To many travelers It used to be far more Interesting to watch the comings aid goings of Don Carlos than to make the ascent of the Regl or Pllalus. , The cosmopolitan crowd that drifts along the Sweltzerhof and National Quays, com posed as It Is to a certain degree of the exiled element of European courts who find this smiling resort a convenient place In which to lose themselves, has an at traction that never grows tiresome. "What do you suppose he has done?" you will hear a bright faced American girl ask the man sitting with her under the chestnuts that line the walk along the waterfront, as an erect and distinguished personage dressed In the clothes that Europeans consider fashionable passes In the crowd. And then, If he Is versed In the Intricacies of continental Intrigues and diplomatic gossip, he will .ell her, dis creetly of course, of the misdirected enthusiasm and unfortunate destinies that have landed these almost notables In a place to rub elbows with Just plain peo ple. And In this assembly there was no figure more conspicuous than that of Don Carlos. He lived In one of the big cool hotels that face the lake. Not especially In evl donee during the day, it was at the dinner hour that he came Into the limelight Those who knew his habtis would point out a little group, generally consisting of two women and a man in evening clothes, seated near one of the elevators. They were the little court which Don Carlos kept with him, perhays because they were his faithful friends or perhaps because their presence was a sop to the self esteem which apparently no reverses of fortune could take from htm. The three courtiers rose as the elevator door opened and Don IV s and his wife stepped into the large reception room Each of the ladles-ln-walting would ap proach Don Carlos and drop the deepest of courtesies. Then he would advance with magnanimity written in every move and allow them to kiss his hand. After that the ladles would courtesy to "the qui en, as Impertinent Americans were wont to call her, as the gen tlemen-ln-wait Ins fell on one knee and bent over the royal hand. When the little ceremony was finished the party would converse for a few mln utes. Joined perhaps by a few other per sons around the lobby, who would! ap proach Don Carlos with the same expres sions of courtesy. They would listen to whatever he had to say with the greatest deference. Then the pretender, usually with a lady-ln-waltlng on each side, would lead the procession in the direction of the public restaurant, waving his hands and arms freely as he talked. hen Don Carlos walked into the res taurant he was followed by every eye in the room. As he crossed the threshold he would walk ahead of the others, and at the table, of course, the place of honor was his. The waiters would bustle about, brushing off the chairs with their napkins, the nialtre d'hotel would do a great deal of finger snapping anil the water boys would drop bowls of ice in the general confusion. No one sat down until he had taken his chair, and he was berved first as each of the courses were brought to the table. When he spoke the others re tained a respectful silence, and when he chose to interrupt another speaker there was no disputing the conversational right of way. Yet with all this his table man ners were not all that one would expect of royalty. With his massive shoulders stooped far over the cloth and his big, heavy face low ered to a point a few Inches from his plate, Don Carlos would eat enormously, con versing volubly with those around him without regard always for the amount of food which at that moment he was In the act of swallowing. "Well, that isn't my idea of a king at all," the American young women would fay as they watched him spear a peach with his knife, quarter It with a few bold strokes and then carry the pieces to his mouth by means of the, blade. "I'm glad he lost out on that ruling business." Later In the evening he would take his stick and -soft straw hat of generous brim and go with his wife for a promenade along the quays. With him on these occasions were two creatures that added a great deal to the picture. On-e was a Great Dane dog, a beautiful animal of huge bulk, whose slate gray coat was always glossy and whose long red tongue always hung from his wide Jowls, displaying the most savage set of fangs that dog ever grew. He was an animal to strike terror Into the heart of anyone who ventured too close to the pretender. Dragged along by the leash which looped the dog's collar was a little Moorish boy possibly years old. His coal black face and shiny white teeth shone out beneath a scarlet fei. A blue Jacket not long enough to hide a broad gold fringed sash and baggy pantaloons made up his cos tume. Some said that Don Carlos feared assassins and that the dog was trained to fly at the throat of any one who ex hibited symptoms of approaching him with evil Intent. At any rate they were never seen far away, this black urchin and the dog of savage mien. Whether he was really as savage as he looked there was no way of telling absolutely, although along the waterfront you could hear stories with out number of miraculous escapes had through the faithfulness of his bodyguard. But whether savage or not, the appear ance of the animal served as an unassail able bulwark behind which the Moorish boy could retire whenever he desired. Per haps the knowledge of that fact was what made this ebony stripling bold enough to stir the wrath of the other children around the hotels. Along the piazzas he could be seen leaning across the broad back or the dog as he chatted with the stiff f recked European children playing around, and from this fortified position he would s?nd out taunts whioh caused the objects of his derision no small amount of discomfiture, but which under the circumstances they were not willing to reeent. But when nil master came in tight what a change came over the rascal. His arms would describe a great seml-elrcle, all eervllRy, he would trot along beside the dog to mount guard over the pretender. 0 IN Z'.' , - '""V 'v - l . ' v T - -Uk' .: :- ii -17 J - Jk'.

