SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE
suit for maintenance filed by Mrs.
Annie d. Talbot, one of San Fran
cisco's most beautiful women,
against her millionaire husband,
VIM. H. Talbot, has brought to
light the fact that the use of opium
is common among the 400 OF San
Francisco.
Mrs. Talbot declares in her suit
that her feelings were wounded by
her husbands accusation to the eff
feet that she smoked opium. Mr..
Talbot, in his answer. says that he
did not accuse his wife of smoking
the drug. Nevertheless the trouble
between husband and wife has
been sufficient to draw the public's
attention to a queer practice In
vogue among San Francisco swag-

They play the game according to
the regulation rules adopted by
the major leagues, and the only
difference is the size of the dia-
mond and the ball. The diamond
is slightly smaller than the regu-
lar one and the ball Is larger than
the regulation league ball, and not
quite so large as the ball used in
the indoor game. The girls league

Young King Risks His Life but Will Settle Down After
Marriage-He Has a Museum in Which Are Many
+ Momentoes of His Many Narrow Escapes-He Tickles
the Bishop.

MADRID, Sept. 18.-King Alton
SO has started a private museum in
one of the rooms of the royal pal
ace at Madrid, in which he is max
ing a collection of mementoes of
his numerous escapes from dis
asters.
The chief items in the collection
are two rugs, made from skins OF
horses that were killed by the
bomb thrown at his majesty when
he was driving with President Lou
bet in Paris this summer. Another
trophy is Spanish military KEPT
peppered with gunshOt. Alfonso
was wearing the hat one day when
out shooting with several young
Spanish grandees. One Of them
was attacked with "buck fever"
and fired his gun straight at the
king, who escaped by miracle, his
hat being shot away.
Under glass are the front teeth
of a pet bulldog that bit Alfonso
severely in the hand last year. The
king killed the dog with a revolver
and kept the teeth as a reminder
of his escape.
A petition which was being pre-
scented to the king on the day of his
coronation, three years ago, by a
man who wanted to assassinate the
young monarch, has an honored
place in the museum. Part of the
steering gear of his automobile
that went wrong in the streets Of
Madrid a few weeks ago while AL.
fonso was speeding 40 miles an
hour, rests on shelf, as a re-
hinder that his majesty faces other
dangers beside assassinations.

recently urged the king to be more
moderate in his automobile speed
ing, Alfonson replied, What will
you say when l go down in sub
marine? | am going to examine the
bottom of the sea on the first OPP
portunity."
Bishops and cardinals have also
tried their hands at curbing the
boy king. To one of these Alfonso
made the rejoinder, 81 am willing
to confess but not to obey" a re
ply that so tickled the venerable
bishop of Toledo, to whom it was
made, that he telegraphed 1t to the
vatican.
When he marries, Alfonso says
he will settle down, but before his
wedding day he expresses his de-
sire to spend one glorious hour in
the bull ring.
The constant reports Of the royal
princesses whom Alfonso is to mar
ry cause the king great amusement,
and he is reported to have started
a collection of photographs of the
girls mentioned from time to time
at his probable bride which he la
