Beggary.

King Copbetua, as the story runs, had wed the beggar maid and was suspecting nothing when to his considerable uneasiness he discovered that his wife was worth $10,000,000 in her own right. “What faux pas have 1 been unwittingly guilty of?” exclaimed his majesty, for he was very scrupulous. The queen tapped his cheek roguishly. “In Pittsburg, where I was brought up,” she explained, “a girl who has only $10,000,000 is to all practical purposes a beggar.” And if be thought with regret of the ideals of a former age it was too late to insist on them.—Puck.
