Prince Fcrdlnnnd Leopold of Austria Is writing a book and In It he takes a fling or two at the British well, one or two. Naturally not all of them are good natured. When the late King Edward of England then prince of Wales, was visiting In Vienna with the old emperor and a gulaxy of arch, flukes, he received a telegram from . l.otiilou us he sat at a royal dlnuer table. It was delivered amid some stir,' for It was known that It had had special privileges on the wires and that prohnbly It came from his mother, ue- great Queen Victoria. Probably, everybody thought, It con cerned affairs of Mate of vital moment. "The prince of Wales, Impressed by a soifiewlint similar Idea, or, perhaps, worrying for fear that lie might be re called from his pleasant dalliance In the then brilliant Austrian capital, opened It at once with an anxious look upon Ills face. The old Austrian emperor and the archdukes, who were all. at table with lilui, watched him curiously as he read It. Having done this he sighed with Kopje relief and then glanced about the Utile at the remarkable display of wines which always characterized even the simplest of the Hapsbtirg meals. Taking a pencil from his pocket afer this survey he scribbled a brief answer to the telegram and tjien told thi tableful the contents of the mess age and the nature of his reply. The telygrara had been sent by his worried mother, Queen Victoria, and said: U'l hear the water In Vienna Is not gopd. Be careful of It. Victoria." His answer said: , "Don't worry. Promise not to touch It.;! ,:In speaking of the Scotch (this be- ln,g another of the good-natured series) the prince tells of a Mac donald, taken prisoner by the Austrian ajhdj becoming celebrated as a story teller In the prison camli. '.Thli Macdonald, It appears like every Scotchman, was Inordinately boastful of his forebears. lie was talklug with tt'u -Austrian one would think they must have been real pals! and said that his clan was most ancient and distinguished of all.
