SORROWS OF A KING.
Tho Buoyant and Imprcssionable Al
fonso Is Grievously Henpecked.

1t is an interesting tale that comes
from Madrid, to the effect that the
youthful King. the buoyant and i'm
questionable Alfonso. is grievously
henpecked. His wife, Victoria, Is
a granddaughter OF the late and good
and great Queen Victoria, and doubt
less the younger Queen inharits from
the elder certain OF those forceful
personal qualities which did so mrch
to steady the English ship OF state.
Ii Is always sad to see one so young
and care-free and irridescent as was
Alfonso in his boyish bachelor days
brought up. short. in spite Of his
crown.
II reports are true, then no more
for Il m the primrose path of dalliance
or any other path except the Straight
and stony one. No more the free
ana easy fandango danced with
choice spirits, no more the merry
bull-nght, for the young Queen, his
dearly loved better half. and more.
has set her generous Anglo-Saxon
foot down upon these pastimes hard
and fast. Alfonso must now be good
and dutiful. or Victoria must know
the reason why. 1t seems that she
has offended about half his kinsfolk
and two-thirds of his old courtiers.
Not only Is she prudent 1 manage
ment Of the King, but cautious in her
outlay of the household expenses.
She has as good as told score OF
regular feedlings at the palace to
put on their old hats and 30 away
to eat. Her patrician nose she has
turned up at the national sport,
therefore offending many of the gay
est patrons of the bull ring. She
"alls bull-fighting "butchering," and
absolutely refuses to lend her royal
presence to the sport. She went once
and almost started a family feud
by holding her hands over her eyes
when the torreador, in ell the glory
of his pink sash ana knee breeches
gave the bull the grand kibosh with
his polished rapier.
1t Is pity to see a jaunty young
man like Alfonso XIII. gradually
shrivel until he Is nothing more than
timid married man with enough re-
sponsibilities upon his shoulders to
sink ship. But such is life. the
world over. There are crosses even
in the King business.

Sound Advice.

Anne Steese Richardson gives
some pertinent advice to girls look
ing for employment, in the May
Woman's Home C0mbani0n. "Tell
the employer" she says, what
you think you can do, not what you
have done at home or in school, nor
why you need the position. He
wants to know whether you can
write legibly, spell correctly, figure
accurately and are strong enough
to serve him SO many hours day,
so many days week. If this man
, has his own and his employers in
terests at heart he will regard you
as he does a bolt of fine silk on the
shelves outside his Office. This
sounds almost brutal. 1t sounds as
if you were no better than the dry
goods upon the shelf. Well, when
you get right down to facts, that
employer is taking just as great a
chance in hiring you, an unframed
| girl whom he must train at his
firms expense, as he is in buying a
bolt OF silk that may or may not
find favor with the firms custom
ers. If you do the work. he is
glad to pay you the money you
need. If you cannot do the work,
then perhaps for second he feels
sorry for you, but he argues that a
charity organization to which his
firm contributes should look after
your case. A store, factory or Of
fee is beehive of industry, not a
retuge fer Me0mpekents in Distress"

War on the Coddling Moth.
Surface Ready 10 Show the Farmers Remeds I

The coddling moth must go.
State Economic Zoologist Surface
Monday announced that he was
ready to begin public demonstra-
tons of up.to-date spraying for the
destruction of this fruit growers
pest. The demonstrations will be
held at the orchards maintained by
the State in various counties.
DR.. Surface says the coddling
moth damages the apples, pears and
ounces of Pennsylvania to the ex-
tent of a quarter million dollars a
year. He said.
means to kill this pest are SO
simple and cheap that it is Won
der that our people have not risen
against it long ago. Any arsenical
poison will do the work. The trees
should be sprayed as SOON as the
blossoms fall and shortly thereafter.
Don't spray when the flowers are
blooming. The moth bites only
what are known as the 'pome'
fruits. 1t does not attack stone
fruits, like peaches.
"Our apple crop is SO valuable
that we must proceed against
the moth, and I hope that the
spraying will be the means OF saw
ing thousands of dollars year to
our fruit growers.
II am also planning series of
experiments to see how late trees
can be sprayed for San Jose scale
with safety. 1 will use some Of
my own trees for this demonstra-
ton"

HARGIS CASE WILL
COME UP TODAY
ABSENT WITNESS WHO DELAY
ED THE TRIAL HAS BEEN
FOUND.

