A Kinq's Umbrella.

The king Of the Belgians once left
his umbrella in a hanson when driv-
ing TO Brussels. This was returned to
his ajesty a few hours afterward by
the proud cabby, who was offered for
his honesty by King Leopold the sum
Of 100 francs. The astute jehu, how
ever, begged a great favor Of the king.
Could be have the umbrella instead of
the money? The favor was granted,
and before many days had passed the
cabman had put up the umbrella for
sale, and 1t was knocked down to some
royal enthusiast for LOO francs.
When King Leopold heard Of this he
exclaimed. "Well, I've heard OF an UNI
