4-YEAR-OLD DUKE

BRUSSELS. Belgium. Jan. 90
Barness Vaughan dominated the life
OF Leopold H.. king OF the Belgians.

impossible that ono or both OF her
two sons. who called him father. may
yet play an important part in the his
tory or Belgium. for IL seems now
that their legitimacy has been estab-
lished. The pope has recognized that
Legitimacy In sending a message OF
coincidence.
The king and the baroness were
married by a religious ceremony,
which is said to have been conducted
in 1904 IN the private chapel OF the
royal chateau a. Laeken. a suburb or
BRUSSELS. In Belgium the law does
not know any morganatic union. A
wife is a wife. Though no other mem
ber OF the royal family may we'd with
cart the sanction OF parliament. the
monarch may marry whom he will. So
Baroness Vaughans children are d.
rect descendants Of King Leopold IL.
Already the Socialist members OF the
belgian parliament have started an
agitation In favor OF declaring her
elder son the rightful successor to the
throne. leader among those Social

the consent OF parliament.
Baroness Vaughan's elder son. TO
whom the Socialists would give the
crown, is a little more than four years
old. He was born near Nice. Nov. II,

duke of Tervueren. This boy looks
more like his mother than his father.
But his young brother, Count de Rev

two years old. Is said to bear strlk-
ing resemblance to King Leopold's
only son by Queen Henrietta. the
Count de Hainaut, who lived to be ten
years old.

was Blanche Lacroix. She was born

When King Leopold ennobled her to

OF course, everybody's baby is
the prettiest and the cutest' and
the best, but some judges over at
the Puyallup fair had the nerve
to make a list classifying babies
presented there Saturday as to
beauty and abundance of hair and
all that sort of thing. 1t was
mighty risky thing for those
judges to do, but up to date 1t is
announced all still have escaped
having their own hair pulled or
being horsewhipped. Here is what
they decided:
Prettiest baby-Thelma Coyle

force of the explosion and the
bodies buried and fearfully man

The bodies were found in the
main tunnel at point two miles

Deputies guarding the mine

Wise Judge Smell!

Wise Judge Smell!
The Tacoma jurist is back from
Europe feeling as fine as fiddle
and thanking his lucky stars that
be is "out of politics" and that he
knew enough to stay out when he
was out.
Some other fellows around
here who were not so wise are
also "out," but they do not feel
nearly as good over 1t as Judge
Smell.
Judge Smell would rather have
a fine trip to Europe than a lick
ing any day. And 1t is less ex-
pensive at that.
Last summer when the big
squash was in blossom and the
people began to look ahead to the
fall primaries it dawned on the
special interests that that fellow
Poindexter was going to make
trouble. They had two admirable
stand-pat candidates in Seattle
either one of whom would do
but how to elect one was the
problem. The tickle public SEEM
ed to be flirting with the Spokane
congressman and they saw some
thing must be done. They figured
II they could get some popular To-
cal chap in Tacoma to bottle up
the Tacoma voters that possibly
they could buy enough, bully
enough and scare enough outside
to put one of those stand-patters
in.
Couldn't Hear the Call.
So they tackled Judge Smell.
The people were calling for him
they said.
But the judge could not hear
the cry.
He Just must take 1t; they
would force 1t on him; there was
a demand all over for him; no
/ body else was in 1t at all.
But Judge Smell had heard
something about that Poindextel
chap.
Judge Smell was pleaded with,
coaxed, argued from Dan to Beer
sheba and back again and expos
i tulated with to get him in the
s race.
q And then he went to Europe.
He just picked up and said
4 goodbye and winked his eye and
s he has been having the time OF
! his life all summer.
And when that Poindexter cy-
{ clone hit Washington last month
i the judge was so tickled that he
began making arrangements to

smooth when Judge Smell came
