A ROYAL BOOR.

Louis XVI of France, was "a mere
boor, and surly, ill-conditioned one at
that litter to carry hod than to rule a
state" Such is the. opinion Of Baron
Thiebault Qate lieutenant-general in the
French army whose memoirs have just
appeared in book form. Baron THE
bault proceeds to enforce this opinion by
relating an incident which took place
just after the bastile had fallen. One
morning the baron saw the king taking
the air" on the Tuileries terraces, and
the following happened
Just then a lady came through the
gate. She had pretty little spaniel
with her, which. before she noticed it,
ran close up to the king. Making low
courtesy she called the dog back in
haste; but as 1t turned to run to it's mis-
tress, the king, who had large cane in
his hand, broke it's back with a blow of
his cudgel. Then, amid the screams and
tears of the lady, and as the poor little
beast was breathing its last, the king.
delighted with his exploit, continued his
walk. slouching rather more than usual,
and laughing like any lout of peasant.
This incident is interesting If only as a
contrast to the usual verdict passed upon
Louis XVI, that he was an amiable, good
and well-meaning man, but unfortunate.

Miss Clara Carpenter entertained de-

honor of the visiting Berkeley boys at
her pretty home on West Twenty-sev-

decorated with evergreens, smilax, roses
and carnations, while banks of lilies and
ivy adorned the hal mantle-piece. Dur
ing the afternoon the glee club honored
the company with some very pretty Sc
lections, both vocal and instrumental.

SAN BERNARDINO
Disbarment Proceedings Against an At
torney-Thieves too Numerous

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 4.-The ef-
fort to disbar Attorney c. w. Allen is
liable to be quite interesting before the
matter ends. Mr.. Allen is busy getting
affidavits to support his side of the case,
while on the other hand those who are
pushing the case are not idle. Mr.. Cole
says that Seccombe has requested him
to push the case right ahead. Mr. AL
len strongly denies any wrong doing, as
does his partner, Col Eggers, and they
attribute the move as spitework on the
part of Mr.. Cole and the Seccombes.
