The heart OF London Is surrounded

OF two miles from Charlng Cross, near

brought into the city by means OF tube
railways and the bad air pumped out
by the same channels. has not as yet

it happens, the pride in race and coun-
try which these old irlvers feel, their
respect for royalty and government
represent pretty fairly the highest pa
triotic spirit of England's lower middle
class whom misguided foreigners some
times pity. There Is a sturdiness and
Independence about them which marks
them as belonging to d ruling people,
and, what is yet moce to the point,
their respect for their sovereign is
like an extension of their own self
respect. They speak of the king as IL
he were an elder brother, the head OF
their family, whom they affectionately
revere.
