A Peasant’'s Appeal te His King.
At Szanad, in Hungary, lives a poor
peasant farmer named Pere Dati.
The destruction of his crops and loss
of cattle had plunged him into difh-
culties. One sleepless night he cone
ceived a novel idea and arose carly
the next morning and carried it out.
The idea took the form of the follow-
ing epistie:

submit this—and my noble farm produce
has been struck down with hailstones, The
wicked ‘man in possession’ plagues me

Szanad who cau fond me a krouzer, because
no one in Szanad has a krenger. If my
ord would lend me a couple of gulden-for
which he has no immediate need] would
pay him back with interest when my next
year's kukuraz erop (maize) is sold. I
trust thet good health may wall npn my
god king and his exalted hones Lod also
fia dear family. Oh, that 1 could kiss the
preity hands of onr high-born lady queen!
All hanpiness to your aings majesty,
*Traly yours,
“Pero Darr”
This letter was duly dispatched and
a messenger was sent to ascertain the
truth of Rati's statement. This
proving correct the two gulden (about
38) which the Emperor was “not in
immediate need of’ were place at
Pero Batis disposal. London News,
