It was while he was doing his first hunting not far from Windsor Castle. He and d number Of and they got into the estate of farmer named Hedges. Hedges objected to any one coming into his fields. He penned the boys in and demanded fine of a sovereign for damages before he would let them out. One of the boys told him that he was detaining the future King of England, but he replied:
 'I don't care for that. Prince or no Prince I will have my money"
 The farmer had a pitchfork in his hands and the boys naturally concluded that the safest thing was to pay, and pay they did.
 Only A Boy After All.
 I might give score of stories about the kings boyhood, but none of them are different from those told of the average boy all the world over. As far as can see the King was a very ordinary baby and by no means an extraordinary boy. For all his wonderful education he has done nothing to speak of in literature or statesmanship. and 1t remains to be seen whether he will be more than ordinary as a King.

He danced the hornpipe. and sang American songs, the little Prince of Wales watching him. seated in his favorite oaken chair
 Now and then Prince Edward went out to see the ships, and when he arrived at the age of he was made a midshipman and a uniform was given him.
