make ltS appearance
Queen Christina, the widow of Alfonso, has
been appointed queen regent Whether she
is popular or not may have to be determined
by war. This change in the.occupant of the
Spanish throne occurred at the time Of year
when persons passions are less liable to lead
them astray. Had it happened during the
summer, it would have been undoubtedly the
occasion of revolution.
Alfonso's first marriage, to his cousin Mer
cedes, was love match. He mourned her
loss so profoundly that for some time he re-
fused to take a second wife, His countrymen
desired it, however, and his ministers urged
it for reasons of state. Finally he consen ed,
and welded Maria Christina. She now be-
comes regent. Henever pretended, however,
that it it was ether than marriage Of policy,
and the second queens life was not a
particularly happy one. She was not beauti-
full, as Mercedes had Leeh. She had the
large nose and rather dull face of the Aus
trian Hapsburgs. Her nature, too, was
rather cold and reserved, I'LL suited to the
warm Spanish b,oo1 Worst of all, too, the
kings attentions to some of the court ladies
aroused, and with reason, her jealousy.
Strange was it that Marshal Serrano, who
has kept the political pot boiling in Spain for
the past half century, should die the day
after the death of his reputed son, King
Alfonso Serrano was born schemer and
revolutionist His ambition was to rule, and
as events proved he would sacrifice three
fourths of his country provided it secured
him the right to lord it over the remaining
quarter. He did concoct plans on several oc-
cssions by which he was enabled to govern
fer a time, but his power, originating and de-
pnding on fraud, fell through. He would

and the Coroner i Their Traits.
Exchanged
OF the more obvious typos OF poker-pla;

serve consideration. These are the chat.
terer, the silent man and the coroner. The
chatterer is the player who is persistent in
talking, who Is given TO the spinning OF
yarns. whose tongue runs on and rattles
along in the presence Of death or of four
aces But the chatterer is not always bad
player; there is often method in his mad
ness, and now and again he is not swept
away by the food of his own words. There
may be keen eye and q quick brain above
the rapid tongue; and not unfrequ ntly the
chatterer has prescience Of the best time for
passing out
The silent man rarely opens his mouth
save to put cigar into it; he lets his money
talk for him; he is always ready with his
chips; he rarely bluffs, and he never shows
his hand unnecessarily, or reveals q card in
it More frequently than not he is a win
ner. He often takes plain soda or glass
of shorty when others accept the fragrant
iulep or the seductive cocktail When con-
versation becomes general AMI the game

,lleered when it was decreed that he be BAN
ished from Spain forever. And, less than a
year later, fairly went wild over his return
to Madrid. The old conspirator was pleased
to see Alfonso ON the throne, but for appear
ance sake hid his satisfaction. By Alfonso's
death Serrano would, of course, lose the little
remaining influence he possessed, and it may
be that that thought hastened his death. In
the opinion of many of his countrymen it
would have been fortunate thing for Spain
he'd he never been born. He was brilliant
statesman, but of the kind that tear down
instead of building up. Enemies he made in
plenty but he was constantly engaged in put
ting them out of the way. Like his old confrere
O,Donnell, he might have said to the priest
who urged him to forgive his enemies, that
he might obtain mercy ON leaving the earth.
