THE FUTURE KING
Will Celebrate His Seventh Anniver-

Will Celebrate His Seventh Anniver-
 sary Tomorrow
 London, June 22.-The British pub lie is only just beginning to look upon little Prince Edward, the seventh an niversary of whose birth occurs to- morrow, in the light of the future king The importance of his place in the ma chine of state is somewhat magnified by the absence of his father. Accord ing to present plans, Prince Edward will be q sailor, going upon the train- ing ship Britannia in few years. His present education consists of a few short daily lessons, given by Mad emoiselle Bricka, for many years com- panion to the late Duchess of Teck. The king is said to be strongly op- posed to "stuffing children with too much knowledge" His recollection is keen of how unpleasant it was to be a walking dictionary" at 20.
 A story is going the rounds of young Prince Edwards precociousness. At a juvenile party. in the presence of the Duke of Cornwall, he was given toys of wood, for which he solemnly thanked his playmates with old fash toned expressions, whereupon the Duke of Cornwall exclaimed: sThe little wretch; he speaks better than I do" which is not far from wrong, for the Duke of Cornwall is notoriously nervous and unftted for public speak ing
