THE w. c. I. u. AND SMOKING.

It will be agreed that the Women's
Christian Temperance Union has a
worthy cause when it devotes Its en-
deavors to the suppression Of intern
perance, but when it includes within
the scope of its warlike campaign a
movement against the use of tobacco
on the streets, poor, down-trodden
man cannot be blamed for registering
a kick.
The latest, crusade was inaugurated
in Chicago Saturday by the Cook coun-
ty w. G. T. u. when resolution
was passed petitioning the council to
draft an ordinance providing a
fine OF Imprisonment for any man
caught smoking on the street, in res
turants, street cars, railroad trains
or any place where ladies may happen
to be. The Rev. Mary L. Moreland.
who presented the resolution, had this
to say in placing it before the meet

heap of mfsdemeanors. and severely

lie place"
The w. C. T. u. is doubtless operat-
ing on the theory that everything else
concerning the daily life and habits

formed except smoking and is NOV.
ing to give reform a clean sweep. But
the Chicago council is composed Of
men and the w. G. T. U. resolution is
already as good as consigned to the
waste basket Which is very fitting
and proper.

California, his wishes were law.
Within the last hundred years Spain
has been an empire, republic and a
kingdom
Spain was the buffer country be.
tween the Phoenecian civilization of
Carthage and the white civilization of
Rome When Hannibal began his in
vasion of the Roman republic he start
ed through Spain. The spaniards
fought him at Seguntun, and the
strength of that defense was such as to
make Hispania thereafter the favorite
province in the Roman confederation
and in the Roman Empire.
The Moors swept over Spain and up
as far as the foothills of the Provinces.
A six hundred year civil war followed.
The Spaniards gradually strengthened
themselves in their mountains and per-
sistently drove the Moors back and
back until in 1892, the year in which
Columbus saw America, the Moors
went out Of Granda and once more
crosses the straits.
But before the Moors came into
Spain the Cloths came from the north
and the Goth became more Span
lard than the Aborigines. The staying
quality that the Spaniard has today Is
due to the invasion of the Gothic blood
When you see fair haired Spaniard

the imprint of the Goth.
There was time when the Spanish
infantry was the admiration Of the gen.

But that time Is not now.

THE BIG KIN OF THE LITTLE
PRINCE OF SPAIN.

Chicago Examiner-Yester in
Madrid, Mrs. Victoria Capet, wife OF
Alfonso Capet. gave birth to a boy.
Reports state that mother, father and
infant are doing we'll.
If heredity counts for anything. AL
fonso XIV. can be either saint or
sinner. He has the blood of the best
and of the worst royal families of
Europe in his little veins.
He can mark his ancestry from the
day when the Moors ruled over all
Spain except little province in the
northern part called Asturia. OF this
Asturia he is called the prince.
Ferdinand, and his wife, Isabella,
who financed Columbus expedition to
this country, were among his forbears.
The grandson of Ferdinand and Isa-
bella, be it remembered, was Charles
V. And the blood of Charles v, courses
through the house Of Lorraine or
Hapsburg. The princes grandmother
is member Of the Hapsburg dynasty.
This little son of Alfonso XIII is a
descendant Of Hugh Capet, who was
the founder of the Bourbon dynasty
And Hugh Capet lived long before the
year 1000.
Other ancestors Of the little king are
Phillip Augustus Louis the Saint,
Louis XIV and Phillip v.
The direct line coming down from
Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain ex-
pired In about 100, when Louis XIV
had his grandson placed on that
throne. This grandson, Philip ", held
the throne during the great wars Of
the Spanish succession.
One of the infamous forbears of the
prince in the Bourbon line was Ferdin-
and VII, who sold out the kingdom to
VII had minister named Godoy. Go
doy was greater CRATER than any
modern CRATER produced by Tammany
hall or by any Cook county political
machine.
The prince is great grandson of the
late Queen Victoria of England of
happy memory. Queen Victoria mad
in her the blood of the house of Lor-
raine and the house Of Guise and the
German royal house of Guelph. She
was descendant of Mary Stuart. For
Mary Stuart was the mother of James
/ Of England and James was the faith.
er of Charles of England, who lost
his head because he did not know how
to be king.
Charles sister married Frederick v
the winter king. From this line came
the Georges, whence came Victoria
Thus the little king has some great
women in his line of mothers There is
Victoria; there Is collaterally Elizabeth
of England and Mary of Scotland, and
there is in the Hapsburg house the
great Maria Teresa.

great nephew Of Edward VII, the sec

Mr.. Neilfs movements have been fol-

statement is not made. the impression
is given that in Mr.. Neill's efforts the
administration considers that the limit
OF its functions and authority in the
matter is being exercised.
