"Ah, you wish to see my babyv cried
the queen, with all fond mothers
pride in the boy who has been the OBJ
ject Of her devoted care from his in
fancy, and who probably owes in q
great measure to her judlcious watch
fulness the robust health which he
now enjoys, and, summoning an attend
ant, she sent upstairs for the royal
children.
After few moments the children OF
tho queen entered unattended through
door at the further end of the sa-
lon-Alfonso, the young king; Maria de
las Mercedes, the Princess of Asturlas,
and the Infanta Maria Teresa.
Come here" said the queen regent
to the children, who came forward
smIlingly Alfonso in advance of his
sisters. "These ladies wish to talk with
you in English, Alfonsito," she said to
the boy. "Will you not give them a
kiss"
The young king responded very
gracefully to his mothers suggestion,
and his bright and intelligent eyes
looked searchingly but smillngly into
mine.
The prlncesses kissed us also, and
all three conversed with us for short
time In English, and then, at a word
and a smile from their mother, after
kissing her hand aflectionately, re-
turned to the occupations from which
they had been called
When Alfonso and his sisters had left
the room, the queen, inviting us to re-
sumo our seats, and, sitting down
again herself, asked me II l did not
think that her boy-whose health had
been for a few years great anxiety
to her-looked well and strong. l an
swered with perfect sincerity that /
did, for, although of slender build and
evidently Of a nervous temperament,
he had nothing Of the fragility or Ian
guor of disease in his appearance, and
his face had the bronze hue, his brown
eyes the brightness and his fair curly
hair the lustre Of health. There can
be no doubt that the pure and braclng
air Of San Sebastian has been most
efIicacious in counteracting any ten
dency to delcacy which may have or
iginally existed in his constitution.
The queen regent in the most amiable
manner then entered into the details

The administrators Foreign Policy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. BLK Postmas-
ter-General Don M. Dickinson is
quoted as saying that the president
might anticipate mis- message to con-
gross by outlining through the me-
dunn OF letter to personal friend,
or an interview, the administrations
foreign policy. A cabinet officer said
to-day that this course was not con-
templated. When congress assemblies,
all the correspondence between this
country and Great Britain will be sub
mitted. The country may rest assured
that it will prove TO be all that the
most patriotic citizen could wish.

intelligent girls, excellent linguists,
like their mother, speaking correctly
French, English and German, besides
their native Spanish, and are well adj
vanced in general studies.
The same simplicity which reigned
in the antechamber, as we'll as in the
reception room, which is furnished in
the same general style as the former
apartment, marked the dress Of the
members of the royal family. The queen
regent wore very simple, but elegant
gown Of black and white check taffeta
silk, with white gloves; the princesses
simply made percale dresses, and AL
fonso white duck sailor suit.
Emboldened by the kindness Which
the queen had manifested toward her
throughout the audience, my compan-
ion availed herself of favorable mo-
ment to say to the queen:
May 1 ask your majesty to do me a
favor"
with pleasure; what is it?" re-
turned the queen with smile.
MAY take one Of these roses?" re-
piled the girl, indicating vase filled
with flowers that stood on small table
beside her, "as souvenir of our
visit?"
Certainly" returned the queen COR
daily, and, rising, she crossed over to
the table and began to select some
roses from the vase; then, looking In
the direction of another table on which
also stood vase Of flowers, she went
over to it, saying, II think these are
better" and, taking off her gloves, Sc
Iected some roses from the vase,
brushed the water from the stems with
her handkerchief, and, returning to
where we had remained standing from
the time when we had risen with her,
handed a part Of them to my daughter
and a part to me, saying, with unaf-
fected sweetness. THE only merit they
possess is that they are from my own
garden"
With this fragrant token Of good will
our audience with the queen regent OF
Spain came to an end, and we left the
royal presence feeling that more to be
admired even than the queen was the
mother and women.

unless she who possesses 1t possess also
the conviction and courage to express
1t fully; for where much Is given, much
more Is required, Sooner or later she
must pay the penalty, whether OF sue

was Mrs. Potter's fortune to encounter
this struggle for artistic existence at
an early period Of her professional ca
reer. AS this began eight years ago, IL
is only fair to say now that she has
come through the trial in splendid
form. Mrs. Potter, by temperament, as
piration and study, was essentially an
actress, whom circumstances mad
placed temporarily in the role OF a So
clety idler; but everybody thought
and some people have not got rid OF the
notion yet-that she was merely So
ciety woman stage-struck Her very
beauty prejudiced her cause, since
those who witnessed her debut as Cleo
patra took it for granted that she could
not know how to read Shakespeare's
verse, and unjustly summed up all her
merits as a success de belle femme. 1t
does not appear that she has ever In
dulged in feuds with her critics In
deed, 1 fancy she is inclined to set
rather too much store by what they
say about her. At all events, she was
in no danger of being spoiled by over
praise at the outset. Presently she
found that, owing to the publicity
which circumstances had given to pure
ly personal facts of her life, audiences
and critics alike we're unable to dis
sociate the actress from the woman.
Inevitably, perhaps, they confused judg-
ment of the one with futile gossip about
the other. Mrs. Potter then proceeded
quietly to demonstrate the earnestness
of her convictions by making pro-
fessional tour of the world, playing an
extensive repertory that ranged from
Shakespearian tragedy to the intense

For several years past the town Of

an epidemic Of diphtheria broke out
which quickly spread over the entire

men engaged on an electric plant shut

there is one curious fact respecting

information. 1t is this: No living rep

more than five toes, digits or claws, on
each foot, hand or limb. The horse is
the type of the one-toed creation, the
camel of the two-toed, the rhinoceros
of the three-toedi and the hyppopota-
mus of the four-toed animal life. The
elephant and hundreds of other ami
mails belonging to different orders
