CGflDENSED STORIES.
Reason-; Far His Admiration of Lis
Redoubtable Dvvvey.
Not long ago a party of Iv ashin o rr
ton people took a yachting trip
along the coast. Among the guests
was a daughter of a prominent found sen¬
ator, who during the day her¬
self next to a modest, quiet looking
v oung man, who seemed a stranger
to most of the party and whose
name she had not quite heard, re¬
lates the Chicago Chronicle, in
some way or other tlicir con versa
tion from talk the that ordinary acquaintances chitchatted
small new
usually begin on drifted into jiol
itics, and the young girl found her-
6eif soon smartly quarreling with
the young man on the subject of
Admiral Dewey, for whom she seem¬
ed to feel immense disdain, possibly
sharpened by the fact that her com¬
panion took a directly opposite
point of view, contradicted her con¬
stantly and even stood up for what
she considered the admiral's most
glaring defects. Finally in sheer
desperation she left his side and,
crossing to the hostess of- the yacht,
said in a thoroughly impatient voice:
“Who on earth is that stupid man
I’ve been talking to?”
“Stupid!” said her hostess. “Why,
I never found him so. He’s rather
quiet and unassuming, but never
stupid, indeed.”
“Oh, well,” said the girl, “he has
such a slavish adoration and admi
ration for the redoubtable Admiral
Dewey.” ho
“Well, and why shouldn’t
have,” exclaimed the other lady,
“and the admiral his own father?’’
“The Splendor of the Man!”
Talking of jewelry, how regretta¬

FOR THE LsTTLE ONES.
Youth of Queen Isabella. the Friend of
Columbus.
Every American boy should lie
interested in the instory of the
great queen of Spain who pawned
J or jewels to buv vessels wiDi s* lii..n
to send Christopher Columbns out
to discover the new world.
Isabella Madrigal, was Spain. Lorn April Her 22, father, 1451, j
t Castiie,
King John, was king of
men a separate kingdom, now named oniy
a province of Spain. She was
in honor of her mother, a princess her
of Portugal, who brought obscure tip
daughter very simply in the
\ illage of Arevalo. At the age of
eleven the little princess was be¬
trothed to Prince Carlos of Aragon,
who was cruelly poisoned. Other
matches were arranged for her, but
with great spirit the princess re¬
fused them and insisted on marry¬
ing Prince Ferdinand of Aragon.
Isabella was heiress to the throne,
so her marriage was a matter of
great importance * to the country.
October, 1469, after a romantic
courtship Ferdinand was married to
his sweetheart at Valladolid, Spain,
and her brother, the king, dying,
she was proclaimed queen of Oastiie
Dec. 13, 1474. When, in January,
1478, Prince Ferdinand succeeded
to the throne of Aragon, the two
kingdoms were united, .and the peace
of the Spanish peninsula seemed as
wired. It was under the reign of
Ferdinand that the Moors were ex¬
pelled from Spain and driven back
to Africa. In 1493, against the ad¬
vice of the court, the queen pawned
her jewels to help the needy adven¬
turer, Christopher Columbus, whose
discovery of a new continent was
the glory of her land and reign.
This good and wise queen died at
Medina del Campo, Spain, Nov. 26,
1504.

McNulty and Laura Keans.
A story is told of Laura Keene,
the actress, who while playing in
New York occupied a room in a ho
tel opposite a liquor saloon where
Barney McNulty, the comedian of
her company, who was a favorite of
hers, spent much of his time. Bar¬
ney was often called on to do such
favors for Miss Keene as the for
„ rJi ° of u , !e ° , ram5j rcai ]i„ g ° „f
letters and making any little pur¬
chase for personal or stage use. One
morning McNulty called to sec if lie
could-make himself useful and in
stead of an errand received a lec- !
^ and hc stood and took it :

Keene went on to teil Bar

Thereupon Barney put on a bold;
front and with the airs of injured
innocence exclaimed:
“AYhat! Ale up late in a barroom
telling stories?”
“Yes,” said Miss Keene. “I heard
you with my own ears. Don’t I
know your voice?”
“Oh, you might have heard my
voice, Miss Keene; I admit that. I
have a habit of talking in my sleep.”
