Author Tells Story of Dead Nom
arch's Visit to Isle OF Man.
During a visit to the Isle of Man,
where first had the honor to come
to close quarters with him, he took
obvious pleasure in the freedom with
which the people who surrounded his
person spoke to him. Hall Caine says
In the New York Herald.
! remembered that one of our COM
pany said, pointing to the little gray
town of Rumsey. which In few hours
had become transfigured into an orr
entail city, under the blaze of every
available scrap OF bunting.
This beats coronation day in Lon
don, your majesty"
The King smiled and gracefully al
lowed himself to agree.
There were no police with him that
day, no detectives and hardly any es-
cort-only gentleman in light bowler,
two ladies in sailor hats, with few
carriages full of friends behind them
and number of bicycle journalists
scudding at their side. It was a charm
ing picture-a picture probably with
out parallel in any foreign country.
1t was the picture of a sovereign who
felt absolutely safe in the love and
protection Of the people over whom he
ruled.
II trust we have not tired you to
death, SIR" said.
He answered:
1T has been simply delightful. I've
enjoyed 1t all immensely"
The Kings memory was an extra
ordinary gift. Pointing to monu-
ment on top Of hill, one of our party
said:
THAT is Albert Hill, sir. The tower
IL Albert Tower, so called after a
picture Of the prince consort's visit to
Rumsey in 1S47."
Il remember perfectly" said the
King. II was on the yacht with the
Queen, but was only years of age
and the Queen was Ill, so I did not
come ashore"
Perhaps you remember, sir, what
happened when the prince consort land
ed"
Il do. He had come Unexpectedly.
There was nobody to receive him and
local barber took him to the top OF
the hill" A memory that retains an
incident of such little moment can
never have failed Edward VII. in re-
'ation to greater events of his life

An old doctor was operated on in q

was that Foxy Grandpa had no

Japanese 10 Harde eat 10 Learn.

The Japanese language Is claimed
to be the hardest of all to learn.
Even the Japanese find 1t hard, and
several American army officers have
found 1t impossible to master It. It
takes the Japanese child seven years
to learn the essential parts Of the
alphabet. and one must become IA
miliar with 214 signs to learn this
simple part Of the language alone.
The 214 signs serve as the English
initial letters in our alphabet. To
be able to read any of the higher
class of Japanese newspapers one
must be the master of from $500 to
5000 ideographs-Albany Journal.
