The Grand Duke of Saxe-Welmar,
who is the next heir of Queen Wllhel
mina, is a wealthy young prince, 28
years of age, unmarried, and has, in
Germany, a reputation for perpetrating
"bulls." Once, while visiting a public
school, he noticed two boys of striking
similarity in appearance.
"Why, what a remarkable likeness!"
he exclaimed. "These lads must surely
be twins!''
"Yes, your roynl highness," remarked
the principal, and he beckoned the two
frightened youngsters to him.
"Ah," said the prince, placing his
hand on the head of one of them,
"what is your name?"
"Heinrich."
"And how old are ycu?"
"Six." answered the boy.
"And you?" he said, turning to the
ether lad. Harper's Weekly.

FAMOUS ELKS COOK IS DEAD.
Dora Couts Dies of Blood . Poisoning
After Brief Illness.
Dora Couts is dead at the age of 36.
There is nothing in this simple an
nouncement to create &ny special in
terest because Dora was "known rather
by her work than by name. , For. eight
years she has been in charge of the
kitchen at the Elks.- There are fey
prominent people in Topeka who have
not tasted of the food prepared by her
skillful hands. If the cuisine at the
Elks has been famous it was because
Dora made it so. If any one wanted a
steak done just right or a wild duck
served as only an expert can serve it
he annealed to Dora and it is not writ
ten that he was ever (disappointed.
There is probably n one' in the coun
try to whom is entrusted the delicate
duty of ministering to the sated palates
of bachelors who has had as few com
plaints. She made a record of which
any one might be proud. It was known
that she did her work well and never
slighted a task. -
S it a v
Dora Couts, the Elks Cook, Who Died
Last Night.
About a year ago Dora's sister died
after a lingering illness from con
sumption. Much of the care and at
tention given her came from Dora as
well as the expense of her illness and
burial. The days following her death
Dora was not- herself and after re
peated urglngs she confided to one of
"her beys" that she had -not been able
to pay all of the funeral expenses
when due. A paper was circulated
among tho members of the club who
knew Dora as a member of the big
club family and the , expenses were
paid and Dora never knew where the
money came from excepting "the boys
seat it back to me."
; At noon yesterday there appeared
on the bulletin board at the Elks club
the brief sentence, "Dora is dying,"
and for the remainder of the day the
conversation was hushed and Dora'j
name was frequently on the lips of the
members as they inquired as to her con
dition. Her illness was brief, but dur
ing the time she wanted for naught
that money or friend could provide.
Vases about the rooms filled with flow
ers show that her friends were think
ing of her even after she was forced to
surrender her place at the club, to an
other. Either Mrs. Barns or her
daughter for whom she had worked
since Mr. Barns has had charge of the
Elk club for the past six years, were
with her almost constantly for the past
week day and night.
The funeral ' will belerd from the
colored .'Baptist .' cti wrcft,i - Wednesday at
3 p. m. The employes of the Elk club
will act as pall bearers.
VP EROM THE 'RANKS.
Successful Climb of tle New President
of tho Illinois Central.
James T. Harahan on Wednesday was
made the executive head of the Illinois
Central railway system. With the con
troversies that resulted in his selection
or with the financial politics which
brought it about there is no concern
here. All that is considered here is th
commentary afforded on the common
assertion" that the poor boy "has no
chance." .
James T. Harahan entered the rail
way service forty-two -years ago as a
section hand a laborer on a petty
railroad in Virginia. He was just one
of many thousands a lad of 21 without
"influence" of any kind with nothing
but his own strong hands and shrewd
brain. He drifted about from one minor
post to another through eight years of
apprenticeship. In 1872 he was made a
roadmaster and began to climb. In 1879
he was a division superintendent, and
in 1884 was made general manager of
a southern railway.
Here he found his ideas in conflict
with those of higher authority, and for
several years he went from one rail
way to another without finding the post
that fitted him. Finally he found it
with a southern railway whose future
consisted chiefly in hopes. In less than
a year he made that railway such a
power in the land that the Illinois Cen
tral was glad to take it over and him
with it, while its owners made fortunes
by the transaction.
And he kept on climbing until he
stands at the top of the great railway
system of the Mississippi valley.
Nobody "made" Mr. Harahan. He
"made" himself. And he "made" him
self by seeing and seizing the opportun
ities which lay open before him, and
which at every stage of his career, up
to the present one, were no wider open
for him than for others.
And Mr. Harahan's-tareer is only one
of hundreds and thousands of such
careers in the past and of thousands
and tens of thousands of. careers which
are being successfully pursued today.
As far as mere wealth and power and
the power that brings wealth is con
cerned the poor boy never had a great
en chance than he has in this nation to
day. Chicago Inter Ocean.
Attempt at Sniclde.
Mrs. F. S. Jillson of 516 Clay street,
attempted to commit suicide late Mon
day afternoon, but was saved by the
intervention of neighbors. She was de
spondent. Her husband arrived today
from St. Louis and will take her back
with him.
