A BABY MONARCH.

The little King of Spain has begun to
exercise his royal privilege of issuing or
ders, which, though they conflict with
public opinion, must be obeyed. His
Majesty has now reached the age when
the place of nurse is usually filled by
tutors and governesses, and his attendant
was accordingly notified, some time ago,
that her services would not be much longer
required, and she might prepare to return
to her husband and children in the coun-
try.
The nurse, however, has become very
much attached to her young charge, and,
after vainly pleading her cause with the
Queen Regent, she hit upon novel means
Of fortifying her position
The King is just learning to talk, and
when he was recently taken into room
filled with Spanish officials, who wished to
assure themselves of his well-being, the
baby surprised them by announcing:
The nurse must stay. l want her to
stay"
That willy attendant has occupied her
spare time in teaching her charge to ex-
press his own preference, and the result
was entirely successful. No royal man
date can be disobeyed in Spain, and the
Kings nurse has been told that she may
remain for the present. Youths Com

RICH BOTH WAYS.
a gentleman in public assemblage one
evening, while waiting for the entertain
ment to begin, noticed bright-looking,
curly-haired little girl. She was sitting
by her father, to whom she was talking in
a gay, lively way. Her appearance and
the interest Of the listener in all she said
attracted the gentleman's attention, and
while observing the pair he unconsciously
overheard this conversation:
"Oh, father" she said, "there's Jennie
Woods she goes to our school. Oh, she's
so sweet and lovely; she's rich, too-rich
both ways"
Her father seemed not clearly to under
stand what she meant, and asked: "How
is that, Carrie? What do you mean by
being rich both ways? ~
She looked in his face with such an
arch and loving expression in her pretty
eyes as she answered: "Why, papa, she
has got lots of money and lives in fine
house, and dresses beautifully, and that's
rich one way; and we girls all love her so,
for she is always so gentle and kind so
that's rich another way"
THE WAY TO HIS HEART.
The Immature of many men will vanish
in the presence of their favorite dishes on
the dinner table, fact that has given rise
to the old saying that the way to mans
heart is through his stomach.
The writer once boarded with an irrita-
BILE elderly man, who gave laughable illus
trations of the truth of this adage. When
things had gone wrong with the choleric
old gentleman his wife would slyly say
to her daughter, who assisted in the
cooking:
"We'd better have apple dumplin's to-
day, Sarah, your pa is so out of speerits.
| intended having pot pie, but he don't
care much for that, and you know how
fond he is of dumplin's"
When the "6umplins' appeared the old
gentleman's wrath would speedily vanish.
Sometimes the wise old lady would
scatter an impending storm and keep it for
breakfast by appearing with a plate Of
doughnuts or pie, saying:
'.Here. pa, you'd better eat this; nobody
else wants it and it's just sittin' round in
the way Youths Companion.
