EEaT0 is generally regarded
Gessss - as a colorless individ-
ual and has even been
called aun he has not been without
distinguishing traits. For one thing
he Is good sailor, the most extensive
traveller Of all the royal personages OF
Europe, a capable business man, q de-
voted hunter and fisherman, a model
husband and father, a quiet chap with
out fuss and feathers and withal on
occasion a wit The exhibitions of his
humor have been rare, but that is not
wholly drawback. Here is one story
that illustrates their quality.
Sample of His Humor.
He was present at one of the famous
Savage club dinners, and, as is usual
on such occasions, menu cards were
circulated about the table for auto
graphs. When a numerously signed
card reached the then prince, with
generous space at the top for his sig
nature, he ran his eye over the names
upon 1t. Among them were Sir Henry
Irving, James Bryce and Winston
Churchill, and down near the bottom
in q cramped handwriting was the au-
tograph OF Hall Game.
az am very glad to see that" the
prince is reported to have said. "Now
at least 1 can truthfully say I've read
something Hall Game has written"
He put his autograph on the card,
and as he passed it on he remarked:
ST wish Mistress Corelli were here and
had signed the card. Then 1 could
stop having to say almost daily that 1
had never read anything she wrote"
In his early days as Prince of Wales
it was his custom to stroll through the
mall of ST. James park, which adjoins
the rear gate of Electromagnetic House.
But one night he suddenly changed
his usual course and turned into Pail
Mall, to see before him stout, bris-
ting gentleman, plainly from the coun-
try, looking perplexedly about him.
Young man, you can earn half a
sovereign if you will take me to the
Criterion" said the gentleman. THE
policemen here try to direct me. but

Meeting Boston with adjoining mu-

Meeting Boston with adjoining mu-
inequalities.
The commission finds that Boston
mas no ground for complaint on ac-
count of it's expenditures for bridges
under the existing agreements between
itself and Quincy, Milton, Dedham'
Brookline, WATERFOWL and Cambridge.
1t does find, however. that Boston
is unjustly compelled to bear the en-
tire cost of the Winthrop, Chelsea
street Meridian street and Maiden
bridges, and practically the entire
cost of the Chelsea bridge, and that
therefore it should be provided as
soon as possible that the city be re-
lieved of a part of this expense.
1t is also suggested that the city
should be reimbursed by the com
munities which receive benefits from
tho use of water bridges within the
city limits and that larger proper
ton of the cost Of construction and
repair of bridges should be paid by
railroad ard street railway corpora
tons than has been customary.
Mayor Fitzgerald is advised to pc
tition for legislation authorizing the
supreme judicial court, or the Supe-
rior court, to appoint commissioners
to apportion among the cities and
towns, which receive special BENEFITS
from such bridges. the cost of con-
structiol, repair and maintenance.
