SALARIES OF RULERS.

Some folks are apt to think that
the president of the United States
receives an enormous salary; $751;
600 a year, with $4,000 annually
for travelling expenses and free
house rent. But when his salary is
compared to salaries received by
foreign rulers and presidents the
amount is certainly small. King
George of Great Britain, gets 3 mil
lion los thousand dollars a year,
and recently he was granted" $685.
600 a year more, because he said he
could not maintain his family on his
salary and Struck" for more. The
German emperor gets no salary;
only grant of $650,000 year. But
as king of Prussia he gets 3 million
$50 thousand dollars a year. And
he says this is certainly not enough.
The king of Italy is another mon
arch who has recently limited at the
meager salary paid him; he receives
million 200 thousand dollars a
year. The car of Russia, when
there was a car, received a salary
of million 179 thousand dollars
The salaries of all the other mon.
archs pale before this income. The
king of Spain receives only one mil
lion $50 thousand dollars a year.
The king of the Belgians gets $685.
600 year; the king of Denmark
gets S345,000; Queen Wilhelmina
receives s525,O00. The only presi-
dent of republic comparable at all
with ours is the president of France;
he receives $4,000 a year, from
which he pays his own travelling ex-
penses and entertainments. Hence,
the president of the United States
receives the smallest salary of any
ruler Of nation in the world.

old grandmother went to Palestine,
and Mollie found herself alone
amidst her family. There were
constant quarrels.
One of the girls who worked at
the same counter with Mollie had
a brother on the stage. Through
his influence both of the girls were
taken on in the chorus of musical
extravaganza. Mollie's parents OBJ
jected. But Mollie was no longer a
little girl. She was a young lady,
saleslady in department store,
and she rebelled at the harsh meth
DDS her parents used to keep her
from going on the stage. The
harsher they were, the more de-
termined was Mollie. Finally she
accepted the position without their
approval. This occasioned a break
with the family. The company was
sent on the road. Mollie wrote
home several times, but received
no reply. If they didn't want to
hear from her, she in her turn did
not want to hear from them, she
told herself.
Mollie had gradually advanced in
the world of histrionics. She had
shifted into vaudeville, and now
she was La Belle Mignon, a popular
member of the Frolic Vaudeville
circuit. Whenever and wherever
La Belle Mignon was booked to ap-
pear all seats were sold out in adj
vance. But the applause, the gilt
tering clothes, the large salary, the
press notices began to lose the
charm of novelty. She began to
long for friends. Her peregrina-
tions along the straight and mar
row path had kept her practically
without friends. She felt very lone
some. She had lain awake the
greater part of the night; she had
cried and cried, until her head
ached and her eyes burned. Then
came the note and gift.
La Belle Mignon picked up the
note from the floor and read it slow
ly. Then she hastily wrote a reply
on a pale pink correspondence
card:
Dear Roberts Thanks awful
ly for the beautiful gift. Suppose
you meet me at the Rialto after
the performance. Your black-eyed
DOLL"
Her lips formed into a straight
line of determination. She enclos-
ed the card in a pale pink envelope.
She stepped to the door to ring for
a messenger. It seemed to her that
someone was STANDING near the
