was assassinated at MonZa by the an- the gap immediately. When the prime minister suggested that proclama tion should be addressed to the peo- pie and gave copy to the king, Victor Emmanuel told the minister that he had already written the proclamation himself
 When the body of King Humbert was brought to Rome it was found i'm possible to dissuade Victor Emmanuel from passing through the whole city on foot and following the beloved corpse even to the tomb in the Pan theon.
 This illustrated another trait of the kings character, a desire to escape the guards who surround and protect him.
 "To get away all I have to do is to borrow a motor car," he once said. The queen and myself had splendid day out in the country by ourselves the other day I noticed that Ira Nell son Morris. the United States commits sioner of the Panama-Paciic exposi- tion. owned very good Fiat car. asked him to lend 1t to me for day, and the queen and l went out to Cas- tel Porziano and had lunch there. No body recognized us, not even the po- lice, who had a holiday
 The king and queen lead very sim pie and informal life for the most part. There is scarcely more ceremony than in the White House. The king does not spend much on his table. The Italians often complain that his wines are an injustice to the country. What he saves on his cellar the king prob ably spends on charity. for he is the leader in every good cause.
 As an illustration of his actions in an emergency an incident of the Gala brian earthquake of 1905 may be cited. When the news of this disaster ar rived, the king was holding grand ball in his castle at Racconigi. With out an instant's hesitation he flung a cloak over his uniform, hurried off to the scene of action and tirelessly helped in rescuing his hapless sub- jects. So freely did he expose himself that someone ventured to ~emonstrate with him.
 Why run these unnecessary risks?" urged the courier.
 Tt is my trade" answered the king grimly.

King Humbert placed him under a stern military tu- tor, Colonel Oslo, who put the little prince through most rigorous course He slept always in a cold room and took cold bath at daybreak. Then came frugal breakfast. Lessons fol. lowed, with special emphasis on those he disliked most. Before the morning was over the prince was in the sad. dle. No matter how bad the weather. he rode daily. Often he returned to the palace soaked to the skin from a violent rainstorm.
 lie disliked music. a predilection which he retains When he was ten years old he remarked to his piano teacher, Signora Cerasoi:
 Don't you think that 20 trumpets are more effective than that piano of yours?"
 In his military studies he made rapid progress. He submitted to all Colonel Osios harshness without a murmur
 He often relates as one of the pleas antest memories of his life, his i'm. pressions when King Humbert first entrusted to him the command of a company on foot. at the annual review of the Roman garrison.
 The excitement interfered so great ly with my power of sight" he once said, that the only people I recog- nized in the cheering crowd were my dentist and my professor of mathemat- ics"
 Then few years later he received the command of the army corps at Naples. Frivolous and light-headed Neapolitan society looked forward to worldly-minded prince and rejoiced: but it soon discovered its mistake.
 The prince. scorning pleasure, de- voted himself exclusively to his pro- fession and left his barracks only to go straight back to the Capodimonte palace, where he spent his spare time in perfecting himself in the study of military tactics.

TREES A TANGIBLE ASSET
Municipality That Desires Growth Cannot Afford to Do Without
 It's Street Ornaments.

Even if town or city cannot realize readily on the money value in it's shade trees. cannot even issue bonds against them, as it might upon it's wa ter supply. they are nevertheless a tangible asset to the municipality. The testimony of the real estate men proves that without the necessity of further argument. In less definite way the value of highway trees has been appreciated in this state for at least one hundred years. in proof of which are the superb old trees still standing along many village street. and still further evidence of an ever , tance is found in study of the stat utes enacted from time to time to en- courage roadside planting and to pro. tect the trees from willful injury. But every now and again it becomes neces- sary to call public attention to the hurly-burly of modern life. Our fore fathers were able to stick tree in the ground and let nature do the rest. Those times have passed. A hard lot has fallen to the trees, what with imported bugs" of assorted shapes and sizes to prey their life blood. and with man pushing his ingenious i'm proved pavings and trainings around their feet. and his chafing and burning wires through their tops. Happily those trees that our forbears planted were mostly possessed of good old fashioned New England constitutions. and able to withstand lot of abuse. but we may not neglect them with inn punity today. They need friends now as never before.-Allen Chamberlain in the Boston Transcript

Hip Makes Limb as Good as Ever Before.

Fond du Lac. Wis.-George Mulhol- Ian. South Byron. who was taken to the hospital six weeks ago suffering from fractured hip. will leave that institution with his limb in as good condition as 1t was before.
 In the reduction of the fracture the surgeons performed rare operation. the first of its kind in Fond du Lac county. Two tenpenny spikes. silver plated. were nailed through the hip bone to bring the broken parts to- gether. The bones have now knit and Mir. Mulhollan is able to walk about as we'll as ever before.

Plant Tubers h Collar.

Plant dahlia tubers in pots or boxes in the cellar. It gives them a start. When the shoots attain i've inches take the plants and pot them in sand and garden loam mixed and set the pots in the cold frame. They can be set out when the weather permits. Dahlias which are cut down in July will give new wood for fall blooms that far excel the summer flowers for size and beauty. Dahlias can be grown from seed to bloom the first year by starting the seed in pots and setting the young plants outside later. The single varieties are best for that pur@ pose.
