HAD LITTLE NEED TO WORRY
Queen Victoria Might Have Known
"Her Eldest Son Had Very Small
Uce for Water.
Prince Fcrdlnnnd Leopold of Austria
Is writing a book and In It he takes
a fling or two at the British well,
one or two. Naturally not all of
them are good natured. When the late
King Edward of England then prince
of Wales, was visiting In Vienna with
the old emperor and a gulaxy of arch,
flukes, he received a telegram from
. l.otiilou us he sat at a royal dlnuer
table. It was delivered amid some
stir,' for It was known that It had had
special privileges on the wires and
that prohnbly It came from his mother,
ue- great Queen Victoria.
Probably, everybody thought, It con
cerned affairs of Mate of vital moment.
"The prince of Wales, Impressed by a
soifiewlint similar Idea, or, perhaps,
worrying for fear that lie might be re
called from his pleasant dalliance In
the then brilliant Austrian capital,
opened It at once with an anxious
look upon Ills face. The old Austrian
emperor and the archdukes, who were
all. at table with lilui, watched him
curiously as he read It.
Having done this he sighed with
Kopje relief and then glanced about the
Utile at the remarkable display of
wines which always characterized
even the simplest of the Hapsbtirg
meals.
Taking a pencil from his pocket
afer this survey he scribbled a brief
answer to the telegram and tjien told
thi tableful the contents of the mess
age and the nature of his reply. The
telygrara had been sent by his worried
mother, Queen Victoria, and said:
U'l hear the water In Vienna Is not
gopd. Be careful of It. Victoria."
His answer said:
, "Don't worry. Promise not to touch
It.;!
,:In speaking of the Scotch (this be-
ln,g another of the good-natured
series) the prince tells of a Mac
donald, taken prisoner by the Austrian
ajhdj becoming celebrated as a story
teller In the prison camli.
'.Thli Macdonald, It appears like every
Scotchman, was Inordinately boastful
of his forebears. lie was talklug with
tt'u -Austrian one would think they
must have been real pals! and said
that his clan was most ancient and
distinguished of all. It had been well
tftiowti before the flood.
'Ills listener was amused. "I didn't
see the name of Macdonald among the
passengers In the ark," lie quietly sug
gested. t'ln the ark 7" scornfully exclaimed
Mae. "In Noah'a art? No. We wadna
travel that vny wl' the crowd. Even
In', those duys the Macdonalds hud
bouts of their own." Now York Sun.

AQu.tm wall or the Credit Lyonnals
Bank, Ituc do Cholseu), Paris, a tub
lithua been placed hearing the simple
lnil'rlptldii : "Airplane bomb. .Tanuury
SO,1 1018."
The ministry of war has had tab
lte placed on the walls of the houses
ue'o,r which the tlrst und lust bombs
of.the war fell In Paris, and It seems
to ibe the general custom for private
Individuals to mark with, some simple
Inscription (he various points of the
capital where damage was done by
dermaii bombs or shells.
$The tablet on the wall of the Credit
1vonnals recalls one of the mpst mur
derous ulr raids ever made ou Paris,

who was for several years a student

bonrd of foreign missions, Following
tlie unuounrement of the betrothal,
the father of the p'lncws sent to the

The present king of Slum Is con

TREND OF JOHNNY'8 MIND.
The teacher had asked the class to
find out whnt they could about the
equator for the next lesson In geog
raphy. When the class came to recite,
Johnny was culled upon first.
"Johnny, what Is the equator?"
asked the teacher.
Johnny, who had forgotten to look
up the matter, fulled to answer.
"Who can tell us what the equator
la?" urged the teacher.
"The equator Is un imaginary line
rumllug around the earth," recited
Fred, who had tuken u sly peep Into
his geography while the teacher was
quizzing Johnny.
"Now, Johnny, you may go to tho
board nud write for us whnt you have
learned about the equator."
To the teacher's nstonlshujcnt this
Is what Johnny wrote: "The quotor
is a menagerie lion running nround
the middle of the world."

nnd delighted nt everything. They were
especially Interested In the chickens
nnd loved to hunt for the newly-laid
eggs.
Their grandmother cautioned the
children never to take away the nest
egg. Their strife to see which could
find the most eggs was great. One
morning Irene reached a nest first.
Seizing the forbidden egg, she started
for the house.
"Oh, grandmother 1" shouted Helen,
hurrying after her sister, "Irene's got
