We do not have all the humors of an

tow, for at each came near she dashed
the contents of pall full Into tht

while II us in 1 consequence no grapho-

to have killed more people than were
killed In our war with Spain.
It was Inevitable that the prolonged

expect to hear that orphan asylums are
houeycombed with graft, savings huiilis

beeu a day since the outbreak against
life Insurance when It was not per
fectly well known that there were plen
ty of State and companies In .which
the policy holders' rights were 'thor-

even the worst berated of the New
York organisations were not known to
be meeting every obligation and paying
hundreds of thousands of dollars U

But the stream of printed abuse line
been so steady that thousands of other
wise discerning men have been led tc
half believe that life Insurance 1 all
wrong In theory and management, whllt
great number of policy bolder have
been wantonly scared Into letting theli

. tare and royalty - make - sweet
sounding combination apt to excite
envy. The lovers without wealth oi
station and the rich nabobs without
love may alike look Uhu tlio young
King of Spain and his noble brldi
whose hearts are Joined, as well as
their bands, as singularly blessed. 11
there are any especially favored ou
earth It would seem It must be this pail
of royal young lovers, who, in addition
to their love, have all material environ
ment to which human ambition could
aspire. But It Is. well for us humblei
folk to remember that happiness U:
love Is not dependent on high station
In life. Love, like the sunshine, Is f ji
all, and la sweetest perhaps to thotw
whose live are ordinarily In the shad
ows. Anyway, the smiles seem uioni
soulful and the laugh ring more trtu
at the weddings of the poor or bum
ble than of the rich or exalted. If his
tory teaches ns anything It Is that the
past sovereigns of Spain, with all the
splendor of tbelr environment and ell
the Are of their love, have never been
happy In their marriage. Ferdinand
VII., while atlll crown prince, married
Marie Antoinette Therese and thereby
gained the Imperial wrath of Napo
leon, and after her death bis love In
trigues lost him bis kingdom. After
bis restoration be married Marls
Christina, whose very name Is still
hated by the Spanish people. Largely
tbrojigh her. Influence be Issued the
Pragmatic Sanction which abolished
the Salic law, made Isabella the crown
princess and gave Spain Its terrible
heritage of Carllst conspiracies. Al
fonso VII. made an unpopular mar
riage with bis cousin, and Mercedes
died a few months after marriage.
Then he took the Archduchess Marin
Christina of Austria a marriage dou
bly hateful to his subjects. She baa
conducted herself wisely during her
regency, but has never won the favor
of the Spanish people. The marriage
of Alfonso XIII. and the Princess Enn
is one of love, but the heritage of con.
plications and disasters which cliugi
to their throne Is a terrible thing to
live under. Are they to be envied
Enviable rather are the thousands of
humble couples who bare nothing In
the world but their love and their
hopes.
Bake Yoar Sausage.
nenry Ward Beecher once spoke of
the frying pan as "the modern Image
that fell from heaven that all men are
In duty bound to worship."
At the risk of dethroning this Idol we
strongly recommend that sausage be
baked In the oven and not fried In the
pan. Our selected casings are exceed
ingly delicate and burst In frying, and
the sausages do not present a nice ap
pearance ; besides, they are not as well
cooked and the flavor Is not at good
when the sausages are fried. If you
want perfect sausages, bake them In
the oven.

