THE BOY KING or PORTUGAL
He Is the Youngest Living Wearer
of Crown.
just a Few Days Past His Majority
When He Was Called 10
Throne by TrasedF.

Manuel II. the new King Of Portugal,
who assembled the throne the other day
under circumstances almost unprecedent-
eddy tragic, is young monarch, as mon
archs go.
Indeed. had the murder Of his father
and his elder brother occurred only d few
days before it did. he would have been at
one and the same time king and an
infant" in the eyes OF the law But By
Portuguese custom the crown prince at
tains his majority at eighteen, and Mas
ter Manuel" as he was until quite re-
Gently. is just over that age.
Even so. however. he is the youngest OF
living European rulers, although, Of
course. not the youngest to be proclaimed
king. That record. as all the world
knows belongs TO King Alfonso OF Spain,
who was born a king.
Wihelmina CT Holland. too. was a
queen de jure when a little girl in short
frocks although she was not formally
crowned until her eighteenth birthday.
Kwang Su. the present Emperor OF
China. was only a few months past three
years old when ne was proclaimed ruler
over more than 1900 600 square miles of
territory and 100000 human beings.
King Chaulalonkorn Of Siam assembled the
throne at fifteen His powerful neighbor,
Mutsu Hito. was acclaimed Emperor of
Japan soon after his fourteenth birthday.

terrible death is still fresh in public mem

uncivilized tribes Of American Indians
at least rests upon the popular recog-
milton within the tribe while the people
of France repudiated the nobility some
time ago. And yet the noble Helie de
Sagan says that his rank prevents him
from working for a living. The late Jay
Gould was a somewhat interruptions ex-
ponent of frenzied finance. but he was ar
least q man. If he were alive to-day he
would doubtless regard getting first a
count Of the republic OF France and then
a prince whose titles are read in a dead
language and who are too noble TO earn
a living a penalty sufficiently heavy to
fit his crimes.

a Sydney quotation placed the market

EIephant and Engine Meet.

From the Madras Pioneer
An elephant was crossing a railway line
when a down ballast train in motion tried
to whistle him of the line He obeyed
the whistle. but instantly was on the line
again and pushed the engine back with
all the strength he could muster. causing
the derailment Of the engine and one OF
the tracks. The driver fell of and re-
eeived some injuries. and the mahout,
who had apparently lost all hold over the
animal, and had perhaps anticipated the
accident. jumped down. but was unhugt.
The elephant was only bruised.

LOW RATES IN 1909.

Travel to the North Pacific Coas,
next summer will undoubtedly be the
heaviest In the history OF the trans.
continental railroads. The railroads
have fixed upon the rates that will
be charged from what is known as
the St. Paul and Missouri River
points. Al the recent meeting Of the
Transcontinental Passenger Associa-
tion the rates for the Aiaska.Yukon.
Pacific Exposition next summer were
settled.
From the following points---Oma-
Ia. Council BLUFFS. Pacinc Junction.
Atchinson. Leavenworth. st. Joseph.
Kansas City. st. Paul. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Superior--the round trip
rate to the North Pacific Coast points
Seattle. Tacoma. Everett. Belling-
ham. Victoria and Vancouver. II. c.
was fixed at $50.
The tickets will go on sale May
:5. 1909. and continue on sale until
September 30 with a final return lin
II OF October 81.
These rates and the wide limit OF
time will stimulate travel 20 this sec
tion rs never before. Thousands
drawn by the magnet OF the great
Pacific Worlds Fair will come with
the idea OF looking into the resources
OF the country and hundreds OF in
tending settlers will use this unex-
celled opportunity to make their In
vesti.ations.
The liberal rates for the st. Paul
and Missouri River points means u
like reduced round trip rate from
Chicago and st. Louis points and pro-
portionatc reduction from extreme
Eastern points. Never before have
people had such splendid opportun-
ity.
