Alfonso Enjoys Joke on Himself.

Alfonso of Spain has a tremendous appetite; like any boy, he is always hungry. He is far from handsome, but like any boy, again, he does not give a rap about his looks. A few months ago, while motoring near La Granfa, the king’s appetite plagued him and he halted at a wayside Inn, where he ate with much relish while cracking jokes with the landlord and a few peasants who happened to be there, being unknown to them, of course. A little girl enterecHo buy wine for her father. “Tell me,” said Dpn Alfonso to the child, “have you seen the king since he has been at La Granfa?” “Only once,” answered the girl. "He had on a beautiful uniform, but he Is very ugly.” Thd king laughed and told the story on himself.
