A Naughty Little King.

If all the stories are true which are
told about the little King of Spain he
must be very willful little boy. One
day recently Alphonso and his gov
erness were out driving, when sud-
denly the governess noticed that the
little King was not acknowledging the
salutes Of his subjects.
~ am too tired to bow to them" he
exclaimed. pettishly, land am not
going to do it."
"You must acknowledge their
salutes," insisted the governess, "be-
cause you are their King, and it is one
of the customs for King to bow to
his subjects"
II shall not bow to themv' ex-
claimed Alphonso, loudly.
"Then you cannot drive in the car
riage with me" replied the governess,
kindly, but firmly, for she feared that
Alphonso would offend his subjects.
"Then you may get out and waikiki
exclaimed the naughty little King.
Then. calling to the coachman, he
cried:
Halt. Carlo! This lady wishes to
go on foot"

Mrs CIevsiand's Betrothai Ring.

''Now that it is settled that Mrs.
Cleveland will return to preside over
the White House, all incidents OF her
life are of interest,"" says Kate Field S
Washington. ut is not generally
known that her engagement ring was
not the valuable diamond which Mr..
Cleveland presented to her upon her re-
turn from Europe few days before
her marriage Before her departure
with her mother upon the European
journey the President-elect visited
New York for the purpose of saying
farewell to his fiancce. 1t was then
decided to keep the engagement from
the public until her return. when
almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement would come the marriage.
1t was Mrs. Cleveland's wish that no
regular engagement ring should be
given until that time, as during her
trip abroad she preferred to wear a
seal ring which had belonged to her
father, and upon his death had been
given to his most intimate friend, Mr..
Cleveland. This plan was accordingly
carried out, and until her return to
New York the Presidents wife had
never worn a diamond ring. The first
one she possessed set with this stone
was given her Immediately upon land
ing from the steamer by a cousin liv-
ing in New York, who hurried down
to Tiffany's and purchased the small
diamond star which Mrs. Cleveland
generally wears upon her little An

For Future Profit.

Do all women find little time each
day for reading something good? BY
good is meant broadening. Ten min
utes day make hours in year, and
1t means growth of the mind that
keeps a woman young, Youth means
more than the absence of years. It
means living in the present and keep
ing abreast of the times. Women need
to do this. 1t is duty owed to them
selves and their families, and she who
buries herself in cooking, frills and
follies commits sin.
Only that which we assimilate as
part Of the mind Is eternal, and it is
the only treasure we carry into that
beyond that awaits us all All other
things are but the frame; the real, the
priceless, Is that which becomes part
of us, poem to-day over which we
think, q sentence tomorrow which
makes duty clearer, little here and
there, and our minds are growing
richer, our lives are broadening and
helping others to reach out for the
best.

Mamma answered that grandpa did
not like dogs, and probably would not
be willing to buy one. Then, seeing

Afraid of Himself.

Edward Thorpe, for seven years night
engineer at the Merchantville Water
Works, was taken to the Camden County
Insane Asylum Tuesday at his own re-
quest. At times he has an almost uncon-
trollable desire to cut off his wife's head :.
Mr.. Thorpe lived with his wife and five
children in a pretty suburban home near
Merchantville, and was comfortably fixed
in life. Several months ago while at
work he would be seized with desire to
gaze at the stars. He soon spent all his
leisure time at night in this practice. He
knew that he was losing his mind and
told his wife so. He took vacation.
but without any noticeable improvement.
About week ago he became possessed
with the idea that he must cut off his
wlfes head. The desire seized him peri
odically. He told his wife of it during his
rational days and stated his purpose of 60
ing to the asylum. She begged him not
to do so. On Monday night Thorpe was
visited by one of the insane desires to kill
his wife while she slept. He was so much
that he fed from the house in his night
clothes. Thorpe went to several physl-
clans and asked to be sent to the insane
asylum. He says he feels at times that
an invisible force within him compels
him to do those things be hates to do.

While William Garthorne was walking
along the river shore at Camden Wednes-
day morning he saw body at the waters
edge. 1t was identified as the corpse OF
John McQuade, 60 years old, captain of a
canal boat which had recently arrived
from Centreton with load of sand.
Captain McQuade's two sons, Edward
and James, helped to run the canal boat.
They last saw their father at 10 o'clock
Tuesday night. He came aboard the boat
but soon afterward disappeared. He went
ashore and is said to have been seen
drinking with several men.
About 200 yards from where the body
was discovered the coat and hat of the
drowned man were found, both of which
were despatched with blood. There were,
however, no marks of violence on the
body, with the exception that his right
eye was confused. 1t was stated that the
drowned man was intoxicated early on
Tuesday evening, and was seen at mid
night on the shore, near the boat and the
superstition is that, while attempting to
board the boat, he fell overheard and was
drowned. The coroner rendered YER
dict of accidental drowning.
