ITALYS WATCHFUL KING.

good story is told of the King Of
Italy's zeal for efficiency at the time Of
his succession to the throne. His for
eign minister, Signor Prinetti, asked
him to sign decree for the augmepta-
tion of the foreign-office staff. The
King promised to think the matter
over, and the next morning set out
alone on foot to pay a visit to the
office. Arriving at nine o'clock, he
found no one there. A long search un-
earthed solitary clerk who was smok-
ing cigarettes. What are the hours Of
this office?" asked the King. From
eight to twelve" was the reply. "And
when may / expect to see your col
leagues?" They generally turn up at
eleven Very we'll. When your chief
comes, tell him that 1 have been here"
And then his Majesty sent for Signor
Prinetti and suggested that instead Of
asking for more clerks he should make
it his business to see that the existing
clerks attended to their duties.-Les-
