Stories of King George V
His Queen and Their Family
M
lTR lfS tSfJ
OTWITHSTAND
ING the fact
that KingGeorge
V as the new sov
ereign of the British
empire will be known
Is generally regarded
as n colorless individ
ual and has even been
called auil he has not been without
distinguishing traits For one thing
he is a good sailor the most extensive
traveler of all the royal personages of
Europe a capable business man n de
voted hunter and fisherman a model
husband and father a quiet chap with
out fuss and feathers and withal on
occasion a wit The exhibitions of his
humor have been rare but that is not
wholly a drawback Here is one story
that illustrates their quality
Sample of His Humor
LTe was present at one of the famous
Savage club dinners and as is usual
on such occasions menu cards were
circulated about the table for auto
graphs When a numerously signed
card reached the then prince with a
generous space at the top for his sig
nature he ran his eye over the names
upon it Among them were Sir Henry
Irving James Iiryce and Winston
Churchill and down near the bottom
in a cramped handwriting was the au
tograph of Hall Caine
I am very glad to see that the
prince is reported to have said Now
at least I can truthfully say Ive read
something Hall Caine has written
He put his autograph on the card
and as he passed it on he remarked
I wish Mistress Corelli were here and
had signed the card Then I eoald
stop having to say almost daily that 1
had never read anything she wrote
In his early days as Prince of Wales
it was his custom to stroll through the
mall of St James park which adjoins
the rear gate of Marlborough House
But one night he suddenly changed
his usual course and turned into Pall
Mall to see before liim a stout bris
tling gentleman plainly from the coun
try looking perplexedly about him
Young man you fan earn half a
sovereign if you will take me to the
Criterion said the gentleman The
policemen here try to direct me but I
swercd the prince How many have
you Thirteen sir answered tho
man Thats funny was the reply
cohsidsring that Ive shot only eight
King George is a stamp collector
and h is one of the most extensive col
lections In tho world estimated to be
worth half a million dollars He useu
to orrhiblt it publicly Quo day ex
amining the gallery he noticed a sheet
of early four anna Indian stamps
which had been offered to him years
before for 5750 and which was then
wouli about U000
Ah he said I have reason to
envy Mr Hansberg that sheet
Prince Pddie the heir apparent Is
following in his fathers footsteps as
a stamp collector
The new queen of England was the
Princess Victoria Mary daughter of
tli Ily of Teck Before her mar
riage with Prince George she was en
gaged to his elder brother Albert Vic
tor then Duke of York and second in
line of succession
Prince Albert Victor died on Jan
14 1S02 The English people sympa
thised with Princess Victoria Mary
and on all sides people were say
ing that Trince George the brother of
the dead prince ought to marry her
which he afterward did In those days
the new queen was most popular in
England as the Princess May
In her carriage and dress she resemble-
the present queen dowager
though she is not so beautiful or dis
tinguished as the latter
The new queen like her mother be
fore her is a complete housewife She
is never without some form of needle
work in hand to occupy lingers that
abhor idleness And she not only knits
all the kings socks but aud here is
the tonrh she sees that he wears
them and makes him change them
when he gets his feet wet
Has a Ilsnagerie of His Own
Prince Edward is tne eldest of the
six children of the new king and
quoni H will be sixteen years old

dren ha received a careful and com

ly and physically Prince Edward is

The heir prince burst into a laugh
and said I accept the commission
and then led the countryman along
Pall Mall to the door of the Criterion
Youve well earned that money
said the countryman putting the gold
en piece in his hand Be careful to
make good use of it
I am extremely obliged to you for
the tip said the prince still more
for the accompanying advice and
jumping Into a hansom cab he bowled
merrily back to Marlborough House
Eater of Toadyism
It is said that the new king hates
toadyism A few years ago he was
taking part in a shoot Early in the
day a man came up to him and said
Ive been picking up your royal high
ness birds0 Thats all right an-
I whole menagerie of his own to wmch
i he is devoted and he is an ardent ad
I vocate of kindness to animals
In lf0S he entered Osborne college

I the paths that lead to the navy He
j did not put on any side according to
j the young naval cadets at Osborne
I and is exceedingly popular with his
j associates j
j Prince Edward is not a brilliant
scholar but he is a hard worker He
j is a healthy wholesome looking lad of
i the Hanoverian type with light hair
and a somewhat plain good natured
face

