ROMANCE FROM SPAIN
Tale in Which Sordid Lucre ConQuers
Ancient Hidalgon Pride

Atlas we exclaim when rocket goes
up. Ali Let us take our minds from
sordid affairs so that our emotions can
vibrate over a sweet romance-a romance
shining DEVOTION says the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. 1t is the romance of the Ma
harance of Kapurthala, India, who is
now touching these shores with her hus-
band, who was once, and we feel sure
still is, her lover. We pulsate raptu-
rously as we read of the substantial
proof he gave of his love, and we thrill
convulsively when the publicity agent
tells us of how dearly her father held
her.
Strange to say. this lovely Indian prin-
cess is. or was, a Spaniard-a Spanish
dancer When the Prince of India saw
her dance he Immediately fell on his
knees and besought her to change her
name from plain Anita Delgado to SON.
orous Maharanee of Kapurthala. Dear,
old dad objected to having the fine, old
Castilian strain grated on to Oriental
royalty and told little Annies glittering
suitor to vamose, which is Spanish for
decamp.
But instead OF folding his tent like an
Arab and silently sneaking back to Ka-
purthalia, what did the swart but SPAN
gled lover do? Did he murder the doting
Delgado and flee with the puchritudi-
nous daughter? No. Did he ride Off
with her like Lochinvar out Of the
east? No. Did he Romeo around her
dorner window? No. Did he strum a
plaintive guitar and induce her to elope
by the light of the moon? No. Then
what did he do?
Let the news item tell 1t in 1t own way:
THE Maharanapee of Kahpultrala. In
dia and her husband are visiting in the
United States. The maharance formerly
was Spanish dancer named Anita Del
gado. Her father objected to the atten-
ton of the Indian prince to his daugh-
ter. The maharajah overcome the pa
rental objections by giving her father

INDIANA'S STATE SEAL

"As to the design of the seal, it is
undoubtedly inexpensive of the topog-

done by an engraver in Philadelphia,
the eastern artist had very vague ideas
Of the then far west and naturally,
perhaps, connected Indiana with noun
tains and buffafoes. Neither Harrison
nor Gibson was familiar with the ter

But the old seal maker away off to
the east devised better than he knew.
The seal in itself embodied action, pic.

FOR the first time IN Its existence Bir-
sninghain is TO have Christmas tree for
ali the people. It Is to be placed In
Capitol park on spot that will command
a view Of Twentieth street looking south,
and is to be gorgeously illuminated and
decorated.
The idea Of Christmas tree for all
the people originated first in the heart
of generous woman In the big, throb-
bing city OF New York. Assisted by
friends she carried the idea to a success
ful end in that city some years ago and
since that time the story Of this tree has
grown and become known the nation
over. Many other cities have followed
the idea suggested and the tree, dispens-
ing that ever joyful message OF peace
ON earth" has been the delight of many
thousands of the people of the United
States.
No southern city had looked with favor
upon the Christmas tree for everybody
until about three weeks ago when one Of
the warm-hearted. charitable and gener-
ously inclined ladies' of Birmingham
thought of the delight such a tree would
bring to the stranger within the city;
of how much joy some poor little child.
whom Santa Claus had unwittingly slight
cd would find in viewing such a tree,
with its hundreds of multi-colored lights,
its bright tinsel, and the music and the
general air Of Christmas that would ac-
company the tree.
With this lady to think was to act.
She knew that the Elks, and the many
churches that usually have Christmas
trees, could not reach the entire popula-
ton of the city. She wanted this outside
class to feel that they, too, had a Christ
mas tree, and to make them imbibe some
OF the joyful feeling that pervades this
whole city as Christmas approaches.
She called some of her friends on the
telephone. When she had explained to
them the idea of a Christmas tree for the
people they became as enthusiastic as
she. The ladies met in the directors
room of the Chamber of Commerce for
the purpose of talking over the plans for
look after the multitudinous details ac-
companying the work. 1t was planned
TO have everything donated, if possible,
and the ladies were to solicit the dona-
tions.
committee called on the Birmirgham
Railway, Light and Power company and
was assured that that company would be
only too glad to contribute the lights. An
other committee called at the Louisville
and Nashville railroad to see II that COM
pany would contribute tree The Of
ficials were very courteous and seemed
anxious to do anything possible in fur
therance of the idea. They told the ladies
that they would let them know later
1t was found out later that the Louisville
and Nashville would contribute a huge
pine, but, as the ladies wanted a cedar
tree, they thanked the railroad men and
looked elsewhere. B. c. Rogers of Boyles
was called upon and the idea explained
TO him. Mr.. Rogers proved to be a
gentleman with the makeup of a Santa
Claus and he gladly offered a cedar tree
from his land near Boyles This tree will
be brought to Birmingham tomorrow by
the Harris Transfer company and will be
erected in Capitol park by the Builders
exchange
1t is the idea of the, decorating commit

dust" Under the many colored lights,
with the bands going at full tilt and the
several singers, this tree will be an object
of beauty and will be great aid to many
people who are away from home and who
have a longing for the Christmas trees
at home. This is the cardinal principle
of the tree-to make homesicl< stranger
feel less homesick; to make him feel that
there are persons in Birmingham who
thought enough of him to erect this tree
for his enjoyment.
The music will be furnished by the

tee to have placed at the topmost branch
of the tree huge white star. The South
ern Ad company offered to make this star
for the ladies. and it will be lighted with
white lights.
The decorations are TO be very elab-
crate. Tt is the intention of the ladies to
meet at the Young Women's Christian
association Wednesday morning at IL
o'clock and proceed in a body of Capitol
park and decorate the tree. Tinsel is to
be used freely and the whole tree will
be sprinlSled literally with diamond

or BOY Scouts there will be 20, who will
see that the tree Is not diEarranged by
any over-enthusles child.
Gifts are not to be distributed, To give
presents would make the cost too sroat
and the ladies believe that there are hun
dreds and thousands In the city who will
feel grateful for Just the lights, the music
and the spirit of the season.
