An Heir to the Throne

A St. Paul man has discovered that he is heir to a French throne. Our advice to him, however, is to hang onto the job he now has.
----------
A Lowell, Mass., cow gave seven tons of milk in one year. The world would be drowned in milk if everybody kept that kind of a cow.
----------
Common drinking cups have been frowned upon by law in New York. The manufacturer of the uncommon kind has perked up considerably.
----------
A Boston savant announces that he can photograph thought. Now we'll know what a perfect lady really thinks when she runs for a street car and just misses it.
----------
Poultry raising is to be taught at Rutgers college. Somebody there must have an idea that there are people who do not think they know all about raising chickens.

--The Ellis Review-Headlight, Ellis, Kansas, 1911.

Hi. Where did you find the story about the St. Paul man who was heir the French throne?

I don't know any more details about that story. But it looks like the original story was in the Detroit Free Press. This little editorial quip was reprinted in numerous papers across the country in 1911, without giving other details.
