Kins I,eupold'a crecr of gallantry dates back to the dayi of Cora'l'earl, that famoua adventuress whoxe adventures amused Eu rope In th middle of the last century. The women Involved since then range from la dles of his court to music hall performers. One was Clara Ward, Princess de Chlmay, thi American woman whose elopement from Brussels with the gypsy musician Klgo was a scandal ten years or so ago. She la said to have first lost caste In Belgian society through the king's indiscreet attentions to her. Then there was Mile. Cleo de Merode, the Tarlslan danneu.se who wore her hair over her ears and who made a brief visit to New York .In 1SU7. Hhe thus describes her first encounter with Uie king: "One night at the Orand opera In the ballet of L.'Afrlcan,' 1 was applauded by a tall man with a long white beard. 1 had done nothing estraordlnary. I had not danced half so welt as others. 'Unoriginal,' waa my own comment to Vasques. our ballet master, when I returned to the wings. 'Go back, quick,' said Vasquex. 'Dane again. It Is the king of the Bel gians.' I danced again. . He stood In the au-le waving his handkerchief. He kept me dancing for three quarters of an hour. How angry Vasques was! The curtain couldn't be dropped while the king applauded. Vas ques scolded me for attracting so much at tention, but waa It my faultT" The acquaintance with the king boosted Cleo at once Into fame and fortune. It would be tiresome to enumerate one half the women who shared the favor of this merry monarch. There were stories of his lying hidden In a Swiss chalet for weeks while his ministers were anxiously seeking him to consult him on affairs of state. There Is a story of a supper party which he gave In Paris to ten chorus girls of the Opera Comlque, at the close of which each girl waa presented with a diamond necklace of enormous value. There are the stcrles of his visits to London muslo balls, where ladles of the gay world conduct a btauty show In the foyers and where It Is said he supplied unlimited champagne to all rho attracted his attention. Mr. Stead dragged him Into his "Modem Minotaur" exposures In 'he Pall Mall Gazette. Per haps Leopold's fame touched Its lowest point when a notorious woman, a Mrs. Jef fries, was arraigned in a London police court on a charge of purveying young girls fo- Immoral purposes. The woman held a defiant attitude In court, maintaining that she waa a person of respectability. "Well, who will vouch for your respect ability?" asked the magistrate. - "Why. the king of the Belgians," she Impudently replied, and forthwith she waa hustled Into a back room, where the pro ceedings that led to her release with a nominal fine were conducted in strict aecrecy. These notorloua acta of gallantry were not the only scandals that gathered about Leopold's old age. Hla amaslng capacity for spending money had entangled him in more than on ugly affair. From the Bel gian people he derived an Income of I'W, 000 a year. He inherited a fortune of at least 16.000,000 from his father, yet he is accused of having virtually embexsled and dissipated th dowry of hla wife and the fortune of hla sister, the unhappy Carlotta, widow of Maximilian, once emperor of Mex ico, who has been under restraint as In sane ever since the tragedy of Queretaro In th middle 60n. The amount of this es tate Is said to have been $10,000,000. It was placed in Leopold' trusteeship, and despite efforts, legal and diplomatic, no accounting of it has ever been obtained from him. New York Sun. 4 THIS CONVICT MADE GOOD Trusty Who Han Away and Earned Enough to Mare Sister's Home. ' Countless pages of romance have been written of convict herots who redeemed themselves In their moral aspect by vicar ious suffering and secriflce to aid those who had befriended them. Benign philosophers have preached th doctrine, that there is some residual good In every man, no mat ter how deep In sin he may have fallen. An English bishop took the word of a confessed thief as against the word of a minister of state because of faith In ulti mata human goodness and he waa Justified. It is possible, and indeed In some phases of the matter customary, to become maud lin in sympathy for criminals. This, of course, Is merely an excess of sentiment that la quite aa unjustifiable as the lack of It. Out from the whirl of t'ur material life come occasionally strange atorlea of human goodrwsa In those whom aoclety has cast out. Convicts with hearts and loves and fine Impulses are by no means rare. James O. Pogue was of this class. He was a convict In the Kansas state penltentary at Lansing, where he aa sent for grand larcen)'. It appears that his only sister had mortgaged her home to provide funds for his defense. But nevertheless he was sent to prison. His conduct aa a convict was so good that he was made a trusty, an office that is something of a sinecure and Is the only thing that makes prison life endurable to some men. But he never forgot the sacrifice made for him by his sister, and when the mortKage became due he knew that the little property must bo sacrificed. James Pogue, wasn't a hero. He was a convict with years of Imprisonment before him. As a trusty he could almost enjoy these years. If he sacrificed the confl dunoe of the warden he knew that the future would be black and terrible. But there was his sister's home that was In danger beeause of his wrongdoing. After weighing all the elements of the problem James Pogue decided to make a supreme effort. He escaped from the prison and went to work. Wandering over the country, h did whatavtr his hands found to do. But always he saved and remitted regu larly all he could spare. Ha worked In coal mines, in harvest fields, In railroad section gangs. Nothing was too hard for him, and through it all he never drank liquor or spent a cent that wasn't neces sary. At last he had saved the amount needed to redeem his sister's home. In all It was a little more than 60. After that James Pogue could have gone far away and lost himself. But he didn't. He was no hero, but h knew his obligations to so ciety and he wan tired of being In con stant dread of capture. Wh-n his purpose was achieved he aguin returned to prison and to a servitude worse than he had be fore known. He could not be a trusty again. He could have no benefit for good behavior. But somehow James Pogue rises out of the muek of dishonor and claims respect. If he. Isn't a hero he did some thing that w'as almost heroic Kansas City Times. .Nests fur Ulrda.

A small boy never looks comfortable in his Kunilay clothes. You may feed your vanity by dining at an I expensive restaurant. Sermons are based upon texts; polltlcul speeches upon pretexts. . Horn times a man's wisdom is due to tha 7"poi.eM.Mon of a clever wife. L.very mother knows a lot or good rules for raising other people's children. Fortunate is the husband who Is allowed to spend a little of his own money. Kven a politician would probably be honest It he could make more money that way. There comes a moment In every man's life when he rejifets his Inability to kick himself. It costs a young man more to uneducata himself than It tost his father to educate him. After a man has flattered a woman she bcKtn to think it over and decides that h really meant it. It Is harder for a woman to pray her husband Into heaven than It is to nag him Into the other place.
