taxation, but each year saw an in
creased deficit The grafters only
smiled and went on their grating way
Then Carlos made Senior Franco
Prime Minister and called on the Cortes
(the Parliament) to get together as
men and inaugurate much-needed re
forms. They failed, and he dissolved
the Cortes, ordering a new election and
declaring he would not permit a ses-
sion until the people had had an OBJ
portunity to select other and better
men. The Cortes was defiant, and he
made Franco dictator of the kingdom
with full power.
The disgruntled grafters preached to
the people Of the illegality of Frances
dictatorship and enlisted a tremendous
opposition to him, but the King upheld
him. When, fearing revolution, with its
attendant bloodshed and horror, he of
fered to resign, Carlos refused, saying
that in the end they might abdicate to
gether, but not before they had fought
together. Frances rule was clearly IL
legal and the King was much beyond
his constitutional rights, but if ever q

and iron-handed dictator it was Portu

peatedly threatened. Revolution was
feared, but few anticipated the climax
which came with cowardiy double as
sassination
King Carlos was As years Of age He
was a son of Luiz l. and Maria Pia,
daughter Of Victor Emmanuel II. of
italy and sister of King Humbert. On
the death Of his father in 1889 he be-
came King, at the age Of 26.
In 1883 he married Marie Amelie,
daughter Of the dethroned royal house
Of France, the Comte de Paris, and Sis
ter of the present Duke Of Orleans
She is counted among the most beauti-
full royal women of Europe She was
recently in England to attend the we'd
ding Of her sister.
Amelie is much beloved by the Por-
tuguese people and was very much at
tached to her good-natured spouse.
Carlos was almost giant in weight,
over 300 pounds. He was a hearty
eater, and many stories probably ex-
aggerated- told Of his appetite.
Despite his weight he was an athlete,
excelllng especially in swimming He
was also a ripe scholar linguist and
an artist OF no little merit.

THE ETERNAL WILL.

BY henry f. Cope.
''Thy will be done in earth as it is in
heaven. Matt. vi. 10.
How easy it is for the strong to de-
ride the petition, Thy will be done"
and to reject it as the cry of weak
ling or a coward. Taken by itself it
may sound like the surrender of one
who either does not dare to rebel or
does not care to question some over
whelming force.
Is it our part to submit like blind
slaves, to acknowledge that the will of
the most high is right and best simply
because we know it is mightier than
our own? If this teaches us that re-
HgiOn means the breaking Of our wills.
then religion must be source of
weakness rather than of strength in
the world.
We cannot afford to lose the power
to will. No greater wrong can be
done to a child than to attempt to
break or crush his will. He will need
that power for self-determinatfon in
his business Of living later on. And
so do men and women need every day
the power to will and the wisdom to
recognize how much depends every mo-
ment on their free willing of the right
or the wrong.
Submission alone cannot make saints
Bowling the neck before that which is
mightier, whether it be God, or devil.
or fate, will only at last bring US a
race of witless weaklings. The en-
phasis on submission and the talk
about the surrendered will have pro-
duced a stratum of spineless people
in religion and have turned from it
many who might have brought to It
splendid resources Of strength and wis
dom.
How often is submission no more
many thinking that they are piously
yielding to the divine will when they
are only refusing to make the exer-
ton of willing at all for themselves.
The call Of higher religion is for those
who will highly resolve, who constant
ly determine, who resolutely set their
faces to better things.
That prayer is neither the prayer of
despair, saying since these things must
be so, let them be so, nor is 1t the
prayer Of submission; it is the prayer
of determination. the prayer that wills
the doing Of the yet higher will. 1t IS
not crying, give up, but 1 go on de-
liberately, gladly in the way and will
OF heaven.
None can truly pray such a prayer
blindly. There may be times when 1t
Is uttered when the voice Is choking

public treasury was the private pocket
book of constituencies schelners and
dishonest place owners. Public office
degenerated to genteel brlgandage. The
civil service was honeycombed with sin
ecures, and the chief trade of those
holding Office was to create salaried pO-
sitiOns devoid Of work. There were
two great parties-the Conservatives
and the Liberals-but one was as false
to honor and duty as the other, and
an arrangement existed whereby, no
matter which was In control, the sin
ecures remained In the hands of the
professional spOilsmen. If there was
change, it was simply a transfer of
graft-yielding places and a swapping
Of sinecures. The people murmured, but
in their ignorance and poverty were

either position, the young life must de-

There is type of in the worlds work whose sole
