LOSES A $4,000 JOB
BY ORDER OF THE KING.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Other English
men and women of title may go into
trade" as much as they see fit, but
the members of the royal family will
not do so If King Edward can pre-
vent it. The king has just put q
determined veto on the plan of the
gallant and sporty Prince Francis of
tempting offer made him by q
wealthy firm to represent it on the
London stock exchange. The prince
is the son Of the late duke Of Teck,
and the brother of the princess of
Wales.
The firm offered the prince s15,00N
a year. Then several other houses
made still higher offers. and it began
to look as If the prince could get
any salary he pleased when the king
stepped in with the remark that
Prince Francis going on change was
out of the question.
So the prince will not get his job,
which is rough luck, for he is not
on the royal pay roll and is as hard
up as his father was before him.
His highness. who Is now 33, is
major of the First dragons. He
was educated at Sandhurst. and has
served in India. Egypt, Ireland and
South Africa.

SEASON FOR PENANCE
BEGINS FEBRUARY Is

Der, man, that thou art dust, and
unto dust thou shalt return.1 The
ashes are obtained by burning the
palms of the previous year. The
Lenten pastorals of bishops usually
prescribe that the fast on Ash We'd
nesday be kept more vigorously than
any other day in the season except
the four last days of holy week.
Originally the administration of
ashes was not made to all the faith
full. but only to public penitents. They
were compelled to appear before the
church door on the first day of Lent
with penitertial garb and bare feet.
There penance was imposed upon
them. and afterward they were
brought into the church before the
bishop. who put ashes on their heads,
saying: Age poenitentiam ut habeas
vitam aeternam," (Do penance that
thou mayest have eternal life.) He
then delivered an address, after
which they were solemnly excluded
from the church.
The number of these penitents
gradually increased until at length
the administration of ashes was ex-
tended to the whole congregation. and
the rite took its present form.

RATHER k[[p HUSBAND
THAN PAR f0R DIVORCE.

or the many odd instances the law
fraternity encounters, perhaps the
divorce" lawyer has the most varied
experience. A Scandinavian woman
dropped into local attorneys Office
this morning and at once opened the
conversation.
"Ay balm got devorce from yoh?'
she asked hesitatingly
From me? I'm not married to
you"
"Ay tank yoh no stand for vot ay
balm want. My man he balm fight me
all time"
"Oh." said the lawyer. you want
n divorce from your husband. Any
alimony?"
mo maester, devorce. How much
mownay you balm charge me?'
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-02-12

"It all depends. Some divorces cost
more, some less-they will average
$50. In your case. perhaps I could
get you out of a bad bargain for
$25."
The Swedish woman threw up her
hands in amazement and. after re-
citing long list of troubles with her
husband-"Yohn"-s did her best
to get the lawyer to knock down tho
price. He was stony-hearted.
Plead as the woman might he was
, obdurate. Not a cent less would be
touch the case for.
Finally. with fearful visage. the
woman turned to leave the office with
the remark:
