    Pathetic Alphonso Will Ascend Spain’s
Tottering' Throne Next May
mis caious country.

Is grand enough to cause you to put
aside all your lovo nonsense. If God al
lows mo to reign. I shall marry the
princess whom my subjects and my min
isters wish me to wed. even if I do not
like her, and I shall be true to her
though I may happen to love another
lady.”
Whether or not Anthony Hope intended
it, he has drawn a wonderful picture of
°f Spain in his novel, “The
King's Mirror”—the favorite child of the
author's brain, although the public never
cared so much for it as for most of his
other books. Even the details were tho
same; the stern, stately mother sacrific
ing maternal feelings to the education ini
kingly duties of the bov who was a king
when he was born; the continual repres
sion and self-sacrifice and general air of
sad solemnity; the sister who would
have been queen. and all the rest of it.
Like the king of that novel, poor little
Alphonso has been stuffed night and day
with the learning that' kings are sup
posed to need, lie reads
and writes English,
French. German and Ital
ian almost as readily as
\ ana his own language. All

' at the age of 10, when he had a regiment
of little boys to play with. Their uni
forms were correct to the last button,
and they even had a complete band.
W ith the aid of an instructor from the
army the young king drilled them until
he, at least, understood the business
thoroughly, whether they did or not, so
that now at the mature age of 15 he can
call down the most grizzled veteran of
all troops without the suspicion of a
blush.
Alphonso is distinguished as the only
bachelor king, the onlv monarch who
was torn a king and also as the young

considerable haughtiness. He is devoted

reason, for she has devoted her life to him
and gone through unpopularity, disaster
and despair for him with a spirit that

of her as "that Austrian.” but who now

time to come, although she leaves the
throne forever on May 17. Premier Sa-

And even behind him is still another fig

Not Ji Common Farmer
“Why, my daughter marry you, a com
mon clod of a farmer? Young man. you
must bo crazy,” remarked the choleric
old gentleman with the Mark i lamia
build.
We looked to see the young man in the
overalls wither up and disappear, but
instead ho smiled faintly, even haughtily,
and, jingling a bunch of loose change in
his pocket, pensively remarked:
“Mr. Vanderfeller, I planted 20 acres to
potatoes last spring and the crop was a
success.”
“What!” cried tho old man, surprise and
remorse in his tones, “20 acres of pota
toes? And 1 called you a farmer?
You're an agriculturist, sir, and I’m proud
to have you as a son in law.
Americans will he surprised to notice
how .'ittie attention has been paid here
and in' Europe to the forthcoming coro
nation \at Madrid. it is very probable
that th ? result of our war with Spain

ALE. narrow-chested, sensi
tive. little King Alphonso
XIII should he. in tho ordi
nary course of events, the
most interesting person in
Europe for the next two
months.
He comes of age on May
17. and takes the oath,
climbs into his throne and
succeeds his mother as the
first person in Spain.
Thereafter, if his health
'permits. he is going to
make his Jirst tour of the continent and
inspect the available supply of marriage
able princesses. He is only 15—in Spain
royalty “conies of age” at 10—hut affairs
of state acquire that a marriage should be
£ rranged at once.
It would be hard to imagine a more pa
thetic figure than tails gallant little king
being led iabout through the courts of
Europe that prospective bidders may get
a look at the goods. Afterwards it will
he the Spanish.premier - w ho concludes tho
arrangements.
"How much money and how much po
litical influence," he will say in effect,
"is Spain ottered for the title of queen
of one of the proudest nations on earth?”
Then the royal guardians of some three
Austrian archduchesses, one or two of
the Bourbon princesses and some of the
German princesses will point out how
depreciated in value the goods are. Af
ter due dickering the little king and some
inestimably indifferent princess will be
come engaged without having anythin:,*
particular to say about .it themselves.
It was hoped in Spain that this hit of
business could he arranged before tho
coronation festivities in. May, but the
mutterings of revolution became too loud
to permit of the royal departure frim
tho country. It was planned at one time
to make the coronation festivities rival in
splendor those of Alphonse's brother
monarch, King 'Edward ATI. at West
minster abbey a month later, but the
serious condition of the country has ap
parently caused a considerable change
in those plans.
In Spain, as \in The Netherlands, the
coronation isn’t really a coronation at
all. In Holland the polite fiction is that
the rri-ning' monarch is so lefty in dig
nity that no subject could assume the
moral stature necessary to place the
crown on the monarch's head, and thus
for the moment have a position of supe
riority. The real reason is that the
doughty Netherlands are too independent
to relish the idea cf having one of iheir
number wear a crown, the supreme sym
bol of sovereignty. For a similar reason
me kirgs and queens of Spam have never
been actually crowned since the days of
the Visigoths.
All that A'phonso will hove to do to be
come king In fact as well as in name will

