Naming the Prince of wales.

About 600 years ago there was king
OF Eng Edward I.-who subdued
the people OF Wales. After conquer
ing the Welsh. he was anxious to get
their good will, and so. when ii hap
pcned that his first baby prince was
born in Carnarvon, in Wales. he had n
bright idea. He announced that his
boy was a native of Wales-one who
could speak Welsh just as well as any
other tongue (this was true. as the
baby was but few weeks old. and he
should therefore be the peoples own
prince, Edward. prince of Wales, says
Forward. Twenty-three years after
this baby became king OF England, and
about 80 years later his grandson had
assigned to him. as the third prince OF
Wales. the crest and motto which has
been borne by all the English kings
sons who have since that day had the
title. The crest is three ostrich feath-
ers, and the motto is the sentence. "Ich
hien"-"I serve" 1t was given to the
Black Prince, boy OF great promise,
who fought brsvely At the battle Of

MAN WITH THE DRUM.
He b the Most Necrssary and In
portant PersonaRe In . street
PPOeession.

The man with the drum Is very im-
portant individual these days OF street
professions. He keeps things moving
and men from tagging behind quick
step time and is altogether thorough
ly Indispensable person in a parade.
The band only plays at intervals, but
the drum beats steadily on, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Victory In battle is often due to the
man with the drum, but he sounds the
summons to march on and the inspira-
tion of the tap fires the spirit and in
flames the soul and sets the heyday in
the blood rioting hotly with no thought
or power TO attend the decision of the
Judgment.
The man with the drums at the Audi
torium is always the most interesting
character in the ensemble of the or
chestra. High in the center he stands
among his fellows and his arms fly this
way and that among the kettlcdrums
and his flexible wrists and fingers are
in perpetual motion, keeping the pad
ded drumsticks going. In some parts
of the Wagner music he would sound
the alarm OF his beat with n savage sat
isfaction, and in vorspiel TO the Mcister-
singer his famous bombardment never
failed TO bring n smile OF mirthful en-
joyment TO the generally impassive
countenance of the leader of the or
chestra.