If you have anything to sell or trade and want quick action advertise it in The Bee Want Ad columns. TJUC1E SAM AND HIS MAIL BOXtS Efforts to Break Vo Clandestine Correspondence and How Trouble Occasionally Arises Therefrom. "Something: Queer hannena everv d.v In the postofflce," observed one of the officials of the Omaha postofflce Monday. "It would hardly do to print all of these things be cause they embrace every phase of life, covering the romantic, tragic and criminal. It is the purpose of the I'ostoffice denart. meat to make the postal service essentially convenient to every walk In life. And right there is where the department la confi- det.ced and gold-bricked to the limit Xot that the department Is easy, but rather that the very system is availed of hv sharpers to work their grafts. It does not all lie with the general dellvrry either, as is claimed by a writer in a recent maga zine article in which be severely, and not wholly without rc-aaon, assails the general delivery .yatem. Here In Omaha we can fairly well control the general delivan-v plan and have so arranged affairs that known parties, residents of Omaha, who seek to have mall to be called for at gen eral delivery will generally find the mail sent to their home address. This applies more particularly to young girls, whose home address is known, and the depart ment has thereby been the means of break ing up clandestine correspondence. Private Boa Trouble. 'Cut we cannot slop all of it. No more can e undertake to compel the absolute identification of each person who asks for a letter. Another evil is the private box. Only recently a woman presented a key to a private box which her husband had accidentally dropped and demanded of us the number of the box. We could not give it to her under the postofflce regulations, and she went away in a fury charging us with being In collusion with her husband, who was carrying on a questionable cor respondence. The result was that the cou ple was finally divorced. "Another case is recalled where an Irate wife discovered the number of the private box of her husband, and she demanded the mall therefrom. The demand had to be declined, as she had "o written order from her husband for that mall. She became very angry and charged the department with being a party to her domestic Infe licity. I do not know how the case came out ultimately, but the husband gave up the box. One Strange Case. "One of the strangest cases was where a woman hired a box for a couple of quar ters. The letters copiing to her address were almost Invariably mailed from Omaha and always in the same handwriting. It was, finally discovered that the lessee of the box had always written the letters heiself and to herself. She disappeared, and after one of the letters had been re turned from the dead letter office it was shown that she had entertained herself with the delusion that she had a son In some distant college, and the Utters she wrote to herself were a. if written from him. It was a pathetic thing, full of ro mance and sorrow. But It pleased her, and was probably her only solace Just a dream of w hat 'it might have been.'

It has remained for E. H. Harrlman to show those gentlemen who have long known the efficacy ot water as applied to stock Just how to water land and ta!-h In the water. In the demonstration Mr. Harrlman has also exhibited how the Atlantic ocean nas worked night and day for him, Just for the love of the thing, and gone right ahead piling yp assets for the magnate faster than the Vienna doctors could divorce him from the Interest thereon. It Is not known whether Mr. Harrlman had any private understanding with the ocean or not, in violation of the commerce clause of the constitution, but however that may be the big water kept right on the Job year after year, piling up land for the rail road man and taking it away from his neighbors, and now the courts have held that Mr. Harrlman is in no wise to blame for the generosity of the waves and that the former owners of the land cannot ex pect to get back what was handed over to him as the gracious gift of manifest and oceanic destiny. Jeremiah Lott was the owner of Barren Island and his descendants now hold the title. Tradition says that one day Colli. P. Huntington was flirting with the sea down at Rockaway Point when he heard Luke Perkins, the oysterman, allow that It was a cinch that the water would some day cut off a lot ot Lou's land and transfer It over to Hock. way Point. Nobody ever had to hit the late Mr. Hunt ington on the head with a .ledge hammer iu Older to make him take a hint and he hiked up to Albany and told the state that he would appreciate a grant that would transfer Rockaway Point to him. The state wss obliging and let him have It, Then It was turned over to the Southern I'acifiu railroad, so tbat one day, when the ocean had done its work, Just like old man Luke Perkins said it would, the Harriman road might come along and build a big shipping and railroad terminal on the bait that the state gave and the properly that was caught from the seat with u bait. Day by day and night by night w hile Mr. Harrlman was contrlbutinu to t tie campaign fund and elevating Mr. Fi.sh to the position of president emeritus of the Illinois Cen tral, to say nothing of aoliliHng up minor lines all the way from Long staple Inland, S. C, to Chihuahua, Mexico, the sea ket piling up more ofLott's land tor the use of the future station and dorks. The I.ott outfit fell into the error that when the sea moved their land they had a right to move with It, and they went over and squatted on Itockaway Point. They watched the sea moving over the rest of their possessions with satisfaction, under the delusion that they were getting moved over to the mainland without paying any moving charges. Just about the time the ocean got through moving the land, along came Mr. Harrlman with pile driver to anchor what had been handed him and told the Lotts to. get off. Judge Thomas I. Chatfield, In the federal court at Brooklyn, decided Saturday that the ocean had the right to give Mr. Harrl man the land It If wanted to and that the Lotts would have to move and let the Southern Pacific have the transplanted estate.
