In tho faco of all this, he somehow manages to remain blithesome and gay, although It Is ru mored about Madrid that the gayoty Is kept on tap by bis maJeBty for pub lic appearances. One of the young king's greatest worries Is his mother-in-law, Princess Henry ot Battcnberg, who distinctly, does not like or approvo of Alfonso. She considers him a dissipated youth, and It Is said tbat the princess would even sanction her daughtor, Queen Victoria, leaving ber royal husband.

Tho Infanta is a novelist, and naB persisted In writing things for publication that the king did not approvo of. Alfonso has threatened to cut off her allow ance of ?50,000 a year. Sho has done two things that horribly shocked the Spanish court approved in writing of divorce and woman suffrage. Now comes ono of tho worst shocks of all. It Is announced by an Ameri can author, Harvey J. O'HIgglns, who is 'editing and revising Infanta Kula lia's autobiography, that this work "gives royalty an awful wallop," and that tho Infant's "viewpoint of nobil ity and their enpera Is pretty nearly tho samo that a typical American would take." This seems to forecast tho worst, and poor King Alfonso Is waiting In trepidation to seo what terrible breech of royal etiquette his aunt has now committed. Dut tho saddest of all of King Al fonso's sad blows Is that hlo little daughter, Infanta Maria, Is to be deaf and dumb.

FIND GOLD IN Workmens' Picks Strike Nuggets Hid den by Dead Miners In an Ancient Building. Donvor, Colo. Tho moving of a building fifty years old, in Brecken rldge, resulted In workman finding a rusty coffee pot containing gold nug Gets worth more than $1,800. Tho building was being moved to tho rear of tho lot on which It stood by Honry Evans, who Intends to erect a modern brick structure on tho lot. Immediate ly aftor tho report of tho find hun dreds ot persons rushed to the scone, and, becaueo of their activity with picks and shovels, workmon will not bo needed to finish the excavation. The landmark, one of tho oldest buildings in Summit county, was built of logs. In tho oarly days it was occu pied by Edward J. Colllngwoodr'Who has since moved to Denver. Since then It has been occupied by various Individuals and firms as a store, among them being Q. B, Watson of Breckenrldgo. Eyans was advised to tear the an cient structure down, nud thus save oxponses, but, because ot sentimental reasons, he decldc.d to movo it to tho renr of tho lot and to use the spaco which It had formerly occupied for IiIh new building. The moving ot the building entailed much digging, and a forco of laborers was put to work. Ono of tho workmen unearthed tho pot, and cast tt on a pile of dirt. When It struck, tho lid flew off, and yellow gold nuggets rained over the ground. The contents were weighed and placed In a local bank. Evans says that unloss some one claims the find, tho proceeds will be devoted toward building his new store. Enthusiastic fortuno hunters crowded tho site all afternoon, and Evans, after watching them for a while, decided to dispense with tho services ot the workmen. VarlouB theories have been ad vanced to account for the treasure, the most popular ono being that of the old-timers, who declare tho gold was hidden there by high graders years back In Indiana.

Parle. From tho little villago of Magny-sur-Tille, near Dijon, there comes a story reminiscent of tho su perstition of the mlddlo ages. A tew years ago there died in this villago an old woman named FrancolBe Souvestre, who had the reputation of being able to effect mlraclous cures. Her reputation survived her and her tomb was reputed also to possess miraculous properties, which led to Its becoming a center of pilgrimage while tho dead woman was unofficially can onizod by Inhabitants of the surround ing districts. Eventually tho Bishop of DIJonwas compelled to prohibit tho cuU of this unorthodox "saint," but to no purpose, and recently tho roport was spread about that Francolso Souvestro's body had resisted decay. This led to tho fanatical believers In the "saint" de manding and obtaining authorization for the opening of the grave. Tho ex humation took place last week In the presence of two doctors, a notary and somo four hundred of the "faithful," tho last named wearing medals and rosaries. When tho coffin was opened the be Hovers were at first stupefied to behold nothing but a skeleton. But their fanaticism Immediately revived and in hundreds they descended into tho grave, mingling tho ashes of the de funct with their handkerchiefs, their crosses, their crucifixes and their med als in order to convert those Into in struments of miraculous healing, Somo, with a really macabre fervor, mixed such bodily remains as they could find in water and drank tho hor rid mixture in frenzied exaltation.

New man, a contractor, living at 3831 West Jackson boulovard, wondered why pedestrians looked so strangely at his automobile and smiled with so much amusement. Margaret, his three-year-old daugh ter, was having tho tlmo of her life. When daddy had kissed her good-by in tho morning she had crept out of her little bed and stole downstairs. While ber father was bidding the others good-by she slipped out of doors and crept into the rear of his automobile, all unnoticed. Margaret hid under the blankets un til he reached downtown and then her curiosity overcame her discretion. A little blonde, curly head peeped up and then two little baro arms reached up to the seat. In a moment the naked feet wero crossed under her Turkish wise and she was having a Joy ride through fairyland. Her father stopped on North Curtis street and was gono a long time.

"Tbpre aro three times as many girls in Salem as thero aro men, and, llko hundreds ot other Salem girls, I was unable to get a husband. Recently I came to Now York nnd consulted an astrologer who told me that If I could get the tall feather of a macaw and would wear it in my hat diylng tho day and under my pillow at night during tho ascendency of tho planet Uranus I would marry a handsome young man with plenty of money. "I heard that there were macaws at Central park and came here this morning to see If one of them wouldn't shed a feather.

