WAS NOT A GREAT KING.
Few Things to Praise in Life Of Viii
liam w,

CIV nln9S 10 FFdlSe IN Lie VI WIZ
A biography of King William w.
of Great Britain, uncle of Queen Vic
&oria, was published recently. He
spent most of his life at sea, being in
mis- sixty-fifth year when he became
king in 1880 Robert Burns, years
before, had dubbed him Prince Tar
ry Breeis." His bographer thus
describes him: Small in stature,
burly, with t1orid, sanguine counte-
nance and head shaped like a pine
apple, his majesty was rough, garrul-
GUS and diffuse in speech, bustling in
his movements, undetermined in
character, without much intelligence,
but with great good nature and well
disposed toward all men," He want
ed to call himself King Henry TX,
but finally it was decided that he
should be known as William w., this
resolutin being mainly due to the
superstition Of the English bishops,
who remembered an old prophecy to
the effect that as Henry WILL had
pulled down monks and cells, so
Henry TX. would pull down bishops
and bells"

And vowed that I'd forget her.
