SPAIN AND GIBRALTAR D “Learn One Thing Every Day.” No. 3. ALCAZAR AT SEVILLE Copyright, 1913, by The Mentor Assoclation, Inc. Tranquilly amid its gardens that glow with roses and orange blossoms the Alcazar of Seviile, palace of the old Castilian kings, stands now as it stood in the days of the Moors. Here and there a ceiling, a stairway, or a colonnade, damaged by fire or earthquake, has been repaired ac- cording to architectural ideas of more modern times; but in the main those Moorish kings who built it could sleep, if they were there today, in their own rooms undisturbed by any feeling of strangeness. The site on which the Alcazar was built is probably the oldest in Seville. The palace replaces an old Gothic castle, which had been erected on the foundation of a Roman villa. Un- certain traditions and the imagina- tion of historical writers have pictur- ed the houses of shepherd on' thef same spot before history began. There are many stories about the Alcazar, both true and fabulous. The Court of Maidens took its name from one of these. It was told how a trib- ute of a hundred maidens paid to the Mohammedan ruler had been lodged | in that part of the Alcazer. History does not show that the calif ever asked for such a tribute, and it is probable that the Court of Maidens had not been built at the time when| this incident is supposed to have tak- et S e e S T ] *|replied more accurately, en place. Nevertheless, such a story has grown up, and given to the room a name that it will doubtless bear for all time. - After Castile had thrown off Moor- ish rule Seville was made the capital of Spain. For severa lcenturies Chris- tian kings lived in the Alcazar, ad- ding somewhat to the original struc- ture as the Moors had left it. The name of Pedro is more closely con- nected than any other Spanish rul- er with the history and fiction of the building. "He was called Pedro the Cruel. A grim sense of humor and a eville in disguise have made him the subject of many odd tales and rumors. Some of these stories are merely whimsical. He is said to have met four candidates for a judge’s position besides a pool in the gardens where they had gone'to find him. Pedro, turning to the first, asked him what was floating in the pool. “An orange,” replied the candidate without hesitation. The second and third gave him the same answer. The fourth fished out the piece of fruit with his staff, examined it, and “Half an orange."” Pedro immediately gave him the appointment. GRAND THEATRE OPENS Manager C. J.

ARMY OF 100,000 BEADY (N IRELAND Will Take the Field Should Home Rule Become Law. Belfast, Ireland, Sept. 17.—-Sir Ed ward Carson, leader of the Irish Unionists, has landed in Ireland. The object of his visit, it was said, was tc inspect a volunteer army which it being raised in Ulster to support the provisional government which is tc be brought into existence in-case the home rule bill becomes law. : The Ulster army is said to be thor- oughly organized and to have attained a strength of about 100,000 men: This number its leaders expect to double when recruiting has been completed. Sir Edward intends to spend a week in Ulster. With several lieutenants he will visit the various corps which have been formed by drilled men of the Unionist clubs and Orange lodges. The climax of Sir Edward's visit ‘will come on Saturday, when he has arranged to inspect the Belfast Union- ist corps. & In the course of the week a number of private meetings of the Ulster Unionist council will take place to complete arrangements for the pro- visional government, which it is the purpose eventually to establish. Ther: seems to be little hope of a general conference between the various parties on the question of home rule, of Mexican independence and to whom it should be addressed. Some officials were of the opinion that such a message would be in a measure a recognition “of the Huerta govern- ment. 3 The White House had - recovered from its summer renovation, the win- ter decorations were in place and blazing hearth fires greeted the presi- dent.
