MAX BEERBOHMS FAMOUS RHAPSODY
ON THE CAREER OF THE PRINCE AND KING

Around me seethed swirls, eddies,
torrents, violent cross currents of hui
man activity. What uproar! Surely
l could have no part in modern life.
Yet, yet for awhile it was fascinating
to watch the ways Of it's children.
The prodigious life Of the prince of
Wales fascinated me above all; in
deed, it still fascinates me. What ex-
perience has been withheld from his
royal highness? Was ever SO super
nal type, as he, of mere Pleasure?
How often has he watched, at New
market, the scud-a-run of quivering
homuncles over the vert on horses,
or, from some night-boat, the hola-
caust of great wharves by the side
of the Thames; raced through the
blue Solent; threaded les coulisses!
He has danced in every palace Of
every capital, played in every club.
He has hunted the elephants through
the jungles Of India, boar through
the forests Of Austria, pigs over the
plains Of Massachusetts,. From the
castle of Abergeldie he has led his
princess into the frosty night, High

Moscow, in strange apparel, to kiss
the catafalque of more than one czar.

in front of the newspaper bulletins,
cheers were echoing few minutes
ago in answer to the announcement
that the king has passed comfort
able day and is having a satisfactory
night.
Confidence in the kings recovery is
now general. His majesty is gaining.
At best he seems to be out of dan
ger.
His recent habits are in his favor,
for it is fact, although not known
to many outside of the royal house
hold. that the king is, and has been
for a long time. most abstemious as
to his diet.
Indeed, this is made necessary by

Then he inquired about Admiral Ger
vats, the French envoy; then his ma
jesty inquired particularly about the
children's entertainment by the Prince
and Princess of Wales at Marlborough
House, asking that all details be told
him.
After hearing them he said: "How
have our grandchildren liked the sight
of so many of their little country
men?"
Now that the first anxiety is over
many peeresses are telling amusing
stories of the rehearsal held at the
Abbey.
The duchesses vow they walked too
briskly up the aisle, and that at the re-
hearsal of the four lovely duchesses
who were to carry the queens canopy
they carried aloft piece of common
cloth poised on the ends of plebeian
broomsticks, so as not to tire their
fragile hands with the real canopy,
which is too heavy.
The Duchess of Portland, famous
alike both for beauty and high station,
laughingly vowed she felt embarrassed
at being so much taller than her COM
panion, the Duchesses of Marlborough,
Sutherland and Montrose.
Gayety is reviving among the cour-
tiers and grande danes, although they
sometimes remember with q shudder
that the danger is not yet past.
The queen who rarely leaves the
sickroom save for meals, brings to the
Kings bedside any news that she
thinks will interest him, and SAYS:
I'll become living gazette provided
you don't ask for areal one, because
print will affect your eyes,"
The Duchess of Westminster, who
had planned big ball which would
have marked the end Of the corona
ton fetes, says: "I'll give all the
money intended for the ball to the
poor. as the King seems to think of
them above all during his illness"
His majesty expressed desire to
see his nephew, the Grand Duke Of
Hesse, son of his deceased sister Alice.

Russia. ~

than is ordinarily the case, which is
probably due to his majesty's we'll.
known strength and will power.
The Prince of Wales was astonished
to find how clear was the mind Of his
father.
Immediately after the operation his
majesty's voice remained so strong
that the queen was often obliged to
prevail upon him to lower it to
whisper.
In the Kings encourage, discussion
of the probable date of the coronation
has been thrust aside.
In the opinion of the Kings inti-
mate friends it would appear as show
ing a lack of tact II any illusions were
made to the pageant in the present
circumstances.

WI Iuduy 1uCuTdDl0, IL Is easy 10 uu
derstand that the king had strong
personal reasons for wishing to be
crowned at this time.
1t is also easy to understand why
Queen Alexandra, now feeling most
sanguine of her husbands recovery
has suggested a quiet coronation in
Westminster Abbey as soon as he is
convalescent, which would be in the
latter part of August or September.
OF course, the magnificent corona.
ton, which was to have been the
most splendid spectacle of the mod.
ern world, has vanished forever. No
attempt will be made to have q
great celebration, for King Edward
Will not be able for many months
10 endure any trying ordeal.
The queen and his children are al.
lowed to see him, and Lord Knollys
and the physicians. But even the
queen is restricted as to her conversa-
ton with him. Every care is taken
to make his mental condition as
serene as possible.
Subjects of state are avoided. He

