A Neat Rebuke.
The King of Servia is credited with having no respect for any woman. One day. he was losing at a Paris gambling saloon, when he turned roughly upon a lady who was standing behind his chair, and said, " I wish you would go away. You make me lose. I never have bad luck, excepting when you are there." ••Pardon, sire," she retorted, "I was not thera when you ran away from the Bulgarians, nor when you lost your crown."
