it is thc personal side Of the ruler that
counts for a great deal. if not for the
most.
For many years the king was merely the
Prince of Wales and as such lie had more
liberty of action than after he was
crowned. During this period he went
around more promiscuously, and while
he was a young man he set a rather
swift pace that taxed the smart set to
keep UP with. He was always anxious

and sporting people, and admired the

Eondled Indian Babies.

1.-The most interesting event to my
mind was when two of the little Indian
babies were sent to present a bunch OF
flowers to the queen They toddled up
and almost fell down making a bow. and
Alexandra took the flowers and sat down
on the asphalt and chucked them under
the chin and talked to them. They did
not know what queen was, of course,
but they knew she was "A nice, pretty
woman, even if they could not under
stand her. and they had quite little
family party there for few minutes.
THE queen PASSED the flowers over TO
Sir Francis Knollys. who added them to
his collection with a look of resignation.

He applauded the best of the ring riders
and when it came to the bucking horses

After the show the general public was
kept out of the Indian village and the
king and his party went around and ell
joyed themselves. The king talked over
old times with Col. Cody and he had a
few words with Johnny Baker. who by
the way had a black eye at the time

1t was when the all-American polo team

for the game. Naturally preparations
were made for them again. There was a
whole suite of rooms specially decorated
for them in big cottage adjoining the
