'A despatch from Madrid says: {For the third time in his reign, King Alfonso narrowly escaped on Sunday being the victim of an Anâ€" ‘ larghist attempt against his life. ‘ Three shots were fired at the King on Sunday afternoon in the streets of the capital by a native of Barce- l llona, Rafael Sanchez Allegro, who was immediately overpowered. 2‘ King Alfonso owed his life to his ( own courage, quickness and skilled horsemanship. Accompanied by his staff he was riding along the Calle de Alcala on the way back from the ceremony of swearing in the re- cruits, when a man sprang from the sidewalk and seized the bridle of the King’s horse with one hand, 4 presenting a revolver point blank ! with the other. The King took in :the situation at a glance. With / lightning rapidity he dug his spurs ‘ 'into his horse, which reared violent- ly. His quickness saved his life. 5 The bullet, instead of burying it- self in the King’s breast, struck the horse in the neck, but so close was it that the King’s left glove i§panlsh Kifig, Confronted by Assassin’s Revolver Saves Himself by Spurting Horse iATTEMPT T0 SLAY ALPONSO Prices of cattle, reruln.

Bars to Stay Closed Until 8 O’Clock â€"â€"Bottle Goods Restricted. A despatch from Toronto says: Two hours taken off the time dur- ing which liquor may be sold in hotels and the p‘rohibition of the sale. of bottle goods over the bar to be taken off the premises, are the principal amendments proposed in the Government’s liquor license legislation this year. The bill to amend was introduced by Hon. W. J. Hanna, Provincial Secretary, in- to the Legislature on Wednesday evening. It contains four clauses. Clause 1 seeks to define what is meant by “tavern license,” which it is declared shall mean a, license for selling liquor for consumption only on the licensed premises in which the liquor is sold. Clause 2 amends the section of the act respecting shop licenses. Mr. Hanna, pointed out that in Toronto a tavern license cost $12600 a year and a shop license $1,000. VThe dif- ference between tavern licenses and shop licenses is carried through in large cities, but in smaller places it was the same for either. This amendment brings the price of shop licenses up to tavern licenses, and the Province takes 'possesswn of the increased revenue. In clause 3‘ it is provided that “any livery stable or other build- ing to which the public are in the habit of resorting” is included unâ€" der section 50 of the act. This makes it possible to prosecute where liquor is found on such a. place, as the law now applies to boarding- houses or other places maintained {or the accommodation of the pub- ic. Clause 4 makes it illegal for bars to be opened before 8 o’clock in the morning. The present law allows bmgtqopen after 6 o’clock. Baby’s Own Tablets are the best medicine a mother can give her litâ€" tle one. They act as a gentle laxaâ€" tive, sweeten the stomach, break up colds and make teething easy. Con- cerning them Mrs. Alphonse Lan- dry, Upper Caraquet, N. B.,' says: “Baby’s Own Tablets were of great benefit to my little boy ‘and I would advise all mothers with sickly chilâ€" dren to give them _a trial.” The Tablets are sold at 25 cents a. box from The Dr. Williems’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. Half a. million acres of land are asked by the Lake Huron and Northern Ontario Railway in a bill introduced in the Legislature. NEW LIQUOR LICENSE LAW. OWN TABLETS IN THE SPRING ASSESSMENT LAW CHANGES Government Introduces the Measureâ€"Raises IncomeExemptionâ€"Farm Lands Section Repealed A despamch fmm Toronto says: Hon. W. J. Hanna. introduced into the Legislature on Thursday a, bill to carry out the recommendations of the special assessment committee, which met last fall. 'llhese amend? ments are three in number: (1) The raising of the exemption on per- sonal earnings in cities from $1,200 to $1,500; (2) and from $900 to $1,200 in towns and villages. This applies to householders or the heads of families. (3) The repeal of the section providing for the special as- sessment of farm lands in towns and villages. "This will prevent large vacant areas being held at a. low assessment waiting for a. rise in price while the adjoining properâ€" ty pays its full share of the assess- ment. Another change will be to raise the exemption on income derived from investments from $300 to $400. This applies generally, and is not Pathetic Meeting Between Her and Her Little Son, Peter. A despatch from London says: Lady Scott arrived here on Friday afternoon, travelling overland via‘ Brindisi. Nobody awaited her re-; turn more anxiously than her three- year-old son, Peter. All morning little Peter played about the house in Buckingham Palace road, runâ€" ning from room to room, peeping excitedly through the windows. He knew his father could not come with his mother. Ae few days ago his grandmother told him “Daddy” would not come back this time, but perhaps would come some other time. The meeting of Lady Scott and Peter is the greatest event in his life up to now. The mother reached home shortly after three o’clock. Peter stood on the door- ‘step ready to meet her. Just a 3' single hug and kiss and just a few jeXpressions of supreme delight and §Lady_Seott and little Peter went A folder which fully describes an attractive 7 per cent. investment, carrying a. profit-sharing feature as well, may be obtained by writing to The National Securities Corpora- tion, Limited, Confederation Life Building, Toronto! Ont. The investment described is in the form of profitâ€"sharing bonds, which are amply secured. In this in- stance, the National Securities Corporation, Ltd, acts as a holdâ€" ing company for two manufacturing companies whose combined capitalâ€" ization is $1,300,000. Both of these companies have been particularly successful ever since their forma- tion, and for the last few yearg haye operated under the handicap of only being able to take care of about 60 per cent. of the business available, although working at‘full capacity. Accident Between Schreiber and Chapleau on C. P. R. A despatch from Port Arthur says: Conductor Linston, ,of the Canadian Pacific Railway, was seri- ously injured between Schreiber and Chapleau on Wednesday, and died on the way to a Port Arthur hospital. He belongsd to Chapleau and the body was sent there riot burial. The present bond issue is for'the purpose-of enlarging these plants so that they may handle all orders, and to enable them to acquire timber limits now under option, and which will doubtless largely increase in value in the next few years. upstairg.

A despatch from Adanae, Sask,’ says: In attempting to rescue her mother from their burning home, on‘ Thursday, Miss Henderson, daugh~ ter of John Henderson, a farmer located near here, lost her life.‘ Mrs. Henderson also was burned to death. When the fire first broke out Miss Henderson rushed to the barn to warn her father and bro- ther, and, returning, was unable to find her mother.

The injured have been brought to the capital. Drastic Order of Police Prefect 01 St. Petersburg.' A despatch from St. Petersburg says :- The prefect of police, on Wed. nesday, issued a drastic order pro‘ hibiting meetings of all kinds, and also street demonstrations “likely to disturb public tranquility.
