ROYAL BLOOD.

You may think ii very strange that
claim to have blood that is royal in
my veins, when | am only Il poor
little boy. living in America. Well,
will explain it all to you.
You know that AT the coronation
Of King George many people went Owe.
from America to see the King crown
cd. Now there CHANGED to go over
n small boy who wore red sweater,
which had two small pockets in It,
There was male mosquto who.
after taking "a good look at the small
boy. lit on one of those small pockets
Here he stayed all during the trim
across the ocean. fcastinG on the

piration that came out OH account

of terrible bites that the mosquito
bestowed upon him.
At last they reached England and
then tho rcd sweater was nut away in
trunk. Here the mosquito stayed
until tho very day OF the coronation,
when tho little boy put 1t on again
and went into Westminster Abbey
There the mosquito sat or tho edge
of the pocket. and kept n sharp look
out Tor fat person that would ma ko
nice. Juicy bite. Al last he got tired
OF sitting still, so he spread his wings
and flew away. He went right to tho
Kings chair. and just before tho Arch
bishop Of Canterbury placed the crown
upon his head the mosquito bit him
n terrible one right on the forehead.
When the crown wns placed upon his
head II fell right across the mosquito
bite and almost mado the King yell.
but he kept quiet.
After the coronation tho MOSQUITO
got back on the edge OF the small red
pocket and rode back to America.
Whom the boy. Arrived in America
Inc happened to come to tho city in
which l live. lie WAS walking down
Fillmore street (thc street on which |
livc) when the mosquito, who was
asleep, fell out Of his pocket and laid
on the pavement for some time. At
last he awokc and flew straight into
my house. At night when | WAC
asleep no bit me. and this gave me
some of the royal blood that came
from the body of King George V.
How do ] know all this? Oh. that's

He said he should hesitate to introduce

Above all, he said. we should hesitate

Judge whose decision happened not to

He said the statutes OF every state In

RUFF MAY APPEAL
TO FEDERAL COURT
Judge LawIor Suspicious, and
Makes Stipulation Regard
ing Such Action.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.-That
Abraham Ruef must give notice to the
district attorney five hours before tax
ing any further legal steps looking to
the forestalling of his commitment to
Sap Quentin prison to serve fourteen
years on a charge of bribery was the
order made late today by Judge w.
p. Lawlor.
Ruef was summoned to Judge Law
Tor S court this afternoon TO explain
the rumored action of his attorneys in
preparing to carry an appeal 20 the fed
eral courts against the order commit
ting him to San Quentin. When the
former boss appeared in court he was
accompanied by Attorneys George
Keane and C.. w. Cross. In explaining
his order, Judge Lawlor submitted the
record made on March by which Ruef
was granted six days stay of judg-
ment for the purpose Of permitting the
defendant to attend to his personal
business affairs.
Judge La.wlor stated that when this
stay was granted Attorney Henry Ach,
representing Ruef, had promised that
the stay would be used only for the
stipulated purpose. Attorney Cross as.
sured the court that no action had
been taken by Ruef's attorneys toward
an appeal and keane joined him in
this assurance. On being questioned
concerning the activities of his attor-
;neys Ruef declared that they had not
prepared an appeal, but he stated that
if he had been in court when Ach
agreed TO the stipulation of the court
he would not have consented TO it. as
