KICKING THE FUTURE KING.
When Don Jaime, the Carlist pretender to the throne of Spain, was a schoolboy at Beaumont College, in England, he had to submit to ill usage from his fellows, after the manner of the English princes and all properly educated royal personages. One day a master saw a large boy kicking his royal highness. ‘What has he done?’ asked the master. ‘Nothing,’ replied the culprit; ‘but you see, sir, he may be the King of Spain by and by and I should like to be able to say that I once kicked the King of Spain.’
