PARIS, Dec. 6.-kiags and emperors
have q strange way OF entertaining
themselves and very queer notions Of
what a good time is In their eyes.
royal good time consists in shooting
pheasants and rabbits.
Now. this doesn't convey to you tn"
least idea OF What sport means in royal
preserves. You must not for moment
suppose that sovereigns and royal
princes take healthy exercise, tramp
about the country in search Of game and
c.everly shoot it when they come across
it.
Not bit CT it.
Thousands OF tr:Te rabbits and pleas

Of their guns. a9a ra5y simply massacre
the game.
Thus it is recorded that the German
Emperor. while the guest OF Lord Ions
dale at Lowther Castle shot ninety-four
rabbits IN twenty minutes.
A few days later. in Windsor Forest.

Of England his guest. the King Of
Portugal. and a few more. brought down
over 400 pheasants in the afternoon

30 pounds. I would suggest that. for
l.
robust Majesty and the poor little birds

The only suggestion Of huuor about
the whole th:rg is that these royalties
are either patrons or presidents OF th'
Royal Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals.

IT IS a great honor. but no Joke. to

British peers and commoners. one must
