Lord Southey's Guillotine.

The most eccentric action of an
eccentric man was Lord Southey's
cool arrangement for suicide by
mean of a guillotine. He had a
magnificent one erected in the draw
ing room of his house in the Rue du
Luxembourg at Paris. The machine
was of ebony inlaid with gold and
silver, the framework carved with
artistic skill. The knife, sharp as a
razor, was of polished and orna-
mented steel. Preparing for death,
his lordship had his hair cut close,
and, clothed in a robe of white silk,
he kneeled upon the platform I'M
der the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should re-
lease the knife. But the spring fail
ed to work, and the would be suicide
decided to give the guillotine to a
museum instead of making a second
attempt to end his life. 1t is said
that he made an annual pilgrimage
to sec the guillotme until the end
of his life.

Tall Queens and Short Kings.

It appears that various European
monarchs are shorter of stature
than their queens. George Y. is
several inches shorter than Queen
Mary. The German empress is
slightly taller than the kaiser. The
car of all the Russias is by no
means as tall as his consort, and
Alphonso of Spain is a head shorter
than Queen Victoria Eugene. The
king of Italy barely reaches to the
shoulder of his Montenegro wife.
The queen Of Denmark, too, is tall
er than her husband.
Exceptions are the king of Nor
way and the king of the Belgians.
The latter, six feet two inches in
height, is the tallest Of the Euro
pean monarchs.

But I willingly acknowledge that
this has been attained not alone by
my own merits, but by the co-opera-
ton of all of us. l can also declare,
with pleasure, that since l have oc-
cupied this office the number of
prisoners has increased from 400 to
700, a fact of which both you and /

have Graded" to Great Britain that
immense territory that now forms
two Of the greatest states Of the
northwest, Oregon and Washington.
Marcus Whitman had crossed the
plains and the mountains to Oregon
and knew from a years residence
the value Of the country. He also
knew that the Hudson Bay compa-
ny was anxious to obtain possession
Of the whole northwest and had cir
culated the report that it was i'm
possible for emigrants to cross the
mountains in wagons.
At a dinner given in 1912, at
which DR.. Whitman and several Of
the company's chief officers were
present, news was received that a
band of British emigrants had cross
ed the mountains. Toasts were
drunk in honor of the event. Now
the Americans may whistle! The
country is ours!" one Of the Eng
lshman exclaimed jubilantly.
But Whitman thought otherwise.
The next day he started for Wash
ington on horseback. He made the
journey in winter and with frozen
limbs called on Daniel Webster, then
secretary of state. Upon his pres
entation Of the case Whitman was
grufHy told by Webster that the
country was worthless and that he
as secretary of state was about to
trade that worthless region" for
valuable concessions with reference
to the Newfoundland fisheries.
Finding that a treaty had already
been approved by the senate and
was awaiting the formal ratification
and proclamation by President Ty-
Ter, DR.. Whitman sought the presi-
dent. When the missionary had
finished his story the president said:
"Sir, your frozen limbs attest
your sincerity. Can you take emf
grants across the mountains in
~wagons?"
"Give me six months and l will
take 1000 across" said the doctor.
eff you can take them across"
said President Tyler, "the treaty
will not be ratified"
In 1s43 a band Of emigrants, un-
der the guidance of DR.. Whitman,
started from Missouri for Oregon.
A deputation from the Hudson Bay
company met them on the plains
and advised them that it was impos-
sible for them to cross the noun
tains in their wagons. The emf
grants decided to leave their wag-
ons and finish the journey on horse
back.
As this course would have ruined
Whitman's plan Of saving the coun-
try.to the United States, he labored
with the leaders Of the band until
they consented to follow the doc
tors advice and guidance. The band
did cross the mountains in wagons,
the treaty was not ratified and the
fertile northwest was saved to the
United Star.
