AN AI'I'KAL FOR I'BACK, l.n closing his "reunion address" at tli?' gathering of the Confederate Vet erans nt Richmond Tuesday, l)r, Henry \V, Hattle, of Charlottesville, Vn.i au Id : "Fifty years luive passed since ('Jen em 1 l.ce surrendered at Appomattox.

Yes. we are at home in our father's house, at home to stay. Within our borders all Is peace.

" An exchange truthfully remarks: "If young boys and girls could only under stand how happy it makes their parents when they are doing well' and con ducting themselves like ladles and gen tlemen. It seems to us they would make a greater etfo'rt than they do to avoid evil deeds and acts. A greater part, of the pleasure In this life, to the parents. Is found in (In? success and welfare of their children going out of their home. And much of the misery is eaused by waywardness and mis deeds of sons and daughters."

By WILI-AHD BLAKEMAN There wa? once a principality called l?li< Wild, the prince of which died. leaving on I, j one daughter. NarcUsa. Mm- iMtimif the ?ovcrelgn. NlltljMi from her earliest youth had beep M HtudloUH person. , - ibe principality of Idle wild woh very like those of Italy during that period when great poet* and artist* flourished and the practical gaye place to the ten t linen tai. Shortly after the coronation of the new aovereign the prime minister wa? replaced by a poet whose verses were Betting the Idlewlld<*ius crazy. This change was followed by the, replace ment of the secretary of war by a lady who had made u great reputation as a reproducer of Oreek festal dances. Then wan the portfolio of finance glv t*u to a man whose performances ou the v|olln had often moved audiences to tear* The minister pf the Interior was replaced by a woman whose reel tatlons were considered marvelous. Thus did Princess N aretes a replace ?? practical cabinet by an artistic one. Many of the people were delighted with the now managers of affairs of state, but a few shook their heads and pi ophesied that the new departure would not bp successful. 1 he new cabinet had hardly been formed - when King \Volfgang IV. of Tessoblancu sent a deputation to Idle wild asking for the repayment of a long standing debt due him by the principality. The prime minister re ceived the diplomats, addressing them In hexameters, lauding their sovereign and welcoming thorn to Idlewild, then turned them over to the minister of linance. Who poured forth such melo dies on h|s v)olln that they were -hi raptures, forgetting all ubout the debt they had been sent to collect. They were about to return to the king of TeSsebianca when one,of their number remembered*- that . the king would probably ask for the funds. He ventured' to reoj>en the subject and was informed that the matter proper ly belonged to the Interior department and the head of that bureau would ad dress them. Having been introduced her, she gave them one of Demos illen.es' orations In the original <ireek. transporting them with admiration. The embassy departed, too full qt amotion for utterance, and made'thelr way back to Tessebianea. Before reaching home the spoil under Which they had been brought had been dis solved under -the heat and dust of the ? Journey, and they knew not what re- j port they should make to the king as' to the results of their mission. After a conference they decided to tell Ids majesty that the government of Idle wild had refused to discuss the quesj tlon of the debt due Tessebianea and had sent them away with many com pliments for his majesty, but no money. Now. the king was a rigidly prac tical sovereign. He scoffed at the compliments paid him in hexameters and forthwith declared war against Idlewild. sending there a hundred 'gentlemen on horseback wijh twenty trumpeters to proclaim a state of bos-" tility between Tessebianca and Idle wild. When these gentlemen reached the borders of Idlewild they sent word to the princess. Inviting her to come out and listen to what was in store for he? on account of their sovereign's wrath. The princess sent for the minister of war, and the two were closetcd to gether for an hour. A Messenger was then sent to the war proclaimers that the princess would listen to the proc lamation the next morning. There upon the deputation, at. the invitation of a country gentleman, went in camp on ids lawn, that was level and greeh"/ as the surface of a billiard table. They had scarcely breakfasted the next morning when, hearing music, i they looked up and saw a company of ! dancers beaded by the war minister of Idlewild dancing exquisitely. For two hours, with intermissions for rest, these ladies danced before the pro claimers of war, then invited them to llston to a fantasia on the violin by tho minister of finance. These exer- j cises were followed by others from dif ferent members of tho cabinet, and the program was continued the next day. One of the proclaimers, with a soul small that It could be stuffed into a hazelnut, left the festivities and, gal loping to bis sovereign, Informed him of what was taking place--' Ills majes ty, in a towering rage, mounted his horse nnd never stopped till he-bad-^ .come upon bis proclaimers of war be ing entertained by tho * Idle wildeans. By this time the princess lind come on tho ground, and the king, of course, [;rode up to the canopy under which she sat on her throne and, dismount ing, advanced to make an angry pro test rigalnst the winning over of his messengers. " r ? ' Tho nueen silled so sweetly upon the king that the angry word on his lip I was turned to a compliment. She then introduced her prime minister, who read his hexameter eulogium on the king, and the prime minister was fol lowed bv others of the cabinet To make a long story short, the king I married the princess, nnd war in that! land was nover afterward known. What a pity the governments of Eu rope could not hTtve been governed by sovereigns like tho princess of Idle wild! It would hare sared the people from the greatest war that bat ever been fought COMING! } COMING! ajestic Theatre SATURDAY, JUNE 5TH The Sensational Laugh Festival BERT LEVEY Presents Marie Dressier, Supported by Mabel Normand and Charley Chaplin, in Six Reels of Real Comedy.
