told to illustrate the discipline ano
self control of the famous Gardiner
policemen who mad their origin in
! Piedmont and about whom so much
has been said during the Camorris1
trial.
The other day company Of them
was drawn up outside the railway
station for the arrival of royal prince
The prince appeared in the doorway
of the station and all hands were
raised in salute when Gardiner
felt little tug at his pocket. He felt
another strong pull and remember
ed with anguish that that all his pay
| and boarded wealth was in a purse
! in his trousers pocket which was
Being insidiously attacked, having
! been exposed by the raising OF his
arm What should he do? The foreign
, prince was just opposite, and to put
down his hand and not salute was un'
| thnkable, out at the same time could
flesh and blood and an officer OF the
| law too, deliberately allow himself
to be robbed and ruined? His desper-
ate state Of mind was shown in the
! trembling of that hand. which, how
! ever stayed glued to his forehead
while the precious purse was slowly
and surely abstrasted. At last the
agonizing moment came when he felt
that Re pulling had stopped and knew
/ that the thief had made off.
Fortunately the thelf had taken
some time, as tire thief evidently was
not very bold and just as he got the
coveted prize in his hand, the captain
Of the Carabineers turned to give an
order, the saluting being over, and
saw what had happened. The order
for pursuit was given and the Carabl.

was the one who caught his thief
and recovered his property intact
1t is, net generally known that the
civil list of the King of Italy is larger
than that of almost any other Sover-
eign as it amounts to over $3,OOO,OOO
year However. this does not mean
that Victor Emanuel can dispose OF
mere money than some other Europ-
can potentates. 1t must be remem'
bered that he has inherited the pos
sessions of all seven states in which
Italv was divided before the middle
of the last century. and that many OF
these properties such as historic pal
aces and gorgeous villas not only are
not productive of anything, but repre-
sent burden on the budget OF the
Royal House.
Now and then question of reduc-
ing the civil list comes up, but con-
trary to what takes place in other
countries the King himself is favor
able to the reduction, on condition
that he foe relieved CT large number
of royal parks and palaces which ne
never uses and which absorb about
two-thirds of the civil list for their
maintenance. This point reached,
generally the question goes no further
az, if the property, which the King
would be ready to give up were taken
over by the states, there would be no
saving in the expenditure, which in
fact, as everything managed by the
Government, might come to cost more
while it is out Of the question to lose
such national treasures, although In
the past there have been offers made
for them from private persons, IN
Guiding the Rothscf lid family.
The King and Queen and there
young people have gathered in their
F.edmontese castle of Racconigi. only
twenty miles from Turin, to spend
the summer quietly after the recent
mourning. The castle which once, to-
gether with Montcalieri where Prin-
cess Clothilde died,and Stuping1,
where Queen Maria Pia breathed her
last, was one of the strongholds OF
Piedmont, is now surrounded by
peaceful village of 10000 inhabitants,
and contains very sad relics for the
Italian royal family, as in one corner
of the edifice there are gathered the
furniture of the bedroom in which
King Charles Albert, the king who
granted the Constitution in 184S, died
in voluntary exile at Oporto, Portugal,
and the furniture of the bedroom
occupied by King Humbert just be-
fore he was shot by the arnlch1st
Brescia at MOnZa.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IucSc "CIdACuOIS
mementos, the life of the Sovereigns
and royal children there is reported
to be very gay in it's simplicity. The
little ones run about the park bare
footed and bareheaded, while the king
lays aside his generals uniform which
he wears all the year at Rome and
spends hours fishing and motoring in
the company of his family and the
Queen has at last the possibility OF
gratifying her tastes for shooting and
painting.
Princess Yolander is the life OF this
happy family. One day, asked if she
was Mammals or Papa's girl. she re-
piled, II am Mammals girl in body
(she is the image of her mother)-so
must necessarily, be Papas girl in
spirit"
