srsssey Letter From the Prince Of w.l.s


return to England, he has been able to
take his 'arf and 'arf regularly, and tt
make Intelligent replies to the congratu'
tions Of his friends. That's doing better
than Lord friedrich Cavendish did after
ne got back to England from conciliat.
Ing the Irish voters. He was not feeling
well enough to be communicative.
We have received confidential letter
marked private" through the British
Minister at Washington, from his Royal
Illness, but unfortunately we cannot re.
produce it verbatim. When We put on
our new subdued dove colored Spring
pants for the first time, we forgot to re.
move from the hip pocket of the ones
we took of, the letter of his Royal High
ness. Subsequently we made q present
of the Winter garments to an old friend,
named Solomon Isaacs, who is getting
up collection of the garments worn by
distinguished men. We yield to his
within, and accept the forty cents he Of
Jared although the pants with little
patching up where they needed it most,
would sell for perhaps a dollar and q
quarter. We forgot all about the letter
ofhis Royal Highness in the hip pocket
of our Winter pants, and by this time,
no doubt, Solomon has found it, and
utilized it for some purpose or other, or
perhaps thrown it away, having no fur
Their use for 1T.
For this reason we are obliged to rely
on memory as to what was contained in
the Prince of Wales letter. The drift of
it was about as follows:
DEAR SIFTER-Send me two copies of
I l,,Sx III
the last one, for Edinburgh begged it of
me, just to look over it, and he mailed
it to the Gar, so am left. / gave him
a COMPOUNDED good cussing, the blamed
Russian sympathizer that he is. That
wife of his will get him into trouble.
She encouraged him to mail that last
copy of SJtings to her brother.
Last week I did not get any letter
from you, although l went to the post
Office three or four times day. The
delivery clerk looked over the letters
but he said that no letter for me had ar
rived. My God, what does this mean,
Alex? What has caused this apparent
GOODNESS on your part. l hope have
not said or done anything to hurt your
feelings. l was speaking to mother
about it last night. She said: albert
Edward. you are silly. Don't you think
Mr.. Sweet has something else to do be-
sides writing you letters? I only wish
you were half as Industrious and steady
as that Texas editor" and then she
sighed heavily. She thinks the world
of you, Alex.
l mailed you a marked copy of a paper
containing an account of my recent trip
to Ireland. The editor of the paper pays
me several compliments which do not
deserve. 1t cost me great deal of mon
ey for whisky and cigars while was in
Ireland. The press must be fabricated
you know, although mother says am
too extravagant about such things.
Yes, got back all right. Strictly
speaking, it was not pleasure trip, as
for some reason or other, Alexandra in
sisted on going along. Can't you inven-
tive Americans invent some machine for
keeping wives at home when their hus-
bands 60 off on pleasure trips?
Before / went to Ireland l was told
that there were some people in that
country who had not had enough to eat
in five hundred years. I believe it now.
l found some of them, or rather, they
hunted me up. They wanted to eat me
up with kindness. Such loyalty is not
to be found even in Canada. / am the
most popular man in Ireland to-day, ex-
cepting, perhaps, st. Patrick and a few
other old residents.
There were some features Of the pro-
gramme that might have been little
better arranged. At some of the towns
the hardy peasantry were little awk-
ward in presenting the floral tributes.
One of the floral tributes-I think it was
q dead cat-which was intended for me
hit my valet on the rim of
the ear just as he was trying to look par
ticularly majestic. I'm glad he got it; he
deserved it more than did. The aims
of some of the Irish leaders are bad. I
by Parnell, who was disguised in the
crowd.
When are you coming over to see us?
Let m know, and l'll send over the
Duke of Argyle in my yacht to bring
you. Let me know, as I want to have
Palace whitewashed, 30 it
will be ready for you when you get here.
me kindly to Gilhooly, Nose
Col Percy Yerger, Koscius-
ko Murphy, Gus De Smith, Tiff johnson,
and all other inquiring friends.
Tell Nose Schaumburg that if he were
over here would confer the Order of
the Bath on him. He needs some
thing of that kind very much.
Ask Gilhooly how he would like to be
made duke. Tiff Johnson, also, can
have dukely corouet to adorn his brow
if he wants it. will send him one if he
will pay the express charges on it, and
promise to wear it for my sake.
Give my regards to the Widow Clap
jack, who kept boarding house on Aus
tin Avenue when was in Austin, about
five years ago. Tell her I have never
seen any such biscuits since.
Love to sill. If I don't get letter
from you this week I'll think you have
gone back on me.
Your obedient,
Albert Edward, Prince Of Wales,
P. B. G.. d. L. NJ. n. o. P.
