In his last letter 10 the public, says the
Seattle Telegraph, the Hon. Bill Nye de-
ciares against international wedlock in
the following explanstionary paragraphs:
Before beginning this letter let me
briefly announce that my alliance with
the Princess Angelina. eldest daughter OF
King Seattle. emperor Of Puget Sound and
Duke Of Puyallup has been broken of.
This is naturally private matter, but
90 many conflicting reports are abroad re-
garding II that an compelled to give .
correct report to the public or suffer from
garbled accounts now ct large everywhere.
"Since the sad story Of the Princess Co
lonna, the daughter-or step-daughter,
rather--oi my old friend John w. Macksy,
I have been given great big psuse-s
pair OF them, for that matter--as regards
the union Of wealthy Americans to titled
but unfumigated foreigners.
"The Prince Colouna has gambled
away . quarter Of . million Of francs at
one time belonging to the Princess, and
now she has had to steal away from her
home in Italy with her three children to
escape him.
'In this do not wish in any way to re-
feet on my own royal fancee, who has
borne q good character for over ninety
years, but she 10 poor and 10 said to be q
gambler, having spent two years recently
catching fish enough to pay the poker
debt OF one evening at court.
Excuse me for appearing cold and
stolid to the charms Of the princess to
whom promised my hand In marriage
so soon Is times should pick up. but aside
from being q royal gambler, and some
times q royal flush gambler. Princess
Angelne 10 said to allow her socks to sag
in sum mer time and to pauee during the
music to whoop them up.
mo one knows how hate 10 give this
fact to the press, but royalty, and especi-
ally royalty that has denonetised itself
and 10 out Of job, gives me that tired
feeling 20 noticeable in the spring Of the
year.
"Scan carefully the picture Of the prin-
cess copied from q portrait now in the
Vatican. Note the low retreating fore
head and the scornful curl Of the lip.
Take man with my style Of long suf-
fering and forbearance and you can see
that would experience hell on earth.
Regard the safety pin in the shawl!
What poor taste In q court costumel
Even in court Of oyer and terminer that
would not go. Safety pins are delight;
but, like the truss, they should not be
worn on the outside.
"Notice the wide sweep OF the noetrils.
denoting longevity and hellish temper
from away back behind the centuries.
"No, Princess Angeline, II you say ap-
peal to the courts, all right, but l feel
almost certain that If married you
would 20 right on lecturing and hire you
TO stay at home. Icould not love you as
person Of your size ought to be loved.
never could love woman who could not
read fine print and boil eggs.
II was fool to ever make this promise
to the princess. She was 90 plain. how
ever, that l thought she must be good,
and she admired my writings and said
ought to have monument ninety-seven
feet high.
"And then she has such eyesl So free
from any expression! So bright and red
with unsbed and woodshed tears--tears
that are bred BY . smoky tepeel
"No, Angelina. Take back your crest
and give 1t little air and awhisk broom.
Send back nv letters and will return
your nose ring. In fact, when met with
you / forgot to say anything Of it, but I
had been happily wed over seventeen
years, and the only title l want 10 one
that can read good and clear to mansions
in the skies and not be greeted with the
cry Of 'Louderi'
Princess Angelina, here our PATHWAYS
seem to fork. will take whichever fork
is left after you have trotted down the
other. And now. a long farewell, Angie.
l will send the nose ring to you at the
agency or in care Of the roadmaster on the
warpath, q you direct"
