She Walks In Beauty.

She walks in beauty, like the night
or cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half-impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens Ger her face:
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling
place.
And on that cheek, and DER that brow,
So soft. so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win. the tints that glow,
. But tell of days in goodness spent.
A mind at peace with all below,
heart whose love is innocent!

The statements of the Fall River
mills for the quarter ended July 80,
this year. indicate that the long-de-
pressed cotton industry in New Eng
land, especially that part of it located
in Fall River, is coming in slowly, it is
true, but surely for some of the bene-
fits of better times. In the first three
months of the present year all the mills
paid out $265.525 for dividends-a rate
of 1.21 per cent on capitalization Of
$22, 1923, 900. as compared with rs per
cent for the preceding quarter. During
the quarter in question all the mills
are credited with having made money,
though nine out of thirty-eight cor
porations passed dividends-a fact that
is explainable on the ground that they
have decided to devote their earnings
TO the wiping out of debts or to the
purchasing of new equipment. Unless
present indications are incorrect the
next quarters report will reveal a
much healthier condition of affairs.

Born King of Spain.

Alfonso KILL, king of Spain, has the
distinction of being the only ruler who
was born a king. His father died be-
fore Alfonso was born, and when the
baby king appeared he was introduced
to nis mobiles and senators while lying
on q silver tray held in the arms OF
Senior Sagasta, his present prime min.
tster.
Then came the trouble of naming the
infant monarch. Queen Christina
wished to name him after his father,
Alfonso XII, but almost everybody as
serted that an Alfonso XIII. would
surely be unlucky. Finally the baby
was named Alfonso Leon Maria Isidor
Paschal Antonio Fernando Santiago.
Soon after his baptism he was invested
with all the Spanish royal orders.
When ~ years old he opened Parlia-
ment in person. The king now has a
company of "baby troopers" whose
ages range from to II years. They
have uniforms like those Of Spanish
regulars. carry bayonet rifles and each
carries a tiny brace Of pistols. 1t is
almost worth being a king IL a boy can
have a troop of soldiers like that,
isn't It?