the oath to support the constitution.
There will he gorgeous robes, state car-

Spanish grordees. with the ambassadors
and representatives of the other royal
families of Europe: but crowned heads
will oe conspicuous by their absence. I
saw in an American paper the other
day a page full of pictures of most of the
kings and queens of all Europe, with a
title explaining that they were among
the folk who would make the English
coronation glorious by their presence. But
not one of them all, except, perhaps, the
oid king of Denmark father of Queen
Alexandra, will be present at either coro
nation, because through some queer bit
ef etiquette, for which no reason except
tradition ran be given. It is not consid
ered good foim for one wearer of a crown
to see a fellow-monarch crowned.
Beyond the general facts given above,
no programme for the coming festivities
has been given out yet in Madrid, and
it is thought quite possi
ble that the ceremonies

Provlilonee, so say the more experienced
c-f Spanish statesmen.
On the principle of the old lady who
said she had always noticed that if she
lived through the month of May she
lived through the rest of the year, it is
possible that Alphonso. the unlucky 13th,
may survive long enough to make his
influence felt in Spain. His father, al
ways a rather weakly man. died of con
sumption at the age of 27. six months
before his only son was born. Little Al
phonso. who had therefore the rare dis
tinction of being born a king, has had a
battle from the first start with the in
herited seeds of disease. At 4 he was
seized with an illness from which no one
expected him to recover, hut his experi
ence was another Instance of the queer
fact that the sickly often can null through
sickness better than the strong.
Today lie is about as well as he ever has
been. You will find scarcely any one
in Madrid tv ho does not take it for grant
ed that lie is consumptive, but he has
not so far given any sign of serious in
disposition. After he s'o narrowly es
caped death in infancy ills mother real
ized that the only hone was to keep him
out of doors as much as possible. He
has managed somehow to get as firm a
grip of manly sports as if he were a ro
bust little English viscount. They say
he is as -much at home on a horse as an
Arizona cowboy, and that he would have
a fair chance of winning a free-for-all
swimming match in which the other boys
wouldn’t let him come in ahead because
he was a king. But his forehead is too
high and narrow, his eyes are too bright
and his nerves respond too quickly to
the stimuli of ordinary experiences.
The rich man who has lost his wealth
suffers far more than the poor man who
has always been poor, and thus it is
that little Alphonso of the unlucky XIII
Is a rr.ore than uncommonly tragic figure.
His life hangs together by a thread; his
throne hangs together bv a nail; nis
rroud old country hangs together only
by tradition. Tho vary grandeur and vast
extent of the boy’s various palaces only
emphasize the contrast between the Im
poverished Spain of today and the mag
nificence of the empire that once domi
nated all Europe, into whose coffers gold
kept tumbling from every point of the
compass, and that held tho western conti
nents in tho hollow of her hand.
Today Spain, shorn of her colonies, is
a second rate power, with a disorganized
army—some of w v roh it would like to
disband if it were not that the discharged
troops, bitter because of the loss of the
only employment they understood, would
be sure to become republicans forthwith;
with a navy that has not existed since
the overwhelming disasters of Manila
bay and Santiago: with a naval depart
ment which has cost the country just as
much since the navv ceased to exist as it
did before; with a great swarm of priests
exempt from taxation and from punish
ments for crime: with corruption in gov
ernment departments, a custom of such
long standing that the public takes it for
granted; with a political system by which
the results of a national election can be
foretold the day before the election is
held; with the great manufacturing city
of Barcelona seething with revolt and
bloodshed and anxious to join itself to
France; with the whole country grum
bling and growling with discontent and
yet having no idea of how the situation
can be relieveol.
Is it any wonder that the king is a sad
little figure of a man and that at the
back of the coronation festivities hangs
a black curtain.
So far as I can gather, Alphonso is
really popular and beloved in Spain, in
spite of the fact that the republican
party seems to be growing steadily I
am told that as long as the little king
lives the monarchy is fairly safe. But
after that—the deluge. It is an odd fact
that the king heir was his nominal pred
ecessor to the throne—his elder sister,
the princess of the Asturias. Until he
was born she was queen, and if he dies
without issue she becomes queen again,
which would make as pretty a row as
Spain has seen in this century, judging
by present signs.

