they were met, not long ago, by an Amer

WASHED THE FLAG.

The following anecdote about our gra-
cious king will be new to most people:
When Prince of Wales he was travelling in
the Highlands of Scotland incognito one
day, and was very anxious that his iden-
tity should remain hid. Imagine his feel
ings, therefore, on coming to a little
township, to find an enormous flag flying
on the little schoolhouse. Feeling ceyta in
they must have got wind Of his arrival, he
nevertheless sent an attendant forward to
make guarded inquiries. A little later this
gentleman returned with the cheering
news that the lady in the schoolhouse was
spring cleaning, and after washing the
flag had merely hung it up to dry.
