The King Who Learned To Stoop.

King Albert of Belgium, most ex-
emplary, admirable and democratic of
monarchs, succeeded an uncle. King
Leopold, to whom no one of those
adjectives could be applied. The old
king WIS clever, witty, court'y " hen
he was not insolent,-and possessed of
a foxy kind of ability quite without
scruples. He was selfish self-indul-
gent, quarrelsome ana always at ODDS
with his family. He was also SOW
ereign of the old regime and aristocratis
TO his finger tips.
M. Xavier Pao,i, tine secret-service
man, who died short time ago, re-
lated two Characteristic anecdotes of
King Leopold. During visit to
France, his intelligence and wide
knowledge Of political problems so i'm
pressed French deputy of extreme
radical convictions that the deputy fell
quite under the spell. He was even
moved to pay the royal visitor a COM
pliment.
"Sir," the Frenchman told him, 81
do not hold with monarchies and kings
Nevertheless ! recognize your great
superiority, and admit that you would
make an admirable president Of re-
public"
"Really?" replied the king, putting
on an air of simple righteousness.
"Do you know, think shall pay a
compliment in your style to my physi-
clan, DR.. Thirier. shall say 'Thirier,
you are an intelligent map, and
think you would nike great veterinary
surgeon"
Leopold was of type of mind to be-
!ieve not only in monarchy bur in
autocracy. His country possessed a
constitution which he was too wise to
disregard; but he managed to get his
own way in most matters. AS for his
ministers, "They are often idiots" he
told M. Paoli, "but they can afford the
luxury; they have only to do as | tell
them"

those despised gentlemon was reading
report to him in the presence of the
heir presumptive, now King Albert,
when a sudden gust of wind sent a
bundle of papers on the desk flying
over the floor. The minister started
forward to gather them up, but the
king caught his sleeve and then, turn
ing to his nephew said shortly, "Pick
them up Yourself"
Willingly enough the prince COM
piled, but the minister attempted pro-
test.
Leave him alone" commented
Leopold dryly in whisper. "a future
constitutional sovereign must learn
to stoop"
Albert, King OF the Belgians has nev-
er felt that he stopped in regarding
the constitution of his country and the
will of his people. Indeed, he once
lamented that he could not be elected
by his people like president, for ther
he would know il they really wanted
him. That was before the war. He
knows now; and the world knows, too
And however readily he may once have
stopped to gather scattered papers, the
world knows that when a certain ia.
nous "scrap of paper" was torn and
tossed and blown upon the winds oil
destiny he did not stoop. He stood
up then, facing wreck and ruin fol
honor's sake, "every inch king"-and
man.

OUR DAILY AIR RATION

Each of us uses more than thirty
pounds of air every day. A man may
live well on three pounds of solid.
and four or five pounds of liquid
fod, but the air be breaths weighs
four times as much as his food anu
drink together.
In breathing, the average human
draws thirty cubic inches OF air into
the lungs. Assuming that we take
fifteen breaths minute during the
twenty-four hours Of the day, we use
no less than 648,O00 inches of air,
which would weigh more than thirty
pounds. It would fill 1,125 two-gal-
lon tins. and a years supply would
have a weight of more than five tons.
A small room in which gas stove
or fire is lighted soon becomes
"stuffy" because the air is is so rap
idly consumed quite small fire VIII
use up in an hour more than man
breathes in a whole day.

N ECENTLY at silver wedding
IN anniversary Of a prominent New
Yorker the invitations, which were
engraved in silver, contained these
words at one side: "The demands OF
war relief are pressing. We hope for
your presence-not presents-at our
silver wedding anniversary Among
the guests present at this anniversary
reception were scores of New York S
most noted society folk, the very
people whom we usually look to for
leadership in such matters OF social
usage. SO if you are looking for a
precedent in adding to your invita-
tions for anniversary receptions or
other occasions when presents might
be expected some Indication OF the
fact that you would prefer not to
have them, here it is.
The fact is that often people re-
frain from having wedding anniver-
sary parties for the simple reason
that they hesitate to send invitations
that will make the recipients feel that
they are obliged to make some sort
of present. When this is for tin
or wooden wedding the obligation is
trif1ing, but when it is for silver
or golden wedding then there is more
cause for this hesitancy.
Usually any anniversary for any,
thing less than silver wedding takes

of his poultry until he could carry it
to his home.
AS l told you, this happened long
before Mr.. Fox was clever; he would
lot do such thing now.
So he called on Mr.. Possum and
told him if he would take care of the
chickens he would give him two fine
ones to pay for his kindness.
Mr.. Postum said he would and that
he would store them safely away un-
der a rock by his house where there
was cave.
Mr.. Fox trotted back and forth all
night with fat chickens which he put
in the cave under the rock, but he did
not know that as fast as he put them
away Mr.. Postum carried them TO an
other part of the woods.
When it was almost daylight Mr.
Postum took another chicken and de-
parted for good, and when Mr.. Fox
looked into the cave he found only a
few of the many chickens he had
placed there.
Mr.. Postum was nowhere to be
found. He had moved bag and bag.
gage to another home, but Mr.. Fox
hunted until he found him, and the
trouble began.
Mr.. Postum said he was not the
same Mr.. Postum. ~ never lived in
the place you speak of, and | do not
know about any rock or cave or chick
ems; you have the wrong fellow, Mr.
Fox" he said.
Mr.. Fox was surprised at the bold
manner of Mr.. Postum, for he was
sure he was the one he was looking
for. still there was chance that he
had made mistake.
Right here is where Mr.. Owl earned

near by where Mr. Postum had made
his new home and heard all that had
been said.
Perhaps you are mistaken, Mr..
Fox" he said; you had better so
back to the cave under the tree and
look again."
1t is under a rock, not a tree" cor
rected Mr.. Postum, who had just said
he did not know anything about the
cave or rock.
"Oh, no" exclaimed Wise Mr. Owl
you do know something about it,
after ALL"
Mr.. Fox, go right in and search
this fellows hOme and If he makes
any trouble about 1t l will call all
the wood folk and tell them what a
deceitful fellow he is
"Oh, how wise you are, Mr.. Owl =
said Mr.. Fox as he came out of Mr.,
Possum's house with his chickens
s'you are the wisest bird / ever knew,
and wise you shall be called from this
day."
And when there is any dispute
among the wood folk now they always
call on Mr. Owl to settle If for Mr..
Fox told everybody how clever and
wise was Mr.. Owl in finding out about
his chickens, though he was careful
not to tell who had them.

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

the form of party only for ones inti-
mate friends. But when one has been
married twenty-five years then there
is real occasion for a large reception.
This may he in the afternoon or eve
ming. For the afternoon affair the hours
on the invitation cards would usually
be from three to six, though guests
seldom do arrive before half past three
or four and many late corners Hnger
after the six o'clock hour No guest
however, would arrive after the last
hour mentioned on the card.
Bear in mind, however, If you are
sending an anniversary present that
although wedding present is sent
to the bride, the anniversary present
is sent to both husband and wife.
The question of whether or not to
wear ones first wedding frock is one
that puzzles some women when plan
ming their twenty-fifth anniversary, and
really it ought not to be very difficult
to solve There is the best of prece-
dent for the custom but when the
bride of twenty-five years has changed
very much in form the wedding dress
may be extremely unbecoming to her
or 1t may need very considerable
alteration to make it possible to wear.
The effect then is not apt to be pleas
ing, and the woman so dressed may
look very much less attractive than If
she were dressed in a reception frock
less rich in association. Under no con-
dition should she wear the bridal
VEIL however, as this is alone appro-
pirate to the maiden bride.
