• Madge Houghton when the well
bored on her father’s farm began to
■pout hundreds of barrels of oil a day
«u seventeen years old. She was
sent to boarding school, hut found the
life there too confining for one to
Whom a beautiful world had been sud-
denly opened, and at the end of the
first term she went home.
Bat In this short time Madge had
picked up various items and had be-
come eager to see the world. She
appeared In Paris under the chaperon-
age of a lady she had met on the out-
ward voyage who took pity on her,
Considering that she was on tho
straight road to perdition.
In Paris at the races which she at-
tended with a party of Americans
■topping at the same hotel with her
Madge met Count (or so called count)
Bivier, and a. proposal burst forth as
suddenly as the oil that bad made her
rich. To jump from the raising of
cabbages to wealth was pleasant, and
to jnmp from plain Madge Houghton
to Countess Rlvler was another de-
lightful rise. Madge accepted the
count at once.
Madge did not consider that there
was any occasion for delay, and the
nuptials were about to he celebrated
when tho Duke D-Alger caught sight
of Madge at the opera and, hearing
that her Income was several ‘Trtmflrcd
barrels of oil a day. straightway so
cored an Introduction. Madge inqulr-
ed aa to the difference in rank between
a count and a duke and was told that
counts were plentiful, while dukes
were few. therefore supply and de-
mand made a duke infinitely more de-
sirable than a count.
D’Alger lost no time in proposing to
Madge and was accepted. How she
waa to get out of her affair with the
count she did not know, nor did she
find a way. To escape her two fiances,
the lied one night by train to Italy.
Her lovers were for some time igno-
rant of her whereabouts and after
they found out were delayed in going
after her from the want of funds. This
gave Madge some respite.
Unfortunately for l*er peace of mind,
In Rome the Prince Caracollni caught
sight of her and heard the story of
her wealth. But he got it mixed. He
understood that she was the owner of
a machine for making barrels; that M
Would torn out a thousand barrels a
day and each barrel was worth a dol-
lar. He at once solicited an Introduc-
tion.
Now, In Italy there as roqjy princes
as there are counts or dukes-in France.
But Madge was told that a prince was
the next highest rank to a king. In
her childhood she had read of princes
and princesses in story books and how
princes had married peasant girls. To
■tep from a garden truck raiser to the
rank of princess was captivating.
Moreover, she got the idea Into her
bead that she might rise from a prin
cesa to a queen. The prineo was not
long in proposing to her, and he was
forthwith accepted.
Madge made a solemn resolution
that ahe would stick to Caraeolinl.
Her ardor, however, was somewhat
dampened by his asking her for a
small loan, and soon after her engage-
ment an Indian rajah, who was stop-
ping at the same hotel with her on the
EsquUino bill, broke into Her plans.
The rajah saw Madge in the dining
hall of the hotel ope day when he had
taken It into his head to diue there!
instead of his rooms. He knew or
cared nothing for her barrels of oil,
but Madge bad on her a thousand dol-
lar costume and her pretty complexion
could not be spoiled? by the eosinatics
she used. The rajah sent one of her
suite to ask for on introduction.
The upshot of this matter was that
the rajah asked Madge to he his wife.
He probably meant one of his wives;
but Madge did not understand it so.
It wlls explained to her that the rajah
was a ruler in India, and she would
be what iu other countries would be
equivalent to a queen. As to wealth,
Madge's fortune would be to the rajah's
us a huckleberry to a watermelon.
This was the first of all her pro-'
posals that seemed to come from the
heart of the proposer. Madge might
have been affected by it had it not
been that the rajah looked very much
like a picture of Bluebeard in a story
book Madge had flossessed when she
was a child. To be a queen would
be delightful; but to be the wife of a
fat black man with piratical whiskers
and an evil eye w as a stumbling block
in her route to happiness.
However, Madge had climbed the
ladder to the top rung and could climb
no higher. She married the rajah, and
tho bride and groom left Rome just
in time to escape the count and the
duke, who had finally succeeded in
raising the funds necessary for tho
journey to Home. As to the prince,
tile rajjah sent him a gem worth $100,-
000, which healed his wound.
One morning several years after this
liappened a young woman appeared at
a blown out oil well in Pennsylvania.
In the pale cheeks and anguish stamp
ed features no one would recog-
nise Madge Houghton. Having got in
I the rajah’s way, she had been ordered
' poisoned, hut had escaped and made
her way to America. In. her purse
wore a few pieces of silver, all that
was left of her fortune in oil. But
she still owned the farm.
■’Bin going back to garden truck,
she said.
And she did. and lived happily ever
'“afterward.

