ADMIRAL PLAYS WITH BOYS.
Hut He'a Only Tvro and a Half Years
Old.
Boston Is peculiarly Interested in. the
progress and growth toward manhood
of the son of the late Marquis of Don
egal , because his mother was at one
time a resident of that city , was a stu
dent at the Quincy Mansion school , and
later attended Wellesley College , from
which she was graduated.
The widowed Morchloness was Miss
Violet Twining , whose father , heavily
interested In shipping affairs , lived in
Halifax , N. S. , and In Frederickton , N.
B. She was Intensely English and at
the time of the Boer war went to South
Africa with her mother , where they
ministered to the British soldiers.
Later they went to London and the
Foung woman was presented at court ,
where shfe met the Marquis of Donegal ,
then SO years old.
The marquis had been bereft of his
first wife by death and had divorced
his second one after several suits , in
bfio at least-of widen she brought u
counter action against him. Neither of
his IpiTes had presented him with a
child and the old marquis desired to
marry the pretty Canadian girl , says
the Boston Globe.
She accepted him and they were mar
ried In London on Dec. 23 , 1902. The
marchioness was then 22 years old. She
gave birth tx ? a son , ttoe most noble the
lord high admiral of Lough Neagh , as
he I * named and known. The old mar
quis died May 15 , 1904.
The Marquis of Donegal Is hered
itary lord high admiral of Lough
Neagh and Is permitted to wear a naval
uniform similar to that of the king.
The lord high admiral is a baby of
so many titles and honors that he
would be really quite a formidable per
son to meet , for Edward Arthur Don
ald St George Hamilton Ohichester ,
sixth marquis of Donegal , Is also Vis
count Ghichester , baron of Belfast , earl
of Donegal , earl of Belfast and Baron
Flsherwlok.
In addition to his high naval com
mand he also holds military rank as
hereditary governor of Carrickfergus
castle , an ancient fortress near his an
cestral home of Castle Chlchester ,
County Antrim , which does not require
much government , however , for al
though a few heavy guns are , Indeed ,
mounted thereMt is used now only as
an arsenal.
Such a string of honors might have
a deceasing effect upon some people ,
but it does not seem to weigh heavily
npon the spirits of this small person ,
and he plays with his toys In his nur
sery just as happily as If he had no
Inland sea and no grim fortress de
pending upon his exertions for.defense !
As he is a peer In the United King
dom , there is a seat waiting or htm in
the House .of Lords , but he Is not very
much puffed up about that In fact ,
It Is said of his lordship that he does
not think much of the House of Lords ,
and-that a seat upon a good rocking
horse Is , In his opinion , something
which Is far more worth having.
THE CAT AND TH-E MAGPIE.
A Tragedy that Canned a Xelghbor-
hood Coldness in Kansas City.
This Is the story of a cat and a mag
pie , says the Kansas City Times. A
few daj-s ago they might * have been
written about In the present tense in
jBome such manner as this :
The cat Is fine and sleek and fat ;
.the magpie is happy and talkative and
.mischievous. Side by side they live out
on Brooklyn avenue the exact block
doesn't matter. Their owners are hap
py , too , and dwell together hi harmony
and serenity , as neighbors should. The
cat Is a beauty , striped and marked as
a tiger Is.
All this might have been written a
few days ago. It's different J tv. This
is the way the change that makes the
past tense necessary happened :
The magpla , heedless of Its danger ,
was roaming about hi the back yard ,
gathering choice bugs and worms. The
tiger cat , lying lazily in the sunshine ,
watched the bird through half-closed
eyes. Then something within seemed to
Carouse the tiger cat and to urge It to
action. Slowly It arose , blinking In th *
sun , and crouching low began to sneak
toward the saucy , black-feathered biri
At that moment the owner of the mag
pie happened to be looking from an up
stairs window. In an Instant ho noted
the snakellke approach of the tiger cat
and the danger to his feathered pet.
Neapr opd nearer crept the tiger cat
and at last gathered Itself for a spring.
A puff of smoke , the sharp crack of a
small target rifle and the tiger cat lay
stretched on the gross , Its body quiver
ing'a bullet burled in Its brain. Cnat-
tering the magpie hurried off in search
of fresh worms.
The cruel murder caused great ex
citement In the neighborhood. Gentle
hands fashioned a wooden box lined
with white muslin. The tiger cat was
laid within and the box buried. There
were tears , too yet , salty , sad tears
for the poor tiger cat But more.
There was an oath a solemn oath , of
vengeance.
The owner of the magpie tried to
blame the affair qn his marksmanship
by saying he had Intended to hit a
stray cat on the back fence and not the- ,
pet tiger cat , so beloved by its master
and mistress. His explanation -was in
vain. Tie magpie isn't safe outside Its
own yard now and the slight bows with
which the bird's owner Is greeted by his
nart neighbors makes him think of
January and heavy snows and long ,
thick Icicles.
Nobody knows just how ifll end.

more essential than a beautiful voice.
No matter 'how exquisite the vocal or