Mr. Gladstone knew how to admit

he preferred to keep clear of the ne

lief In their efficacy,

LEGEND OF THK 0ARTER.
Caatradletarr Varalaa ef the Peaa
datlaa at Ike Orarr,
I know, a every scluwlboy knows.
the legend that a certain countess of
Salisbury dropped ber garter at ball,
and that the king, picking It up amid
the smile of courtiers, handed It to
ber with the happy and now Immortal
phrase, "Hani solt qui mal y pense."
Rut thlt legend, I recalled, bad
to go the way of the story of King
Alfred and the rakes, the story of Will
iam Tell and the apple, and many an
other pretty fairy tale of history, say
a writer In the Sphere. At last I weut
to Sir Nicholas llarrl Nichols' "His
tory of the Orders of Knighthood,"
where I found a delightful man of
contradictory authority produced,
The tale of the ensign and name of
the order were first told by Polydnre
Yergll (1470-1MM. who wrote In the
time of Henry VII, and Henry VIII.,
and who said that the lady was "the
queen or the king's mltreM ." Begar.
whose . work. "Honor, Military and
Civil," apared In 1002, 250 year af
ter the order was founded, was the
first to say that It was the Countess of
Salisbury. Other writer say that It
was (he Connies of Kent John Anstlt
(1(100-1744), garter king of arms, who
published several heraldic works, ridi
cule the whole story. He confesses
that an author of Henry YI.'i time,
who wrote in Latin and whose work Is
now entirely lost, upheld It
Raphael Holtnshed. chronicler who
died In 1580, tell the story In detail
and say the lady waa the queen, which
surely rather spoil the significance of
the legend. Sir Harris Nicholas him
self think the story I not Improbable,
although be nrge the fact that Jean
Frolssart, who I the best contemporary
authority on the reign of Edward III,
whllo be has much to say about the
order In hi hundredth chapter, does
not refer to It, and Nicholas admits
that this tells very much against the
supposed origin of the story ; but Frols
sart may have thought the matter too
trivial to relate.
It Is not, I may add, claimed that
the Incident caused the foundation of
the Order of the Garter, but only thai
It gave Edward III. the Idea for nam
ing the order which he bad resolved to
found In any case. In the absence of
any other solution than that which
rest on these shadowy foundation I
think we may still go on accepting the
pretty legend: but I repeat my expres
sion of dissatisfaction with the popu
lar histories that they should tear
such matter aa tbls severely alone.
BOYS' ENCOUNTER WITH TIGER.
Bfaa Rater Overaawera Thaai, hat
Thar Live ta Tall the Starr,
Jbulan Oaur and Nlla Qaur, hit
brother, were grating bullock In light
jungle near San Shal Bbahal village,
about half mile from the bastl about
9 a. m. The cattle were In front, then
came Nlla Gaur and tben about fifteen
paces behind him,, Jhulan Gaur. They
bad just crossed a "nala." Nlla was
to one side, when from the other side
suddenly a tiger rushed at cow,
slapped It aside with a blow on the
rump and In the same stride Jumped on
Jbulan Gaur. bore him to the ground
doubled up In the position of Mo
hahmmednn saying his prayer or a
Chinaman "kowtowing" the hind paws
on his back and the forepaws on bis
bead.
Jhulan was quite conscious and knew
his doom was sealed. At the time he
was borne to the ground he called to
his brother to help hlin. But when
the tiger began to shake hi head from
AW to side consciousness left him. Nlla
heard his brother' shout for help and
ran to him at once. The tiger wa on
his brother's head and Nlla struck the
tiger, two blows on tbe head with a
light drover's stick he had In hi band.
The tiger bad hi mouth open and was
growling and lashing his tall. Nlla
went in front of the tlger'a face and
when be struck the tiger the brute
sprang off his brother onto him. He
did not slap, hut pushed him back
ward. He lost consciousness at once. Jhu
lan, as soon at the tiger left bit back,
regained hit senses,, and taw the tiger
on bis brother.- Ilia brother wat on
bit back with his face on tbe right tide
and one forepaw of tbe tiger wat on
his face and the other forepaw on his
chest He struggled up and with tbe
light stick In the hand (which he had
never relinquished) he struck the tiger
three times on the tide of tbe head.
The tiger let go his brother and took a
circle round, tben eaw Jhnlan and
threatened him again by growling, and
made as if be meant to attack again,
but on Jhulan raising hit stick tbe
tiger slunk Into the "nala' and disap
peared. I taw them ten dayt after

both doing well, but seemed quiet and
