"King Alphonso," he began, "is fond of taking motor trips incog. He motored recently through a wild region of Castile. He put up with his modest en tourage at a more than modest inn. "1 am sure," he said, laughing "that they won't know me here!" "Well, they did not know him there. They treated him like an ordinary traveler. So much so, in fact, that when he went to shave the next morning, he found there was no mirror in his room. So he went down into the inn-yard in his shirt-sleeves, and there a pretty chambermaid brought him a broken piece of mirror, w hich he set up beside the well, and proceeded to lather cheeks and chill. The girl stood chatting with him, finally she said in an odd voice: "You ar! not just an ordinary house traveler, are you'.'" "Why do you asked me that?" laughed the king. "1 don't know." said the' maid. Tint there's something about you - perhaps you belong to the roy al court at Madrid?" "Yes, I do," he answered. 'T'erhaps you work for his majesty himself'.'" "Yes, I do." "And what do you do for him? asked the pretty chamliermaid. "Ob, lots of things," the king replied. "I'm shaving him just now." New Orleans States. Choral Repartee.

A Retrogressive Convention The recent Democratic Conven tion at Raleigh seems to have been recreant to its duty and the wishes of the majority of the Democrats of the State. The convention cheerfully turned down practically all of the recommendations made to it by the mass meeting of lamented memory held in Raleigh on last April. The professional poli ticians, the placemen and rinjrstprfi Hcnrd ftnothnr triumph, - and the people lose. About the only measure re commended to the legislature which had any progressive tendency at all was a recommend ation for a Statewide primary law. But even this recommend ation was not passed before it had been carefully emasculated. The seers and sages in conven tion assembled did not deem the people of North Carolina capable of nominating all their officers, so they cut out the primaries in the case of county officers. The Greensboro Daily News commenting editorially on the convention says: ' 'One recognizes Glady's mother was entertain ing visitors, when suddenly the jail heard, but I'll tell it to illus l trate mv uoint.
