INTERESTING STORIES ABOUT THEM. Anecdotes Which Show the King’s 1 Character -‘- Prince. of Wales at Sea. SOME l Kingr Edward .is a very quick Walker, and his pace sometimes taxes the powar of his attenldants. One dumb companion, however, nev- er fails to keep at his side; and that is Peter, a French bulldog, which for many years has been everywhere with him. During one of his voy- ages with his royal master poor Petr er suffered so much from seasdckness that he strained the nrascles of the back of his eyes, and in’ consequence became blind. It is -most touching to see Ioor blind Peter following the King about the grounds at Sand- ringhain as unerringly as though he could see. King Edward, while staying as a guest at a certain country mansion a few months ago, entered the vil- lage school one morning quite unl- expectedly, and in his usual pleasant way asked the children a few ques~ tions. ‘ ‘Now, 'my young friends,’ said King Edward, cheerfully. 'I daresay some of you can tell me the names of a few of our greatest kings and queens, ch?’ __ ‘ With one accord they cried out â€" ‘King Alfred and Queen Victoria, sir.’ Just then a tiny slip of a boy, to whom the schoolmaster had whisper- ed something, stood up and raised his hand. ‘Do you know another, my boy?’ asked the King. 'Yes, Your Majestyâ€"King Edward ,VII.’ His Majesty laughed, and again asked: 'What great act has King Edward VII. done, pray?’ The 'boy lowered his head, and Btammered out: ’I don’t know, Your Majesty!’ ‘Don’t be distressed, my lad,’ said the King, smiling; ‘I don’t know either.’ As a midshipmon, Prince George, now PrinCe of Wales, was as full of high spirits and as fond of a pracâ€" tical joke as boys mostly are. Walkâ€" ing through a Portsmouth street with some brother middics, he no- ticed a grocer stroking his long beard in a very complacent manner. The boys considered, entered the shop, and Prince George asked the grocer to serve him with two pounds of treacle into .his extended cap. The grocer did as requested, suspecting a joke, but not a per- sonal one. The Prince immediately slipped a sovereign in the man’s band, and slapped the cap of syrup on his| head, and while the sticky compound traveled down the long beard the boys scampered Off. The grocer quickly got over his‘ conster- nation, and, being a sensible man, entered into the joke, put up ‘Purâ€" veyor to Royalty,’ above the shop door, and considers-"that his trade has henceforth taken a turn for the better. King Edward Won the reputation for being quite a machinist not long ago, when taking an automobile ride near Wiesbaden. The motor ran out of water and the boiler was filled from a. wayside spring. By- andâ€"by. the‘motor would not work, and his companion, who. was an exâ€" pert, could find no reason for its failure. ‘I wonder,’ he suggested, in tentative fashion. 'if that water we took in 1111‘. anything to do with it? You know these German Wa- ters generally have some sort of mineral properties in them. The boiling may cause crysmllization. and so choke the piston.’ The pis- Killil RD AND FAMILY disposed. l l l had been horribly seasick, and other situation. HE COULD WAIT. . In many Scottish families the old man-servant is something of an in- stitution. ‘ He enters the service of a particular family when a boy, adheres faithfully to his place for a long number of years, 'and‘only re- signs when the infirmities of age are upon him. In time he becomes ra- ther imperious in tone, and claims as his rights little things that were at first granted to him as favors. If any objection is urged to his de-- mands he usually asserts himself with a. spirit of independence. A lady tells an amusing story il- lustrative of this.
