Accession of Albert
Paris. —An heir baa been born to
the official pretender to the throne of
France. The Bonapartist party is re
joicing over the arrival of a prince
imperial, and the mother of the lit
tle prince, who was Prlncesa Clemen
tine of Belgium, declares she ia the
happiest woman In the world. She
has prayed for a son, and now the
son is born.
It was a real royal romance, that of
Prince Victor Napoleon and the Bel

waited for each other; for old King
Leopold, the father of the princess,
forbade their marriage. The mere

he warned bis youngest daughter
against the fatal prompting of her
heart and fancy. He -reminded her,
his expiring breath, of the
Bourbon blood in her veins, of the
position of her fiance as the undis
puted head of the Bonaparte family,
and of the Irreconcilable feud between
the two sets of pretenders to sover
eignty In France —the royalist and im
perialist
The engagement between the prin
cess and the pretender to the hypo
thetical throne of the French was a
somewhat romantic one. For 24
since he was exiled from
France, the chief of the Bonapartlsts
had lived in Brussels. His life, to out
ward appearance, was of somewhat
morose resignation. He did not plot
in his great house on the Avenue
Louise, but neither did he a£ow con
tentment with his lot.
Brussels is a comparatively small
city, but the first Inkling of the fact
that the prince and the princess were
attentive was given at on? of the
horseback paper chases which are
among the favorite recreations of
Brussels society. At this paper chase
Prince Victor waa victorious and Prin
cess Clementine attached the trophy,
a bunch of ribbons, to his coat. Her
act appeared significant At once the
engagement was declared to be cer
tain.
Shortly after this Prince Victor
drove to the great royal palace In
Brussels to ask the old king fqr the
hand of his daughter. And now the
subtle genius of the crafty monarch
displayed Itself In all Its power. Re
ceiving the French pretender with the
exquisite deference bis manner could
assume, the wily king professed his
perfect willingness to accept the

itself depended upon French good will
When the Bonaparte pretender,
after liatenlng to this exposition ol
dynastic diplomacy, ventured to speak
of love, Leopold's only reply. It was
said, was "inextinguishable laughter."
But the prince had formed an endur
ing affection for the princess and he
was resolved to bide his time.
And the grim old king kept his
youngest daughter a prisoner. It was

her room without the prior permission
of her inexorable parent Dally she
was summoned to the presence of her
father, who put to her the query:
"Will you swear never to see this
man?"
The answer of the princess was the
sweetest, but the 'firmest; for she
never forgot her sense of duty to her
parent, whom she tenderly loved when
all the world was filled with loathing
for his vices. And the old king who
hated his wife, hated his sister, hated

When he came home to Brussels
from the dancing girls qf Paris, from
his senile Junketing on the Riviera, it
was she who nursed him back to a
kind of health and decency. She drove
abroad with him, and when she was
with him the people did not hoot blm

they lifted their hats to the Princess

turning bald and waxing fat In those
long years of waiting tbe princess
grew to be a symbol—a symbol of un
happy love for the entire nation.
Calm Belgian sweethearts promised
each other to love like Clementine.
Six years they waited. And then
King Leopold died and King Albert
ascended the throne.
With his accession the royal objec
tions were removed. This was due
largely to the attitude of Prince Vic

from attending official fetes and cere
monies in Brussels and from In any
way embarrassing the relations of
Belgium and France. As soon as court
etiquette allowed the two faithful
sweethearts were married at Mon

WHEN SPIDER GOES A-WOOING
Peculiar Method of Courtahlp as It
Aas Been Noticed by an In
terested Observer.
The lovemaklng of the garden spi
der Is very Interesting.
The male spider, which can be dis
tinguished from the female by his
small size and knobbed palpi, begins
by throwing out silk till he manages
to make a road between himself and
the middle of the female's web. Ho
then runs along this road, raising his
front legs at Intervals. The female
remains motionless In the center of
the web.
. The male then runs to her and rap
idly pats her on the back, sometimes
with two front legs, sometimes with
four. He then returns to hla starting
point
Next time perhaps the female comes
to meet him vith "open arms." He
then rushes to her, but no sooner has
he reached her than she folds up her
legs and pretends to be unconscious
of his presence. At this he again rap-
Idly pats her on the back, orten when
the female is Ih the middle of fcer web
he tries to attract her by shaking
his silken road as hard as he can.
This courtship takes a very long
time. The affair from which I took
these notes occupied In fact two days,
unless It was that more than one raalo
took part In the performance.
The length and monotony of" these
courtships Is, however, sometimes
varied by a rival lover, who In the
middle of tbe courtship suddenly de
scends on the web by a road of his
own; and, should he not find tbe fe
male at home, runs' along the road of
his rival, and often drives him off.
In this case the new lover became
tired of his courtship very quickly,
and in about five minutes went away,
allowing the first lover to return.—

near Neufcbatel. Instead, he waited
until 2 a. m. and then attempted to
run himself home In a long passenger

' Tbe train was to have started a few
hours later, and tbe engineer bad his
fires banked and steam up. Tbe work

who was handed over to the police.

Brollsr Raising Is a Specialty In Poul*

Profit to Worksr.
(By PROF. A. S. ALEXANDER.)
Chicks can endurs cold weatner bat
ter than extreme heat Dissase, lice
and mites always come with the sum
mer mouths, and the expense of feed
ing Is no greater In winter. Profits
can be realized from broods hatched in
November, December and January.
The winter hatches do not grow as
fast as the spring ones, but a heavier
coat of feathers is grown. They
feather fast la the winter ntbnths
and are more solid and oompact and

and May when prlcea are at the high
est point.
Broiler raising is a specialty in
poultry work and returns good profit
to those who are successful. Tbe one
who has his own fowls can make sure
of the fertility ot the eggs used.
I raise three and four thousand
chickens every year, and find tbe per
centage of mortality small In the win
ter and early spring. The cost of rais
ing . broiler ohlcks in January and
February is no greater than in May
and June. The latter are marketable
In July and August when the market
is glutted.
The April and May returns are from
36 to 60 cents per poudd, 0 to 80
cents per chicken, wblci* costs abottt
26 cents to raise—a very good profit
On the other hand the August price
shows but a small margin of profit
with a lower per cent of hatches
and larger per cent of mortality.
The secret of profit from brollsr
ra!sln| is to produce high claas broil
era that will bring top prices at the
smallest cost with rapid growth. Eggs
averaging high in fertility, produced
by stock that Is strong and vigorous,
make the battlo half won at the start
The business is not only good now,
but will be even better in the future,
as wild game disappears. Much of the
prairie chicken and quail served at
fashionable hotels are nothing more
or less than common guinea bens and
pigeons. When a knowledge of this
fact becomes more common the do
mestic ben will become more popu
lar and her products consequently
higher in price.
