While visiting In Nashville, Tenn,
my ventriloquist son and hired a car

writes a correspondent. In leaving the
city we passed a private cemetery
where the gravestones were close to
the road. and l noticed that our driver
put on speed and rolled his eyes
toward the spooky-looking plot.

of speed that nearly threw us out.
Then came another groan that seemed
to come from the seat next the driver,
and a deep voice that said: boy,
want you"
That was just before we went over
an embankment, and our driver lit run
ming in the road. It was an hour after
he disappeared in the distance before
we caught a ride back to the city.

WILLING TO GO HALF WAY
Little Jimmy's Answer to Leading
Question Distinctly in Nature Of
a Compromise.

Aunt Marie was very good. indeed,
to her f%ive-year-old nephew, James.
She gave him everything his little
Heart desired. But still she was often
inclined TO tease him and whenever
he showed resentment she leased him
still further by threatening to take
away something she had given him.
The other night she began her
usual teasing, taking for the subject
herself and her charms. "Why. jim
mic thinks Pm a WONDER" and she
turned to little James provokingly and
asked: Don't you think I'm pretty?
Don't You think I'm good?"
The little fellow was disturbed. He
wanted to tell the truth, and he also
wanted to keep auntie's favor,
Finally he found his tongue. "Well
] do fink you're pretty good" he said
truthfully.

his residence to Illinois, where he
married DIR. Martha Haywood.
His marriage with DR.. Haywood,

which they separated, she asserted.
After unsuccessful attempts to get

He then went to W~alsenburg, where
he was given the position of company

which he was to put himself out OF

1t is not generally known that the
king of Spain succeeded not his IA
ther, but his sister, the Infanta Mer-
cedes, who was, though only six years
old, queen of Spain from the death of
her father, Alfonso MI, to the birth of
the present king. Altogether she
reigned 100 days, probably the short
est reign on record. The Salic law,
which bars females from the accession
to a throne, does not operate in Spain,
and until the sex of Alfonso KITS
posthumous child was determined, the
eldest of his two daughters automat-
ically succeeded him.
