All Wrong.
Not one person out of a thousand, if
he liad it fair day's utart anil privilege
of rummaging among encyclopedias,
oould trace out tho real family name
of the ruler* of Europe. As a mat-
ter i>f fai-t, these aro very complicat-
ed, ami to knov them is quito an
effort of the memory, in thooasoof
royalty the family nauio lias been
in moid eases taken from tho name
of the castle in which tlio founder
of tlio raoo live l.
Mistake* are very frequently made
through ignorance, and thoso mis-
takes aro so frequently quoted they
become accepted facts. The English
royal family aro known, for in-
htanco, as (ludphs, the Russian roy-
al family as HomanotTa and tlio Por-
tuguese kindly house as l!ragau/.as.
All of these, it now seems, are
wrong.
Le Figaro of Paris has gone into
this subject quito extensively, and
the facts that it has brought togeth-
er are well worth setting down.
Queen Victoria, according to this au-
thority, was originally Miss A/on,
or Miss Azoti von Kste. Slio was de-
scended, as were the otlier members
of the housoa of Hrunswick-Luno.
l e«-;r and Hanover, from A/on, mar-
grave of Kste. Tli" Prince of Wales,
the son of Prince Albert of Haxo-Co-
burg, has naturally his father's
name. He is spoken of more correct-
ly than any of tho other royal per-
sonages of Europe. Descended from
the Wotting, which lino was found-
ed in tho twelfth certury, his actual
inline is Mr. Albert Edward Wottin.
Likewise tlie king of Portugal,
strictly speaking, has tho same fam-
ily name. Ho was a grandson of an-
other Prinoo of (Joburg, who mar-
ried the then queen of Portugal, and
thereby became ruler of that coun-
try. Ferdinand of Bulgaria conies
from exactly tho same stock and is
Ferdinand Wet tin. A cousin of his,
and of tli" same family name, is the
pr • :it monarch of Belgium, Leo-
pold II, a prince of Siixo-t'oburg
having ascended the Belgian throne
in 1831.
Hohenzollcrn is not tho family
name of tho German line that i.-
now upon the throne. Their true
name is Zollorn, Tliassilon, tho first
count of Zollorn, having founded
the raoo about s>00. In the year l.'ii i
the Zollorn family had t .vo male de-
scendants—tlio Count of Zollern and
the Bulgravo of Nuremberg. From
tho latter comes the present royal
bouse of tho German empire. So
William II id William Z Hern. The
king of Koumaiiia is another repre-
sentative of this lino and has pre-
cisely the same name.
'Die Capets are: The Duke of fir-
leans, the sons of old Count of Paris,
Don Carlos and Alfonso XIII, the in-
fnrlkingof Spr.in. Their progeni-
tor was Hughes Capet, tho original
count of Paris, who ascended the
throne of Franco in
Of Oldonburgs, founded by the
Count of Oldenburg, who died in
HIO, there are many. Tin chief of
those today who are entitled to use
th's family name aro Christian JX
of Denmark; George I, king of
Greece; the Grand Duke of Olden-
burg, Ernes; Duke of Sleswick-
Holstein, and Nicholas II. emperor
of all tlio Hussias. Emperor Nieho-
lns iRomanoff only tin ugh the
female lino. Rightly he is an < 'Ideti-
Vnr , having de-fended from Peter
II/. a member of fine of tho Holstein
branches of that house.
Francis Joseph, emperor of Aus-
tria-Hungary; tlio queen regent of
Spam and Frederick, grand duke of
Baden, are Ethiehons. The original
JCthichon was a duko of Alsace, who
lived about the year Hit. Jlumbe>,t,
king of Italy is Mr. Savola, and Os-
ear 11 of Sweden, Bernadotto. The
original of this name was king of
Swollen in 1818, and was called
Charles XIV. Pope Leo XIM's real
name is Joachim Peeci. Alexander
J of s'ervia has the name of < ihrono-
witch and Nicholas 1, prince of Mon-
tenegro, is Mr. Niegoeh.
I.Iik'oIii, "tli« Klrxt Auh1 rIrtm."
It was tho return of the raoo to
simple conditions, and its long so
journ in these during the pioneer
period of the middle west, which on-
allied it to give us Lincoln, "the
iir.it American," as Lowell called
him in the deepest inspiration of
his own life. It can, of course, just-
ify hu said that the conditions in
which tho race gave us Lincoln wore
rnde, but 1 think lliat. it is not from
rudeness that the love of equality
(Mimes. Otherwise I cannot under-
aland how the politest society should
always strive for equality among
Its members and that within its
limits it should offer us the truest
image of equality now recognizable
among men.—"Equality as the Basis

As I joe i 1 along the sandy bank*
of the Pi ir fork of the Cumberland
riv. !, letting my homo U ko its own
l,c.i I, 1 caught up with the moun-
tain.*or on a mule, also taking his
time. "Good morning," say 11. "It's
a fine morning for riding."
"Mighty," says he, "of y'ain't rid-
in a mule."
"1 don't know about that; some
of the pleasantoHt rides I've had 111
the mountains have boeu mule-
back."
"That's case yor didn't have ter
ride one only when yer wanted ter.
Ef ver do it frum liuodoossity, it's
different."
"That one you're 011 seems to he
1 a pictty good one."
" Bout ez good ez a mule over gits
ter be, 1 reckon," ho said 111 a tone
indicating his lack of faith in tho
mule.
"What's tho matter with him?"
"He's got his notions."
"What are they? Notions to kick
the top rail oil' the fence?"
"No; he ain't much uv a kicker;
he kinder 'pears ter have a satisfied
sort uv mind ipi takes things pret-
ty much «"/ they come."
"Then what ails him?"
"Well, I want ter git over on t'oth-
er side uv tho fork, an 1 can't till
I uit up here about two miles wliar
tliar's a boat, so's 1 kin ride over in
that."
"Why don't you ride him over?"
"That's what I don't like about
him."
"Why?"
"He's a Baptis' mulo an I'm a
Moth'dis'."
This was a poser and quite beyond
my scope of comprehension. I had
heard of religious prejudices, but
they had never gone so far as to af-
( J ct any other animal than man.
"You will have to explain that
• point," savs I. "It's too far over
I- o
1 for me.

