. -- 2 MUCH LOVED BY ALL WHO HAVE ASSOCIATED WITH HER. $he Has All the Qualities and Graces That +. Will Endear Her to Her People--An - cident That Betokens Her Goodness " --- * » Mary, England's new queen, is much loved by those who have known her so long as the Princess of Wales. She lacks none of those graces which we of the new world suppose to pe necessary to the oueen of tradition, and yet she seems in real life to be much (the same as her sisters and cousins the whole world over. Not many weeks ago, it is re- lated, in the streets near Windsor castle, a girl of ten, shabbily dressed, was wheeling 'a baby in a dilapidated perambulator, By some accident the nursemaid managed to run the carriage off the curb and overturn it. The occupant was more frightened than hurt. A lady passing hy stopped, and having righted . the conveyance took the baby in her arms and comforted it until its cries ceased and it fell asleep. Then she gave the elder child a shilling to console her for the fright she had received. Passersby who witnessed the incident re- cognized the lady as the Princess of Wales, but no one stopped to watch, for Windsor etiguettendemands that when any of thé royal family are out qpping or walking no one shall pay any fore attention to them than to ordinary' visitors ig the town. Sidelights on the Late King. Two Englishmen, stalwart fellows, not long out, were talking of it on the back of the car, "He was true British, he was," said one. "Never gave up till he had to; kept it dark until it became serious, and met the King of Kings with the comscioysness that he had done his duty. He was a good King." The oak tree, in the Horticultural Gardens, Toronto, planted by King Edward, when Prince of Wales, is dying at the top. During a recent visit to Windsor Castle, the late monarch visited the royal mausoleum in St: George's Chapel, when it is said he selected the spot in which he wished his body to rest, * ; fo daa de Lond ~N ig » Knew King Edward. Chairman Whitaker Thompson, addressing the London County Council, even the Social 'ist members Of which were in full mourning, "The people of London, where both the dead and the living King are 'more intimately known than anywhere else in the world, have met to express what is in their hearts. King Edward knew London and had seen its pros- perity and poverty. Amid the prosperous His Majesty understood how to move with dignity and urbanity; but the whole mass of Londoners always felt, that the King's heart was chiefly enlisted by the struggles and vi- cissitudes of the ordinary people. This is why the massgs are grieving now more deep- ly than any other part of the community. Scarcely" one of them can trust himself to speak of the dead King lest lis voice fail him. "King Edward was peculiarly human, and people. always understand and love a man . peculiarly human. What one among us has not seen the King's face again and again? Did any one of us, however stately the cere- monial in which His Majesty might be en- gaged, ever see him stiff or cold or fail to smile with pleasure and tenderness when the people crowded close and gave full vent to loyalty and affection? Edward loved London and watched the work of tie London County Counciléin the interests of public health and morality ith unflagging solicitude. Housing, beautification; hospital work aad every form of wise charity--all had the King's practical support... ; ne : of | KING EDWARD AT THE PLAY. His Majesty Very Fond of Clean, Whole- some Performances. Toronto Saturday Night. Byt the coincidence of a mamé it was at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Toronto, that the first public announcement was made in Can- ada of the death of King' Edward Mr. Forbes Robertson made it at the end of the second act of his play, "The Passing of the Third Floor Back." For a few minutes the greatest English actor was of a mind to can- cel the performance; and it wad with diffi- culty he went through the play. "Had it been a new play, I doubt whether I should have got through at all," he said. "I knew His Majesty so well": 0 There's a peculiar note (of 'sincerity in Forbes Robertson's perfect gentility behind the scenes. "Two years ago I played this play before the King at the Lyceum, and have often play- ed before him, at "Sandringham, by special appointment. His Majesty often came to my regular performances in Londom. HH the word got back to us just before the play that the Duke of Fife was in the royal box we took it as the signal that on the next night the King would be present. I think His Majesty tried the plays on the Duke. "The King liked almost anything good-- good clean comedysor farcg comedy quite as well as he liked the serious drama. He had a host catholic taste. He loved clean, healthy naturalism on the stage. Mere musical comedy never attracted him. The least sus- picion of anything wdlgar or the slightest bit off color displeased him deeply. [ should say he had a very wholesome broad-minded ap- preciation of the drama." The actor also spoke of performances at KILKENNY MINSTRELS; OR; ALL FOR IRELAND, Sandringham where the royal children were born, and where the King and Queen spent their happiest moments, and where the entire household, servants and all, were allowed to s¢e the little one-act plays. "The late Queen too, he said, was fond of a good comedy, and he remembers the strange, deep laughter that once startled the actors from the back of the hall--as though it were sorue man's voice; but it was merely the mother of King Lkdward, from whom he got much of hilarity. One occasion Mr. Robert- tson recalled whem-the ex-Empress of France was visiting the Queen at Balmoral, and sat as her guest at the play. At the close the Queen three times motioned the ex-Empress to. precede her out'of the hall; three times the Empress courtsied and declined the Lonor-- till compelled to accept it." Afterwards the Empress said: "Mr. Robertson, you will quité understand how well I have enjoyed your performance when I say that not since just before the Franco-German War have I seen a play of apy sort." The King Was a Good Pupil. Prof. Goldwin Smith has cherished memories yof his late Majesty. At Oxford he was for some time his tutor, and the friendship then formed was maintained to the King's death. When Mrs. Smith died recently his Majesty sent a cable gram expressing his sincere regret, and on the later occasion of the accident as a result of which Mr. Smith is now confined to the Grange, an- other message was received from the King. In a recent sketch outlining Mr. Smith's work and life, Frank Yeigh of Toronto, referring tc some of the things that might appear in any book of reminiscences by or of Goldwin Smith, said : "In such a book of reminiscences he might chronicle, for example, the interesting fact that he once had the present King as } pupil. A class in English history wv... specially formed for the royal pupil. 