and joys, and her own desires and wishes
for the good of others, and only think

She is the Vigilant, whose eyes must

the haven. What great things may not a
crowned and anointed Priestess accom

ing curses into blessings, if the land be
neath her sway be a consecrated temple
of Truth ahd Justice!
Every woman may be a Priestess if she
but keep the altar-flame within her own
breast pure and unsullied—undimmed by
vain frivolity or grinding cares.
Priestesses we all are by virtue of the
warmth of our beating hearts, by the
blessings on our lips, by the light of our
watchful eyes, by the work our hands
perform.
Every woman who thinks of others
rather than herself is a Priestess in the
truest sense of the word.
Priestesses are all those who help and
succor the afflicted, and lead the erring
back to God.
And if we women have much to suffer
in this, our earthly pilgrimage, such suf
fering does but strengthen and make us
fitter for our task.
‘ The Artist is a true Priestess, whether
she work with pen or pencil—whether it
be with her own voice, or some instru
ment that she stirs men's souls with,
awakening in them noble thoughts, and
rousing them to heroic deeds. Here is a
glorious mission, the more so because

it must be fed with the purest fuel, with

his mother lost the halo of true and pure
womanhood—he despaired even of him

who should have been to him the ideal
of all perfection. No Priestess is thye
like the Mother; but also no such bitter
disillusion to a mortal mind as to see
the statue fall from its pedestal and
shiver into fragments, no keener torture
than to behold the mantle which con
cealed her true nature drawn aside, and
all its falsehood, its hollowness and in
sincerity exposed to view.
Our lot is never a hard one, and If at
times it seem so to our failing courage,
it Is simply that we have failed to pene

read the mystery aright, ever dare mur

is but the proof of our high vocation?

A group of senators gathered in Sena

in a pastime which is a delight to the
Illinois statesman—impromptu story tell
ing. One of the yarns concerned Senator
Bailey, of Texas, and was to tho effect
that while the Texan was a member of
the house he attended a mass meeting
in his district. During the meeting he
constantly referred to Jacob T. Patrick,
a prominent republican from Kentucky,
as ’‘judge.” This Incensed Mr. Patrick,
who finally arose and said:
“I am not a judge. I never was, and
more than that I have no title. I am
plain Jake Patrick, the only strictly pri
vate citizen in the entire commonwealth
of Kentucky. I am not even a ‘mis
ter.
“Well, sir,” replied Mr. Bailey, “you
are unique. I should think that you
would be at least a ‘colonel.> i have
always understood that in Kentucky it is
the easiest and cheapest thing in the
world to be a colonel.”
"There Is something In that.” replied
Mr. Patrick. "It Is almost as easy and
cheap to be a colonel In Kentucky as to be
a congressman in Texas.
The laugh was on Senator Bailey and
the crowd was refreshed at his expense.

self the most favored personage In the
room. Suddenly his fair companion ex
hibited signs of nervousness. Two of
his very best jokes, saved for a special
occasion, passed by unnoticed. Her face
wore a look of alarm. Apprehensively
the young man gazed at her, and meet
ing the look, she said;
“I am In misery.”
"In misery?” echoed the man.
“Yes,” she replied. “I was vaccinated
the other day, and it has taken beauti
fully. I could almost scream, it hurts
so.”
The young man looked at the beautiful
arms and seeing no mark there, said:
“Why, where were you vaccinated?”
“In Boston.” she replied, the smile
chasing away the look of pain.
Some one has started the srory that the
wide popularity of the Russian novelist.
Gorky, in his own country, is due to his
possession of an iron ring recently given
him by Tolstoi. According to the Russian
legend, the ring has wonderful literary
properties and has passed down from one
great Russian writer to another for cen
turies. Turgenieff, when dying, it is
claimed, passed the wonderful ring to Tol
stoi, and not long ago Tolstoi, feeling his
end to be near, sent the ring to Gorky.
