BAD COUNTRY FOR KINGS
Many Rulers of Poland Compelled to

ously Deposed.

Poland has not been very kind to
it's kings in the past. Henry Of Valois,
4 worthless man who was elected to
the throne by the diet, fled, after a
reign of five months, in a most ludi-
crous fashion; Michael Wieniowiecki,
son of famous general, weak and
insignificant man, who was elected
king against his will, "died suddenly"
one Augustus was deposed; his sue
cessor, Stanislaus LeszcZynski, was
compelled to leave the country; Lads
laus had to resign and so had the last
king, Stanislaus.
When the time came for Sigismund
II to take the crown, trouble arose
from his marriage. He had secretly
eSpoused, us widower, a widow Of
the great house of Radziwill, and the
mobiles required the union to be an
nuled because they thought the coun
try would gain more by foreign alli-
ance. Sigsmund carried his point, and
his wife was crowned queen, but she
died soon afterward, not without sus-
picions of having been poisoned by her
mother-in-law.

AYE, that l dae," answered the

dollar he paid fur yer ticket, and that'll
show him up in front O his landlady."
SO, after Maggie had filled the ach-
ing void, she donned her bonnet and
shawl, and set off for Macpherson's
lodgings.
If Macpherson is in, tell him l wad

the landlady, who answered her knock.

A medical man in a communication
to a newspaper of New York city ad-
vances the theory that q considerable
number of cases diagnosed as infan-
tile paralysis may be due to the eat
ing of spoiled food and are merely
cases of ptomaine poisoning. This,
Of course, applies only to the con
gested districts of the great city. 1t
is stated that several cases Of Illness
occurring in the East side of the city
reported as ptomaine poisoning were
found on investigation by health com
mission authorities TO be due to the
eating of "sour grass" soup. Sour grass
is species of sOrrel which is rich in
the poison known as oX;llic acid. This
soup is said to be Il common dish in
some of the East side restaurants
Chemical analysis of the finished SOUP
showed about ten grains Of oxalic acid
to the pint. The sorrel grows in
abundance through the Atlantic States
and the middle West. 1t. has Il dainty
little yellow flower and its shamrork-
