Could Not Be Disturbed.

Although Jed Hoover was tha laziest mar in town, he always had strength to hold a book or magazine in his hand. It was only in emergencies that the neighbors called upon him for help. One hot day in July, when the clouds threatened rain, farmer hurried to his shack and asked him to rake after" the last load of hay.
 Jed hesitated minute, and then his eye fell upon pile of old magazines that were stacked in corner of the sagging piazza.
 Well, now, I'd like to help out" was the reply, ''but I'll have to refuse ye this time. Pm little behind with my eading."-Youth's Companion.

Modern PoIiteness.

Where the crowds rub elbows. the polite man is now too often one who has something to sell. He is suave, bland, conciliatory, and compliment ary, and it is an axiom in business that the poorer the article, the smooth CT must be the salesman. A grotesque assumption of the un- natural for q purpose clearly visible to the one 1t is desired to influence often by the concealment of truth Alan Southern in Harper's Magazine.

ROYAL REVENGE.

QUEEN CHRISTINA of Sweden, only v daughter of the great and good Gus tavus Adolphus, kept all the gossips of Europe in ferment for many years. After holding down the throne of her fathers for four years, she vol untarily abdicated in favor of her cousin, in order that she might travel and enjoy herself. At that period she was young and beautiful and the most learned and accomplished woman of her time, and it is not strange that the Welcome to Our City" sign was hung out whenever she deigned to visit burg
 Toward the close of the year 1857 she hOnored France with her presence, and the palace of Fontainebleau was turned over to her with the compli- ments of the season. She was attend ed by royal retinue of servants, and also by her grand equerry, Marquis Monaldeschi.
 This gentleman, as his name sug- gests, was an Italian, and for con- siderable time had been the queens favorite. They were recognized as lovers and, since the queen had abdi- cated, it seemed more than possible that they would be married and go to housekeeping. The marquis was ex- traordinarily handsome and gifted in all the graces and polite mannerisms of the time. He was charming man, but entirely interruptions. When duty took him away from his royal mistress they wrote love letters, just as ordi- nary people do, and the letters of the marquis always breathed undying de- votion. And, while thus convincing the queen that he lived for her alone, he was quietly laying siege to young Roman girl of wealth and beauty.
 In his letters to this girl he ridi- culed the queen shamefully, applying contemptuous names to her; and, not satisfied with this business, he sent several of the queens love letters to her, that she might enjoy good laugh. But Nemesis was on the false lovers trail.
 There was certain cardinal who 5 had long been jealous of the marquis, and who was anxious to be the queens favorite. The cardinal had his spies, and soon learned the details of Monal- deschi's treachery. By some means he secured possession of the entire corre- spondence with the Roman girl, and turned the letters over to the queen. Christina must have had bad hour when she read those letters, in which her love and trust were ridiculed.
 On Saturday, November 10, the mar quis was summoned to the galerie des Cerfs, long and gloomy apartment of the palace. He entered. lowing and smiling in his accustomed manner. The queen was there, with Father le Bel and three armed strangers. Chris tina's face was as cold and rigid as marble. As the marquis advanced. smirking, her glance brought terror to his heart, although he had no ink

Look Again." Said the Queen sternIy

Look A9diH, odio eHe &uecH SeoiHiy' all he could think of, the queen turned again to the priest, as calm and in- exorable as ever.
 Father" she cried, "do what you can for the good of his soul. He has failed to justify himself, and he must die."
 The good priest dropped on his knees before her and prayed that she would have mercy.
 q have said the words," answered the queen, land no power under heaven can make me unsay them."
 Then she left the room, and Monal- deschi was left with the priest and the three executioners. He groveled on his knees in sickening way, like Mon mouth at the feet of King James, and implored the priest to make one more effort. So the priest went to Christina and begged for the wretched mans life, but she was adamant.
 Le Bel returned to the gallery and announced that his errand had been useless.
 Prepare yourself to die!" cried the chief of the executioners, and the mar quis and the priest prayed together. Then the butchery began. The marquis wore a suit of mail under his clothes, and this turned the swords of the exc cutioners; so they hacked him over the head and neck, and he dragged himself over the floor like a wounded snake,

GRAZING HOMESTEAD BILL
DID NOT BECOME A LAW

Registers and Receivers:
The newspapers throughout the en-
tire country announced Immediately
after the adjournment Of the recent
session Of Congress, that a law had
been enacted allowing homestead en-
tries for GAO acres Of grazing land.
The newspaper articles were based
on the fact that, during the last day
of the session, the Senate passed n.
K. i07, "a bill TO provide for stock
raising homesteads, and for other pur-
poses" but with various amendments.
The House of Representatives there
after took no action on the amended
bill, and hence the measure was not
submitted 10 the President for APP
proval.
The amended bill will probably be
considered by a conference committee
OF the two houses upon r~econvening of
Congress next December.
Very respectfully,
CLAY TILLMAN,
Commissioner