Recent engagements have developed
the fact that torpedo boat destroyers
are used almost wholly as torpedo
boats. So they are really battleship

Palestine.
Palestine, or (lie Holy Land, in not in

tloucd to its moral and historical posi-
tion as the theater of the input momen-
tous events in the world's history. It is
less than 140 miles in length and bare-
ly forty miles in average width. Barth
quakes more or less violent have been
of frequent occurrence in Palestine.
One of the most violent occurred In
the reign of tzzlab. This was connect-
ed .by Josephus with the sacrilege ami
punishment *of that monarch. The
springs of Palestine, though for the
most part short lived, are remarkable
for their abundance and beauty, espe-
cially those which full into the Jordan
and its lakes throughout its course.
Where Thi* Stupid Animal Pose* as a
Student of Astronomy.
For an animal that is rated so low
in the scale of intelligence as the turtle
it is really amazing to note the keen
sense of intuition they display.
There is. u tradition among the na-
tives of Venezuela that turtles will not
begin to lav their eggs until the South-
ern Cross, which is the characteristic
object of the firmament in tho southern
hemisphere, is completely 1 formed
that is, not until the four stars which
form the cross hare moved On through
the heavens und have reached a posi-
tion perpendicular to the horizon.
It is even reported by a member of
one exploring expedition in Venezuela
that at midnight, when the turtles
were being watched by the naturalists,
the great mass of creatures went buck
into the waters without laying, leaving
but n few of their companions behind
them to act as sentinels.
At half past 2 in the morning, at the
moment when the Southern Cross
seemed exactly perpendicular to the
horizon, a great motion was perceived
>m the shore of the river, and the tur-
tles came out in battalions. They scat
tered rapidly in all directions, dug
holes in the sand, deposited their eggs
mid then covered up the places, taking
great pains to leave the surface smooth
und flat as they bad found It.—Argo-

YOUNG FARMER HANGS
HIMSELF OVER WORRY
ABOUT REGISTERING
All the Roman emperors took their ulilcs
title from the first emperor—our old
friend of schoolboy days—Julius Cno-
nar. When Charlemagne founded tho
holy Roman empire ami was.crowned
emperor, lie took the name caesar or,
in the frankIsh form, kaiser. When
ihe modern German empire was estab-
lished in 1S71 the German emperor,
William I., grandfather of the present
kaiser, took the same title—kaiser.
Similarly the rulers of the eastern
empire at Constantinople, successors to
the old Roman empire, called them-
selves caesar. Every petty chieftain or
prince in the territory surrounding the
eastern empire copied the custom and
called himself caesar or czar. In the
course of time, however, the greatest
of these, the czar of liluskovy, conquer-
ed the other czars until he was the sole
or practically the sole ruler called czar.
However, the king of Bulgaria, when a
few years ago he hud himself crowned
as king, took the title of czar.—Pitts

Restless Nature.
Nothing in nature is absolutely per-
manent. Changes are going on slowly,
hut steadily, every moment, parts of
the earth being elevated above the sea,
parts sinking below it, the ocean weal-
ing away tbo coast in one place and
building it out in another, and so on to
infinity.
Asphalt.
Asphalt, with which so many roads
are paved, was found by accident.
Many years ago in Switzerland natural
rock asphalt was discovered, and for
more than fa century it was used for
the purpose of extracting the rich
stores of bitumen it contained.
Th# Gordian Kno^
As the old legend goes, the father of
the Greek King Midas, once king of
Phrygia, was originally a poor peasant
The i>eople of Phrygia being much dis-
lurlw-d, an oracle had informed them
i bat a wagon would bring them a king
who would put an end to all their
troubles. Not long after this saying,
Gordius (Midas’ futher), suddenly ar-
rival iu the midst of an assembly of
tho people, riding in his wngon. At
Mice, to the great surprise of Gordius,
ibcv made him kiug. In his gratitude
Gordius dedicates the wagon to the god
Zens, and it was placed in the acroiio-
lis ut Gordium. The pole of the wagon
was tied to the yoke by a knot of hark,
nuil a second oracle declared that who-
ever untied that knot should reign over
all Asia. It was Alexander who untied
the knot by cutting it with his sword,
thus assuming himself to lie the man
referred to by the oracle.
