SHADOW OF A KING Talk Between a European Monarch and an English
 Friend.
  SOLEMN THING TO BE A KING \ Constitutional Monarch Now Little But Mockery and
 Snare.
SOLEMN THING TO BE A KING

The following is not fanciful sketch but a truthful account of .a re- cent conversation between a reignins European monarch and an English friend:
 We were alone--the King and r. seated at little round table in the palace, and we were talking on any subject that came uppermost-the weather, tho German Emperor, the Japanese. He was very young-in kingship, not in years-and spoke with the earnestness of a prophet.
 Yes. the Japanese had reused Asia out of the sleep of ages; they had jostled the elbow of the Sick Man Mahomet and made him sit up and rub his eyes and look around at the great heritage slipping from his grasp. Buddha and Confucius and Mahomet were waking once more, and it be- hooved Christian Europe and Ameri- ca to keep watch and ward in their citadel, for the time was drawing near when these forces must meet in another Armageddon.
 The German Emperor he had known since boy His admiration for his genius and energy was unbounded. Like all great men he was misunder- stood No monarch was more desir- | ous of peace; none more anxious tu he on good terms with his neighbors. He was glad the Emperor went to England. His presence would serve to remove some of the suspicion and jealousy that embittered the two great branches of the family of Teutons..
 A cloud had swept across the face

When young girls thoughts be- come sluggish; when she has head aches, dizziness, faintness, and ex- hibits an abnormal disposition to sleep; dislikes the society of other girls; then the mother should come to her aid promptly, for she pos sesses information of vital import ance to the young daughter.
 At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia k. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and has helped to bring three generations safely from girl hood to womanhood. Read what

of the King. When he spoke again it eyes were filled with the faraway look of man who communed with his own soul in the solitude of his chamber
 Tt is a great and solemn thing to be a king. Time was-even in my fathers day-when the King might hold opinions and declare them for the good of his people. But that time is gone. and l may have convictions and not dare to make them known. I am what is called a constitutional monarch-a snare and mockeTy. for though the constitution may be mon- arch the monarch may not be the Constitution. 1 am man, thinking, rational being, and cannot escape the burden of opinions and convietios. But my ministers are my conscience, the bondsmen of my mind. Their beliefs and their aims may be mine and my conscience may be at rest and do no wrong to the soul that is within me. But Ministers come and go, like the seasons of sun and snow. To-day the sun shines and 1 feel myself a sentent responsible creature. Tomorrow is clouded and cold with the north wind of another and an alien ministry of men whom my people have set over me. Their gods are not my gods; their 1 hopes are not my hopes; yet l must be silent and breathe no word of re- proach or warning. l am become a man without a soul-without a mind "a mirror refecting false and dis torted vision. To speak might become l a king-but not a constitutional mon- arch. My people have robbed me of my soul: they have said to me in that electoral voice which must not he disobeyed: Behold the men we have set over you: these shali be your soul and your conscience. Speak them fair or not at all and I must suffer all things in silence.
 'This is why it is a hard thing to be king-to see my people led astray and not raise my voice in warning to be a shepherd and not speak when the wolf is in the fold. Oh. it is indeed great and solemn thing to be a | king!"
 The'voice of the King changed from sadness to hope and the cloud van ished and his face was bright with a new and strange radiance
 But I have faith in my people I remember their glorious history-the battles they have fought. the victories they have won--and l look with hope into the future. I can see but a little way, for the path is dark; but the sun shines bright overhead and will scat ter the darkness. My people will break down the altars of the false gods and turn deaf ear to the false prophets of anarchy and socialism They will turn once more to the eternal truth that is in man"
 As I passed out of the palace through echoing halls I saw the pie lures of the dead Kings-the men of sword and buckler who hewed this kingdom out of the north-the men who spoke and were obeyed
 And I knew that these were the sub- stance and the King I had left was the shadow-London Correspondence New York Sun

Effort to Save Victims Life.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 24.-While
David Schane, manager of an At
lanta automobile agency, was lying
on an operating table at Grady hos
pital tonight giving up his blood In
a supreme effort to save the life OF
Alfred Smart Grandy, II years old,
whom he had injured earlier In the
evening by running over him in his
automobile, the little victim died OF
his injuries.
Mr.. Schane ran over the child late
in the afternoon at the intersection
of Mitchell and Washington streets.
The boys right leg was cut off, his
left badly fractured, and he sustain
ed internal injuries. The little fel-
low was hurried to the hospital, fol-
lowed by Mr.. Schane, who volunteer
ed to give up his blood in the effort
to save the boys life, and it was
while Mr.. Schane was on an operat-
ing table opposite that on which lay
the boy, with the blood passing from
his left arm into the child's body,
that the little fellow died.
DR.. Grandy, father of the child,
died in the Philippines several years
ago, where he occupied a position in
the regular army, and, while return
ing to America with his body, his
wife, the mother of Alfred Smart,
was taken sick and cied two weeks
after landing.

Took Laudanum to End Life.

Asheville, N. c., Dec. 24.-Lylng
on the ground with four empty laud-
anum bottles close by, the dead body
of William Byers, aged 60 years.
who disappeared from his home IN
Balfour, N. c., ten days ago, was
found yesterday morning, near the
foot of Stoney mountain, half mile
from Balfour. The condition OF the
remains indicated that Byers had
been dead about week.
There is no known reason why
Byers should have committed sui
eide. He left the home of his daugn-
ter, Mrs. James Gallmore, at Hen
dersonville, about ten days ago and
had not been seen or heard of up to
the discovery Of his body yesterday.
He was apparently in good health
and spirits when he left his daugh-
ter's house, but is known to have
brooded considerably over the deatn
of his son, who committed suicide
some years ago. Mr.. Byers, who up
to several months ago, was employ
ed by the Balfour Quarry Company,
was a brother-in-law Of ex-Congress-
man Gudger, of Asheville.

Innocent Man PardOned.

Governor Ansel yesterday grant
ed a pardon in peculiar case,
one in which even the prosecu-
ting attorney expressed the opinion
that the prisoner should never have
been prosecuted, much less con-
victed.
According to the petition in be-
half of Elliott Jones, colored, he
was convicted in April, 1906, in
Bamberg, on charge of stealing
hog, and was given sentence OF
thirteen months, which he is now
serving, the case being taken up on
appeal at first, but later dropped by
his lawyer. Jones was not notified
that the appeal had been abandoned,
it is stated, and was very much sur
prised when he was made to begin
his sentence. It appears that Jones
had renewed a bill of sale to D. j..
Delk, including hog, which Eelk
had allowed Jones to retain in his
possession. A difference arose, set
tlement was had, and Jones paid up
the account in full, supposing that
the hog was included. He then re-
moved, and either sold or killed the
hog. Later prosecution followed on
a warrant charging Jones with the
theft of the hog, and he was con-
victed.
In recommending that pardon
be granted, on the showing made,
Solicitor Davis says that he has
made a personal Investigation and
finds the facts stated in the petition
to be true. "It is not very credit
able to those people at Bamberg,
who prosecuted this negro" says
the solicitor, "to impose upon the
prosecuting officer the unpleasant
duty of convicting an innocent
man" He recommends pardon
which has been granted.-Columbia
