But Now Is Sober and Sednte-
His Coronation to Occur
Next June.
Especial London letter.

MHEN King Edward VII; was
" Prince Albert Edward of Wales,
he was considered the most
democratic prince in Europe. Why,
1T would be hard to say. The people
of England, as well as the masses of
1of other countries, raise up idols
sometimes because they are too stupid
to comprehend the motives of their
so-called superiors, at other times for
the sole purpose of knocking them
down.
AS prince of Wales, the reigning
British sovereign, who, by the grace
Of Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, is soon to
be made British emperor" was lib
,eral patron of the turf-an institution
far dearer to the average cockney
than the established church. He ap-
peared in person at every meet of i'm
portance, his horses contested for
purses and his representatives were
central figures in the betting ring.
Among his associates he was noted as
a gambler of nerve, and scandal ven
'tured to assert that young and in
experienced men with money in their
purses were plucked like geese in the
august circles patronized by the
prince. His love for beautiful women
was proverbial, not only at home, but
also in Paris and Homburg. Had he
belonged to a somewhat lower stratum
of society he would have been called a
sport and a rake, but being heir pre-
sumptive to the throne, the sycophants
who surrounded him dubbed him
perfect gentleman and prince of good
fellows"
But the transition from second i'd
die to first violin wrought a change
in Albert Edward which frightened his
old intimates and filled the hearts of
the oldfashioned aristocracy with

ment Between Wild Cats in
Close Quarters.

The two wildcats in a box in a bag
gage-room at the Union depot had
glared at each other for a couple of
hours before the trouble began, says
the Denver Republican. All the
afternoon they had growled, and the
supposition is that they had said
things to each other that were not
complimentary. The larger of the
two had spilled the water belonging
to the smaller one. He had switched
his tail into the others face, and in
various ways had given the young
ster to understand that there was
apt to be trouble. Toward evening
the two sat in opposite corners and
glared at each other. The larger an

the altar, where he offers to the arch
bishop an altar cloth of gold and an in
got of gold weighing one pound, called
the sovereign's offerings. After that
follows communion, and then the oath
is administered to the king. There
upon the archbishop anoints the royal
head and hands in the form of cross,
with consecrafed oil. Next he is pre-
scented with the royal spurs of cold,
the royal sword, the imperial mantle
of cloth of gold, the orb, the ruby ring,
the scepters of the two kingdoms, the
scepter royal and the scepter with the
dove. One represents kingly power
and justice, the other equity and mer-
cy. Then follows the actual browning.
The crown is consecrated by the arch
bishop who places it on the royal head.
This is the signal for all the peers and
peeresses to put on their coronets. the
bishops their caps and the lkings-of-

Simultaneously the royal salute is

WORK OF THE WORLD
All People, Rich and Poor, Should
Do Their Share of 1t.
California Judge Declares 1t Is the
Duty of a Wife TO Bear Some of
the Financial Responsible
tiles of the Home.

Judge Waldo NJ. York, of Los An
geles, Cal, is not the most popular
man in southern California just now.
He has brought down wrath upon his
head by declaring from the bench
that women should have some of the
responsibility of the support of the
family, and that the husbands failure
to support the wife was not neces-
sarily valid grounds for divorce. This
is the judges ruling:
"A wife might easily earn enough
to support both herself and husband.
l believe that women should bear
some of the responsibility of the sup
port of the family upon their own
shoulders. We ought all of US to
work and do something to keep the
world going. The mere fact that this
woman and her daughter have had
to help support the family is not in
itself sufficient grounds for divorce"
The decision, which is holding first
place with the weather and other
topics of conversation, was in the di-
vorce suit of Mrs. Flora E. Stephens
against Henry G. Stephens, which
was decided in favor of the plaintiff.
Mrs. Stephens brought action for
freedom from her husband on the
ground of cruelty and nonsupport,
and told a pitiful story.
The wife left the husband, but the
case is one which under the law con-
stitutes a desertion by him, as Ste
phens told his wife she would have
to go. They were living at the time
in East Los Angeles, and she took her
two children, who were living at
home, and left the man who had
failed to support her.
Before the Stephens family moved
to Los Angeles they resided at Po-

many days, amidst much merry story
telling and many joke and laugh,
in spite of the serious situation, the
family gathered about large table
in their living room and spent the
short winter days picking over the
wheat, kernel by kernel, in order to
free it from the pieces of glass. For
this wheat stood between them and
starvation, and none of its precious
kernels must be lost. Their stock of
-four had long since was ted away, as
had most of their food supplies, so
they boiled and ate the wheat with
out grinding. Relief reached them
just in time to prevent sad ending
to the experience"

arch. He was antagonized in parlia-
,ment and out of it. The people called
him young and inexperienced; the
nobility cold and unreliable. He made
a few bellicose speeches and ar
ranged a succession of gorgeous
pageants. Wherever he appeared he
was "it," and very soon the factions
which had abused him most became
his blindest admirers.
Whether the erratic William gave
his British uncle few private lessons
in statecraft, as some waspish writer's
have had the hardihood to assert, will
probably never be known. Certain it
is, however, that King Edward has
succeeded in winning over t his side the
high aristocracy and the middle-class
nonconformists, two elements which.

