the hunters who tore down their fences
and tramped over their fields and in
these experiences the fact that he was
the future king did not alter the case
a bit
On one occasion while Edward was
an undergraduate at Oxford he with
an equerry ran into an angry farmer
who was fourishing a pitchfork.
The equerry attempted to explain who
it was that was crossing the fields.
Prince or no prince" replied the far
mer I'll have a sovereign before you
pass"
The money was paid, and the prince
remarked afterward that "a determined
man could do wonders with a pitch
fork and a little persuasion.
From Oxford Edward went to Cam
bridge, residing at Madingley hall.
One day when the then prince was
returning on foot from Trinity college
to Madingiey, a heavy shower of rain
came on, to avoid which he rushed into
cottage. The woman of the house
CURLY invited him to be seated, and,
unconscious of his rank, chatted freely
with him. AS the rain did not abate,
he asked for the loan of an umbrella.
The woman handed him an old dilapi-
dated one with the remark that she had
a better one. The prince good humor-
eddy accepted the proffered umbrella
and went away.
little later a servant in livery ap-
peared al the door of the cottage. bear
ing in his hand the umbrella which he
returned to the woman with the thanks
of the prince for the use of 1t, and the
gift of sovereign for her civility.
Edward had a ready wit, which flash
ed out spontaneously to the delight of
any company he might be IN. On one
occasion some one was quoting Arthur
Roberts song, We Are a Happy Fam
lily, We Are, We Are. We Are" when
the king, without a moments t,lought,
replied with the happy parody, I'VE
Are a Royal Family, V.R., V.R., V.R"
An interesting story, told of Edward
when he was Ia, is TO be found in Gren-
ville's Memoirs" He had gone on a
visit to Paris with his parents and was
SO delighted with the Empress Eu-
geria that he asked her to allow him
to stay little longer. The kind en-
press. scarcely knowing what TO say
in reply, told him that his parents
would not be able TO spare him. oh
he replied, with a gush of boyish con-
fidence. there are six more of us at
home; that will not matter"

ANECDOTES OF EDWARD SHOWING
HIS KINDLY NATURE AND LIFE

How closely Edward followed sports
in different phases has been shown time
and again, but no single incident illus
| trated 1t better than the letter of con-
graduation he wrote to DR. W. c. Grace,
/ the cricket player who was marking
up sensational records in 1895. This
letter, written by Edwards secretary,
was as follows
Dear Sir: The prince of Wales has
watched with much interest the fine
/ scores which you continue to make in
| the great matches this year. He now
learns that you have beaten all records
by scoring 1000 runs during the first
month OF the cricket season, as we'll as
completing more than 100 centuries in
first class matches.
His royal highness cannot q low an
event of such interest to all lovers of
our national game to pass unnoticed
by him, and he has desired me to offer
you his congratulations upon this mag
nificent performance
AS an indication of the kings kindly
nature story is told of how he went
to the aid of a blind beggar trying to
cross the Pail Mall in the midst of
heavy traffic. AS soon as he observed
the plight OF the blind man he went to
his rescue, took him by the arm, n I'd
led him safely across the street.
The incident was forgotten until some
time afterwards, when a massive silver
inkstand was received at Marlborough
house bearing this inscription:
ITO the Prince of Wales: From one
who saw him conduct a blind beggar
across the street. In memory of a
kind and Christian act
Once while travelling in Paris as the
prince of Wales the king went into a
picture gallery, and while busy sight
seeing was observed by two Americans.
One offered to wager that he was the
prince of Wales and a bet of $40 was
made 1t happened that the remarks
of the betters had been overhead by
the prince and the members of his
party Soon one of the two men APP
preached one of the companions of the
prince and inquired who he was.
The earl of Chester" was the reply
The American returned to his com
panion and admitted that he had lost
the bet He was the winner, but he
was the victim OF a joke on the part OF
the prince who was also the earl Of
Chester.