"Morning 1" replied Margaret, catch ing the last word. Just then daddy came In sight His eyes popped wide open as ho caught a flash of ten pink toes diving to the depths of a great green blanket. There was a hasty explanation In excited baby talk. Mrs. Newman was standing at the telephone on the verge of 'collapse from anxiety when it rang and her husband called. "Got her into some clothes the first thing you do and then bring her right home," were the mother's orders. AH the way Margaret was dubious, but there were no spankings and only hugs and klsses when she was on her moth er's knee again.

No. 178 "West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, III., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. Four rooms, with the front and back stairs on the ground floor, and four rooms, with a good, comfortablo bathroom, on the socond floor, briefly describes the house-plan hero shown. Tho house is 24 feet G inches wide nnd 44 feet long, without measuring the porch, and can be built, under favor able conditions of the market for ma terial nnd labor, for about $2,750. A distinctive feature is tho front hall with its pretty, open, winding stair way with a closet underneath for hats and coats, and three doorwayB which give access to three different rooms an unusual feature in house construction. Of course, there are many long, winding halls that reach away back and communicate every where, but they are not economical of room. In this ense tho hall occu pies very little spaco; but thox con venience and artistic effect are much greater than in most hnlls, although others may be much moro pretentious. It is a great thing, In building, to utilize space to tho best advantage. Measure ments are arbitrary. In a given ground space, the fact must be rec ognized that the enlargement of one room means that the next one must be smaller. This hall is large enough for all practical purposes, and it leaves plenty of room for tho parlor, dining room and sitting room. The parlor is the smallest of the three, and rightly so. Parlors aro fast going out of date. Their principal use has been for weddings and funerals, and the way some of them are fur nished leaves a funeral flavor all the time. The conventional parlor is the most uncomfortable room in tho house." Tho children must be exclud ed, and the men folks aro afraid of disarranging tho chair tidies or get ting a chair an inch or two out of its proper place. The chairs usually are stiff-backed and uncomfortable, and too nice for a chair, as their principal occupation is looking prim and unln- vitlng, and their only use Is on state occasions and when ladles call to criticize and gather new matter for gossip. This, of course, means' the conventional parlor that we wero all familiar with as boys and girls, hand ed down from our grandmothers' time and still retained in somo commun ities. It does not In any way refer to tho front room in this house-plan, with its wide opening into tho sitting room, nnd Its three pleasant windows look ing out on a nicely-kept lawn through a well-proportioned porch. Tho shape and plan of this room offer themselves easily to artistic decoration. The por tiere openings, in fact, make the First Floor Plan. hall, parlor and Bitting room almost like ono big room. Another interesting feature of thlB plan Is the side entrance to the sit ting room. ThlB is the most sociable room in tho house. Taken in connec tion with tho dining room, it offers a very comfortablo proposition, the doors and windows being carefully placed for light and ventilation; and the proportions are such that tho furnlturo Is easily arranged to look right There is also a back entrance to the sitting room, opening onto tho back porch. This back porch, com municating with the main part of tho bouse, Is almost part of the sitting room in summer time. A small table of books and a sewing machine aro often found in Just such places during the warm months. It Is much bettor to read or sew in tho open air, when conditions aro favorable. If the side porch iwiAa to tho north or east, It Is suro to be comfortable In the after noon. If It faces the south, a vino traltSed up to fwnrd off the direct rays of the sun will make It almost aB com forablo. Every sldo porch should have a vine climbing to tho enyes, for ap pearance, if for nothing oIbo: but tho direction should determine whether It be a heavy, broad-leafed vine for shade", or ono of tho lighter, prettier vines for effect. Thero aro a groat many climbers that may be used for this purpose, and It Is easy to select one suitable to the climate and to the needs of tho situ ation. Every houso could bo improved by the addition of a vino somewhere, but the indiscriminate planting of any one kind of climber should be dls- Second Floor Plan. couraged. Such vines as the Dutch man's pipe are very suitable for veran das where deep shade is an object, because tho leaves are large and heavy. It is Impossible for the sun to penetrate through a healthy growth of Dutchman's pipe 'Vine 4oaves. Tho beauty of this vine is not In the blossom. The blossom Is odd, and shaped like a Dutch pipe, but it is In conspicuous. The heavy foliage Is the chief attraction. For front verandas, nothing can be prettier than the light Madeira vine, and English ivy where the winters aro not too severe. There are a great many annuals that make a quick growth for screens, but they are not well calculated for the front of the house. Vines that climb to tho roof, leaving stalks baro and a bunch of foliage at tho top, should be avoid ed on the front porch. This Is a pe culiarity of the Virginia creeper, but It may bo corrected by proper prun ing. In selecting a house-plan, the direc tion in which the house faces must bo taken into consideration. Any frontage is good if the house is built to suit.1 It Is Just as easy to select a plan with tho kitchen on one side as to have It directly in the back. The difference In comfort, extending over a number of years, will well re pay a little careful consideration on this point. There nre a great many things to consider, and this is one of the most Important, but one that often Is overlooked. By all means build a good, suitable kitchen and give the good wife a chance to enjoy her working hours. Too Enthusiastic. Congressman James P. Mahor of New York told ono which demon strates that a man can be altogether too enthusiastic In following his pro fession.

"As a matter of fact, they have got him in Jail down there." "Got him In Jail!" exclaimed the first, in a surprised voice. "You don't really mean it! What in the world was the trouble?" "It was this way," explained tho second. "He studied law and got too feloquent.
