I HIS REWARD |
(Original. ]
Far bark in the past when Europe
?was composed of petty kingdoms Jean
Teterault, a country lout, drove his
mule can Into the capital of his coun
try. loaded with cabbages. He had
scarcely passed the wall before he no
ticed Hags ttyiug from the houses,
crowds iu the streets and every ap
pearance of a holiday.
"'Vhat is goiug on?" asked Jean.
gV -ig.
"What is going on. stupid? Why. do
you not know that the queen comes of
age today?"
? '1 tie queen comes of age? What are
they going to do?"
"She receives congratulations and
presents and enters upon directing the
government."
"Presents?"
"Yes. you fool, presents, nave you
? present for her?"
"Why. no." Jean replied musingly,
"unless she would accept my cab
bages."
"The very thiug." replied the inform
ant. "Her majesty is very fond of
them. 1 would advise you to offer them
by all means "
Jean whipped lip his mule and as
soon as he had g >ne there came a burst
of laughter from those who had heard
the conversation, but .lean, not hearing
It. drove to the palace, bent on laying
his present at the queen's feet. Many
loungers were there, and he said to one
of th^m: ?
"1 wish to see the queen."
"Oh. you do? Well, go right in
there."
"I am going to offer her these cab
bages. Will you watch them for me
(' He 1 atn gone?"
,'ertainly. Here, comrades. This
fellow has brought a load of cabbages
for the queen."
Jean left his cabbages with them
and. going to the door, joined with
magnates who were going iu to con
gratulate her majesty, aud so dense
was the crowd that lie was not noticed
by the attendants Once in he was
suffered to go ou with the rest and soon
found himself iu a late near the throne
When it came his turn to speak to the
queen she drew back in surprise.
"I have come." said Jean, "to cou
gratulate your majesty aud have
brought my present? a load of cab
bages."
The attendants, seeing something
was wrong, pressed forward to re
move the countryman, but the queen
would uot permit. She asked Jeau
where hi* gift was and directed that It
be brought nto the*; ilace: then, giving
Jean her hand to kiss, she ordered that
he l>e conducted to the door. There he
found his guard, whose laughter was
turned to astonishment at seeing uu
official of the palace conduct Jeau and
his cart to the royal kitchen.
Ten years passed. The queeu was
at war. and the marshal In command
of her forces was driving everything
before hiui. lu his army was a geu
eral who had risen from the ranks.
Ha-, iug a genius for war he had risen
rapidly aud now commanded oue of |
the wings of the army. Oue day he
was missiu:. from his comuiaud. He
had gone secretly to the capital aud so
licited an audience with the queen, j
whi. U was immediately granted.
"What, general, can be the meaning |
of your return from the front at such |
a time?" asked the queen iu surprise, j
"Certainly the marshal needs your ;
services."
"I have come to warn your majesty ,
of danger "
"Danger? What danger? Have uot j
my armies been successful every- j
where?"
"Too successful, your majesty. Suc
cess has turned our leader's head. He
proposes to march back to the capital,
seize the treasury, eurich his generals,
give to the nu n plentifully, depose his
sovereign and put himself iu her place."
The queen paled; then suddenly re
covering her contideuce' she said an
/ ?rl!v. -(Jive me proof of this or march
\ away from the palace to your execu
tlon."
The general produced a paper signed
by the marshal which had been sent
him for his signature. It stipulated
that for his support of the intended
movement he was to receive a fortune.
The queeu well knew the marshal's
signature and sank down overcome.
"Who will save me?" she cried.
"I will." said the general. "Give me
the. command of your troops and 1
will hold them to their duty."
"Can you?"
-1 am sure of it."
-And why have you alone stood by
me?"
-Do you remember the day you came
of ace ami how a country ma u Ignorant
of royal ways brought you a load of
cabbages for a present?"
"I do."
"And your majesty Instead of turn
ing him over to be dogged accepted
his present and permitted him to kiss
your royal hand?"
"I do."
"I am that i>easant. I will save your
throne for you."
The queen quickly called for pen and
paper and in a moment General Teter
ault was appointed commander of all
her forces. As she hauded him the
paper she said:
"If you are faithful and succeed your
reward shall be"?
_ "Pardon me. your majesty, I prefer
to fis my own reward."
A few mouths later Geueral Teter
ault rode into the capital at the head
of a victorious and loyal army. Alight
ing at the palace he was received by
fcls sovereign.
"Your reward, general?" she asked
after her congratulations.
"That I may once more kiss your
majesty's hand."
FLORENCE ETHEL CHOSBY.
C4LC IALKS
Delegate True to People and
Platform
j Speaking at Seattle, through the
! Post- Intelligencer last week, Hon.
I Thomas Cale, Alaska's delegate to the
j 60th congress, answering the question:
"Mr. Cale, what is Alaska's greatest
need? what is the work, above all else,
for which you will labor while at Wash
ington?" said:
I "The people of Alaska are more in
terested in securing a territorial form
of government than in anything else
that is before them at present. That
is the subject nearest ami dearest to us
all. We don't mean, of course, to go
into all the ramifications of local self
go\eroment, into township and county
organizations, as is done in the older
settled countries. We simply wish ?
and it is a natural want of American
citizens? to be empowered to legislate
for ourselves.
"In our effort for this local self
government we expect the aid of the
state of Washington, particularly of
Seattle, the irateway to Alaska, which
the trade of the northern country has
done so much to build up. We believe
we have reason to expect that Seattle
and Washington will give us>ll possible
support in this work. I want to say
that we (eel very grateful to Mr. Cush
man and Mr. Piles for the work they
have already done in our behalf, and for
the kindly support they have given
everything that was for the interest of
Alaska.
"We realize that it is absolutely im
possible to bring people on the outside
to gra.->p fully and properly o'ir condi
tions in the North. No matter how
kindly disposed the general government
might t>e towa."d Alaska, the great dis
sacce ftvrn that country and the vast
amount of local detail to be worked out
would make it impoosible to give the
people of Alaska the kinti ot local gov
ernment that wouU satisfy them. And
then, you know the Americans desiie to
mauage their own affairs. No one else
can manage one's affairs as well to suit
a man as the man himself. Under
present conditions, though we contri
bute revenue to the general govern
ment. we have nothing to say about how
much we shall pay, how it shall be col
lected, or what disposition shall be
made of it. These are vital points.
"Many people in Alaska are saying
that Alaska will never be a permanent
community until these home rights are
extended them, It cannot be expected
American citizens will be conteut to
stay where they have no voice in the
management of their affairs. But we
believe, of course, that we are to get
that right, and that Alaska will be able
to build up a permanent population."
