TAUGHT BY THE KING.
A Lesson Given by Frederick William
III. to His Steward.

4 Lesson Given by Frederick William
III. to His Steward.
King Frederick William III. of Prus-
STA was man of few words. What
ever he had to say was always brief
and to the point, as the following anec.
dote from a foreign journal shows:
The king, WIG was accustomed 20
interest himself in all the details of
court management, ordered his stew
ard to take special pains TO see that all
the carriages were amply supplied
with food and drink whenever they
left for a journey Of day or so, but
it sometimes happened that the stew
ard dispatched the drivers without any
food, giving them a coin, perhaps, to
buy what they wanted. That usually
meant that the driver went hungry, as
he did not have much opportunity to
leave his horses and dine at restau-
rant.
At length the king became aware of
his stewards failure to carry out his
orders and awaited the next opportu-
nifty to bring the fact to his attention.
He had not long to wait. That night
the king stopped his coachman as he
entered the courtyard ana upon inquiry
found that the man had had nothing to
eat since breakfast. He held out a
dollar in his hand that the steward had
given him to buy food with. Without
word the king took the dollar.
He went into the castle and sum-
moned the steward That worthy ap-
peared Immediately. and made a pro-
found bow, but as he raised himself up
he was surprised to feel coin placed
against his mouth.
"Eat it," ordered the king.
But, your majesty, r.
Eat it!' the king again roared.
"Why, your majesty, 1 can't eat it?'
"Oh, you can't? But you expected
the coachman to! Well, in the future
just remember that-that people eat
food, not money. Do you understand?''
The steward understood. In the fu-
ture the kings coachmen were amply
supplied with provisions whenever they
went upon journey. =.

By c. p. Henderson
General Sales Manager, Cole Motor
Car Company.
With the approaching close of the
present motor car season, the world
is witnessing the complete fulfillment
of one of the most startling prophe-
sizes ever made in the automobile in
dustry-that within a year the multi
pie cylinder car would be pre- eminent
in the medium and. high-priced class
Records which are being compiled
with references to the past seasons
production indicate that with the close
of the year, approximately $50 of the
cars sold in this country for $3.50 OF
more, are of the multiple cylinder
type. And better yet, these very cars
are setting a new standard for efic-
fency, economy, speed and comfort
that was never before realized.

LITTLE ANDORRA.
The Tiny Republic That NestIes In
Nook In the Pyrenees.

The Tiny Republic That Nestles In a
Nook In the Pyrenees.
Andorra is a republic of IT'S square
miles situated in the valley OF the
same name in the Eastern Pyrenees.
It forms an irregular little square plug
between France and Spain and is a
hotbeds for smagglers plying Between
the two countries. It leads a semi-in-
dependent existence under the protec-
ton of France and the Bishop of Urgel,
Spain. Charlemagne declared it indie
pendent in return for its services
against the MoorS.
In 1878 it was transferred to the
Comte de Folk and the Bishopric Of
Urgel. During the French revolution
relations between it and France were
interrupted, on account of the refusal
of France to accept the annual tribute,
which was considered incompatible
with Republican form of government
In 1906, however, the former relations
were renewed, and free importation of
cereals, made necessary by the limited
area of Andorra, was allowed by
France in return for an annual tribute
of $50 francs.
Andorra is governed by a council OF
twenty-four members chosen for four
years by the heads OF the communities.
The revenue is derived from lands and
a few taxes. The manner Of life is
very simple. Every ablebOdied male is
liable to military service between the
ages of sixteen and sixty. The capital

tants. The total population is about
