The Young Husband of Queen wii-

Queen WilhclmInn's new husband
has acquired distinction In the ylcin-
!ty of the royal residence by acting
IN u game warden. Two jolly Dutch
men fond of poaching entered the for
est of Loo few days ago In the hope
of being able to snare few par
tridges, says a London exchange.
In this task they were quite success
ful. hnt as they were sneaklng home
through the trees at n little distance
from the royal castle In which Queen
Wilhclminn and the prince Of Mecklen-
burg are spending their honeymoon
they found themselves face to face
with another sportsman.
II was. In fact, the prince of Neck
lenburg himself.
The poachers did not know him. and
the two Dutchmen never sus-
pecting that this handsome young
gentleman was laying trip. told him
all about themselves and consequently
were surprised when the prince told
them To hand over their partridges
and give him their names. They COM
piled sullenly and then went home,
where they were arrested few hours
later ON the charge Of poaching.
The prince Of Mecklsnburg has
never been popular with the psopls
Of Holland. and his action on this os-
