A Dreaded Ring.

A costly ring, ,unguarded by police
or special watchman, hangs sus-
pended by silken cord around the
neck of the statue of the Maid 0
Almodena, the patron saint of
Madrid, in one of the beautiful
parks in the Spanish capital. 1t
is set with diamonds and pearls,
Notwithstanding which there is no
danger of its being stolen. The
greatest thief in Madrid would
not touch it any quicker than he
would the plate on his mothers
coffin. Its history is curious and
interesting and equal to anything
found in medieval folk lore.
The ring was made for King
Alfonso XII, who gave it to his
cousin, the pretty Mercedes, on the
day of their betrothal. She wore
1t during her short married lite.
On her death the King presented
it to his grandmother, Queen
Christina. She died soon, and the
King passed the deadly little
circlet to his sister, Infanta del
Pillar, who died within the month.
Again it started on its deadly
rounds, next finding place on the
finger of the youngest daughter of
the Duke of Montpensier, but in
less than three months she also
was dead. Alfonso next put the
ring in his own easket, and lived
less than year after SO doing. No
wonder it safely hangs on statue
in an unguarded square.

CONGRESSMAN WILSON, in a
speech made in Dockery's district
this week, said:
But my chiet ground of opposi-
tion to protection lies in the
thought that when a party or a
people puts taxation on the house
hold goods of my house, my food
and my clothing, to go into the
pockets of another man and not for
the maintenance of the govern
ment, my liberty is infringed upon.
My blood tingles and l feel that
will fight the battle to the very
last. With the hand of a party a
people going into the pocket of
one citizen to enrich another citizen
the liberty of that citizen vanishes
1t is a fight of principle, fellow
citizens, as well as a fight for
progress and prosperity. This
protective idea is not only system
that builds up corporate wealth to
prey upon the people, but it is a
war against your children and
against my children to produce
that classification of society such
as exists in England to-day.
