sentative Of q royal family. Spain stroye
to ignore what had gone on during ne

When the Spanish king endeavored TO
ignore the constitution several uprlsings
took place, and the constitution was re-

out In 1858 a queen of Spain was de-
posed because of misgovernment, much
as Mary Stuart Of Scotland many years
EARLIER had been dethroned. For a time
the country was without settled govern
merit of any kind. Then a son OF the
King OF Italy was established on the
Spanish throne, but presently he abdi-

In more recent times Spain has been
growing under settled government. OF
the constitutional monarchial variety its

when the French. under Napoleon. over
ran the country. It's king had left for
the great colony of Brazil. and thus We
have the first and the only instance OF
a European king ruling his people from
