tremely delicate and dangerous
operation was performed by Surgeon

DISLIKED HIS MEDICINE

PotionS and Pills

The secret is now out why the wives
of Abdul Hamid left him one fine night
without noise or scandal The women
were reproached for having abandoned
the fallen sultan, but their explanation
of their action is sufficiently satisfac-
tory, says the Throne and Country.
Long before he was deposed. Abdul
Hamid, fearing that an attempt might
be made to poison him. compelled his
womenfolk to taste the food before 1t
was served to him. Latterly, when he
was ILL., he made them taste all the
medicine prescribed for him. Every day
they had to take potions and pills.
This doctoring against their will was
too much for them They became i'll
and so they fed not from the patient.

Anecdotes Give Insight to Inner Life of King
Edward and His Family
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

NEW YORK, May 7.-Of decorations
given for merit Edward was very jeal-
Gus. He had a keen appreciation of
their value and would not have them
made common by too generous a dis
tribution. During the Boer war, when
Victoria Crosses were being recon-
mended somewhat freely, he had a
hint conveyed to Sir Edward at the
foreign office that the standard of hero
ism was not to be placed too low.
So many communications were made
for the bestowal of the distinguished
service order that he dropped another
hint.
The result was that many D. S. O's
were bought off from the volunteer
soldiers of that time by giving them
commissions in the army in place of
the order.
BY one tactful shot he saved over
crowding of the new order and OBJ
tained officers of a sort of which there
was dearth. It was also his sug
gestion that as far as possible the
commissions offered should be in the
army corps. If necessary. that being
the only branch of the army in which
officers can live on their pay.
VICTORIA SPANKED HIM WELL
AS child Edward we'll knew when
ne was 10 De SpdHhSO- II WAS the
fashion in those days Edward re-
ceived his first when he was about 5
years old, at least 1t was the first that
really hurt. Victoria had a heavy
hand when she liked, plump as it was,
but the spanking occurred in Scotland.
While the queen was receiving the
prominent Scots of Aberdeen on board
the royal yacht the little prince dis
covered that the gold lace tassels on
his mothers sofa were only sewed on
and could be loosened with little per-
severance. So he persevered, even
after his mother had told him to quit
in language becoming a queen on such
an occasion. And when the tassel came
off she swiftly hoisted him over her
knee iE the manner of the most or
dinary mortals and the little boy, who
was to become a great king, beloved
just as Justify as any infant of lowly
degree.
MADE HIM APOLOGIZE To SERVANT
When the king was boy he was full

of merry pranks. His father rather
encouraged them in him. But Queen
victoria was SO stern a disciplinarian
she would almost have had her children
little Puritans
One day Albert Edward and his
chum, his eldest sister, "Puss," after
ward empress of Germany came upon
housemaid scrubbing some stairs
NSirdie jumped upon the girls back,
nearly rolling her backward down the
stairs, and "Puss" sent the bucket of
water entirely down. The queen or
dered that they apologize or go to bed
supperless. Birdie apologized, but
Puss" said that she was not hungry
so would not. And so then the king
remarked. We'll. 'Puss,' if l can say
sorry, surely you can. 1t does not
matter in girl
FOND OF PET CANARY
King Edward had a pet canary OF
which he was very fond. IT was given
him by a child, and it sang delight
fully. The child was no one Edward
knew. She sent her gift to him
through the mail, with the simple mes
sage that she loved him because he
loved the poor, and so she was sending
him her bird because it was so good a
singer he would be sure to like it and
it was all she had that she could send
him.
Edward treasured the child's pet and
soon made ii so tame that it would
stand on his hand and peck at a piece
of sugar held in his lips. One day NJ
Cambon, the French ambassador. called
while Edward was playing with the
canary. Lord Knollys remarked to the
queen: His majesty is very much oc-
cupied. He has an ambassador on one
hand and canary on the other"
FRIEND OF ROSA BONHEUR
Rosa Bonheur, the great painter of
animals, was a great friend of King
Edward.
When prince of Wales he frequently
used to visit her studio in Paris and
sit on a low stool watching her paint.
But one day the artist gave him a
shock that made him nearly tumble off
his seat Looking up suddenly from
her work, Rosa Bonheur asked him in
her simplest tones, "How's your
mother" 1t is believed to have been
the only time Edward ever heard Queen
Victoria so referred to.
