The income tax, aptly says the
Washington Pont, is said to lie in
quisitorial in its nature. When the
assessor comes around to fix the value
of your piano, furniture, jewels, notes
and investments in stocks and bonds,
the performance does notjpartake of
the nature of an inquisition. Tbo
incentive for men to commit perjury,
however, is as about as great as in
tne case of an income.
A Child Queen.
1 am sure you will like the story I
am about to tell you, of a little French
Princess who was married and crown
ed Queen of England when only eight
years old and who become a widow
at twelve.
This child sovereign was born
many hundred years ago—in 1387 -
at the Palace of the Louver, in Paris,
of whose noble picture gallery I am
sure you all have beard. She wa-
the daughter of poor King Charles
VI., whose misfortunes made him
insane, and tor whose amusement
playing cards were invented, and df
his Queen, Isabeau of Bavaria, a
beautiful but very wicked woman.
Little Princess Isabella was the eldest
of twelve children. She inherited
her mother’s beauty and was pelted
l»y her pare ,ts and the entire c urt
of F ranee.
King Richard II., of England, who
was a widower about thirty years
old, was urged to marry again ; and,
instead of selecting a wife near his
own age, his ehoiee fell upon little
Princess Isabella.
“ She is much too young,” iie was
told—“ Even in five or six years she
will not be old enough to be married.”
The King, however, thought this
objection too t rifting to stand in the
way of marriage, and saying, “ The
lady’s age is a fault that every day
will remedy,” he sent a magnificent
Embassy to the Court of France,
headed by the Archbishop of Dublin,
and consisting of earls, marshals,
knights and squires of honor uncoun
ted, with attendants to tho number
of five hundred. *■*■*»
When the embassy reached Payis,
and the otter of mar iage had been
formally accept e.l, tip* avclibi>h>>p
and the earls asked to see the little
Princess who was soon to become
their Queen.
At first tiie French Council rclu-ed,
sayi' g so young a child was not, pro
pared to anpear on public occasion?, I
and they could not tel! bow she might
behave. The English noblemen were
so sol citrons, however, th'ftt' iJt Iasi
she was brought before them! The
ear! marshal immediately knelt before
her, and sai 1 in old ' fashion lan
guage of tlie lime:
“ Madam, if it phase God, yon
shall be our lady and Queen.’’ • *
Queen Isabella, stood, a lit lb-' dis
tance, curious and anxious no doubt >
to know how her |ijilo dapghtei
would aiisw.crthis formal address. To
her great pleasure, and the^groai
. * . . Jinir
surprise of all pre.^ ni, Princes i-V:
bdla replied :
“ Sir, if it please (4ml aim my
farther that I lie Queen of England,
I shall be well plea-ed, for I am told
I shall then be a great lady.”
Then, ir'ving the marshal her tiny
hand to kiss, she hade him rise from
uis knees, and leading him to her
mother, she presented him to her
with the ease and grace of a mature
ivoman.
According to the fashion of the
time, Princess I-abclla was immedi
ately married hv proxy, and received
the title of Queen of England.
Froissart, a celebrated historian
living at that epoch, says; “It was
very pretty to see her, young as she
\vas. practicing how to act the
Queen.”
In a few days King Richard arrived
from England with a gay anti nu
merous retinue of titled ladies to
attend his little bride. After many
grand festivities they were married
and were taken in state to England,
where the Baby Queen was crowned
iu the fan.ous Westminster Abbey.