taking possession of the principal
roads and driveways and speeding

roads or who ride in other carriages

mona, where the husbands neglect
of and cruelty toward his family
aroused such Indignation that the
citizens threatened to tar and feather
him if he did not leave town. The
man has no trade, and according to
| the woman's story, no ambition and
no inclination to work. Since leav-
ing him Mrs. Stephens has been COM
| PEELED to take in washing in order to
support the family.
Although poor, the plucky little
| woman is ambitious for her children,
and is putting one son through a
| college at Healdsburg. The boy, I'M
like his father, is energetic and a
| hard worker, and he is paying part
of his tuition by working before and
after school hours. The oldest son,
Amos, has a situation in Riverside
county, but does little toward the
support of the family. The oldest
daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Woolacott, is
happily married and does much to
assist her mother. The youngest is
child of eight.
After these facts had been proved
to the court, Mrs. stephens attor-
ney, Charles Lantz, submitted the
case, and Judge York rendered his
decision. Touching upon the matter
of nonsupport, the judge said:
ga wife might easily earn enough
to support both herself and husband.
"The fact that the husband has not
contributed to the support of the
family without proof of his ability
to do so, or proof of his neglect to
do so by reason of his idleness, prof
legacy or dissipation, is insufficient to
justify a divorce. Besides, the law
does not contemplate that a poor
man, relying solely upon his labor
for support, should be the only Ia
borer in the family. In this case
the wife and her daughter, by honest
and honorable employment, were
able to earn a living and had the
courage to do so. Their work was no
harder than that ordinarily done by
laboring people, and for aught that
appears the husband may not have
been able to find employment, and, if
able to find employment, may not
have been physically able to labor.
All people, rich or poor, should do
their part of the work, and not be
drones, whose existence is useless.
"But it does appear in this case
that the husband, prior to the sepa-
ration, was extremely cruel to his
wife in many ways and that without
cause he inflicted upon her grievous
mental suffering and physical inju-
ries, and upon that ground she is en-
titled to a divorce.
81 do not look upon this matter OF
women helping to support the family
as such an extraordinary state of af-
fairs as to warrant anybody apply.

CHANGE THE WORLDS MAP.

Recent Events Have Puzzled Students of
Geography.
Why, where is Patagonia? was the
astonished query recently put to me by
an old schoolmate, as, carelessly turn
ing the leaves Of his little sons geogra-
ply, he suddenly came upon recent
map of South America, says writer in
Scribner's Magazine. The boundaries
which we boys had once regarded as
commutable had changed, and the
map, which the vivid impression OF
youth had engraved firmly upon our
memory, was no longer in existence.
The experience of my friend. man
of considerable intelligence, Is not an
isolated instance. The rapidity of our
geographical progress within the last
decades has rendered 1t extremely diff
flcult for the layman to follow the
course of events. In 1925 three great
continents were practically unexplored.
Australia, or New Holland, as it was
then called, was nothing more than
terra incognita-a mere geographical
idea; the vast eXpanse Of Africa-with
the exception OF the Mediterranean
region and the little settlement at the
cape-was still the land Of wonder and
conjecture, and as it had been in the
days of the Romans; while Central
Asia, with its millions Of Inhabitants.
was effectively closed to Europeans.
In the south nature had reared her
mighty barrier, the Himalayas. and in
the east we find China immured. both
in literal and hgurattve sense, within
that gigantic wall of exclusiveness
which seemed designed to screen for
ever from the prying gaze of the civil
lied world the sacred and inviolable
"empire of the sun" Yet 1t is upon the
American continent that the most mar
velous changes have been wrought
changes whose magnitude we, the liv-
ing witnesses, can scarcely appreciate.
As the rising flood imperceptibly but
steadily advances the water line. thus
constantly altering the contour of the
beach, so the swelling tide OF popula-
tion, surging westward, has, through
this entire century, surely but inces-
sanity pushed forward that long west
ern boundary line of 1000 miles. the
outlines of which have never for .
moment remained the same.

tain the thousands who will accept our
invitation. To that end we have Sc
cured unusually low rates from the rail-
waye and have been favored with almost
lavish notices from the press OF the state
gratuitously
We have also called upon our business
men for funds, most OF whom have re-
sponded generously, but the burden ls
too great to be borne alone by indivinu-
ais: the spirit may be willing, but the
ability inadequate. We propose that
this shall be day worthy OF the valley
and the people who make it possible. To
do this we must have more funds
1t is unjust to sxpect that the business
men alone are to entertain the city and
county's guests; they are willing to help,
but they demand that they be assisted
by non resident property owners and
others who otherwise would not pay, ex-
cept by taxes, that is from the public
fund.
The county and city treasures should
give at least as much as individuals; in
fact, they must. in order to maintain the
repu tarion which we have 30 laboriously
earned as entertainers.

by the greatest number that ever visited
our city, and we are anxious that every
one who does us the honor OF a visit
shall be Obliged to say when they return
to their homes that they were royalty
treated.
In contemplation of these facts we
earnestly request all the friends OF this

ing the county and city officials that
there is an urgent public need Of their
hearty assistance in furnishing the COM
mittee with sufficient amount for their
