THE KING OF CURIOS.
He Needed Only the Treasure at the
End Of the Rainbow to COM
plete His Collection.

The old king Of curios was an en-
thusiastic collector of everything
strange or rare, and he spared neither
pains nor time nor money in adding to
his treasures. A slight idea of the
value of his collection may be gained
from the fact that it contained, among
other curiofities, the cloak of Little Red
Riding Hood, nightcap Of one Of the
Seven Sleepers; the tuffet on which sat
Miss Auffet; the pail of Simple Simon;
a chimney pot from the house that Jack
built, and picked peppers picked by
Peter Piper.
Now, it happened, one day, that the
king heard of the treasure at the end of
the rainbow, and nothing would do but
he must have that; and he forthwith
summoned the chancellor of the ex-
chequer.
"Oh, but really, your mnjecty," said
that functionary, there. is only just
enough money in your majesty's cof.
fers to meet the expenses Of the state,
and We had to raise a loan on part of
the regalia to get the peppers. 1t is
against the law to put IN extra tax
on the people, or we might do it in that
way. Oh, dear!" lie ended. ruefully;
"if we can't, how can we?"
The difficulty Of the position only in
creased the kings desire. He passed
sleepless nights in consideration, and
then issued proclamation:
"Oyes! Dyes! Dyes! Whose shall
bring TO his majecty the treasure at
the end Of the rainbow shall marry his
daughter, her royal highness the peer
less Princess Bloochina. And may the
king live forever!"
It was indeed n most tempting prize,
for the lady was celebrated for her
beauty and goodness. Two princes,
four barons, lion tanner, a thistle-sift-
er, the owner Of Jerusalem pony, and
score OF other adventurers immediate
ly resolved TO try their luck. But six
months OF hardship was quite enough
for the princes. As to the barons, they
Travelled TO gether for company, but
continually squabbled over trlhes--
such ms who should go first. Some OF
the sultorn thought the treasure was
far out OH the ocean, and could not
reach II for neasickncss; others lost
themselves In wandering over the
mountains; nn6 20 II fell out that. at
tho end Of year and day, all but one
had returned 10 their homes and given
up the quest as quito hopelens.-A. T..
Bouser, in 1T. Nicholas.

A v1cARlous pRHAHcR.
twenty Generations Of 0ns Family
Have DoFne . Cross In sevtlie's
Holy Week Procession.

The self-imposed penance Of the IA
theirs in Seville would seem, even as
the weight of their sins, to be visited
upon their children unto the last gen.
Grafton Of their seed. At least. it is
true that the staggering youth before
us Is the twentieth of his name and
line who has done vicarious penance
for the sins of his forefather, u celeb
rity of the sixteenth century, who
looked Ion beauty charming" with
the eyes Of Don Juan Tenodio. He was
finally captured, the legend relates,
by q Barbary corsair, and carried n
prisoner to Oran, where. manaclcd
and chained. he spent many u long
and weary day wishing that he were
dead. But while he pined hopelessly
in prison he made solemn VOW that.
should he ever regain his liberty. he
would walk barefooted, and humbly
bearing his cross, behind the Christ Of
the Great Power in every madrugada.
or morning procession; and, further,
he vowed that he would make the an
nual accomplishment Of this vow n
charge upon his estate for all time, by
providing that, should any one of his
male descendants fail in its perform
ance, his portion of the estate should
20 to enrich the foundation of con-
vent.
There have been no defaulters
among the old gallant's heirs, and
though the present bearer of the
proud name is perfumed and scented
polio, n dude of Seville society, he too
did mot shrink from the sacrifice neces-
sary to keeping the money in the fam
lily. And l regret to say that, as he
came meekly along in this strange
guise, his appearance excited much
amusement among the other pollos
whose inheritance had come to them
without so unpleasant condition;
and at the sight of his bruised and
bleeding feet much money was wag
cred on the question of whether he
would be able to lead the cotillon at
the duke of Alba's on Easter Monday.
But perhaps the strangest of all the
array of silent maskers who followed
the Christ of the Great Power was q
little girl of some IL summers, clothed
In her communion robes, weird and
ghostly apparel for this the dark hour
before the dawn. Her eyes were blind
folded. and. unlike the hoods of the
Nazarcnes, there was not left the
smallest aperture through which she
might look to choose and pick her way.
She carried golden chalice in one
hand. while with the other she groped
and felt her way. Every now and then,
misled by the deceiving echo of the
music. she would turn out Of the way,
now to the right, and now TO the left.
Once she stumbled and fell, and when
she rose, IN her confusion. started to
walk back the way she had come; but
the Nazarenes caught her by the hand.
and directed her ON her way again
The little girl in the white communion
dress symbolixed that faith which is
blind.-Stephcn Bousal. In Century.

Every republican should be at
the polls next month. South
Dakota should send two men to
Congress who will uphold Presi-
dent Mckinley in his foreign
policy. The election of a demo
populist congress will be con
strued as a national vote OF want
of confidence in the admlnistra-
ton, and Spain and other foreign
powers would be quick to take
advantage of this. No greater
calamity could possibly befall
the country at the present time
