A Story of Royalty.

King George III of England. who made
Weymouth fashionable by going there To
reside occasionally, used frequently TO
make excursions into the rural neigh
borhood about the town. On one OF
these rambles he passed a field where
only one woman was at work, and asked
her where the rest of her companions
were. with much naivete the woman
replied They have gone to see the
King
And why did you not go with them?'
rejoined his Majesty.
Il would not give a pin to see him,
replied the peasant Besides the iools
that are gone to town to see him will
lose a days work by it, which is more
than | can afford to do, for l have
five children to work for"
well then" replied George, putting
some money into her hand, you may
tell your companions who are gone &c
see the King that the King came &c
see you."-[Chicago News.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
ALASKAN TREATY SIGNED.
Boundary Dispute viii Be Settled
by a Commission Consisting of
Three Americans and Three Eng

llSVTTGlls
Secretary Hay and Sir Michael Her
bert. the British ambassador, signed a
treaty Saturday providing for the settle
mont of the Alaskan boundary question.
Efforts in this direction have been put
forth for a long time. the pressure com
ing from both sides, the Canadian miners
being anxious to get through the klon-
dixie to the sea without passing through
American territory. and the Americans
insisting upon their right to the coast
line and the control of the ports. The
treaty signed Saturday provides for the
reference of all these boundary questions
to a mixed tribunal of iurists, three on
each side, to determine the Interpretation
to be placed on the treaty of 1926 between
Great Britain and Russia. which defined
the boundaries between British America
and Alaska
This proposition is virtually the same
as that brought forward by the American
members of the high joint commission
which met I'm Washington three years
ago. but which then was rejected 10y
the British and Canadian representatives
1t has taken three years to obtain the
consent of the British and Canadian gov
eminent to adjust the boundary disput,
on this basis. 1t is understood that the
treaty has been drawn up after thorough
consultation with the leading members of
the Senate of both political parties, tn,
administration desiring to do everything
possible in advance to secure its rati
fication.
