A Kings Adventure.


King Victor Emmanuel Of italy had a
curious adventure. the other day in IN
automobile tour in the Roman province.
At Configui his car was stopped, and g
summons for furious driving was served
upon his chauffeur, Giuseppe Farrulli. At
the famous falls, near Terni, the King,
after admiring the scene, distributed
quantity of newly minted silver pieces
among the pea SAINTS. The people, Who
had never seen the new cofnag angriiy
gathered around the King, shouting that
the money was counterfeit. Well, SAID
the King, eff the coins are false, SO is
your King Do you not recognize your
1ling?'' Thereupon an ex-soldier, VINO
had served in Rome, stepped to the front,
and after a good look at the young SOW
ereign took off his ragged cap and called
three cheers for Victor Emmanuel, which
were given with much enthusiasm Some
papers In telling the story express dls-
pleas at the Kings iMprudence IN thus
mixing with the people. AS a matter OF
fact, the police charged with safeguarding
his royal person are sometimes driven to
the verge of despair by the Kings reck-
lessness. He is continually giving ms
special police the slip, for, next to- DOCKS
and his wife and child, his greatest delight
is to mix unrecognized in the CROWD OF
his subjects-New York Tribune.

IN a recent letter to. the Philadelphia
Press on the endeavor of Cecil Rhodes to
1 promote a worldwide alliance of the Eng
disappearing peoples by endowing schol-
arships in English universities, Professor
Goodwin Smith says:
The direct effect, however, Of Mr..

or less number of promising American
youths from their country. My opinion
has been some tinles asked as to the ex-

Canadians to be educated in England. I
i have always given it in the negative.
holding it to be best for a youth to be
brought up and TO have his ideas and
sympathies formed in the social and po-
1itical elements in which his life is to be
spent. MY opinion would be the same
even il I believed that the education now
given at Oxford or Cambridge were SUI
/ perior to that which is given at a first
class American university. But this do
s not believe. L believe that the first-class
American universities. though differing
