LONDON. March 19-Cspeciai to the Pub
fishers Press)-"No man is more deserv-
ing Of the highest honors the city can
afford him, than Mr.. Roosevelt There is
nothing an Engllshman delights I'm more
than gripping the hand Of a friend and no
truer friend have we than the great
American statesman" This was the state
ment made to me the other day by Sir
John Knill, lord mayor of London. in speak
ing OF the reception OF former President
Roosevelt when he arrives I'm England in
May
This is the feeling towards the great
hunter in all classes Of society There is
no doubt that the strenuous one OF Saga
more Hill has caught the British fancy as
no other foreigner has in recent years He
appeals to the British mind and is regarded
with feeling rarely accorded to any,save
britians own great ones. His reception,
therefore, will be enthusiastic and of ma
ture to warm the cookies OF his heart.
Speaking further OF the city's participa-
tion in the reception, Sir John Knlll said:
MY first suggestion on learning Of Mr..
Roosevelt's intention to visit London was
that should entertain him at the MansIon
House, but very soon realized that such
a reception would be on too small a scale
altogether You may depend upon Il that
the reception at Guildhall will be as hearty
and brilliant as the city Of London knows
how to make It,"

has seriously put America and it's heiresses
out of the running. Within the past few
months three young gentlemen have trlum-
phantly returned from the land of the
squatter with three more or less blushinR
brides, the daughters OF the Aforesaid
squatters, and whose incomes average
about $500 a year The young gentlemen
return with more than this, for they bring
the joyous message that there are plenty
more of the same sort to be found, who are
simply waiting for an English husband
to carry them off. All that is necessary so
they say to their admiring relatives and
young men aoquaintances, Is a fairly decent
exterior, public school manner, plenty OF
clothes, working knowledge of lawn
tennis and the waltz ability to hand tea
and cake around without wreckage, a few
introductions, and last, but most i'm
portant of all, no visible means Of support.
Literature for Young Princes.
The supervision which is exercised over
the choice OF literature by the younger

up at his mentor with an nquiring gaze.

head His purchases were restricted to the
more staid-lookng six-penny magazines.
