The man has all the earmarks of a Texas rancher, from the battered old sombrero to the butternut pants. He wears neither coat or vest, nor suspenders, and carries very little flesh. The mayor looked at the card with some Interest, because of the Texas postmark, but could not recognize the man &s anyone he knew. Finally he desciphered some very small writing on one side and found the man in the picture is his brother. “I haven't seen him for almost thirty years,” s1ld Mayor Jim, and here he re- calls an Incident that happened when we were boys. I had ordered made a palr of fancy high-heeled boots, which turned out to be a trifle small. We wanted to hike to town, four or five miles, and 1 got this lad to wear the boots, to stretch them. Ife suffered so that he hasn't forgotten that trip to this day. Without the writing I wouldn't have known him for my brother, though, for you wi'l note he is more than ordinarily tall, and quite a handsome man, with plenty of hair.” {HING ALBERT I 0N THRONE (Continued from Page One.)

He outlined a program of humanity and progress and was greéted with a storm of applause as he declared probably that Belglum had always kept its projnises and no one had a right tp doubt its word. Later in the day the king recelved the addresses of Parllament. Intimates of the king Informed the Assoclated Press today that the new monarch- proposed to apply himself with all the resources at his qom- mand to the solution of the Congo situa- tion and the development of that depend- ency. It is his great ambition to justity in the eyes of the world the sovereinty of Belglum over the Congo. Speech from Throue, King Albert's speech from the throne l,was an eloquent tribute to Leopold I, and to his uncle, the late King Leopold II.

Turning to the subject of Belglum's fu- ture, King Albert waid: “We must continue our unshaken at- tachment to constitutional liberty and the love of independence and thus hold sacred our patrimony while advancing toward the peaceful conquests In the fields of labor and sclence, “In the Congo the nation wishes a policy of humanity and progress enforced.

King Albert continued: “The throne has its prerogatives and its responsibilities. The soverign rhust be the servant of the law and the supporter of soclal peace.
