The marquis was one of the cleverest
.raconteurs In British society No one can
tell a good story better than he The
marvel really is where he gets his stories.
He always has some fresh anec-
dote to tell One afternoon. at the ST.
James Club, a brother diplomat said 70
him:
Where on earth do you get all your
stories. marquis? I have 10 tell my
best ones dozens of times for lack Of
supply.
''Ah. my dear fellow" replied de Sow
eral. that is just il. You tell stories;
tell facts, and every day brings with it
new facts"
And really Il was wonderful in how
amusing a manner the marquis could pre-
sent any simple fact. But amusing man
that he was and much as his ready wit
was appreciated by the royal family. he
was far from being mere court Jester.
No one appreciated better than the late
King the value of the marquis accurcte
knowledge and keen insight into diplo-
matte affairs in Europe, and the marc ais,
unofficialIy, of course, always was ready
10 place his knowledge at the services OF
the late King.
Although the marquis also stood In nigh
favor with the present monarch, il is
doubtful, perhaps, if he would have con-
tinued 10 remain at the Court OF ST.
James very much longer, even If the
revolution in his country had not brought
about his retirement. King George be-
longs To a different generation from the
marquis, and the ideas and sentiments
that prevail at the new court are different
from those with which the Portuguese
Minister was familiar. His retirement
therefore, however much he may regret
the circumstances which have brought 1t
about, comes at a moment when probably
he was glad to be able 10 relieve himself
of his official position.
While discussing the court OF the late
King Edward and the present court
there was another parsonage. though not
connected with the diplomatic corps. Of
whom the late King was inordinately
fond. and that was Sir Frederick Treves,
who went through the unique experience.

two kings A few years ago he used the

who, in 1902. performed that famous OPP
Grafton on King Edward. He then told
the King. when the operation was def
nitely decided upon. that he gladly would
give e1ooO0 sterling to escape the duty
OF performing 1t.
Sir Frederick recently retired from prac-
tice, because he was really tired of taking
out an appendix every morning. He was
called upon TO perform the operation as
regularly as he had his breakfast. and,
as he put it. far more regularly than ne
had his luncheon. for often he had to
lunch in his carriage as he went his
rounds of visits.

KILLS BEAR WITH GUN.

George Lawrence wears the belt
for bravery among all the numerous
bear hunters in Curry. While out
for a bear hunt with Elmer Miller
and John Ostrander last Saturday,
George had all the fun he anticipat-
ed. The dogs started large bear
and ran it several hours, finally
bringing it to bay in Pistol river
George, who was fleeter than his
companions, beat them to where the
dogs were baying it. His nerve
however steady 1t was, was better
than his judgment, for he missed the
bear and laying the fault to the gun
decided at once that the rifle would
be a better club than gun, so he wad.
ed out to where his bearship was and
dealt him deadly blow over the head
withe the gun barrel. Mr. Brui1 sue
cumbed to the blow and George car
ried his gun home in his haversack
there being more pieces than he
could carry in his hands.
