That very morning as Duke of Beja,
an unconsidered boy, he stepped into
his fathers carriage. He was not heir
to the throne. BY the encourage Of
the court he was looked upon as q
prig and a .bookworm, quite different
from his colossal, good humored, blus-
tering father, who might have stepped
out Of Frans Halls canvas.
Many Of the onlookers cheered the
burly king-the Laughing cavalier" Of
mOnarchy-as he lolled back in the
carriage and curled his mustache. A
young equerry leaned on the door for
a moment and whispered joke to the
crown prince, the dashing and popu-
lar Duke Of Braganza. but Manuel sat
with his back to the horses and passed
almost unnoticed.
few minutes later as the royal car
riage drove past Arsenal street group
Of anarchists who had been skulking
at the corner suddenly sprang at the
carriage. One of them actually clam
bered on the hood. The tragedy thar
followed Is remembered by every one.
A hail of revolver bullets overwhelmed
the royal party. The king rolled to
the bottom Of the carriage dead, and
the crown prince fell across his body,
also dead. Queen Amelie bravey
sprang up and endeavored to shield
her husband and sons when the firing
began. After they had fallen she seiz-
ed her only surviving son, Manuel. in
her arms. He was wounded in the
face and arm. He drove back to the
palace king.
The full name Of the youthfu l.er
of Portugal is Manuel Maria Philippe
Carlos Amalia Luis Miguel Gonzaqua
Xavier Francisco d Assist Eugenio. He
Is handsome young fellow and devot-
ed to his MOTHER Queen Amele. by
whose counsel he has been guided in

DER private instructors. entered the
navy at fifteen as midshipman and rose
to be lieutenant.
The young king Of Portugal has
been educated almost entirely under
the direction OF his mother. Queen
Amelia. During the first ten years
OF his life he had absolutely no in
structor except the queen. When the
lad was ten the Marquis I.ictao was
appointed to teach him mathematical

break there, is 366 miles long
from north to south by an average
width Of 100 miles and contains all
area Of $4,000 square miles. 1t is a
matter Of comment among students
that Portugal, alone Of all the king
doms that formerly made up the Ibe-
rian peninsula, should maintain its in
dependence Of the all absorbing Cas-
titan. A Portuguese can leave his
country by land only by passing
through Spanish territory, which sur.
rounds him on the north and east.
Portugal's area is much less than its
neighbor; but, on the other hand, its
present colonial possessions are lar
ger. 1t has never had such wars to
fight for them as Spain had in Cuba
and the Philippines, and it has never
had trouble with Uncle Sam.
Lisbon (Lisba, as 1t is called in the
native language) is declared by a
number Of foreign writer's to be the
most beautiful city in Europe, with
the exception Of Naples and Constan-
tinople. This praise is in reference
to the approach by sea. The Portu-
guese have saying that "he who has
not seen Lisbon does not know what
beauty is" 1t is clean city, said by
some authorities to be one Of the
cleanest In all Europe. something that
cannot be said Of many Spanish
towns-hardly even of Madrid, ex.
cept right in the center Of the city.

BAILEY's START.

How the Texas atatesman Secured
His First Nomination.
Whose name is going to be at the
head Of the next Democratic presi.
Dental ticket? While. of course, it's a
little early to answer that question.
United States Senator Joseph W. Bal
ley is having quite boom in that d.
rection. and in some quarters it is con-
fdently predicted that he will be the
lucky candidate. Consequently the
Texas statesman is much in the lime
light. and some good stories are being
told Of his career. 1t is said that this
is how he got his start in politics:
"Mr. Bailey was struggling young
lawyer in the new section into which
he had moved. Time had rolled
around to nominate a Democratic can
didate for congress. The day Of the
convention had been set. 1t was con-
ceded that a certain old man in con-
gress would be given the nomination.
"Having much leisure and but little
money. he thought he would walk to
the convention. After he had been on
the road for some time farmer drove

government with having been the man
responsible for the break between the
holy see and Spain. The third is that
King Alfonso's progressivenes fear
lessness and democratic attitude have
rather appealed to Americans, and they
are taking notice on his account. Then,
too. we have felt sort Of magnaui-
nous and friendly concern in all things
done by Spain ever since the Spanish
American war.
One of the reasons for the new at
t1tude in the land Of the dons is the
growth Of the labor movement. This
cause has worked change in every
European country. and. while it has
not so profoundly affected Spain as it
has France, Germany and some Of the
smaller nations, its influence there has
been distinctly felt. Moreover, the
spirit Of modernism, the same spirit
that has been felt in Russia and even
In Turkey. is present in Spain. The
movement for separation Of church
and state, which won out in Germanic
and Anglo-Saxon nations centuries
ago. is now sweeping through the
Latin countries. Italy led the way,
France recently followed. and now
Spain is falling in line This is the
real meaning of the present Spanish
upheaval
On the crest of this progressive wave
Don Jaime flashes as piece of wreck
age. He is recrudescence, an an
achron1sm. relic Of the past, IA
royal pretender. He has about as
much chance to regain the throne of
his ancestors as the various French
pretenders have to re-establish mon
archy in France. Many things have
been at work in Europe during the
past few decades, things that have
transformed the thought of the ma
lions. Democracy, liberalism. mod
ernism, socialism. the labor cause and
a general wave of enlightenment have
touched every land and have made at
least the beginnings Of a new order.
Nevertheless If revolution were to
break out in Spain Don Jaime might
become an incident in the struggle.
provided he has enough real stamina
to project himself into the situation at
all. There are many Carlists in Spain.
and 1t is altogether possible that the
reactionaries Of all shades might be
rallied under his banner. In the
Basque provinces he is strong. but the
Basque provinces are poverty stricken

Carlisnn
AndProgress
In Spain
AHE straightest tip about the
Carlists Of Spain is that they
never can "come hack" They

~HE straightest tip about the
Carlists Of Spain is that they
never can ''come back" They
have been trying it for seven
ty-l1ve years, but with Jeffries finish
all the time. The present representa-
tive OF the Carlists is Don Jaime, and
he is trying to take advantage Of the
disagreement between the king and the
Vatican to manufacture a little side
revolution in favor Of himself. Don
jaime is too nice and proper a pre-.
tender ever to overturn dynasty. He
never gets further than pronunciamen-
to-.
It was even so with his ancestors.
One Of them did manage to pull of
some kind Of an inconsequential revo-
luton. but it never got anywhere.
That was the first Don Carlos. Since
then the pretenders have been pre-
tenders and nothing more. Even when
Spain declared herself a republic for
year and a day the Carlists were en-
tirely inefficient and let the regular
reigning house return to power when
:he republican dream was over. From
all indications 1t will be the same in
the present instance. Don Jaime will
write letters to his followers-nice,
ladylike letters they will be-but Al
fonso XIIl. will continue to be the
royal noise around old Madrid.
The present situation in Spain has
several points Of interest for Ameri-
cans aside from the fact that it is a
step in the direction OF the separation
OF church and state. One is that Cen
eral Weyler, Of Spanish reconcenrado
fame, has figured in It to some extent
az a preserver Of order. Another Is
that Cardinal Merry del Val, the man
who was charged with having handled
the Vatican end OF the Roosevelt Incl
dent is also charged by the Spanish
