Madrid, April 16.--Three shots were fired at King Alfonso Sunday afternoon in the streets of the capital by a native of Barcelona, Rafael Sanchez Allegro, who was immediate­ ly overpowdered. This is the third time In hfs reign the king escaped be­ ing the victim of an anarchist at­ tempt against his life. King Alfonso owes his escape to his own courage, quickness and skilled horsemanship. Accompanied by his staff, he was riding along the Calle de Alcala returning from the ceremony of swearing in recruits when a man sprang from the side­ walk and seized the bridle of the king's horse with one hand, pointing a revolver with the other. The king realizing the situation, with lightning rapidity dug. his spuTS Into his horse, which reared violently. His quickness saved his life. The bullet, instead of burying itself in the king's breast, struck the horse on the neck, but so close was it that the king's left-hand glove was blackened by the powder discharge. Before the assailant was able to pull the trigger again a secret service man sprang upon him. The two men fell to the ground locked in each oth- er's arms, strugling furiously.

King Alfonso. •aMIn managed to free his revolver arm and fired two more shots in rapid succession at the king, but the officer knocked his arm aside and the bullets flew harmlessly through the air. At the sound of the first shot mem­ bers of the king's staff forced their horses on the sidewalk and made a ring around the assassin, who fought fiercely in the grip of four policemen before he was overpowered and hand­ cuffed. King Alfonso, as soon as he saw that the man had been secured, raised himself in the stirrups, turned to the crowd, gave a military • salute and shouted in a ringing voice; "Long live Spain." He then dismounted and reassured his staff, saying: "It la nothing, gen­ tlemen." Then uprose a mighty roar from the wildly enthusiastic masses, which rolled along in great waves of sound, all the way as the king rode to the palace, cool, collected and smiling. A spectator, a pensioner royal hal­ berdier, pushed forward so impetu­ ously to offer his congratulations to the monarch that he was mistaken for another assassin and arrested. He was released as soon as the mistake was discovered. A young Frenchman, who was standing beside Allegro, was also arrested, but it does not ap­ pear that he was connected with him. The crowds made a determined attempt to lynch Allegro, who was rushed Into a house and kept here un­ til an automobile ambulance escorted by mounted police transferred him to police headquarters. King Alfonso was forced to tell of What he lightly called "the incident" which caused delay to Queen Vic­ toria and the "dowager queen, Maria Christina, who were alarmed greatly» The king smilingly allayed their fears. He had hardly been back In the palace ten minutes before an immense clamor arose.

Vmuk r. MM, ' All Fools' Day. When freakish April lifts the latch all wits and wags consider themselves free to vent their nonsense upon the victims whom they would fool by their tricks. The gay Parisian calls such j'April fish;" in bonnie Scotland on that day they make merry "hunting the gowk," whilst in England and this country a man keeps a sharp lookout lest he be caught at a disadvantage by the joker who glories in his smartness If he only can make some one look ridiculous. But It Is just as well not to be too smart The boomerang haa a wicked habit of coming back. Silly as All Fools* day custom may seem to the solemn, it has an ancient ancestry. Its origin is obscure, but somewhere from the far-off times when those old Romans felt the lilt of the vernal equi­ nox, and went on the spree accord­ ingly, comes this rollick which still trills forth, its merry ditty in our streets. Deeper still, the calm, con* templative Hindu, for some reason or other, from time immemorial has gone a-fooling on the first of April. It was probably from dragee, whence all things vivacious come, that Europe got the unruly itch for turning this day into a comedy of error?.. Women Who Can Do Things. Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell be­ lieves in the women who can do things, and the other day he held up Lady Baden-Powell as an exponent of this much-desired art.

We wero living the simple life in the desert We had only on* pan, and that was < m -saucepan. • It had to do for frying our fish in the morning and also for ooillng our col- fee in. After the lady had done th* fried fish she had to get some grass roots and sand and scrub the pot out 89 that we could make our coffee in It. The lady was quite able to do it, and she did it well. She also did the wash­ ing. But," General Baden-Powell add­ ed, "I must stand up for the Scouts and the mere man--she had to fail back upon me to do the ironing" 8oda Lake In Africa.
