years and who is now employed in the
shops and in the yards of the e. ii

pointer to the author of the dispatch
in yesterdays Herald in regard to the
royal family of England.
Il will be fifty years OF age tomor-
row" he said To Link and Pin this
morning, "and forty years of my life
were spent in Midd1esex on what was
then the outskirts OF London. but the
town has now been extended so as TIC

ar well enough acquainted with the
history of the royal family of England
TO know that Queen Victoria has had
nine children instead of eight as stated
in the dispatch to- the Herald yesterday
evening
The child that was omitted in that
dispatch is Alice Maud Mary and she
was the most po,ilar member of the
family. She was known as the beauty
of the royal family. She was born in
April 1853 married TO Prince Louis-af-
forwards Grand Duke of Hesse." in
July 1852 and died in 1878. Her death
having occurred SO long ago is probab-
" the cause OF her name being missed.

lived forty years He is not at all as
bad a man as one who reads the
American papers would think. The
papers here only tell of his bad quail
tiles. but I know that he has many
good ones. He is loved by all Britons
because he is a kind-hearted, common
place man and strives with all his
might to please his people. He is near

social functions, etc
LAS king the Prince of Wales will
be known as King Edward VII of
Great Britain and Ireland and Emper-
or of India. If England We're to be
made a republic today he would with
out a doubt be made its first president,
SO great is his popularity in that coun

Americans think he is, or he would
not be so popular at home"
ON THE OTHER FELLOW.
A reporter ON the morning paper at
tempts to raise a laugh on the repor-
ter of an afternoon paper and make
himself appear a wise guy. and then
bIindly walks into a trap set by Con-
ductor Moss of the G. H. He says that
the other reporter asked a mining
man from Arizona what would hap
pen to England If the queen died. be-
cause the reporter thought that the
mining man was the Duke of Man.
chester. then the morning reporter
walks out laughing at the afternoon
man and runs on to Moss. who gives
him about the most unreasonable
story possible. which the morning man
swallows like a half starved sucker.
Moss told him that the duke passed
throuh Ell Pasc several days ago. hay

and that his grace was 46 years old
Everybody who has read anything
about the duke knows that he is a
mere boy and lacks at least twenty
years of being the age that Moss made
this sucker believe him to be. The
foretold.
