ALBERT EDwARD'scosTLYJoK JOKE.
How He Smashed the Crockery and
Furniture of an Elderly Countess.

Albert Ed ward, Prince of Wales. is per
haps the most popular man in England, says
the New York Herald. This popularity is
due to his love of sports and all manly traits
which are particularly commendable in the
eyes of the average Br1tisher. As a youth
his audacity and appreciation OF joke,
either as a perpetratoF or victim, were well
known.
One OF his early escapades resulted in her
Majesty the Queen footing a bill for broken
crockery and wrecked furniture which the
young prince caused in the house of one o
the lesser members of The nobility. A
rather elderly countess, whose quick tenn
per and sharp tongue drove even her serv-
ants way from her. advertised for foot
man The prince, to whose ears tales of the
pecuIiarities OF the old lady had come, re-
solved TO teach her a lesson He, therefore,
presented himself in disguise at her lady
ships house and applied for the position
of footman.
The countess had just finished her break
fast, and, pushing her chair back from The
table, instructed the servant to bring be-
fore her the applicant The prince was
thereupon ushered into the room. The count
Apparently pleased with the appearance
OF the prince, she said: Let me see you
walk"
Albert Edward did as commanded and
walked back ward and forward several
times across the floor from one end Of the
room To the other, now walking briskly
at the request OF the old lady and then
pacing slowly, as she wished to obtain
points on this score.
This performance over, the countess or
dered him to trot. The dining room still
the scene OF action, the prince trutted
around it several times. When this exer-
else was completed he again came to a
standstill near the head Of the table where
! the countess was seated. Her ladyship
! seemed pleased and was just on the point
/ of asking the young man some questions
about himself, when he shouted:
Now see me galIOpr'
| Grasping a corner of the tablecluth firm
! ly in one hand, the prince rushed around
the room, pulling the crockery off on
the floor in a heap, knocking over the fur
niture, and finally winding her ladyship
| up in the folds of the cluth He then bulted
for the Goor, leaving the countess sput-
tering and shouting and the servants run
| ming about in a~distracted way to lib
| crate their mistress and quiet her rage.
In the hubbub and confusion the prince
| escaped. The next day a check from the
keeper of the privy purse settled the
amount OF the damages and likewise es-
| tablished the identity of the IN mischief-
maker.
