The Dog. Not the King, Died.

An error in Geographic transmission
seems to have been responsible for the lat

spaniel that was so great pet Of Alphon-
so, the late king. Accordingly. the tele-

George of Wales and a companion had
done valiantly in midnight combat with
six fellows of the baser sort. The story
had it that all the combatarts were taken
to the police station, and that Albert Ed
wards sailor son remained in durance for
several hours before he could establish his
identity and secure release. Probably no
one who saw the narrative failed to pay
mental homage to Prince Georges pluck.

royal race had approved himself a man,

when the hero was ION lark"
Later, and supposedly official advices,
however, discredit the tale of the ungloved
tourney. The prince has disavowed any
knowledge of the affair, the queen has been
treasured on the point of her grandsons'
respectability. and the correspondent who
disseminated the report is in the clutches
of the law. Thus is relegated to the realms
of fiction a narrative that, had it been
true. would have made every stalwart
British commoner proud of the Drawn and
science his tax paying had helped to nour-
ish and develop. But the above is not the
only collapsed romance set down in con-
nection with Prince Georges present tour.
When his highness was at Halifax it is
said that he sent a midshipman of the

An Aptiseptic Duel.

duel WAS recently fought at little
village on the Belgian frontier in which
everything was conducted under strict
antiseptic precautions. The sword blades
were first placed in boiling water and then
carefully washed in 5 per cent. solution
of carbolic acid. The surgeons were ready
with corrosive sublimate solution of one
to thousand and a number Of gauze
pledgets which had been rendered anti
septic by thorough baking. Unfortunately
for the success of the experiment the duel
was of the ordinary French kind, and the
only wound received was slight cut on
the hand, which healed promptly after the
application of a small piece of antiseptic
court plaster Chicago News.

not gained ieg1JlI1ase-y the complex fame
of Harry, there are others living who could
give the medieval monarch cards and
spades in the game of prankishness. Elk
King Milan is one of them. Europe has
resounded time and again with the noisy
uproar of his escapades, and applauded
him as well for bravery on the field of bat

If ever there was an opera bouffe mon
arch he has been one. Reckless Of expend-
iture, careless of scandal, the boon COM
panion of adventuresses and debauchees,

the most beautiful woman in Europe-and,
what probably bothers him more than all
else, the larger part of his income. Indeed
report goes so far as to declare that he ex-
lists on the bounty of a singer who Is one
of the female attractions at a Vienna con-
cert hall. Yet be is not single in his ex-
travagances among the ruling classes Of
the continent. Many others have trod the
same financial path, the latest of the num-
Der to have his misfortunes made public
being Prince Waldeck, who has ''failed
like a gentleman" owing s1,0O0.eOo and
possessing but small assets.
There is yet another dashing fellow born
to the purple who is deserving of mention.
His name is Menelik, and the story of his
adventures from the time he assembled the
throne of Schoa until the dag, few months
back, when he became emperor of Abys-
sina, would fll volume. Twenty-three
years ago, while not yet of age, he was a
prisoner at the capital where he now reigns.
The famous Empcior Theodore wished to
be friends with the young captive, who
claimed descent from Solomon, and ar
ranged a marriage between his daughter
and Menelik. The latter professed ardent
attachment for the lady, and after the
nuptial ceremony the vigilance of the
guards was relaxed. The bridegroom took

EMPEROR MENELIK.

He went to Alden, and there first came
in contact with Europeans. His conquered
but faithful subjects of Schoa saw that he
did not lack for means, and, prince with
out a country or a crown, he duplicated
the midnight adventures and intrigues
that cast halo of romance about the his
tory of Haroun al Raschid, caliph of Bag
dad For years the Orient was filled with
accounts of his escapades, and no one
thought of him save as an eXiled man
sunk in sensual pleasures. But he con-
cealed beneath the outward semblance of
a debauchee the moral fiber of Prince
Hal, and like him probably reasoned:
When this loose behavior throw of,
And pay the debt never promised,
By how much better than my word am
By so much shall l falSify mems hopes;
And like bright metal on a sulen ground,
My reformation glittering DER my fault,
Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
Menelik intrigued, schemed. and finally
offered submission to Theodore's successor,
John. He played double game, kept on
terms with the emperor and the Italians
also. and by the aid of the latter, after
Johns death, secured the throne of Abys-
sinia. The emperor has cast aside the vices
and companions of the prince, and is pos
ing as vigorous and polite ruler. The
crown worn by him in the picture given
herewith is one well BETTING the brow of
a semi-barbaric monarch. 1t is OF pure
gold, weighs nearly seven pounds, and
bears resemblance to the triple crown of
