individuals realize the tend

divorces. This dreadful evil

Royal Conversation Which, of Course,
Has No Reference to Affairs Of
the Present Day.

Some kings, though long aware Of
their own uselessness, were not made
uneasy until they perceived that the
world in general was getting to be
aware of 1t as well.
The more timorous among them
were for giving up at once. Lets
abdicate and go to work." suggested
these.
But the .bolder spirits were for
nothing like that. mo, let's bring
on a humping big warl" they recon-
mended.
Somebody would say such war
was wicked" ventured the timorous
kings.
Nobody would dare" the bold
kings replied. IF anybody were to
say such thing he would be in
stantly pilloried by the patriots. Why
should kings despair when there are
as many patriots as ever"
"But those extremists, who number
millions, and who vow they will not
fight against their brethren of other
lands!" the timorous kings objected.
Here the bold kings burst out
laughing. Have you lived with that
class SO long not to find out that
they are as big fools as anybody
when 1t comes to the pinch?" they
cried, with tears in their eyes.--New

FencInu or Italy.

The Italian government Is often
greatly annoyed by the smuggling OF
large amounts of contraband goods
across the Swiss border into Italy, re.
sulting In great loss of revenue.
Steps are now being taken which 1t is
hoped will stop this lawlessness.
Plans have been made to fence the
whole Of the border with heavy metal
netting and customs authorities look
upon the scheme with great favor.
This form Of barrier has been tried
along several parts of the frontier, but
1t has been found that the fence alone
is not sufficient The new fence OF
wire netting Is nine feet high and
along the top are to be fastened at
short intervals number Of bells

AL Fields Greater Minstrels.

! When the truthful press agent OF the
average show exalts 1t as bigger and
better than ever" the discriminating
dramatic editor usually does the blue
pencil act. But with the AL G.. Field
show il is safe to let it stand, for the
show makes good on that basis. That
is the secret OF Mr.. Fields success year
after year. He has the one big show
on the road which has never raised
prices, and the only one, and yet the
quality has never been allowed to de-
teriorate. On the contrary, the show is
better to-day than it was Is years ago.
And in spite OF the low price OF cotton,
plus rainy night, Mr. Field had the
same big business at the Kempner last
night that he always has.
The large audience was friendly from
the start. The beautiful stage picture
presented as the curtain rose started the
applause, and laughter and applause
were the order OF the night thence
forth. There is everything in the show
that spells success. scenery that yies
with that OF the high class musical
comedies, fine voices, funny comedians,
good songs and an excellent olios. Bert
Swor is chief fun-maker, but there are
Others, notably Joe Coffman, who made
quite hit in the first part and again
in the Panama exposition afterpiece.
Others who contributed to the hilarity
were Harry Skunk, Boni Mack, West
Alvey, Denny 0'Neil, Charles Markert
and others. Then there is a splendid
singing contingent. Jack Richards is
entitled to first mention. He has
tenor voice OF very unusually sweet
tone qualities and made the singing hit
OF the first part Herbert Wilson's
yodeling found favor, too, as did the
songs OF John Worland, Ed Hughes
and others, while the chorus was most
excellent.
The olio begins with 'Minna- Ha- Ha,''
a burlesque OF taking moyieD pic
