King Frederick VI , of Denmark , while traveling through Jutland , one day entered a village school , and found the children live1 ly and intelligent , and quite ready to answer questions. "Well youngsters , " he said , , "what are the names of the greatest Kings of Denmark ? " With one accord they cried out , "Canute the Great , Waldemar , and Christian rv. , your majesty. " Just then a little j girl , to whom the schoolmaster had whispered something , stood up and raised Iter hand. "Do you know another , " asked the king. "Yes Frederick VI. " "What great act did he perform ? " The little girl hung her head and stammered out faintly , "I don't know. " "Be comforted , my child , said the king ; I don't know , either.

The Senate , last week , took up the bill , recently passed by the House "for the , ' relief of dependent parents and honorably discharged soldiers , who are now disabled and dependent upon their own labor for support.

We have here a class of pioneers whose ex1 ploits , hardships and faithfulness have nev- ei been recounted or represented in any ade quate ' way. Yet many of them are as wor thy : of renown as Bucephalus or Rasinonte oi even Pegasus. They have shared man's toils , borne his burdens , been his faithful laborers in varied efforts to subdue this great American Desert and to solve the bread and butter problem that lies behind civilization. I1 tho Nebraska of the past , dry and grasss hoppered , as it was before the iron horse came to his rescue , he was the freight earner bringing food and other supplies from dist tint railway points , and lumber where Nebj raska brick failed to serve the purpose. It rsw ' washis strength that turned the tough buf- falo sod , opening the way to plenty and to the j Kingdom of King Com. He chased cat , tle and horses over the boundless plains and . did his siiare , not only in the making and beautifying of homes , but in rearing public buildings , building bridges , etc. And later 0i , here he'is allied to the classical Pegasus , he aided in the forming of churches , the es- tablishment of schools and literary societies. One such I think of : Once a free horse of the farthest West , an unwilling pioneer , he emigrated eastward. Tamed to man's uses fiery and fleet as a grey-hound , he was a ver1 satile and efficient helper. Always ready to go ( , he did go many a mile to carry messages that , would be words of cheer or stimulus to some earnest teacher , or to cany a rider as tireless as he , to some gathering where high hearted ( men and women were building better than they knew. But at last muscles of steel relax , the tired serves of even a noble horse give out. Requiescat in pace. True Amie des < chevaux. Mrs. C. L. N. D. W.
