GOODWIN TO THE RESCUE.
How He Helped Gene Field Before New

Comedian Nat Goodwin has Just con-

southern city since he has been star,
and while the people there had heard
a good deal of him, they were under the
impression that he was in the class
with the usual run Of farce-comedy stars,

charge the same prices as Joseph Je1er-
son. He made an instantaneous hit,
however, and before the week was over

A ROYAL VIEW OF THE FUTURE,
The Prince OF Wales Wants TO See France
and England Fast Friends.

european Edition Of the Herald)
II Is OF common knowledge that the
Prince OF Wales. who has Just made a
long visit to France. keeps himself en-
tirely aloof from politics, but he is none
the less at liberty to hold his own opln-
Ions on men and things. and to express
his views on the events Of the day, which.
says the Gaulois, he always does with
the greatest reserve and the most absolute
discretion
His utterances certainly bind no one
but himself" continues our contemporary
and perhaps he may when King OF
England, forget what he said while Prince
or Wales. but IL is nevertheless true that
expressions OF opinion coming from so
nigh source are worth remembering.
We are, therefore, glad 10 hear from the
mouth or one who IS admitted to init
macy with the Prince some of the CONVEX
sations In which his Royal Highness has
taken part.
THE Prince Of Wales, we are told. ar
IDENTIFY desires that France and England
should come TO a complete agreement
upon all questions which divide them at
the present time. and should hold com
mon views as 10 the direction OF European
politics. Might not England even be a
sort of buffer between France and Ger
many? In lac Princes idea, such a new
Improvement would be destined 10
finally secure the peace of Europe. and
might even lead TO that reduction OF ar
maments so unanimously desired by all
peoples, but so impossible that the strong
est sets the example
1T IS not for US TO Judge these views
here. In our opinion the peace OF Europe
can be best guaranteed by the Car Alex
ander who holds il, so TO speak. I'm the
hollow. Of his hand We are. however.
pleased TO know that a great prince,
whose sympathy for France is we'll
known, Is striving. with the discretion
which characterizes him, 20 dissipate the
misunderstanding which exists between
his country and ours. We have a right
to be pleased at IT,"

Paying the piper."

How many times we have heard the
expression. Pay the piper" and won
dered where It originated. Perhaps some
OF you have heard the legend. but for
the many who have not I will tell IL.
In all likelihood IL came from the old
and celebrated German legend OF THE
Pied Piper OF Hamelin." Robert Brown
ing has given US a pretty description OF
the legend In a poem OF the same name.
Inc story tells US that young musi-
clan, dressed in disguise. came to Hamel.
a nourisEing town In Brunswick, and
offered 10 rid the town OF the rats which
had infested IL for so long a time He
wore fancy coat OF many different
coiors, hence he was called the pied
piper. The commissioners Of the town
gave him orders TO destroy the rats.
ana promised him a reward when he
should have done so. But after the work
was completed the promised reward was
withheld, and the piper In revenge blew
his magical pipe again. and by its won
derfui tones drew all the children OF
the town TO a cavern In a hillside. The
opening OF the cavern was closed as soon
as the cbildren had entered. and their
parents never saw them again.
And so our proverbiai expression. PAY
the piper. sprang from this legend, and
II conveys warning to all men to paw
every one his just dues, or be on the look
out Tor q revenge ~ cruel a. that Of the
Fled Piper OK Hamelin.
