inspecting the plans he sent for the
architect.
Monsieur" he said, your town
hall promises to be a most artistic
building well worthy to figure among
the architectural masterpieces of Bel
GUM. but there is a slight omission
in your design and one from which,
fear, the town officials may have
cause to suffer, in winter at least.
You have forgotten the chimneys in
your plans."/
The absent-minded architect, think
ing it too good TO keep, tells the story
himself.
King Leopold is a keen sportsman
and capital shot. His fayorite sport
is chamois hunting and notwithstand-
ing his II years he stin scales the
Alps on his annual summer vacation
in search of the chamois with all the
agility of a Tyrolese mountain guide.
The press has revealed to it's read
ers from time to time that some SOW
ereigns work harder than their sub
iects. Emperor William and Emperor
Francis Joseph being notable exam
plies of the strenuous life on throne.
King Leopold, who is supposed out
side of his realm to be giddy seeker
after pleasure or a prosecutor of his
Congo subjects, is perhaps the bust
est man in Belgium. He has profound
contempt for idIeness, is never at rest
/ and work like a Trojan.
At Laeken, his customary resi-
dence, he gets up at five o'clock in
summer, and half an hour later in
winter. Immediately after dressing
he takes a brisk walk in the palace
gardens BY seven O'Clock he is
: at his desk examining his mail, which
is brought from Brussels by auto
mobile.
He breakfasts at eight O'Clock, then
goes back to his Office and works un

luncheon. Early in the afternoon he
drives to the Brussels palace, where

and. as a rule. last until three. He
returns to Laeken for five o'clock tea
and later devotes himself to affairs

| At six o'clock he dimes with Prin
cess Clementine, his only unmarried

| In the evening he resumes work
and reads the latest state dis
matches for Brussels. His robust
health and his energy, remarkable FOL

The clock is four feet high and a
perfect timekeeper. Railroads should
have it With such a clock big trains
ought to climb the Altoona grade and
reach the top always exactly on time.
Dollar watches are said to kill more
people than automobiles, causing bust

When they are to be at dinner at
seven o'clock they often do not ar

they are in the right house.
This clock has set of cathedral
chimes. So beautiful are their tones
that one can imagine himself in old
Strassburg, Cologne or the Notre

eight months to complete the wonder

A MANIFESTED KING.
LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM EosT
VERSATILE OF MoNARcEs.
How He Turned Laugh on an Archi-
tect of Note--Is FOND Of Hunting
and Climbs Alps Each Summer
in Search Of the Chamois.

Brussels, Belgium. leopold H.,
king Of the Belgians and sovereign
Of the Congo Free State. may well
claim to be the most versatile Of CON
dnental crowned heads There was a
time when this distinction was popu
larly attributed to Emperor William,
but the kaiser must now take back
seat
The yankee of monarchs," as the
Belgians have affectionately nick
named their ruler, is, above all, a
mod ern captain of industry. His dar-
ing speculations fully entitle him to
the sobriquet By which he is familiar
~ known to his subjects. His very
versatility has transatlantic favor,
for the laurels he has won in such
varied fields of human activity as
finance, diplomacy, literature, art and
sport appear more in the line of an
American millionaire than of a Euro
pean monarch.
Latterly the king seems to have
been intent on proving that he might
have acquired repute as an architect
had he been of humber birth. He
has succeeded in making Brussels
one of the most beautiful architecture
ally of continental capitals.
What Baron Hausmann did for
Paris under the second empire Leo
pold Ii. has planned for Brussels. He
has designed some of the most artis-
tic public buildings recently erected
in Brussels, such as the new national
bank. the lovely Flemish theater Ia
gem of its kind and the new royal
palace of Brussels. This place, of the
purest classic style, is now nearing
completion and promises to be one
of the most sumptuous and aesthetic
abodes on the continent
The plans for a new town hall in
Brussels suburb were submitted to
him for approval. He carefully exam
ined the drawings in every detail as
is his wont To superficial observer
they seemed beyond criticism, from

proved Flemish renaissance style to

Eloquent Reminder Of Pioneer Days in

200 Times.

New York.-The accompanying IL
lusfration shows an old-time stage
coach Of the Buffalo Bill variety. 1t
formerly belonged to the Wells-Fargo
Overland Stage company, which made
wonderful trips across the plans,
drawing UP in front of the principal
hcfel of each town stuck full of arrows
and bullets from redskins and stage
robbers lying in wait along the route.
Talk of heroes and those immortals Of
Balaklaya days! They are not In 1t

never showed fear While being
scalped. skinned alive or filled full Of
holes for their money they would
pass In their chips with smiles on
their faces.
The particular stage in the illustra-
tion is one of the old Wells Fargo We
hicles which ran between Phoenix,
Maricopa county, ana Prescott. Yay-
apai county, Ariz.
OF all the stages on the southern
line, this particular vehicle became
distinguished because it had been held
up by Arizona stage robbers and In
dams 1874 times In the course Of Its
20 years service. 1t is a we'll made,
honest stage, that can withstand near
ly ten "hold ups" year for 20 years.
1t is said that so much Arizona "pizen"
was spilled by travellers in the vehi
Gle that the coaches became thorough

powder could jar them.
Drivers and guards were always

the first thing the helpers" did while

it from an aunt, who secured the tiny
volume years ago in Glasgow, Scot
land, the city where municipal owner
ship comes from, and where the small
est dictionary in the world was pub
lished.
This dictionary is one and one-six-
teenth by three-fourths Of an inch in
size and is ven-sixteenths of an inch
thick While its pages are perfectly
white and Opaque, they are thinner
than the finest transparent tissue pa-
per. Each page of this dictionary con-
tains more than 100 words, and the
book more than $4,000, each of which
can be read clearly with the aid of
microscope. An ordinary magnifying
glass will not raise the type a suff-
cient number of diameters to make it
readable. The pages were printed
from type set forms and net from
plates, and, minus the margin, the
printed page is less than three-fourths
by less than an inch in size. The
dictionary was edited by S. E. A.

University Press at Glasgow.

The Uraad is only IS feet long, with
an S-foot beam. She is egg shaped,
and it is owing to her peculiar form
that she is able to ride safely over big
Atlantic rollers that would swamp All
ordinary boat of her size.
Capt. Brude is very proud of his lit
tie craft, and has great hopes that his
invention will prove of inestimable
service to sailors. and minimize loss
OF life in cases of wreck or collision.
He certainly has the courage Of his
convictions. 1t is no light undertake

To have a clerk get gay with you.
A man you're certain cannot get
One-half your salary. and yst
He acts as though he owned the town
And has the nerve to coll you down.
But don't let that your temper mar
Perhaps he don't know who you are.
vVli not allow You to explain.
But wants to put the blame on you
Because he missed you going through
And says you tried to beat your way
And didn't really mean to pay.
Dou't rise and throw him from the car;
Perhaps he don't know who you are.
When the policeman swings his club
And gruffiy says, Move on, you dub.
And take away that ugly mug.
Or will land you in the jug"
Don't answer him. The street Is free.
And part OF II belongs to me.
But quickly hio yourself afar;
Perhaps no don't know who you are.
How can tho man with but two eyes
Know you are great and good and wises
You do not bring your pedigree
Along for every one to see.
The multitude can't understand
That Sullivan once shook your hand
And that your father saw the czar;
Perhaps they don't know who you are.
