The Prudent Princess.

There was once a beautiful princess, who had a head on her shoulders, which head was devised for thinking purposes. She caused It to be announced that she was coyly willing to be married If the right man came along. Among the suitors was a wealthy old prince, who was enraptured with her beauty and delighted with her intellect. He cried: “Ah, I could die for you!” “Stand aside,” suggested the princess. Bo the old prince stood aside, and the suitors passed on in line, one anjtlier being rejected. At last there came a young and handsome prince, who had overheard the plea of th» wealthy old prince. Now, the young and handsome prince, though he had little money, had considerable sense, ■o he said: “Ah, I could live for you!” “I am yours,” said the prudent princess, “just as soon as the other gentleman dies for me." Moral!—lt Is easier to get In by Inheritance than through a breach of promise suit.
