Congratulations to the queen regent
of Spain, who has just celebrated her
birthday. Her majesty has borne fully
her share of the sings and arrows of
outrageous fortune, and it must be a
relief to her to know that her country
is once more at peace with all the world.
Spain is, of course, but a shadow of her
former self, but the gallant little lady
who occupies the position of queen
regent is worthy figurehead of an an
cient race. She is brave woman, and
full of character, and had her lines
fallen in pleasanter places would have
adorned any situation she was called
on to fill. Her majesty has now COM

About five miles southwest of Aix-la-

This little strip of a few hundred
