Ills reign was mild; bis taxes were light; bis re quirements for m ilitary duty Were the minimum. Indeed, buVoue subject oc cupied bis thoughts—bow to render bis .^people happy. B ut there are always malcontents, and dissatisfaction without grounds In volve« other follies. We, a perfectly free people today, have our anarchists, who think that by killing a ruler they w ill (teoeflt their cause. So It was In this kingdom. There were i*eople who wished to see the king out of their way. W hy they desired thia no one— not even themselves—knew. The king’s son would Inherit the throne, and the people were unanimous In their inten tion that be should Inherit I t Nor was It expected that the son would make a better king than the father. Tljere were three malcontents In the kingdom, who In their folly resolved that It would be a good thing to get rid of their king. One w a s a baker, another a butcher and the third a con fectioner. They banded themselves to gether under an agreement. Each In turn would send the king a dish that be had himself prepared and Into which he had put poison. The baker was to try his hand first, and If be failed the butcher would try, then the confectioner. So the baker prepared a One large fru it cake and disguising himself took It to the palace w ith a placard on It that read; To the king , fro m one o f hla lo ving sub jects.
