat
She is the only animal smart enough tS
| impose on man.

Royal HoneynoonS Are
Usually Spent Quietly

wedding breakfast" and reception had
taken place to York cottage, where
they remained for some time. York
cottage. by the way, was the wedding
gift to their majesties from the late
King Edward, says lid Bits.
The princess royal and the late Duke
of Fife passed their honeymoon for
the most part in their favorite Scot
land, subsequently staying for a time
with Queen Victoria at Balmoral.
Royal honeymoons, as a rule, are rath-
er short, since even in the case of
junior members of the reigning family
they have so many public and semi
public duties to perform that they can
not even at this interesting period of
their lives devote very much time to
even a wedding holiday. The present
honeymoon Will be no exception to
this rule, since Prince Arthur must re-
join his regiment, the Scots Greys, at
York in a very short time, and has for
this purpose just acquired a charming
little house on the outskirts of the
ancient city. There will, however, be a
slight interruption, even before the
honeymoon comes to an end, since the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught hope

daughter OF Chief Red Cloud. He was

Wyoming by mountain Cheyennes. Then

of his father and mother. Curley return

What Puzzled Her

From the Great Home Weekly
A suffrage meeting was drawing to
close. The speeches had all been
made and the meeting was thrown open
to questions by the audience.
Said the presiding officer: Now is
there any woman here who would
like to ask a question? Don't hesitate
to ask any question you'd like to; any
question at all about any phase of the
woman question"
For a few minutes there was silence.
Then a woman arose and asked: May
l ask any question at al1T'
Certainly said the speaker per-
suasively. What question would you
like to ask"
"Well." said the woman, "I'd like ito
know how you got that smooth effect
over your hips?"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-14

the only notable exceptions to the rule
that royal honeymoons are passed in
this country.
since both the Duchess of Fife and
frince Arthur of Connaught are in
lehseiy FOND of an open air life, they
