The First: Holder of the High and Mighty Office Was Elected In 1188 and Proved Popular--Dick Whit. tington and Other Ancient Worth. ies--How Self-Made Lord Mayor Gave Charles 11. a Taste of His Quality. The most im, ive thing about the Bs poraley of London is its great an- tigitity. Saxon and Norman times London was an independent state, and the chief magistrate--the portreeve, or the bailiff--was an absolute ruler. The first mayor was elected in 1189, and he was so popular that he retain- ed the office for 24 years. The first lord mayor's Jgeant was in the reign of Henry VIII, and ini it he figured as chief butler to Anne Boleyn. Through the long intervening years | the lord mayor has retained many of | ; his prerogatives as a ruler. Most people have no idea how extensive his privileges are. He has his own chaplain (in olden days, like the monarch, he had his jester, too), and badges of royalty are attaehed to his office--the scepter, the swords of justice and mercy and the | mace. He has right of precedence in the city before all the royal family. Soldiers in any number cannot march through the city- without his consent. | He has the right of private audience with the King. He has the privilege of direct entrance without question at royal levees. He can at any time dis- solve the city courts, even that of the common council, sword and mace from the table. is lord of the riger Thames, of conservancy, and he controls the city purse. The majesty of his state is pretty considerable too. The city gives him a sum of £10,000 to expend. His pal- ace, the Mansion House, is furnished with plate and ornaments worth £100,- | 000. He has a splendid retinue of | !| servants, including a sword-bearer, mace-bearer and seven trumpeters, whose liveries cost some £1,000 nually. He gives a yearly which eosts thousands of pou employs an army of 150 wai and carvers. Best of all, he has i y for chari- table purposes. In the last quarter of a century the lord mayors of Lon- don have raised nearly £6,000,000 for the relief of various people in dis- | tress. Another feature which makes the lord mayoralty attractive is its glam- our of romance. More often than not the king of the city is a self-made man. Dick Whittington started out | as an apprentice, as many other lord i mayors have done. The mayor of 1611 | came to London in rags in a carriers | cart. 'The wealthy mayor of 1418 had | been a foundling. As recently as 1800 we had a lord mayor of London who began life as a bricklayer's laborer. | When men of this character are ex- | alted to the seats of the mig" 'vy they | are apt to do freakish things at times. The laborer mayor instanced above | had a son who fell from a high ladder and was killed, and the mayor on be- ing brought to the spot broke through | the crowd, exclaiming, "See that the poor. fellow's watch is safe!" Another self-made lord mayor gave Charles II. a taste of his quality. Charles dined with him in the city, | and the wine passed so freely that the guests grew noisy and the mayor familiar. Charles therefore stole away to his coach in Guildhall yard, but the bibulous mayor pursued his majesty and, catching him by the hand, cried out, with a monstrous oath, "Sir, you shall stay and tak' t'other bottle!" | And the merry monarch actually turn- | ed back and saw the fun to a finish. | The temerity of this mayor seems all the more remarkable in view of | the Stuart king's tyrannous dealings | with the city. He imprisoned twenty | of the principal citizens because they | refused him a loan on bad security. | He fined the mayor and aldermen | £6,000 on the pretext of a trifling city | riot and £50,000 for pretended mis- | management of estates. The mayors, themselves, however, | could fine readily enough on occa | sion. For example, his worship of the | year 1479 had one of his sheriffs fined | £50 (about £1,000 of our money) for | kneeling too close to him while at| prayers in St. Paul's. Yet another lord mayor (183%) made an amusing blunder of speech at a dinner tq judges and leaders of the Bar. "See before you," he exclaimed magniloguently, "the examples of my- self, the chief magistrate of this great empire, and the chief justice of Eng- land sitting at my right hand, both now in the highest offices of the state and. both sprung from the very dregs of the people!" These mayoral banquels, by the way, have always been wonderful ai- fairs. In the year of George IIl.'s marriage there were placed on the tables 414 different , excluding dessert. Forty-five years later (1806) no fewer than seven of this monarch's 'sons were guests at a mayoral dinner. The Guildhall banquet to the prince 'regent and the allied sovereigns be- fore the battle of Waterloo was serv- ed on plate valued at over £200,000 and cost £35,000. All. this, however, is hardly ro- mance. We must revert to Sir Richard itti Sir Richard of London. But, alas, he had no cat! There is a story of Bir Richard . King 2 was dining with him in the city when Bir Richard caused a fire to be light ed and threw into it Bonds to the value of £60,000 given him by the King for money lent, thereby freei his majesty from debt.

Unnecessary Hurry. You have promised, let us say, to call for a friend at his office, so as to go down into the country together. He is a stockbroker, merchant, what you will. His place of business being ten | minutes' walk from the station, you call after business hours, about a quarter of an hour before the train starts. You find him cheerfully doing nothing unless a cigarette counts for work. He absolutely declines to start yet. It is too absurdly early. After five minutes you suggest departure. By no means will he move. It never takes him more than seven minutes at the utmost. Knowing shis walking capa- cities, you doubt, but acquiesce. At last you are off, and halfway to the train he says: "By Jove, old man, we | must hurry up. My watch is slow." Bo yoti run--ignominiously you run. If uck befriend you, you just catch the moving train, and as you sink perspir- ing and breathless into your seat he says: "You see, we were in plenty of time. Never missed a train im my life." Plenty of time, indeed! And all this hurry for nothing. If he had been doing anvthing--had a letter to write or the like--in those wasted eight minutes, you could forgive him, but he hadn't, or at all events he didn't. You mop your brow and, though he is your very good friend, remember with complacency that this "just catching trains leads to many coron- er's inquests.--London Saturday Re- view. Where He Stood Out.
