The favorite game of Prince ARTHUR
is to break the furniture and defile the
apartments of his "loyal' Canadian sub,
jects who are reckless enough to receive
him into their mansions. ULYSSES,
hearing this, has invited him to the
White House, where, it is believed, the
royal pair will soon enjoy grand old
hullabaloo together. Cheap chairs,
rag carpets and other suitable furniture
are to be provided for the occasion, SO
that when the big "bust" is over the
damages can be readily repaired.
