"Kinp; Shall Edward Be, But Never Shall Be Crowned," Ran Ono Of Them. King Edward's illness recalls the many prcdiclioos which have been made that he would never be crowned. The dismal prophecies have boon es pecially frequent during the Isst year. The time for the fulfillment of some of them his passed, but others aro still pend ing, and his failure to recover from the operation certainly would be regarded by the believers in prophecies as another proof of their value. That the Kiog himself was not oblivi ous to the words of the prophets and that he was not free from foreboding has been mentioned often as a trait in bis charac ter. Ever since the death of Oueen Yictoiis, it is said, he has been haunted by a superstitious fear that be would not live to be crowned. Reports have been current in London siooc his accession A.

When father, mornings, makes the fire For sometimes mother's sick We children run and climb a tree All on the double-quick; And though we climb up to the top, We wisn the tree was higher, For chips just scatter everywhere When father makes the fire. We always know when its his turn, 'Cause 'fore he comes down stairs He rips out words that sound just like Our iceman when he swears, And cats and dogs and hens and geese From out his path retire, And scat 'way out to our back lot When father makes the fire. Then 'fore he gives the kitchen stove A rakin', like as not, He kicks the scuttle 'cross the floor And breaks the coffee-pot, And when he takes the ashes out The fates and him conspire, To sift them on the table-cloth When father makes the fire. They say that war is terrible, And plagues and pestilence, And that they bring to sons of men Great suffering and expense. But I'll just bet they can't compare With woes that we acquire Whn ma's away, or sick abed, And father makes the fire.

Rochester Post-Express. t 11 J tioos of evil which had been made about him aod that he was unable to shake bis mind free of them. It is ssid the prophecy that gave the Kiog the most uneasiness was made at about the time of his birth, aod is as fol lows : King shall Edward be, But never shall be crowned. As the date of the eoronstion ap proached his thoughts recurred with in creasing frequency, it is said, to this prophecy. Anotner preaiction was made by a gypsy crone in London before Queen Victoria's death. The woman had achieved some fame by making predic tions which bad boen proved true in re gard toother reigning families in Europe, She said : me rnnce 01 Wales will be killed as Boon as a great honor haa been conferred upon him." Henrietta Coaesdon, who pretended to be able to talk with the Angel Gabriel and who attracted attention in Paris in 1896, is said to have predicted that King Edward would not reign long and that he would die in 1902 after a "surgica operation. Mile Couesdon at the same time predioted that the German Emperor would meet with a violent death in 1902. Raphael, a London astrologer, at the beginning of the present year, said the planets were unfavorable to Kiog Ed ward, aod he added : 'Let care be takeo of his Majesty's health and person." Another astrologer, who oalled himself "Zadkiel," drew a horoscope of the Kiog at the time of bis birth in 1841. It was of the non-committal kind that might be twisted by the superstitious into a pre diction of what has happened, but no details were given. THE MAN WE CAN'T FORGIVE. "We can forgive the one who injures us, said a wise student of human nature, "but the one whom we find it almost im possible to forgive is the ooe whom we have injured." rre do not state tne esse in tbat way to ourselves; nevertheless it is true, I There is nothing tbst will more surely I incline us to dUike another than the J knowledge that we have wronged him His acts, whatever they may be, take on I unworthy motives to us. It ta easy to I believe aoy evil report coooeroiog him I The eight of hint awakens our animosity VI by? Beoause deep in the spirit, too I deep for our oooscious recognition of it, perhaps, lies a desire to justify ourselves, I and to prove that he deserved the treat I ment we have given him. For the one who has wronged us may find excuses, but for the one whom we have even a secret suspioion of hav iog wrooged there is solaoe in finding condemnation. The sight of him asakea us uncomfortable; his presence wounds our self-respect. We cannot forgive him lor making it impossible to forgive our selves. "What has he ever done to you?" I the question commonly asked aa aa noex j pHttuwu CQSitty Ui&QuvStS Imm;,,. A tfuvi- lion we might more profitably ask our selves would be. "W bat have we ever done to him?" No More Electric Fans Will Ever Bo Used In That Meet ing House. A minister in Trenton, in the state of trusts, has contracted for a number of electric fans with which he calculates to rob bis parisbionsis of one popular ex ouse for remaining away from Service. He is not the first io this field, how ever. The pastor of a western church secured a big fan last July snd fastened it oo the front of the gallery at the back ol the auditorium. Tbe fan worked ell until on one eventful Sunday it ran away. It revolved so fast tbat it startled tbe entire congregation sll exoept Desoon Briseom, who always slept like "Rip Van Winkle" in the middle of bis loLg nsp. The deacon didn't wake up until a violent fit of sneezing spprised him that he was tbe draft. Why, that wheel created such a heavy gale that it blew the new hats of sister Jane Stebbios and Petunia Brown clear up to the grained ceiling. Elder Baxter Pbinney's wig followed the hats, aod the sheets of the pastor's sermon edded about the big chandelier like a flock of white doves. All this time tbe angry roar of tbe wheel could be heard clear down the pike as far as Ab Greenlee's general store, but it was oot uotil the wind rolled little Milliken clear up to the ohaocel rail, aod then flung the orgaDist head foremost ioto tbe keyboard, tbat Johnnie Scraggs hsd the presence of mind to creep down the basement stairs and switch off the current. And that's the last electrio fan tbat they'll ever Bet up in that meeting house. Cleavcland Plain Dealer. onMll rnde Mark Brand." t tories Dealers Ia Staplel ana Fancy w-FRUITS.
