that his royal father adopted the utmost

QUEEN AND EMPRESS.
Sketch Of the Life of England's
Deceased Monarch.
SIMPLICITY OF HER EARLY YEARS

It was ON May "a, 1919, that girl child,
who was to rule millions of people in wide
ly separated portions of the habitable globe,
was born in dingy old Kensington palace.
She was the only daughter of the Duke and
Duchess of Kent, granddaughter of George
III, then king of England, and niece of the
then Prince of Wales, afterward King VIII
liam H. In due time she was christened
Victoria, and from the beginning her educa-

man empress in fact, whose affections
thoughts and utterances were understood
and appreciated at their true value by her
subjects.
Coming to throne furnished by the i'm.
moralities of her predecessors, Queen Vic.
tOria completely reformed the moral atmos.
phere of the court, and to a certain extent
also of the entire British people, for not
withstanding all the epithets that are hurled
against it British society is today infinitely
superior in morals as well as in honor ia
what it was previous to 1881. Vice there is
and always will be in metropolis so large
as London, in a society so elastic and ac-
cessible as that of England, but vice is no
longer so rampant, so unblushing and so
public as in days of yore
That Queen Victoria fostered the fine
arts is best shown by the fact that a large
proportion OF the former enormous imports
of art objects from France into England
have now ceased. Britain has learned to
supply her own demand for art objects
Her majesty's interest in such matters as
these was only natural, for she was one of
the most accomplished women of her do
minions, being a painter of considerable
merit, a musician of rare talent, clever
writer, as shown by her Highland Leaves, +"
and remarkable linguist Not content
with knowing German, French and Italian,
she set herself down when past the age Of
90 to study Hindoo, and was able at the time
OF her death to converse freely with her two
or three Indian body servants.
Moreover, her long experience as a ruler
and the profound knowledge which she pos
sessed of international politics were almost
without parallel among the European SOW
ereigns and statesmen, and endowed her
with great prestige and influence. The lat
ter, exercised with much caution and fore
sight, proved sufficient on several occasions
to avert continental wars, and it is no secret
that Emperor William of Germany and
Alexander III of Russia were restrained
from fighting for years by nothing but the
wise intervention of Queen Victoria.

Anecdotes About the Late Queen Victoria
From Various Sources.

Victoria used to sleep between wooden
blankets or sheets woven especially for her
use. They were made very soft and fleecy
and thin, and as she never used them after
they were washed she required about eight
new pairs every month. When she had dis
carded them, they were sent to the hospitals.
One firm supplied these blankets to her
majesty for 40 years. In order to keep her

Queen VictOria's Jubilee.
On June 20, 1887, the queen once more
made state progress through her great
capital to attend special service at West
minister abbey in honor of the semicenten-
NAL anniversary of her accession to the
throne. Every reigning house in the world
sent either members of their families or
great dignitaries to represent themat the
ceremony, and while kings and queens
chatted gayly together in the chancel of
the abbey while awaiting the coming of
Queen Victoria, her majesty-no longer the
bonny, fresh and healthy checked English
girl of 1887, but venerable looking, white
haired old lady-was driving up Piccadilly,
her carriage escorted by the most brilliant
troop of princes, archdukes and grand
dukes that have ever been gathered to
gether for such e purpose.
Most notable in the procession was the
queens favorite son-in-law, the prince i'm
perial of Germany, who little later sue
ceeded his father as Emperor Frederick, and
1t was observed that when at the abbey the
various princes and princesses present came
forward to do homage to the queen as she
sat in the chancel on her throne the good
old lady embraced "Unser Fritz" with
especial warmth and affection. as if filed
with presentiment of his impending death,
which took place after reign Of only 80
days.
Seven times during her reign was Queen
Victoria's life attempted, but only on one
occasion, in May, 1850, did her majesty re-
ceive any actual injury, and that of mere
transitory character. Her assailant on that
occasion was dismissed officer of hussars,
and he was seized before he had time to ac-
complish more than strike her sharp blow
in the face with stick. The man was SEN
fenced to seven years transportation. The
first attempt to dssassinate her was made
in June, 1910 by man named Oxford, who
fired two pistol shots at her while she was
driving up Constitution hill with her hus-
band. The would be murderer was de
tanned several years IN prison and at last
accounts was earning his livelihood by
house painting out in Australia.
Victoria had nine children-Victoria
dowager empress of Germany; Albert Ed
ward, prince of Wales; Alice, grand Ouch
ess of Hesse; Alfred, duke of Edinburgh;
Princess Helena, Princess Louise; Arthur,
duke of Connaught; Leopold, duke of Al

Persistent Grief.
From the time of her husbands death the
queen was scarcely ever seen in public until
the year 1872, when she proceeded in state,
together with the entire royal family, to
St. Paul's cathedral to join in national
Thanksgiving service for the recovery of the
Prince of Wales from the dangerous illness
which had brought him so very near deaths
door the year before. The queen and the
Prince and Princess of Wales passed from
Buckingham palace to st. Pauls along

were teeming with shouting, hurrahing and
enthusiastic crowds, and the popular dis
play of loyalty was beyond all description.

thronged to the utmost with good subjects
of the queen, who were anxious to show
how entirely they sympathized with her

of that kind of family feeling that prevails
between the English royal house and the
people at large. 1t is due to the existence
