The King a Splendid Fellow

He had tremendous self will but he had such

and owes a vast deal to his mother, a woman of
extraordinary tact and the ability of winning
cause. In her early widOwhood she went to Bar

and anarchy. She drove through the streets to her
hotel and not man raised his hat; she was an
Austrian and foreigner; royal ruler she repre-

The little King had a violent temper, but great
love and admiration for his mother, to whom he
has never been unkind. On one occasion | was at
the palace OF Mramar at San Sebastian. The King
loved to go out in the afternoon to drive with his
little sisters; but the day had come when he had
reached age when etiquette demanded that he

Presently | found that Queen Natalie had come

were arrested after a plot to assassin

When the President starts for his
customary afternoon drive in the open
vehicle, which he prefers. no one is
permitted to linger about the drive

time is set for the departure. which is
changed daily so nobody outside of
the guardians of the White House may
know when to expect the President to
