Indeed, oome of these UtUe trials have afforded hk» royal highness a good deal of . mnsement. For «x- amp!«, at a vUIat« on the veldt In SoaA Africa, a native woman showed the Prince with aome pride her cfaUd- ren, six boys and one baby girl. The interpreter Informed the Prince of their name::. When he came to the baby gkrl he told the Prince that the child was yet unnamed and that the mother would feel deeply honored if the Prince would name her. The requM* took th. Prince com- pletely aback. He was for a moment quite unprepared with a suitable sug- gestloa But his royal highnesa was only nonplussed for the briefest space. He s>ugucoted the name Dawn; it was received wJlSi delight by the mother and the baby waa so named on the spot. It was a fairly freqii«int trial of the Prince during hio tour that the days aet apart to give him a rest from the keeping =jt public engagements, bad to .be sacrliiced in order that be might attend some entertainment got up un- expectedly. A Kls« for the Eride. Oiie of these little eotertalnments â- was a n-itlve wedding. The ceremony had been haetlly arranged to take place so as to coincide with the Prince's arrival at the village. â- -- The Prince anticipated being able to take a day off and enjoy some hours of really needed rest when, he reached the village. But on bl9 arrival be w«s presented with the invitation to the wedding; he at once agreeMi to accepit it and duly bestowed a kl8»â€" another unexpected duty â€" on the bride. At one lUtle town the Prince had agreed to play a round of golf with a local champlou. On bis arrival at the links the Prince found that an enor- mous crowj^ of all sorts and conditions of parsons had assembled on the course to witness the match. This was somewhat diaconcertlng for his royal highness, who never plays up to h1« best form before a big gallery. ' With Midget Clubs. But there was another circumstance still more disconcerting â€" ^hto royal hlghnesa found that he was expected to play not with his own clubs, but with a weird collection of "Irons" not more than a foot in length. The Prince put up with a bad de- feat with the be»t of grace, gratefully accepting the strange clubs that were presented to him after the match. The worst trial that befell waa the long delay In Chile, necessitated by the Unexpected heavy snowfall tn the Ande«. That delay meant the total upset of the Prince's program In the Argentine, which had to be rearranged by cable. This waa a necessarily difllcult task and kept the Prince's secretarial staff at work day and night. The Prince himself remained' up one entire night 8«ttllng the details with his staff. A great trial to the Prince in con- nection with all his tours has been the long train journeys. His royal high- ness' restlessness of dlopositlon makes < him detest sitting stUI^for hours in a train. He wont play cards and doeA not like reading When it la practic- . able the Prince alights from the royal I special and takes anything from a fif- teen to thirty mile walk, while the ' special la sent ahead. During his pre- sent tour the Prince in this way has ' walked several hundreds of miles.

Old Captain Bradford, with whom I; once sailed, was wont to relate an ad- venture of his with a pirate off the Isle of Pines. U happened long ago, j when the spot was the most dreadful j resort of villany to be found In the' whole world. I "I was before the mast la the brig ! Atlas," he said, "and we were lying at ; Kingston. JamaTca, when six pirates , were hung there. Some of them, as they stood under the galtows, made confessions that were enough to start one's hair on end, and after this very [ little was thought of in our forecastle but the danger we must always be sub- j ject to whllo at sea from such wretch- es as we had seen strung up with their shoes on. "At night I would He In my berth and think of It. What a horrible thing it appeared to me, as vision after vis- , ion rose up in my Imagination that such miscreants should be out on the lonely ocean, committing awful cruel- ! ties where there waa no hand to stay | them ! And sometimes, in that ner- j vousnesB which a person feels who lies ' awiake when he ought to be asleep, I would see it almost as a certainty, that, soon or late, the blood-thirsty monsters would cross my path. | "After a time, getting a freight of six hundred barrels of Jamaica rum. we sailed for Havana, and, as our course would take us around Cape St. ' Antonio, at the west end of Cuba, we would undoubtedly ,pass within sight . , of the Isle of Pines. | "There wa» much fog In the Carib- bean Sea, coming up generally at evening and hanging about us until late In the next forenoon, and - so strong with every one was the appre- henslou of pirates that, whenever to- ward nightfall we had made a vessel In the distance, even our captain seem- . ed to feel relieved as the mist came rolling over the water to shut her from eight. I "Light breezes and calms made the passage long and tedious, and it was j not until ten days after leaving Ja-j maica that one noon, as the fog left , us, we saw, off our starboard-beam, a number of mountain peaks, apparently , far Inland, while, nearer to uj, a line 1 of dark tree-tops apperrsd above the waves. " 'That's the bile of IPnes,' said the captain. 'I meant to give it a wider berth than this.' 'We looked toward it with a kind of Interest which 1 have no desire to feel again. It bore northeast about fifteen miles. 'All the afternoon we lay becalmed, though occasional breezes roughened the water at a distance, and toward night there appeared to seaward the upper canvas of a vessel, standing in, as we judged, toward the ^and. "That vessel was a pirate, we had good reason to believe, for, although her distance from us made It Impos- sible to determine her character, or even her rig, the course she was ap- parently steering caused us to look at each other with very sober faces. We could gather hope only from the ex- treme lightness of the breeze she seemed to have. "We had two sli-pounders, and these we loaded, t remember how the powder and the six-pound balls and the grape and canister looked as we brought them up from below and put i them down near the guns. That evening the fog did not set In. I The night continued clear till almost daybreak, and the anxiety with which we peered through the darkness and 1 listened made the long hours dreadful j to us. ' j "At last the fog came, and sunrise, soon followed. A faint breeze sprang ' up, and the brig moved along at the rate of two or three knots. How glad we weree to be making headway, al- though so slowly! "Pirate or not, there was hardly one chance in a thousand that the vessel we had seen, now that we were cliang- Ing our bearings, would fall in with us m that thick atmosphere. "Some of us were aloft, rigging cut the foretopmast studding-sail boom. ] How much better we felt, new lliat the | brig was moving and we could be do- 1 Ing something to help her along! But 'â-  suddenly we stopped in our work and ; looked around with a start. My heart | became like ice. A confused sound o^{ voices at first reached us. and as w»' raised our heads, a topsail-schooner,-! full of men, loomed through the dense^ fog. not thirty" fathoms from us. "She was off our port bow and stand- ing athwart our course. And what a | crew she had!

We knew that the pirate would put _ himself In pursuit of us as speedily as I ~ ' possible, but to do this he must go In j stays or wear, and would not gather | headway for some minutes^ We heard ' his btocks creak and rattle, heard him enough to knock the driver through the windshield, but nowadays the mo- torist can almost let the clutch in without taking her foot right off the pedal and she will not receive a jolt, although this is not a good policy and will in time injure the mechanism of the car.

The bountiful crops which the Can- adian farmer has this year" reaped and which have made his heart glad are, fortunately not the only harvest that has shown a materia! increase in Canada in 1925. The Fisheries Branch of the Dept. of Marine and Fisheries reports that the fisheries production for the first half of this year exceaded that of last by over $624,000, being nearly $9,780,000. The increase waa ^a^gely in cod. salmon and lobsters, the latter representing nearly one- third of the total fish caught for the first half of the year. It must be remembered, however, that the open season for salmon on the Pacific coast is not included. So much for the fisheries. The mines of Canada have also been showinjf some big production.
