THE KIssAND THE LANDLADY,

"Ths Inn Of the Golden Carp" at
. country village near
Munich. was famed far and wide
Tor two things. One was the excellence
If the cookery, and the other was the
,andor of the landlady. Her candOr
was thought by some to amount TO posi-
i've impotence. She was Nm original.
She WIS as independent as q wood saw
yer, and spoke her mind freely TO every
body, regardless of age, sex, present or
previous condition, so to speak. AS
cook she had no rival. She had some
peculiar way Of cooking carp that made
Them taste 80 good that her house never
lacked guests. Il
MAMMALIAN, tho genial king OK
Bavaria, had heard SD much about |
the Inn of the Golden Carp" and tho
wit and the originality Of the landlady,
that he determined to pay her . visit,
accompanied by several OF his stan.
1t was only a few hours drive from
Munich to Hechtheim and one fine
morning, after having notified the
landlady of the anticipated visit. the
king and his suit halted In front Of the
renowned tavern.
The monarch entered the dining
room of the inn and was received with
all possible honor by those present.
He looked around In vain for the land
lady, of whom he had heard 30 much.
"Perhaps she IL dressing herself IN
order TO impress US more favorably,"
thought the king. He accepted some
refreshments that were offered him.
"Your majesty has got the first sam
ple of her impudence," said General

whose breast was adorned with various
orders and decorations.
King Macmillan himself thought
that this failure on the part of the land.
lady to pay him any atteation was
rather impudent, and upon his asking
where she was, the lapdlord, who as
might be supposed did not have much
| to say about the premises, stammefed
that she was preparing the fish for The
royal banquet and that his majesty
would soon see her along with the fish.
| The adjutant OF the king went l nto
the kitchen to SEQ what was the reason
tho landlady WAS 30 impolite. She was
At the stove so busily engaged In cook
ling the carp that she did not show any
signs of being awed by 30 important 4
parsonage as the adjutant thought he
was.
=" Are you the landlady ?" asked the
ladjutant rather abruptly.
az guess I'm not the landlord al
most any fool could see that" was the
tart reply.
"His majesty wishes to see you.
al guess ho'll manage TO hold ou'
until the fish are cooked"

The adiutant returned to King Max
