always as king.
During the day I heard that the
ministry would resign the next day, and
that Premier Tisza would make his last
address in parliament. Well, you can
well imagine l wanted to be in at the
death and set about to secure ticket of
admission to the diet hall. Those whom
l asked simply laughed at me. Tickets
were at high premium, and some to
whom l applied gave me Hungarian
look of whitening contempt which made
ine only more anxious to get there
But the morrow came, and l saw the
chances for a peep at the show growing
exasperatingly less, when I suddenly
felt myself possessed of an idea I went

of the upper house, and he alone could
admit me, and succeeded in seeing
him. I'm surprised, said to him,
that you have made no provision for
the press at a time so important as this ,
'Press?' said he. Why, press tickets
have been issued to all who are entitled
to them, and if you have received none
it's mistake-an oversight. He called
a servHrt, said something in iavgon

Il .a,..ly lie pat the poser, What 10
the name of your paper?' thought with
right that all great papers must be rep
