Strange Gifts fo,. KING.

NJ. lie Page, humble tanner in.
habiting the little town Of Serge,
France, bought the corpses of two
horses killed at Place Rohan, Paris, by
the bombs thrown at the young king
of Spain. LIE Page did not want them
for the purposes Of his profession, but
being patriotic Frenchman and par
ticularly abhorring the anarchists he
exercised all his skill removing the skin
of the animals to preserve the parts
penetrated by the projectiles from the
bombs. Then he made from them two
fine rugs and without consulting any
one wrote directly to Alfonso Offering
them as presents to the memory Of his
fortunate escape from death. The king
wrote back explaining that a sovereign
was not permitted to accept presents
from private individuals ordinarily,
but in view of the special circum-
stances Of the case he gladly received
them and desired to express his warm
est thanks, since it was the bodies of
these poor animals that protected him
and NJ. Loubet from the designs Of
the anarchists.

that the separation not only destroys
the effect aimed at but dispels the pro-

creates.