'I used fo examine him I have no doubt that I bored him to extinction. But he never let me see that he was bored.' " eee RECLAIMING THE DELINQUENTS. Pessimistic 'Regarding Reclaiming Criminal Children, Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, inspector of prisons at Washington, D.C, speaking at the St Louis convention regarding the reformation of children with criminal tendencies was in- clined to be pessimistic, and the Woman's National Daily takes her to task for her loomy outlook. While acknowledging Mist oster to be not only a philanthropist and an authority, the paper says: There is a possibility that the final word has not been spoken. It is a terrible sent- ence to impose upon the unfortunates to say they are condemned because of the sins or lapses of their forbears. Are the sins of the parents visited upon the children? To de- clare that they are and then to execute the sentence is to set aside our boasted civiliza- tion and discard the freedom of thought of the twentieth century. All teaching has tend- ed to disprove this theory, which most regard as a law long ago repealed, if it ever was a law. . The tendency is to get away from the belief that lawl sness, sin and depravity can either be inherited or transmitted. Isn't this the pleasamtest belief? It is easy to believe the contrary, especial- ly when working among those who seem by every word and act to add proof to the theory of inherited degeneracy. But all of us have observed individual cases sufficient to establish the proof that the rule is not in- fallible. 1f one boy or one girl can be brought to a healthy and normal habit of thought after rising above the condemnation of the supposed law, much if not all of Mrs. Foster's theory is set at naught. Perhaps 'we shall find our processes all wrong. Convedtions are, called for the pur- pose of discussing ways and means. 'The ef- fort is to find new and better methods for doing work undertaken, never to boast of what has been done, and seldom to bemoan failures. Mrs. Foster and her co-workers will rejoice as greatly as anyone else if the condition now. regarded as hopeless can be brightened and the way made plain. The Blessing of Narrowness. Narrowness is one of the blessings of life, There can be no definiteness to one's course, and no depth to one's life, without it. The fact that there are so many persons who prefer a breadth of action and thought that knows no sharply defined limitations accounts for the fact that there are many whose fives have no depth and are heading nowhere. It was said of one whose life was given to the service of others: "He was narrow, as the river whose course is defined, be- cause it is confined by its banks--the river whose narrowness makes it deep, and causes it to be a bearer of life-giving power rather than a wasted swamp." Those who have not yet seen and J chosen the confines between which God would deepen their lives, and by which He would give increased power and usefulness and a goal to aim for, have yet to learn the richness and privilege and joy of the narrow way. Few are they that find it; but all may find it who will-- Sunday School Times. * \ Toy an Old Breed. From Bit aad Spur. of the oldest. and most popular breeds of pet dogs known.

In the The Logical Cure for Sick Headache. It is a mistake to endure a headache as a necessary affliction. It is equally a mistake to doctor it as simply a headache, forthough you may relieve, you cannot cure it that way. ; Only in rare cases is a headache faused by anything wrong with the head itself. Zhe froudle lies in some impurity of the blood that irritates the delicate network of nerves and causes the acke. That is why every pulsition pouring in more blood, is so plainly felt. ~~ Lessening the flow of blood to the head by means of a tight compress, an ice-bag, or some drug that acts on the heart and reduces the pulsations, sometimes gives temporary relief. But these-measures have absolutely no effect on the blood impurity which was the cause of the whole trouble. ie -In practically every case this blood impurity would be removed from the system by the bowels, kidneys, skin or Jungs, if these were 'all working right. It is the inactivity of one or more of them that allows the poisons to accumulate in the blood, and the Acadache i simply a symptom or warning that things ave not right. The way to put them right--to cure the root of the whole matter--is to take Dr. Morse's Ingian Root Pills. They act directly on the bowels, regulating them --on the kidneys, strengthening and stimulating them --on the skin, opening up the pores--and on the lungs, clearing the delicate membrane of any mucus which may have collected. 3 When these four great eliminating 'organs get working properly again all impurities are quickly taken out of the blood, and the unpleasant symptoms, of which the headache is one, disappear--not simply relieved, but cured. . You can take Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills with confidence, for they have a record of over half a century of remarkable cures. Rev. A. L. Bowers, of Bristol, Tenn., tells how they cured him : *I'want you to know how much good your Indian Root Pills have done for me. I was troubled with terrible head- aches and biliousuess. 1 tried several doctors but they did me no good, and for fourteen years I suffered. The use of your pills has made a cure in my case." oF -MORSE'S 0 or INDI} ARO Cure Headaches For Sale Everywhere at 25c. per Box. 25 I Give Your Feet a Treat And wear a pair of our Summer Oxfords through the warm months.
