Did you ever drop in of an evening
and try to play pool under a crossfire
from the chairwarmers?
It's the limit.
1t has golf slapped to a standstill,
and pony polo isn't one, two, nine.
From the moment you reach for your
cue the sofa-pounders cut loose and
chin you to call-down.
"Breaw 'em easy, now!" says old
Thirsty Bill.
All the afternoon he's been sitting up
with some ice and bottle of Wilson.
That's all.
He has to close one eye and squint
the other when he looks at you, but
he's as wise as weasel
If you stood him up he wouldn't know
the IA ball from the cuspidor
One of those old dubs that's nsver
happy unless he's teasing his throat
with booze or talk.
Then Red Necktie rolls his barrel in
the shop and cuts conundrum:
"Why don't you play the s ball in the
side?"
Red Necktie only played one game
in his life and that was tag.
Somebody caught him then with the
goods, and all he has done since is cud-
die down in chair and tell people how
to make fancy with the cue.
Then the three Bixby Brothers
Shine, Polish and Glisten-start in to
write epigrams.
play the round BALI" suggests
Shine.
Chalk your feet and you won't slip!"
observes Polish.
play the yellow ball in the coy
corner!" chirps Glisten, and old Thirs-
ty Bill laughs so heartily over this
Pineroism that Glisten swells up and
buys Thirsty another tub.
Then Long-haired Lemuel crawls
under the ropes and begins to offer sug-
gestions in hoarse whisper.
Long-haired Lemuel won fifty-point
game once from the champion player
of Tioga County and ever since he's
been sitting up in the rack throwing
down hints to the slow walkers.
TRY the combination on the 7-ball
for the corner!" croaks Long-haired
Lemuel.
Now the gag is that from where Lem
uel sits you couldn't see the 7-ball with
the Lick telescope.
In hops Willie McSweet, the Village
Beauty.
Willie is the lad with the loft full of
light conversation, and Mama lets him
stay out till 9:15 every evening.
Willie travelled over the New York
Central once as far as Albany and when
he came home his fond parents had to
put baseball masks on his head, fore
and aft, to keep it from bursting.
"Ah!" says Willie; playing pool?"
NO" remarks Glisten, "they're put
ting up picket fence!" and old Thirsty

BRITISH PRINCESSEs ROYAL
Historic Precedents, Origin of the
Title and Some Bear
ers of It.

Nothing in the list of the birthday
jects more than the announcement that
the duchess Of Fife, the kings eldest
daughter will bear the style and title
of Princess Royal, and that the daugh-
ters of her royal highness will bear the
title of highness and the style of prin-
cess, states the London Telegraph.
The title of Princess Royal" is en-
deared to an older generation by the
fact that it was borne by che eldest of
Queen Victorias daughters, the deeply
loved and much lamented Empress
Frederick of Germany
1t is common error to suppose that
the title is only conferred upon a daugh-
ter of the reigning house if she happens
to be the first born child. This is not
the case. 1t has been conferred on the
eldest daughter of the house, whether
first born or not, whether born before
the accession of her parents to the
throne or after. Before the reign of
Henry VIII. the daughters of the SOW
ereign do not appear to have borne any
distinctive title save that of "the Lady
Margaret" or "the Lady Elizabeth" as
the case might be. But Henry VIII.
made more than one alteration in the
styles and titles of royalty. He was, for
instance, the first English sovereign
who bore the title of Majesty" his
predecessors being content with "Sov-
ereign Lord Highness." The step, how
ever, was taken probably to put himself
upon equal terms with his brother of
Spain, who was the first European mon
arch to style himself majesty. He also
caused his eldest daughter to be de-
scribed as Princess Mary"-the queen
who afterward came to be popularity
known by a less attractive designation.
It was not till the reign of Charles I.
that the kings eldest daughter was COM
monty called Princess Royal.
