ONION July l3.-dls grace, the
present Duke Of wellington, who
Is the possessor also OF some dozen

lilies called on the king the other day

tlon bestowed the Strathneldsaye es-
tates in Berkshire on his great ancestor,
the Iron Duke, 1t was decreed that
thereafter the holder Of the title should
make good his tenure of the property
BY presenting to his sovereign, on the
anniversary Of Waterloo, a miniature
REPRODUCTION Of the British and French
flags displayed on that memorable field.
The reproductions cost very little TO
make up, but though through them the
duke gets his land at considerably less
than "A dirt cheap rate the ceremony or
presenting these bits of bunting is one
that he would be very glad to forego.
This because the attendant ceremony
compels him TO emerge trom the CONF
parative seclusion IN which he loves to
dwell and to nit for a brief hour or two
across the stage Of public life, an act
(which Inevitably leads to comparisons
between himself and the famous soldier
to whom he owes his fortune, honors
and titles.
The duke Is painfully conscious Of the
fact that he is a living example of the
limitations Of heredity. There is nothing
great about him and he knows IL and
makes no pretensons of living up to his
name and ancestral fame. He was 81
years old when In 1900 his brother
Henry the third duke, died without is
sue, and he succeeded TO the many Dig
mites and seat IN that chamber Of
titled medlOcrities, the house Of lords.

grant which the nation had bestowed on
the first and thus far only great Duke
Of Wellington. payment Of Il ceased on
the death Of the third duke. Thus IL
came about when the present duke took
possession Of the family property OF
about 10000 acres. he was deprived OF
this source Of income, With consider
ably less means than had been enjoyed
by his predecessors he was further en-
barrassed by the obligation to pay al
lowances out Of the estate to the sur
ylylng widows Of the second and third
dukes.

patients that he found he would either

colllery or abandon the practise Of
bloodless surgery. He decided 10 stick
to the latter and I'm a rough way, by
means Of such books as he could get
