SPANS BOY KING IN HIS NEW UNIFORM.
now a cadet and wears the uniform of the
royal academy. He is probably just as
pleased with his gold lace, gold buttons
and cockade as the average Yankee boyfs
with his first real baseball uniform.
No doubt the first thing he did after
putting on his new clothes was to have his
picture taken, and tho accompanying IL
Iustration is from a reproduction of his
maicsty's latest photograph printed in the
London Illustrated News by special permits
SIGN of the queen regent of Spain. For
several years the only authentic picture of
little Alfonso was one which was taken,
when be was z years old. It showed him
in a Fauntlefoy costume, sitting in one
.ornerof very big ehfar and looking very
small and somewhat scared.
This year, with war threatening his
throne, loyal subjects of the Spanish MON
archy will congratulate themselves more
chan ever on the gradual improvement of
Tho fragile little life in which their hopes
are~ conferred. Born before bis mother, the
present queen regent, had rallied from tho
shock of her royal husbands death, King
Alfonso XIII seemed for long to have but
q slender hold on life, but each year that
Is added to his record gives further prom
Ise of an eventual outgrowing of much of
his constitutional delicacy. In spite of his
slight physique, tho youthful king is by
no means insignificant, for a charming lit
lie dignity pervades his performance of his
various royal duties. His appearances in
public create a good deal of popular inter
est, and his gracious name has won him
The personal allegiance of all sorts and
conditions of bis subjects.

though often defeated, he never lost heart.
At last victory crowned his efforts and in
B78 the treaty of Wedmore conferred some
years of peace and rest on the exhausted
country. BY that treaty England was d.

Ing himself to the Advancement and inn

Winchester can proudly claim to be the
birthplace of English literature, as Alfred
was its founder. 1t was for the people
that Alfred wrote, and it was the language
of the people that he used, and it is to him
that VIC owe that unique possession, the
English chronicle, the history of the race
from the earliest times. The early part of
the chronicle was probably compiled by
the king, with the help of the brethren of
st. Swithun, and copies were sent to the
! monks at Christchurch, Canterbury and
to the Scriptorium at Peterborough, and
there tho record was continued, handing
down the English language through the
troubled times of the Norman conquest.

UNDER LAKE ERIE
Boring a Five Mile Tunnel
for C1eve1and's Water
Supply.
DIGGING THE BIG HOLE
Pushed From Four Points at
0nce-Wonderful Engineer
ing Skill.

The city of Cleveland takes it's water
supply from Lake Erie. At first thought
you might fancy that with a milo or so Of
water front this would be a simple matter,
but in reality it is nothing of the kind.
Tho water which washes tho Cleveland
dock front Is hardly the Kind Of water the
Cleveland citizen likes to drink. But out
in the lake, miles from land, the water is
as clear and pure as if it came from a
mountain spring. So a great tunnel Is
being built to bring this pure water into
the city.
The end Of the tunnel is to be five miles
from the city docks and the tunnel itself
is to be big enough to supply the needs of
the city for the next century, even If 1t
should grow to be twice the size of Chi
cago in the meantime, a possibility which
every Cleyelander ckecrfully anticipates,
of course. To build such a tunnel under
the bed of the lake requires such skill in
engineering as only the century's end can
furnish.
Over a year ago the work on the tunnel
was begun. A shaft $50 feet deep was

He was at various times stationed in the

ton, if anything, but his manner is per-
emptory, his voice that of one accustomed
to command, and he is considered a strict
disciplinarian.

A movement with this object in view
has already been set on foot in Winchester
and has received the cordial support of tho

warmly taken up by the mayor, Mr.. Bow
