ington, Lafayette, Knox, the Sewalls OF
York, Me-, and others. This Vision OF
Columbus was rather better than the
later Columbiad. Going to Europe
about the time OF the French Revolution,
he became wealthy, was endeared
to the French, and there wrote the mock
heroic poem sHasty Pudding for
which he is chiefly known in the annals
of American verse. In 1905 he returned
to America wealthy and honored, and
wrote his epic, "The Coiumbiad.' The
encouragement of the love of national
liberty was the real aim of the epic. Pro-
fessor Chapman gave very entertaining
analysis Of the now almost forgotten
epic, with extracts Of the most interest
ing portions of it.
Barlow died in Poland in 1912, while,
as an American envoy, he was going to
an interview with Napoleon. In Pro-
fessor Chapman's opinion, Barlow has
not received the consideration which he
deserves from American historians.

fonsu XII, son Of Queen Isabella, as
cended the throne, the civil war having
terminated in his favor. He was only
seventeen years of age, and had been in
exile for six years. Much against the
wish of his mother the young king mar
ried his cousin Mercedes, daughter of
the Due de Montpensier, but she only
lived few months Reasons of state
rendered it imperative that the king
should marry again, and the choice of
his ministers fell upon the young Arch
duchess Christina, the daughter of Prin
cess Elizabeth of Austria. The mar
riage took place on Nov 80, 1879, and
the Infanta Marie de las Mercedes was
born in the September following.
In 1882 another princess was born, and
three years later, on Nov. %, 1885, the
king, who had long been suffering from
consumption, died, leaving his little
daughter queen of Spain and his widow
queen regent. However, it was known
that this arrangement might be only
temporary one, as should the child which
was expected prove boy he would
naturally succeed to the throne. The
little queens reign lasted only six
months, for on May II, 1886, her brother
was born, and was at once proclaimed
king of Spain.
Alfonso XIII was measured for his
first pair Of shoes at four months old,
and on the same day 300 poor children
in Madrid were presented with new
shoes in honor of the event. On the
kings first fete day, Jan. S3, 1887, 10000
of the poor in the capital received a
present, and the queen, in her sons
name, founded hospital for the or
phans of officers.
At the age of eighteen months Alfonso
XIII opened the session Of the cortes.
On the throne Of the emperors and kings
of Spain sat the nurse, an Asturian
peasant named Raymunda, holding the
baby sovereign, dressed all in white,
upon her knees, while round him stood
the queen regent and the infantas and
lower down the grandees, the digni-
taries, the diplomatic body and the
great state functionaries. The queen
regent read the speech from the throne,
and when the ceremony was over the
little king, who had only interrupted
the proceedings once or twice, was car
ried home in his mothers arms.
Alfonso XIII is not strongly built,
and at present is in bad health. He is
lively and talkative, but occasionally
has fits of silence and melancholy, for
he is reared in loneliness, and has no in
innate playmates of his own. From the
time of his birth he has had separate
establishment with distinct set of off
Gals, civil and military. He is not
pretty child, but has very winning ex-
preston, and is said to show a remark
able resem blance to his ancestor, Charles
Nv.

The UNION MUTUAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY has
achieved during the first three
quarters of this year a very
large measure Of success.
The causes that have operated
to secure same are not difficult
to determine.
Summed up, they are as fol-
lows:
Increasing public confidence
in the smaller and more cOnser-

The desire to obtain the best

The knowledge that the poll

the Maine Nom Forfeiture Law.

fact that the Company's man

THE BOY KING OF SPAIN.

His Latest Portrait and a Sketch Of His
Babyhood.
1t was the sad lot of Alfonso XIII of
Spain to be king from the moment OF
his birth, for he is a posthumous child.
But, although deprived of fathers care
and guidance, his mother. the Queen
Regent Christina, has trained him with
such loving care that he gives promise
of becoming wise man and a popular
ruler. He was born May II, 1885. His
father, Alfonso XII, died the previous
winter.
Till recently the history of Spain has
been a record of civil war and of a be-
wildering succession Of governing fac
tions. At last, in December, 1874, Al
