Interesting Tale Of a Henpeeked
Husband Comes from Madrid. e.
From the Galveston News
Il is an interesting tale tnat comes from
Madrid 70 the effect that the youthful
King. the buoyant and impressionabIe A.
fonso, is grieyously henpecked. His wife,
Victoria. is a granddaughter Of the late
and good and great Queen Victoria. and
doubtless the younger Queen inherits
from the elder certain OF those forceful
personal qualities which did so much 70
steady the English ship of state. It Is al
ways sad to see one so young and care
free and iridescent as was Alfonso in his
boyish bachelor dayr brought up short, in
spite Of his crown
If reports are true, then no more for
him the primrose path Of dalIiance. or any
other path except the straight and stony
one. No more the free and easy fandan-
go danced with choice spirits, no more
the merry bull fight for the young Queen,
his dearly beloved better half. and more,
has set her generous Anglo-Saxon foot
down upon these pastimes hard and fast.
Alfonso must now be good and dutifui or
seems that she has offended half his
kinsfOlk and tW0-thirds Of his old cOur-
tiers.
Not only is she prudent in manage
ment of the King, but cautious in her
outlay or the household expenses. She
likes little comfy dinners. with no one
present but herself. himself. and the serv-
ants. She has as good as told a score Of
regular feedlings at the palace to put on
their old hats and go away to eat. Her
patrician nose she has turned up at the
national sport. thereby offending many of
the gayest patrons of the bull ring She
calls bull fighting "butchering" and abb
sOluteiy refuses to lend her royal pres
ence to the sport. She went once. and al
most started a family feud by holding her
hands over her eyes when the toreador.

honorable industry Of raising bulls 10 be
butchered for a Spanish holiday may fall
into decay on account Of the opposition

1t is pidful to see a jaunty young man

he is nothing more than a timid married

that there were eleven original jokes in

Where He Got II.

From the Chicago News
A country politician in Pennsylvania
managed to get elected to the legislature
at Harrisburg for one term. When he
came back he built himself a fine house.
costing about $4,000. His old neighbors.
who knew he had no money before he
went to Harrisburg. and who knew the
salary OF a Pennsylvania legislator. were
curious TO discover where the returned
statesman got means to build the house.
So one day a corlmittee waited on the
man who built the house and the spokes-
man said: Jim, We think you owe it to
US who sent you to the legislature to ex-
plain where you got the money with
which you built this house. How about
it?"

still Importuning Congress.


Senator Galiinger Friday presented
in the Senate a letter from DR.. Law
renee F. Flick, chairman OF the commit
lee Of the International Congress on
tuberculosis, which is to meet in this
city next September, asking him to use
his influence TO have granted the request
of the committee for permission to use
the Capitol and House office building FOR
the sessions OF the congress.
Mr. Gallinger asked that the question
of granting the request be looked into.
and said that he hoped something could
be done
DR.. Flick declared In his letter that
there is no building in the city large
enough to accommodate the congress ex-
cept government buildings He pointed
out what the French and English gov
enments did when the congress was held
in the capitals of those countries and
asked that the United States be not
placed in a less hOspitable position
It is said at the Capitol that the re-
quest cannot be granted, as the use of
the Capitol building is limited by law to
the purposes of the government.
