place. this charge Is very far from
being justified. For there are plenty
or men OF bourgeois parentage-en-
nooled afterwards. 1t Is true, for their
serVtces-who have attained tho rank
not merely of minister plenipotentiary
and of ambassador, but even of minis
ter of foreign affairs. Thus, Baron
Joseph Won Thuguth, who was for a
time In charge OF the foreign relations
OF the Dual Empire. was the son OF a
steVedore. earning a prccarious living
on the wharves Of the Danube at
Vienna This baron OF SO humble
origin remains on record as the most
arrogant and intensely vain and proud
statesman, who has ever been In charge
of the department on the Ballplatz.
One of his successors there, the late
Count d'AerenthaI. who died while in
Office, was the grandson Of a self
made man. and had n strain OF Jewish
blood in his veins.
Then there was Baron Won Huebner,
who was Austrian ambassador from
1853 to 1859 In Paris, and who after
his retirement wrote a very interest
ing book about his travels in the
United States. His name was originally
Hafenbroedcl. He was the son OF a
village cobbler, and he owed his ad-
mission to the diplomatic service. and
his subsequent rise in rank, to q
peculiar kind OF poodle dog. The third
OF the wives of the great Prince Met
teruich, the Austrian Chancellor of the
NapoleonIc era and of the first five
decades of the nineteenth century, was
passionately fond of poodles. The
"Mops" of the Princess died. and in
asmuch as the particular breed was
believed to have become extinct, she
was quite inconsolable
BY some means or other-which per-
haps fortunately remains clouded in
obscurity-young Hafenbroedel who
had just started on his career as a
peddlng tinker, was able to secure
for the Princess another "NIops," ex-
actly resembling the one she had lost
Her Joy was intense. and she testi-
fed her gratitude to the young tinker
by not only paying him handsomely,
but also by finding him a place as mes
senger in the office Of her husband

Fredericksburg, Va. September 10
j. B Gray. OF Traveller Rest.
Stafford County, has been using a
roam driving mare for number of
years. The animal was always a good
one. full OF life and spirit, and many
people have marveled that Mr.. Gray's
roam mare would be active for so many
years. The fact is. MIR. Gray has used
several generations OF a certain strain
of horses. His present driving mare is
probably a great granddaughter of his
original roam marc. The color of each
of his driving mares, as they have sue
ceeded one another. has been Just the
same and size and build very similar.
The present one is young animal. as
fine driver any MIR. Gray has
owned.
1t Will thus be seen that Mr.. Gray's
roam mare. while the same in color.
has not been the same animal all these
years.

FENCE BUILT ACROSS ROAD.

Wreck Automobile.

Lancaster, Va. September 1o.-Philip
Emory and Albert Smith. two young
negro men. were lodged in Lancaster
County Jail last night on tho charge
of building fence across the public
road leading from Kilmarnock to Kill
marnock Wharf, on Indian Creek, and
officers are looking for two others Car
roll Hornsby and Ernest Waddy, who
are said to have assisted in the work.
The fence was built where there are
deep bitches on either side Of tho road.
and 1t is supposed that the object OF
tho men in putting the obstruction
there was to wreck an automobile.
Some time ago Walton Hubbard, a
prominent business man of this county.
while running his automobile on the
main public highway, near Kilmar-
mock. discovered plank across the
road and stopped his machine to re-
move the obstruction On investigation
he found that large. sharp pointed nails
had been driven through the plank,
with the evident intention OF punctur<
ing the tires of automobiles passing
that way.

Uedu anu pins IL III neT naC-See!
"Oh, just the thing" cried Nettie
with sparkling eyes. 81 know just
what to do now"
She went to the picnic the next
day and so did all the town, Elsa in
cluded. The latter wore the hat she
had worn all summer. She saw that
her father and mother were comfort
ably bestowed in shady spot, Then
she placed her hat and light wrap
alongside the lunch basket and wan
dered about the grounds.
A strange thing had happened to
little Nettie the afternoon previous,
which shall be recited in it's due
place. AS it's sequence now, the mo-
ment Elsa was out of sight Nettie
stole up to the discarded hat. She
proceeded to pin the photograph of
very handsome young man inside
the hat. Father Dunbar was doing
and his wife was reading. Neither
noticed the excited little sprite, who
flashed away feeling jubilant because
she had settled the picture hat ques-
ton to her artless way of thinking.
Now by another strange freak of
fate, which will also be explained in
its place, young man, a stranger in
Wharton, strolled by that spot few
moments later. His name was Lisle
Devon. He had come to the town on
very important business the day pre-
vious. He had met with the loss of
a wallet containing important paDers
and could do no business until he
had found them. The local police
were now assisting him in this effort:
The picnic occasion was a general
holiday. He had sauntered down to
the grounds to. put in the time.
'Impossible!" abruptly exclaimed
this model young man, and he paused
with a shock as his eye Lit upon
Elsa's hat with the photograph
pinned upon it-for it was his own
portrait.
