Tom Benton in the Senate l put

has the latest news: The queen,
Victoria has another baby!"

Like every man who values the
look Of his clothes King Edward car
ries very little in his pockets besides
a handkerchief. In his waistcoat
pocket he carries gold pencil case,
q cigar cutter, little pass key,
gold watch. carefully regulated by
Greenwich time, and half a dozen
sovereigns. In his coat pocket he
carries tiny notebook and in the
winter he puts his gloves In the
pocket Of his topcoat. This king
never carries a cigar-case, except q
gold case which holds one cigar, but
he always has q small box of To-

MANY strokes 1t takes, and when finally
he arrives on the green he puts the ball

general he uses the same trains as the

often the case In the South, there il no

expressed his appreciation Of some OF
