KING OF ITALY AND PEASANT,
The Young AIOnarch's Quiet Call On
Woman Milking a Cow
in the Field.

Here is little story about the
young king of Italy which is being
printed in the Italian papers and
which is worth reproducing. The
king was staying in the country at
his palace in Raccorrigi. He is little
known to the people there, for in his
walks about the neighborhood he al
ways strives to preserve his incoe-
nlto. Hence come some curious adj
ventures. One day, while out tramp
ing, he got very thirsty, and seeing a
woman milking cow in a field near
by he went up to her and asked her
for glass of milk, relates Woman's
Home Companion.
II can't give you any of this" said
the woman, but if you'll mind the
COW I'll go to the house and get you
some."
So the king minded the cow till the
woman returned with glass of cool
milk. Then he asked her where all
the farm-hands had gone.
"Oh, they're always running away
now to try to see the king" answered
the woman.
"And why do you not go? Don't
you want to see the king?"
Some one must stay and look after
things"
swell, little mother smiled the
guest, 'you see the king without run
ming away from your work.
You're joking!" exclaimed the
woman, who could not believe that q
monarch-could be SO quietly dressed.
But when the king put gold coin
into her hand she fell on her knees,
while he continued his walk, laughing
over the incident. @ q.
