the Castle of Queluz while the son
had been sent into exile. But he was
allowed to return on condition that
he should marry his niece. Maria da

title Of Maria II. ..-,
Once in Lisbon. Miguel swore al

Pedro. to Maria, and to the new con-

marry Maria. Then in 1928 he seized
the reins of government and with the
aid Of his mother restored the reac

claimed the sole legitimate king.
For six years there was civil war.
The interests of Maria de Gloria were
taken charge of by England and
Spain. After the equalization of

again upon the throne. 1t was then
that MIGUEL formally renowned all

AS SILENT" Smith, the stepfather
OF Anita Stewart had become a figure
in New York back in 1899. He had
been engrossed with the affairs of
1.-The street." and had lived with ex
IRENE simplicity. almost as recluse
Hence his nickname. In 1899 he In
herited vast fortune from an &C.
centric uncle who went to sleep at
the age of ninety-one in a chair in
London and never walked again. The
Inheritance in his possession, Smith
at once began to make bids for addi-
tional social recognition.
For many years there had been a
sentimental friendship between Mrs
Stewart and Silent" Smith. Their
marriage in Scotland was not great
surprise to the well-informed
The Smiths started on a wedding
journey around the world They were
presented to the Amir Of Afghanistan
while he was In Calcutta. At Kioto.
Japan, the tour was stopped by the
death of Smith. He died suddenly
on March 27, 1907. His estate was
found to amount to. about $25 1000, 900
The widow received under the will
100000. Her daughter was given

1t is interesting in this connection
to note that another American girl
was married to a man who for years
before the marriage had borne the
title Of king Of Portugal This was
the famous singer, Elise Hensler, who
was educated in Boston. She was
in 1859 to Ferdinand, who
had been the king consort Of Maria

Tho prince was deeply in debt at
tho time of the marriage. Last De
cember it was stated in dispatches
from. Budapest that a syndicate Of
creditors was suing the prince for q
million. 1t was said that the syndi'
cate had advanced him q large sum
payable when he should have made
a rich marriage. Then last February
in Vienna large crowd in the
streets watched the transfer Of bric-a.
brac and other belongings Of the
prince from his rooms to a huge
wagon. some of his creditors having
seized his furniture. "
To cap the monetary troubles of
this scion Of the Braganzas announce
ment was published in Vienna on
February 16 last that the Austrian
courts had placed Prince MIGUEL un-
der "curatel." which puts him in a
much more humiliating position than
is that of an undischarged bankrupt
in England People are only placed
under curatel on the ground Of in
sanity or reckless extravaganza. One
Is deprived OF all his privileges as a
citizen, he is incapable of contracting
any legal obligation. not even the
mere witnessing Of n legal document,
and he is at the mercy of his curators
or judicial trustees. appointed by the
court to act as his guardians and as
the administrators of whatever prop
erty he may have left.
1t would seem, then. that the we'd
ding had not brought the American
girl any increase Of social prestige.
1t is said that no reigning house has
taken any notice of her since the
marriage.
Up to the time of this marriage the
Braganzas had sought almost always
royal alliances, even If not with reign
Ing houses. When their scions have
married into the nobility Of lower
rank it has been always in the form
Of a morganatic union. OF the family
which the present revolutionary move
ment has driven away from the cap
ital of Portugal there are two men,
bers in whom the succession would
be vested The one of course is the
young King Manuel, and the other Is
his uncle, the Duke of Oporto, who Is
unmarried. If both should die with
out issue and the republic should not
endure the people might call the
other branch of the family to the
throne in the person Of the father Of
Anita Stewards husband. and her hus-
band would then in all probability
succeed him.
But the story of the grandfather Of
Prince MIGUEL in the years of his
reign, 1928 to 1884. is not Of the sort
that might inspire confidence in his
descendants. This grandfather was
known as Miguel I. He was the
brother Of Pedro w.. who resigned
the throne with the understanding
that 1t WAS to go. after the death Of
his father, to his daughter, Maria da
Gloria He assumed the title Of Pedro
I. of Brazil. and was succeeded by
his son, Pedro H., who reigned until
the establishment of the Brazilian
republic in 1889.
AS had been her fathers wish, when
John VI died in 1896, Maria da Gloria
was proclaimed queen. But she reck-
oned without the wishes of her grand

THE OIL OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Some Advice Concerning the Virtue
Of Freely Awarding Praise Where
It Is Due.

Don't be afraid to praise people.
Charles Battell Loomis writes In
Smiths magazine. 1t Is all very we'll
to say that it hurts boy or a man
or woman to praise; there may be
those who do their best work without
encouragement, but let US remember
that nearly all of US who live on this
earth are human being. and human
beings work best when encouraged.
1t is a great mistake not to tell
people when you are satisfied with
them. II the cook sets before you
a dinner fit for king tell her SO.
Don't be too lofty to praise the Of
fee boy If his work is commendable.
Tell him SO.
1t is harder for some people to
give praise than 1t is for them to
give money. Many a generous man
is a very niggard of praise.
Do you like to be praised yourself?
Then depend upon it the other fellow
will like It
