STRONG DRINK FOR ROYALTY
Mixture Prepared by Admiral Evans
Must Have Been Surprise to Prince
Henry's Stomach.

When Prince Henry Of PRUSSIA,
brother Of Emperor William, visited
the United States In 1902, Admiral
Robley ID. Evans acted as personal es-
cOrt to the prince. The detail was
made by the secretary Of the navy, of
the request Of the emperor. conveyed
through the German ambassador Ad.
miral Evans felt that the compliment
was the result OF his visit to KIel, on
the opening Of the Klel canal, as a rep
resentatlve OF the United Suites navy.
Admiral Evans tells In IAN Adml-
rails Log" that at certain town In
Kentucky the train was met by a com
mlttee Of three colored men, each bear
Ing box for the prince. As the train
pulled out of the station Prince Henry
asked Evans, what do you think Is In
those boxesT
Evans replied that one probably con.
tanned very old and fine Bourbon
whisky, one apple brandy, and the
other peach brandy. This statement
proved correct when the cases were
opened. Evans says in his Log:
~ mixed falr-slzed drink Of
whisky. little apple brandy with It,
and Just dash Of peach brandy on top
TO give It the proper flavor. Before I
had time to add any water the prince
took the glass and, instead Of slipping
the fluid, swallowed the whole poison
Gus mass aud, with rather startled
look on his face, asked What do you
call that drink "A torchIIght process

A MaoIe Loan Office.

The village of Ohurt, on the Hamp-
shire border, near Surrey, England,
where Mr.. Lloyd George has recently
built his new home, is the scene of a
quaint legend. The name Of the vii
lage means rough common overrun
with gorse, broom, and bracken, and
on the common are three curious conf
cal sandhllls called "The DEVILS
Jumps" The legend ran that IL one
of the inhabitants knocked on a great
stone on one of these hills and asked
for the loan of any utensil, he would
be sure to find the thing he asked
for waiting for him on reaching home.
But II was n necessary condition Of
the loan that he must return whatever
he had borrowed one day neglect
full inhabltant borrowed a large kettle
and did not return H. whereupon the
supernatural loan Office ceased to func-
ton. In Frensham church, two miles
away from Churt, the identical" cop

ri EW YORK. July 24.-Just as
~ much a champion as ever, safer
- than he ever has been, Benny
Leonard, the idol of Harlem, is still
the ruling monarch of the light
weights.
BY a margin wide enough to con
vince a blind man. and so wide that
his opponent was the first to admit his
defeat. Leonard won a 15-round de
cision from Lew Tender. the Phila-
delphia challenger, in the Yankee
Stadium Monday night.
While 10000 spectators were on
their feet shouting a din of long live
the king" Tender. his face pulled and
swollen, his mouth releasing little
crimson tricklets from the corners,
walked YEARLY to the champion and
told him you sure did win"
The official decision of the judges
and the referee was not needed. 1t
was taken for granted from the first
round that Leonard would win by a
mile" and when the gong ended the
fight. the demonstration reached such
vocal proportions that the announcer
had to fash the decision by uplifting
the hand of the champion.
Even a knockout could have given
Leonard no more impressive and con-
vincing a victory than he earned.
Tender might have fallen back on
the lucky punch" alibi had he been
stopped. but no one can blame any
luck on the terrific beating that the
challenger took for fifteen rounds.
Leonard never looked better in his
whole career. He was in splendid
condition, and from the very first bell
/ it was apparent that he had learned
well the way to stand off and beat the
awkward left hand style Of his OPP
/ ponent.
