KING, BUT STILL A BOY.


the Palace and Go 1t.
Not long ago there was terrible ex.
element at the royal court of Anam.
The king, Thanh-Tai, who is now four
teen years old, was missing! Etiquette
requires that the Anamesc king shall
never leave the royal grounds. He is a
kingly prisoner. And that the king
should not only be absent from the
palace, but that no one should know
where he was, constituted an event of
such direful consequence that the
whole court was in dismay.
But the young %potentatc was not
hard to find. Though he was a king,
he was a boy, and it is natural for a
boy, when he has some money in his
pocket. to want to go out and spend it.
That was exactly what the king OF
Anam had done. Entirely alone, he
had started or Il shopping expedition
through the streets of Hue. OF course
no one knew him because he had never
shown his face in public. lie was sim.
ply a boy, like any other boy, and this
was exactly what he wanted.
But he was treated with great re-
spect by the shopkcepers because he
seemed to have plenty of money. Curl
ously enough, the thing that seemed to
attract him most was a Notwithstanding
machine, or hair clipper, and when the
frightened mobiles of the court disoov-
cred him at last it was with this singu-
lar implement in his possession. No
doubt he intended to amusc himself by
shearing the heads of all his depend
ents. -N. Y. Advertiser.

That the republican party is
breaking up is evident to all who have
observed its gradual abandonment of

looked upon only as a relic of the past.

and adopted local option instead-St.
