by his side. Several minutes elapsed,
however, before the king and queen
came in sight of those gathered about
the throne. Suddenly "Vivat Alexan-
dra!" was shouted by the boys of
Westminster, and the queen, walking
slowly to the left of the throne,
gained her chair and knelt at silken
prize dieu, her magnificent train of
cloth of gold being lifted out of her
way by six scarlet-coated pages.
Kings Approach Delayed.
Two or three minutes later came the
hoarse cry from the Westminster
boys of "Viva rex Edwardus!" with
blasts from trumpets. Yet there was
another wait. ''What has become of
the king?" was asked by people who
were shut oRfrom sight of the nave.
The queen waited patiently, the organ
ceased and then resumed, there was
another fanfare of trumpets, another
chorus of "vivats" and King Edward
appeared and walked to his chair in
front of the throne, bowling to the
queen as he passed, and then knelt
down in prayer. After removing his
somewhat unbecoming cap his majesty
stood up and the arch bishop of Canter-
bury, in a trembling voice, read the

Administration of the Oath.
The administration of the oath fol-

chair, the archbishop asked: "Sir, is
your majesty willing to. take. the
oath?" The king answered in firm,
strong tones: II am willing" etc., his
replies being easily heard high up in
the triforium near the roof. Then
king signed the oath. He did not ad-
vance to the altar. but sat in the chair
he had occupied since the service be-
gan. While the choir sang "Come,
Holy Ghost, Our Souls INSPIRE" the
king remained seated and the queen
stood up.
The Amounting Ceremony.

The Iron Age says a Texas citizen
has sued the Santa Fe road for $25, 300
damages, alleging that his wife and
child contracted a severe cold while
travelling between Paris and inertia
distance of so miles. The Age sug-
gests that railway company that will
allow even one of its passengers to be
attacked by severe cold while on it's
premises ought to pay round sum to
the husband or father. But $25, 300
seems large tax for one, or even two
colds, and Texan courts may cut out
the $500. Possibly they may cut out
the $4,000 also.

able to rise until the king assisted

Prince of Wales at Kings Feet.
The next person to pay homage to

who knelt until King Edward held
out his hands, which he kissed after
touching the crown as sign of
fealty. The prince of Wales then
started to return to his seat, when

arms around him and kissed him.

sample of it. Hamilton w. Mabie

his head out Of the window Of his

train was moving out Of the Jersey
City station. Instead of succeeding
in his purpose, however, he found
that he had kissed a strange lady
standing on the platform at the next
station. This is one OF the New

the Boston Herald suggests, the
only improper thing about it is that