"Well, it's this n-way " he said,
1 with a short laugh. "Ver see, I got
this critter from a Baptis' preacher
that had 1. i •< 1 him from a colt, an
had rid him fer seven ye'rs on cir-
cuit, an wouldn't a parted with him

1 !e was a power tor work, an
the preacher used ter help out his ;
wages let tin tlio mule ter people
when he wuzn't rid 111 him. That's
how 1 i me ter git him. Well, the
preacher never said nothin, an I
never axed nothin, an the i'ust Sun-
day after I got him 1 rid oil ter tho
Meth'dis' nioetin, never thinkin
nothin. About a mile from the moot-
v; house 1 liad ter ford the fork, an
the water wuz purty deep that morn-
in, but the mulu knowed the way,
an I j is' let him have his head. An,
by gum, ho done it, fer when ho

squar' in the crick, tucked his head, |
h'isted his heels an sent me kitin
over his years inter tho water wliar
it WUZ four feet deep ef it wuz a

"Did he run away?" t asked as j
the nionnt.'ii er paused a moment j
to think over it.
"Nary a run," I10 said. "When I 1
come up, sneezin an a-snortin, he ,
wuz wait in thar fer me ez quiet ez '

"While at Washington," said
Wanamaker, "it came under
notice at tho postot'lieo department
that Abraham Lincoln, in his early
life, had I e. 11 postmaster at a small

wanted for president was for once
not wanted for iiostmaster.
"Years afterward it was discover-
ed that no settlement bad reached
Washington of tho affairs of that
little posfoflleo. A visit was made
to Mr. Lincoln and the ease stated.
He rose from his desk and walked
over to a chest of drawers and took
cut a bundle of papers, among tliein
an envelope containing ijilT and some
cents, tho exact sum in identical
money of the government safely in

In the days of the San Gabriel
canyon mining boom in the > .cli-
tics a laree boned andgiganti I !i
anian was known to his rough but
kindly associates as Kicking Tom.
Ho had won the nickname by reason
of the terrilie force with which he
could launch his great sinewy foot
against an opposing obj et. Onoday
a miner brought into camp a Mexi-
can burro, which soon obtained a
wide celebrity as a vicious uiiimn), (
who, when excited, would att < k
man or beast with desperate fury, j
Several mountain ponies had been '
kicked to death by him mi l move
than ono man had nearly lost his '
life by the savage heels of the brute. '
So exciting had become the record :
of the jack's achievements that |
they became the subject of univor- j
sal conversation and inquiry among j
the miners. Sitting Jn their cabins
they spun wonderful tales of what
lie bail done and was capable of do-
ing.
"Ho is the liveliest kicker going,"
said one.
"You aro right, old man. That
beast can kick the hair otY a man's
head without touching tho skin,"
replied one of his companions.
That was touching T0111 in a ten-
der place, and, after a moment's re-
flection, he spoke up with the re-
mark :
"He can't outkick me." Tho ob-
servation was received with amazed
silence.
"Lord, Tom! Why, ho'1 mako
mince meat of you in a minute."
"Would he?" replied the athh tie
Indianian. "Then he can have the
chance. I'm ready to kick for $100,
and may the best mail win."
"Or the best jack," interposed a
companion.
"1 moan what i say, old man, so
don't be too spry with your tongue."
And Tom's brow lowered in . .itlar
ing anger. His friend apologized f >i
the jest, and the crowd dis]. rseil.
The next day the rumor went wild
through the camp that Tom was
wiling to kick the burro for a wa- |
gor. Ill the dusk of the owning the 1
miners gathered in from their work 1
and discussed ilie subject in all its!
bearings. Opinion as to the i 1 it h :
was about evenly divided, if any- j
thing, Tom was the favorib I " . :
these circumstance* a mill 1 r
a side was easily arran I
the beast and the man, and it wes
decided that t he cent! let si, ;. 111 e 1.: j 1 e
otY next Sunday afternoon.
Promptly at the appointed hour
every inhabitant of the canyon and
the villages that have since Town
into Pomona and Pasadena was as-
sembled in a little level spot just
outside the limits of the camp. Tho
preliminaries were quickly arrang-
ed, and the light began. The beast
seemed to take in the situation at a
glance, and, laying back hi- ears, ho
watched his wary opponent with
angry eyes. Suddenly Tom leapt <1
forward and landed a terrific kick
squarely on the junction of the neck
and head.
The brute reeled beforo the force |
of the blow, but recovering on the
instant he wheeled and launched
both heels at his antagonist. The
man leaped aside, and as quick as
lightning responded with another
fearful kick on the burro's neck.
Aral so the conflict raged. Some-
times the jack would get in a sav-
age blow on Ins opponent, butoften-
er the man had the be-1 of ii, and
at last, putting forth all of his won-
derful strength, he landed a kick
with the fury and irn .-lstiiilo force
of a pile driver on the jack's neck,
which had been his objective po:|it
from tho beginning. The i. ast r< 1-
ed hack, and with a convulsive quiv-
er fell over. Tom was terribly
bruised, hut no bones were broken,
and in a few days he was as spry as
ever.—St. Louis Glohc-Democrat.