JACKSON, KY, June 3.-The trial
of Beech Hargis case was again de-
layed today by the court not having
concluded the trial of Roger Spicer,
charged with completely in the murder
of James Johnson. Johnson was a
nephew of the late James Marcum,
and was shot and killed on the Ken
lucky River, ten miles above here,
three years ago.
One interesting feature If this trial
was the testimony of Mrs. Johnson,
mother of the boy who was killed,
who stated that she hurried from the
bedside OF her boy as he lay dying for
fear of her own life.
The Hargis case will be called to-
morrow morning. and will probably
proceed at once, as both sides have
nounced that they expected to be
ready The witness, stephen Smith.
whose absence has delayed the case,
was found and brought into court to-
lay.

HOUSE PASSED
ST. PETERS CLAIM
FAILURE TO OBTAIN APPROPRIA-
TON WAS DUE TO SENATE.
BUILDING AT PULASKI.

Through the efforts of Congressman
Padgett in the omnibus claims bills,
which passed the House of Repre-
sentatives at the present session of
Congress provision was made for the
payment of the claim of st. Peters
Episcopal church here. The state
ment heretofore made that this claim
was AIDED as Senate amendment is
an injustice to Mr.. Padgett. The bill
as passed by the House contained few
church claims, but one of them was a
provision for paying the amount due
to st. Peters church.
Congressman Padgett succeeded in
obtaining an appropriation of $500
for the purpose of site for a public
building at Pulaski, which means that
at the next session provision will be
made for the erection of a substantial
post Office in that city. This makes
the second public building that has
been secured for this district The
Pulaski bill was distinct triumph
for Mr.. Padgett since neither in popu-
lation nor in post office receipts does
that city come to the general require
ments of the rule for the erection of
post office buildings.

VIOLATIONS OF
POSTAL LAWS
PLACING OF CIRCULARS OR UN.
STAMPED IN RURAL BOXES
DANGEROUS PRACTICE.

Because the person who uses a box
on rural route has purchased it does
not give him or the public any right
to its use unless full postage has been
paid. 1t is a violation of the law to
place circulars or any matter except
properly stamped mail matter
in one Of the rural route
boxes. 1t is a violation of
the law for a neighbor to place a note
in one of these boxes unless it shall
be properly stamped for collection by
the rural route carrier. In fact moth
ing can be placed in one of these boxes
except letters and other mailable mat
ter for collection by the carrier. Post
master Jackson calls the attention of
the public to the law in view of the
fact that there have been unintention-
al violations which if detected and
might prove much more
;ostly than little postage.

PROBABLE PRICE ON
FARM PRODUCTS
WILL LIKELY OPEN AT 80
TO IS CENTS AND OATS LOOK
GOOD AT As CENTS.

The large daily papers over the
United States are publishing lengthy
reports in regard to the effect the Tex
as floods will have upon the wheat,
cat and corn crops. This destruction
Of the Texas commerce will to GER
tain extent shorten the supply in the
west, but will not materially affect the
South. st. Louis will supply the
greater part of the shortage in the
food section and as this section of the
country is not in direct connection
with that western market it will not
be affected materially.
Wheat will open at soc to S5c per
bushel unless there is some evidence
that has not appeared as yet to the
crop in the middle basin. The cat
crop will be unusually large, and while
there have been several crops bought
at IS cents for future delivery. 4Oc
cents will probably be the ruling price.
Some buyers are offering only 80 cents
for oats to be delivered from the
hresher.
1t is too far off to speculate as to
.uture of the corn crop, but from pres
,nt indications that crop will be abun.
liant and the usual price Of s2.00 to
1926 per barrel will prevail.