MARCO POLOS BOOK
It Gave Columbus tho Idoa For Hii
vcyajjo or Ciscovary
Mediaeval curope knew but very lit-
fjr if iMitili mill Auto
I Many of the most learned cosmogra
j pliers of the time taught that Asia
stretched eastward indefinitely mid no
one imagined that It had an eastern
coast v ashed by the ocean It was se
riously taught that eastern Asia was a
land of vast swamps inhabited by
mouctcr serpents and dragons This
wn tic opinion that still prevailed up
to within J00 years of the time of Co
lumbus
At this time two Venetian merchants
of the name of Polo went on a vast
trading expedition to the uttermost
parts of Asia They were gone many
years Upon their return the son of
one cf tjom a young man named Mar
co Polo wrote out a full account of
their travels described the empire of
the grand khan the Chinese emperon
and revealed the fact that Asia was
bounded on the east by a vast ocean
He described this eastern coast mi
nutely with all its vast cities and Us
wealth of precious stones and spices
It was from reading this book that
the imagination of Columbus was fired
and he conceived the bold idea of
reaching this eastern coast of Asia by
sailing toward the west around the
earth
So when he discovered Cuba he had
not a doubt that he had landed upon
the coast of Asia and that he looked
upon the same scenes that Marco Polo
had gazed upon 200 years before
HEIGHT OF ELEPHANTS
In the Majority of Cases It Is Undci
Eight Feet
The average term of an elephants
life although therte Is no precise infor
mation on the point is seventy or
eighty years The elephant Is not in
full vigor and strength till thirty live
The most ready way of forming an
approximate idea of the age is by the
amount of turnover of the upper edge
of the ear In young animals some
times up to the age of eight or nine
years the edge is quite straight It
however then begins to turn over and
by the time the animal is thirty the
edges lap over to the extent of an inch
and between this age and sixty this
increases to two inches or slightly
more
Extravagant ideas are held as to
the height of an elephant Such a
thing as an elephant measuring ten
feet at the shoulder does not exist in
India or Burma Sanderson an ad
mitted authority on the subject said
the largest male he ever met with
measured nine feet ten inches and the
tallest female eight feet live inches
The majority of elephants however
are below eight feet and an animal
rarely reaches nine feet the female
being slightly shorter than the male
The carcass of an elephant seven feet
four inches tall weighed in portions
gave a total weight of oOOO pounds so
an elephant weighing two tons should
be common enough The skin was
about three fourths of an inch thick
Kind Words Mean Much
Cultivate kindness of heart thiuk
well of your fellow men look with
charity upon the shortcomings in their
lives Do a good turn for them as op
portunity offers and finally dont for
get the kind word at the right time
How much a word of kindness en
couragement or appreciation means to
others sometimes and how little it
costs us to give it We do not need
to wait for some special occasion
When calamity overtakes a friend
words of sympathy and encouragement
are offered sincerely enough yet in
certain respects as a matter of course
Sin h an occasion calls for expression
on our part and we naturally respond
But why wait for occasion Why not
- oak the kind word when there is no
si ecial occasion
The Roman Senate
The Boman senate had for many
centuries but o00 members selected
from the patricians or aristocrats
The ofiice of senator was for life
The body was practically supreme in
matters of legislation and administra
tion The majority of votes decided
a question and the order in which the
voting took place was invariably de
termined by rank beginning with the
president and ending with tho quas
turs The senators wore on their tunics
a broad purple stripe a bsidge of dis
tinction like a modern decoration
and they had the exclusive right of
precedence at theaters the amphithea
ter and all other public gatherings
What She Wanted
Are you fond of etchings asked
the young man who had taken the
hostess pretty niece down to supper
As a general thing yes she an
swered looking up into his eyes with
an engaging frankness that threatened
havoc to his hearr but she added
hastily as he started to say something
pretty not any tonight thauk you
It is rather late A small piece of cake
will be sufficient
Prima Facie Evidence
The late Lord Morrib o 1 one occa
sion gave a characteristic illustration
of the meaning of prima facie
deuce
If he said to the jury you saw
a man coming out of a public house
wiping his mouth that would be prima
facie evidence that he had been i
iug a drink
Friendship
False friendship like the Ivy decays
and ruins the walls it embraces but
true friendship gives new life and ani
mation to the object It supports
Farmers should ear
more oatmeal
Although the fanner of today is ahfc
to buy almost anything he wants to
wear or to cat he isnt paying cnougfc
attention to food values when it cotscx
to his own tabic
He feeds his stock carefully aveftir
over feeding and selects the stock forf
that he believes will give the be re
turn in strength and genera eftlcitacy
If he has been watching the exten
sive researches and experiments es
the question of the best human UvU
for muscle and bran lie will heed Ac
advice from all sides to cat ratxr
