Amusing. But Somewhat Expensive
as Miss Patty Realized When
the Goat Was Through.
Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir
teenth street went to the country with
a party of friends on Memorial day.
They stopped at a farmhouse where
some ot the party are well known.
Browsing about was an old goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at a few blades
of grass, and she innocently thought
that goats were strictly vegetarians.
On the lawn in front of the porch she j
had put her handsome new peach- J
basket hat. trimmed with pretty ar
tificial roses, which she had got from
the store the night before. The gnat
saw the hat and advanced joyfully to
ward it. Miss Patty laughed. "The
old thing thinks they're real roses,
she laughed. "Won't she be fooled
when she smells them?"
Everybody sat still .to watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
The next week Miss Patty bought
another-bat. Philadelphia Times.

Prince Albert. Belgium's Crown
Prince, Is Leopold's Dearesl Po
litical Enemy.
I-en-ion. Xo band played, no royal
salute was fired, no kingly message
was sent when Albert of Belgium,
heir presumptive to the Belgian
throne, started last spring on his long
voyage through the Congo. The band
will play loudly when he returns, but
there will be discord tn its sound.
King Leopold allowed his nephew to
start without a friendly message for
the most sufficient of reasons. He had
no friendly message to send him.
. ! j
Prince Albert of Belgium.
The king knows that this journey
through the Congo bodes no good to
him. His consent to it was asked
only as a matter of form. Prince Al
bert, rich by inhertance from his
father, endowed with a revenue by the
Belgian parliament, owes little to. and
knows he will get nothing from the
king. When he returns from the Con
go he will throw off all pretense of
submitting to leading strings, follow
a policy of his own, and, inevitably,
will find himself at the head of a
party hostile to the king.
There may be no open scandal. The
prince, surrounded by the atmosphere
of the German courts, will break no
rule of etiquette. In public he will be
deferential to his sovereign. King
Leopold, most acute of men, will be.
in public, as loving to his nephew as
ever. But war there will be. with or
without scandal. Prince. Albert, while
holding aloof from politics, already
has done and said enough to show
what his policy is. It is a policy op
posite in all things to that of King
Leopold.

merly identified with the conservative
yr clerical party. Gen. Reyes adopted
some of the principles of the liberals,
which aroused the bitter enmity of
the "conservatives. His most radical
departures from the policies of his
predecessors were the separation of

dealt with.

military and diplomatic branches of
his country, one of his posts having
been minister to France. He Is a
man of wealth, with large estates in
the province of Cauca. Gen. Reyes
rendered distinguished service for his
government in the rebellions of 18S5
and 1S95.
Gen. Reyes quietly left Bogota
some time ago for Santa Marta. oa the
Atlantic seaboard, where he boarded
a steamer for Europe. At that time
it was reported that the general had
abandoned office, and It was openly
asserted that his voluntary resigna
tion from office or a revolutionary
coup was the only possible solution of
Colombia's political troubles.
