THE KING LAUGHED.

Even Royalty Likes a Bit of Humor Now and Then. A recent visit of the King and Queen of England to Glasgow provided an amusing incident. In the city council chamber the king received a series of addresses. One address was from the corporation. McKinnon Wood, the minister in attendance on the king, handed his majesty the royal address In reply. For two minutes the king continued reading, then came to a sentence which -could not possibly have anything to do with the city council. He turned to McKinnon Wood and laughed heartily. The queen, Princess Mary, and every one else joined in the laughter. Mr. Wood was the only person who did not appear to appreciate the Joke. Very solemnly he handed another document to the king, and his majesty began again.