sages from all the world, including
America, because it is believed that
such information has a favorable ct.
feet, and he has expressed satisfac-
tlon over President Roosevelt's touch
ing words of sorrow and hope. He
has taken very little nourishment, and
altogether he is very sick man, and
treated as such.
Queen Alexandra states that the
king will recover, and her feeling
gives tone of buoyancy and hope to
the whole palace. She has told those
around her that the king is sure to
get we'll, and her assurances thus
conveyed have reached the public and
helped to spread the optimism which
is well nigh universal throughout
England.
Special Ambassador Reid was deep.
ly touched at his formal leave-taking
of the Pri2ce of Wales and seemed
about to burst into tears.
The prince was most gracious in
his language and manner and ex-
pressed strong expectation that his
royal father would soon be well.
Lord Lansdowne, secretary of state
for the foreign department, was also
most gracious to Mr.. Reid and spoke
warmly of England's appreciation of
American sympathy.
While there has been no thought of
a regency, Prince George of Wales
is attending to much Of the public
business which usually falls to his
father. Prince George is showing
himself thoroughly conversant with
state affairs.
For years he has been in the conf.
dence of his father and they discuss
ed public business together, and
Prince George is now able to carry
out what he knows to be his fathers
wishes without having to disturb his
sick parent by asking him what to do.
Prince George for the present is the
virtual head of the monarchy, and his
mother, Queen Alexandra, treats him
with affectionate Difference.
He is also, however, a dutiful son.
and is devoted in his regard for his
mother as well as his father. While
Londoners who remain awake look
forward to tomorrow with the hope
of more good news, the vast majority
of people are in slumber, resting after
days of unprecedented excitement and
anxiety. In fact, never in the present
or the past century has the metropolis
seen such quiet day and night.

Fox. Hawk md Cat.

Foxes are not easily domesticated.
They are distrustful creatures and al
ways pine for freedom, but in rare In
stances reynard loses his wildness and
responds after fashion of his own to
human kindness. OF such a one daily
paper tells pretty story.
Ned is a tame fox so well trained
and of such good intentions that he
will not touch any of the poultry on
the place. Chickens feed near his box,
and he acts as If he liked their society.
Doubtless they serve to render his con-
finement less irksome.
One morning recently large chicken
hawk swooped down and caught a
chicken close to the box where the fox
sprang out and caught the hawk by the
leg The bird released the chicken and
settled Its free claw deep into the fox's
nose. Reynard squealed, but he hung
to the hawks leg.
At this moment a cat that had be-
come attached to the fox heard Ned's
cries of pain, and rushing out she
sprang upon the hawk and clawed its
back. That made the hawk let go the
fox's nose very suddenly to protect
itself from this new foe. 1t tried to
claw the cat, and while thus engaged
the fox set his teeth into its head and
shook the life out of it.
Soon after this Ned and the cat were
seen lying down side by side in great
amity and contentment.

TO CURE coRNs.

A Few Remedies, Cheap and Simple,
and Involving No Danger.
When the feet are pressed into tight
fitting shoes-high heels make the
pressure greater-by adding friction
we have a needlelike point formed In
the skin, and the greater the pressure
the deeper the point will grow. The
best preventive remedy known is real
ly to go barefooted, but since this is
not considered ethical in civilized life |
will give a few simple remedies which
may be of some value for the afflicted:
First.-Place on the corn a piece of
cold moist linen folded several times,
wrap 1t up in dry linen, then go to bed.
With this treatment the hard epider-
mis- swells up, and after six or eight
hours the outer covering of the corn
can be removed with a dull knife.
When this treatment has been followed
for three or four days, a small needle
like growth (the corn can be extracted
without pain or bleeding By washing
the feet often in cold water the tender
place will heal rapidly. After getting
rid of this corn it is well to wear shoes
which are neither too large nor too
small so as to avoid excessive pressure
or friction.
Second.-In place of the linen a crust
Of bread soaked in vinegar may be ap-
piled.
Third.-The best application is to
soak whole onion twenty-four hours
In vinegar, then apply one of the layers
of the onion to the corn and keep 1t In
place by a bandage through the night.
After repeating this procedure few
times the corn can be removed without
any trouble. By either of these simple
applications this troublesome agent
can be removed without any danger of
blood poison and free of charge. st.

PanEs of Nostalgia.

The New Man at West Point and the
Pangs of Nostalgia.
The new man at West Point has one
misfortune to endure throughout the
first few weeks of his course-he must
suffer the pangs of inconsistencies. He
has entered upon a course of disci-
pline quite unlike anything in his ex-
berience. Every act of his daily life
is regulated by an infexible system.
He has no friend at hand; the word
sympathy seems to be unknown.
Older cadets look on, understand, pity,
but give no sign. H. Irving Hancock
says In Life at West Point"
1t is common sight for cadet cor
poral, going into the room of ''plebe,"
to find him seated at his table, pen In
hand and sheet of paper before him,
staring blankly at the paper or the
wall. The cadet corporal takes in the
scene before him.
"Homesick, mister2" he asks
eyes, STRIP replies the plebe, looking
shamefaced.
Sure sign new mans homesick

Ing his resignation" rejoins the cor
poral cOmposedly.
The plebe, wondering how it is that
the cadet corporal is such mind read
er, flushes, looks at the sheet before
him and slowly tears 1t up.
That's right!' says the corporal.
Then, with a momentary touch Of sym
pathy, he goes on: Don't get down
in the mouth, mister. I've been
through the nostalgia drill myself.
It's tough on you, but when you've
been here a little while there's no IN
ducement on earth that could make
you leave of your own choice. Brace
up! Inconsistencies hits 'em all MT
first"
Then the corporal glances about and
falls at once into the brusque tone Of
the instructor.
''See here, mister" he remarks,
"'policing' is one of the most important
duties of the soldier Your shoe brush
is out of place Haven't l told you
where it belongs? And you cap is on

So he goes on with list Of criti-
cisms which at once reduce life to a
practical level The plebe has enough
to do for the next half hour in tidy

he is not tempted to resume his letter.
