GRANDEES OF SPAIN.
Etiquette of the Hat That Differen-
 tiates the Three Ranks.

tiates the Three Ranks.
 A grandee of Spain enjoys the priv ilege, granted him many hundreds of years ago. of remaining covered ill the presence of his sovereign. This custom dates from the period when. according to the theory then held, the king was "the first among equals
 The ancient formula always at the coronation of the kings of old Spain was: we, your equals. choose you to reign over us.' And the king as- sented in this declaration of his nobes
 There was a time when all grandees of Spain wore their hats ill the pres ence of the king. but in time the idea of caste began to prevail. even among the grandees with the result that they were eventually divided into three classes, and these classes were dlstln' guished by the hat etiquette.
 The first class entered the royal pres ence covered: the second class entered uncovered. and after an advance of few steps. put on their hats. unbidden by the king. and the third class also entered uncovered, but did not ''cover'' until requested to do so by the king. Then. according to the etiquette. "all were equal.'
 There have been grandees who were not Spaniards-notably the Duke ol Wellington. upon whom the cortes con ferred the honor in recognition of his services to the state.-EXchange.

HUNTER
 TALKS OF ALASKA BEAR

Seattle: H. N. Vogel, the million aire sportsman of Los Angeles, who returned last month from a hunting trip in the Yukon valley, where he bagged five mountain sheep, three caribou, two grizzlies and one black bear, and at the same time lost his reputation with the guide who ac- companied him into the wilds, ex- plains the low esteem in which his guide holds him as merely due to his carefulness.
 "You see, the guide and l came upon a big grizzly and I was lucky enough to drop him." said MT. Vo- gel. I've skinned the bear and then the guide started to get the dogs ready to pack our stuff, while skin- ned out ahead. I was busily engaged in this work when the guide whis- tied softly and I looked up to see big grizzly coming out of clump of brush and start slowly past us at about forty yards distant.
 "I thought surely that this was the biggest grizzly in the world un- til the brush moved again and an other came out close on the heels ot the first. He was bigger yet and when the brush again started to move, I got over closer to the guide The third grizzly must have been the grand-daddy of them all, for he was as high as the first floor of the Smith building.
 "I asked the guide how many cart ridges he had, and he told me three I had four. .r
 "The guide said, Let's tackle the beasts I said, Go to camp. I want bigger gun and more cartridges. The wind was right and they didn't smell us, so we beat it to camp.
 The guide noticed that I changed from the usual method of following in his footsteps and wanted to know what the hurry was all about. I told him that I wanted to get that other gun and was tired of bear hunting anyway.
 However, we got our reinforce ments and went back two days later and got one of the grizzlies and big black bear that was fooling around the place. Seattle P.-I.

Do try and get the empress to smile. Eulalia." said one of the grand duchesses to me at some court func- tion.
 But that was sooner said than done. There is not a trace of artiticiality in the empress character. She seem ed unable to pretend she was enjoy ing herself when, in point of fact. she was fatigued and bored. Moving as the central figure of splendid pageant, think she was always wish ing the ceremony to be at an end and to find herself free to be with her chil- dren again.-H R.

BIG TREE MAIL STATION.
Renowned as the Oldest Postoffios
 Ruiidinu in America.

Renowned as the Oldest PostofHcs
 Building in America.
 The pioneers of the northwest often made use of huge trees hollowed out by fire or decay. Some of these tree houses" they occupied as temporary residences. Others they used as shell ters for stock or as primitive barns. Only one, however, ever had the dis tinction of being United States post office. That stump is in Clallam coun- ty, ill the state of Washington.
 In early days the settlers were vide ly scattered, and 1t was long jour ney over rough trails to the postoffice. Carriers could do no more than leave mail at some central point The big cedar stump, twelve feet ill diameter and reduced to a shell by fire, was a base from which a number of trails radiated.
 By common consent 1t became the postoffice for wide region. The set tiers put on roof of cedar shakes and nailed boxes around its interior, which they regarded us marked with their names. There was larger box for the outgoing mail. There were no locks, but the mails were never tam- pered with.
 This primitive postoftice was used for more than a year. It has been carefully preserved and is annually visited by hundreds of interested sight. seers. The stump is believed to be over 2.OOO years old. which clearly es' tablishes it's right to the distinction o1 being the oldest postoffice building in | America.-Youth's Companion.

Natives Anxious to Farm.

PROPOSED NEW
AUT0-TAX BILL
PRESENT LAW MAY BE DECLARED
NULL AND VOID.

Now here comes another trouble
caused by the house of representa-
tives going to pieces without doing
more business. The state automobile
law is in jeopardy. | fthe supreme
court upholds the decision of Judge
Charlton, of the Chatham court, it viii
entirely knock out the present unjust
and iniquitous automobile tax law, and
the state not only will be without the
means of collecting and disbursing
that money among the several coun
ties Of the state, but will have no po-
lice powers over the use of it's roads
by automobiles.
The question raises, too, whether Or
not it will not entirely eliminate tn :
same powers in every municipality il.
Georgia.
The Garland-Jones bill--introduced
by the members from Coweta-was de-
signed especially to cover the defects
in the old law on which Judge Charl-
ton ruled it unconstitutional.
Had it been passed there would have
been an entirely new method of handl-
ing the automobiles in the sttae, and
one which constitutional lawyers and
court officials hold would overcome
every objection raised in any state
to the automobile tax The feature
urged by Judge Charlton that the price
of the tags levied on cars without re-
gard to their weight, destructive con-
ditions as applied to roads; the fact
that it was so vastly in excess of the
expense necessary to enforce it and
therefore became a revenue raising
act and not polio regulation-all Of
these were corrected by the Jones bill
But the Jones bill was lost in the
ilibuster and break up of the house.
