the action of two refiexes. both orig

his feet, saying:

little souvenir of one with whom you
have been conyersing," giving him a
gold coin and leaving the old fellow

Thoughts Constantly for Mother.
One of Don Alfonso s most beautiful
traits in his love for and devotion to
his mother, whom he address His ten
derest thoughts are ever for her. In
deed, this noble lady is worthy of her
son S devotion and of the respect of all
his subjects. But for her care and solic-
itude it is hardly likely that the King
could have reached manhood When
he came of age he ordered that all
royal honors were invariably TO be rem
dered to Queen Maria Christina.
Her Majesty, whose tastes are very
simple, now hardly ever appears at the
stately ceremonies of the Spanish court.
She prefers her own quite retirement
and the society of her own children,
with whom she spends long hours.

fore the King is able to take his
lunch.'
A short interval in the afternoon
is devoted by Don Alfonso to his own
amusement, either playing golf or ten
mis- in the Casa de Campo or taking
an automobile drive or ride on horse
back.
Children S Hour is Sacred.
Later on comes ''the children s
hour and with these precious mo.
ments the King allows nothing to in
terfere. It is the short time in the
twentyfour hours he gives himself to
spend in private with the Queen and
his two infant sons. Then he PLAYS
with them as other fathers do with
their little ones, and tries to forget the
cares and burdens Of his exalted sta
ton.
Afterward come audiences, civil and
military, and then possibly visit to
the opera or to one of the other Madrid
theaters, though more frequently, after
dinner, which is served Sat $3.50, the
King prefers rest and retirement.
The little Prince of the Asturias now
nearly two years. old, is a fine, sturdy
little fellow, with all his mother S looks

first words he was taught to say by
the King were "papao and "ma-

A KING WHO
IS Up To DATE
Alfonso of Spain Is Turning Out
to Be Well Worth
While.

MADRID, March 30.-A complete ex-
animation of the many details of the
daily life of King Alfonso XIII. of
Spain would be well-nigh impossible.
All the world is aware of his tireless
energy and activity, and, although a
portion of the Spanish press recently,
with some considerable bitterness, cen
sured his Majesty's love of sport, the
monarch does not by any means neg
lect the affairs of state Very progress
sive, he earnestly strives to promote
the advancement and well-being of the
land over which he rules.
Don Alfonso is usually dressed at
1880 a. m. and ready to peruse the
morning papers, go through his mail
and attend to important dispatches.
At about 9 clock the early break
fast is served, the King always taking
his meal in private with the other mem
bers of the royal family. This invari-
ably consists of cafe au lait, soft boiled
eggs, chicken, either cold or grilled,
and fruit.
After this the Minister on duty for
the day is received and every Thursday
there is Cabinet council presided over
by the King. A great deal of CORE
spondence has to be answered. The
humble petition of the poor man re-
ceives the same attention at the hands
of Don Alfonso as does one from his
more fortunate brother.
Luncheon is served at 1880. 81 have
been in attendance on the King for
the past two years. a gentleman of
the court said the other day, "and

The MYSTERY SOLVED
Ammonia Plant a4 Gardner Explains
Immense Water Usass at
That Place.

For some time the management OF
the Gardner and city officials have
been puzzling about the immense
consumption Of water at the new hos
tlery. 1t was believed that the meter
was running wild from the readings,
the water consumption being immense.
A man was at last detailed to read
the meter every morning at o'clock.
1t was then discovered that city water
was used in the ice making plant, to
condense ammonia gas. A continued
stream flows over the net work OF pip
ing. There was no mistake about the
meter reading.

ing of the Fargo Moornead Young

believed that Sunday would come to
Fargo in preference to a call from all
most any other city in the land.

mously in favor Of securing Sundays
