WAS SHE A KINGS DAUGHTER ?
Legendary Spanish Girl Who Lived
in n Mexican Convent,


The story of this young Spanish girl
in Mexico. who lived mysterious life
in convent, may be truly called
legendary history. Micaela de los
Angeles was believed to be a daughter
Of Philip ii. of Spain, who was
brought to Mexico and immurtd In the
royal convent of Jesus Maria for rea
sons best known to the royal father
This convent was founded in 1913 by
two Spaniards. Pedro 7. Denia and
Gregora de Pesquera, purposely for
the descendants of the conquerors, ac-
cording to Modern Mexico.

the convent no one seemed to relnem-

UNCLE SAM, SCHOOLMASTER.
Evidence that the Day of "Infiuence"
in Army Has Passed.

Much fun has been poked at tn
military schools which have been es-
tablished recently for the benefit Of
the officers of the army. The criticism
has always come from people who
frown upon all army reforms and in
novauons because they have a tenden-
cy TO destroy antiquated methods
which, despite their uselessncss, are
looked upon as sacred by the critics
because Of their antiquity. Among the
things said of the schoclS was t3,at
they would be schools IL name CCly,
and that no real work would be re-
quired of the men who attended them
The contrary was demonstrated re-
Gently when six army officers were or.
dered before court-martial at the
Fort Leavenworth school because they
had neglected their studies, and had
in consequence been found deficient
on examination. This action, which
was approved by the War Department
shows that the schools are not play
places, and that officers who look upor
them as such are Liable to be brough,

After that those who passed by the

loud calls, repeated and repeated, until
the voice seemed to die away In the
distance or. to be shut off by many
walls and closing doors-at times even
by the sudden placing of strong

Although born In Scotland - years

He also made his start as an engi-

When. in 1868, that great single la

EVERY PERSON HAS A DOUBLE
So Says an Old Proverb-A Beggar Re-
scmbles the King.

BY argument of an ancient proverb
there are always on this earth at the
same time two human beings who re-
a European occultist points out that
this is certainly true in the case Of
rulers.
An old beggar who lives In White
chapel bears, according to him, a
startling resemblance to King Edward
of England-so startling. indeed. that
If the beggar We're dressed in royal
raiment he could not be distinguished
from tho real king.
The British ruler. however. Is not the
only one who has double, writes
the Detroit Free Press The czar and
the Prince of Wales are wonderfully
like each other. Indeed, more than
one photographer in Europe invaria-
bly, sells Il photograph of the prince
to anyone who asks for a photograph
of the cZar.
Nj. Bertolani, photographer Of
Salerno, was the double Of the late
King Humbert of Italy, and so proud
Of his resemblance was he that he
spent much of his spare time study
ing the attitudes and gestures of his
sovereign. For this labor he was well
rewarded. since the soldiers. mistaking
| him for the king, saluted him.
Herr Adolph Hirschfeld, the double
Of Emperor William of Germany, is
| hy no means nrold of his resemblance
and he feels very uncomfOrtab bic when
anyone mistakes him for the kaiser,
for he fears that the latter will frown
on him sooner or later and will request
him to leave Germany.
NJ. Bernede, a wealthy gentleman Of
Lyons, is the living image OF King
