was received by Chairman Nash, OF the
Republican state committee, with evil

LEzs MAJESTY.
How q Subject of the King of Belgium
Played It.

How q Subject OF the King of Belgium
Played 1t.
It is a curious reflection that men
who will face death with IMMUNITY are
yet absolutely aghast with fear when
brought into the presence of the great
ones of the earth. "Such great divinity
doth hedge king" that few men would
venture to assert their independence or
the right of their manhood If a soyer-
eign's view were opposed to theirs.
This is, no doubt, an inheritance
from the days of f~eudalism, when the
monarch was indeed the liege lord of
all the people. Among the few, how
ever, whose names have come down to
an admiring posteTity because they had
the stamina to rely N their own rights
and assert their desires must be
mentioned the name Of M. Yandon-
driesche, a subject OF the king OF Bel
giuni.

up in a night, at all events lnterfered
with his view, as did that miraculous
structure with the view Of the other
sovereign.
The king naturally demonstrated at
this want Of consideration III o subject,
and, no doubt, expected THAT the remon-
STRANGE would have good effect. So, in

proceeded to pull down theediice, which
had only recently been finished.
Alas for the credulity of the human
mind, even when that mind belongs 90
a potentate OF the earthl AS soon as the
foundations OF the building had been
RACED to the ground, and the king, no
doubt, congratulated himself or that
uninterrupted view Of the country which
he had had before, he was startled TO
find that an increased army of builders
arrived to augment the number Of those
who had been employed.
Oddly enough also. a huge quantity
Of bricks and mortar appeared on the
scene. These bricks the masons began
to use in the most u~nacoountable man
ner possible, piling them one on top CT
the other with mortar between. 1t look
ed as if they were building u wall.
They were. Slowly, as is the manne Of
masons in every country Of the world,
the wall grew by inches. Instead of a
villa a IL story fireproof building was
erected, which effectually prevented his
majesty from seeing the couEiry which
lies on the other side of the property OF

phenomenon which no one had yet been

While steaming along the coast of
