Hall Gaines Pen
Portrait Of King

LONDON, May S.-Hall Caine fur
nishes the following pen portrait OF
King Edward VII.
IN the language or the scripture,
There is a prince ano' a great man
fallen this day in Israel The life
that influenced in an untold degree
the national existence has come to an
end. He who long so amply filled the
highest place in the public eye, shared
the common lot of humanity and will
soon be laid soundly to rest as a poor
peasant whose ideas never went be-
yond his daily task. TO make any sum
mary Of the characteristics Of so ex-
allied a parsonage may be a dangerous
task, but also a proud duty.
Edward VII assumed none of the
retired state of an eastern monarch.
II there is any medical term that de-
notes the exact opposite of neuras-
thentic temperament with it's deep
fits of depression, ana its flights Of
exaltation, that word should consin-
err best to describe the temperament
of the King as his face and figure and
voice expressed it,
MANS voice perhaps, is the most
direct expression of soul, and it must
be admitted that the Kings voice,
especially in later life, mad not always
most pleasing effect. He spoke with
certain cultural note, an impression
which, however, speedily wore away
as one knew him better and listened tn
him longer.
CAS- a public speaker l should de.
scribe the King as nearly always
strong and effective. He lacked OF
course, the mellifiuous flow of Glad
stones eloquence or the power of Lord
Roseberys rhetoric, but his delivery
was always firm His sentences were
well considered and strong.
What struck me on various occa
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-05-28

sions was the entire absence Of ner-
vousness which the greatest of orators
constantly experience Even in a King
it would have been natural that the
presence of vast masses of humanity
and pageantry of great occasions
would produce SOM emotional effect
that would express itself in his volc-
and manner, but never at any time
did l see any trace of this in Edward
VII.
I'm his conversation the King gave
the impression Of an extraordinary
range. 1t was the conversation of a
man who had lived full and varied
life. 1t had characteristics which have
never beet seen to the same degree
in any other person. There was no.
thing approaching a monologue in it.
The King rarely spoke more than a
no reticence. His talk was a contin-
uOus flow, often Of questions.
The Kings was always free and
unrestrained, but he never lost for
one moment the certain suggestions
of consciousness OF the exalted height
of his rank. 1t may be truly said Of
the King that he found life good He
loved to live This will surely be
counted among the causes of his great
popularity.
"He was a kindly paTtaker of honest
pleasures. Hence. he liked good din
ner and very good cigar, smoking
the big ones, which he kept in large
case in his pocket, and offered to his
immediate friends, while silver box
containing cigars of a lighter kind
were passed around the table.
Although l had little or no oppor-
tunity to observe the King in his do
nestle character, l shouldn't hesitate
tc say he had his marked characters
tics as son, husband, father, and
grandfather"

A PRIZE FIGHT AND THE CLERGY

PRIZE FlGH AND I16 CLERGY,
We notice with interest the anxiety
of the reverend clergy in various parts
of the country to put obstacles in the
way of the prospective engagement of
Mr.. James J. Jeffries and Mr.. Arthur
johnson (colorcd), which is expected
to occur at San Francisco on the
Fourth of July. the preparations for
this meeting are going on very well,
and take a large amount of space IN
the papers which might easily be de-
voted to more deleterious uses. Mr..
Jeffries seems to be renewing his
youth to good purpose, ana purging
his system Of the traces of alcoholic
liberties taken in recent years. We
confess to some curiosity to learn how
far he can turn the hands of the clock
backward. If the fight was to be in
New York, We might join the revar
end brethren who are stirring to de-
precate it, for prize fights are a good
deal out Of date, and respectable COM
munities now frown upon them. But
III San Francisco cares to offer hos
FATALITIES to Jeffries and Johnson
and the laws do not interfere, we are
not disposed to NEEDLE. The way to
see the evil of prize fights is to have
them We had them hereabouts until
we learned better. Why grudge to
San Francisco a like opportunity 20
learn by experience the inexpediency
of the inexpedient?
To our mind, when the Governor of
Tennessee lately nullified the action
of the courts of his State in the case
of Cooper, his political enemy, a vastly
more scandelous thing happened than
is in prospect in San Francisco on
July a, We read that the ministers
of Cincinnati have passed resolutions
about the Jeffries-J Johnson fight.
They might find bigger game at home.
Have they anything to say about Gov
ernor rson?--Harper's Weekly.

Taking The Census As TO 5 Fif ENGLISH

UUI LWULIuI
In the Popular Science Monthly Dr.
Charles II. Super makes bold to ques-
lion the time.honored statement that
Shakaspeare's vocabulary of 5000
words is the largest used by any Eng.
fish author. If there was = concord
ance to SCOTS novels, he thinks. it
would show a larger number of words,
because Scott treats of more different
subjects. It is possible, but not nee
essarily true; one may write of many
subjects with much the same vocabul-
airy. The number of words used by
an author is largely determined by
his subject, to be sure, and partly by
the number of words he knows; bat
it is a matter of temperament and
mental habit. One writer may use
large vocabulary from sheer pedantry
ransacking the dictionary for little
used wor0s. That was not the way
with Shakespeare, whose wealth of
vocables is evidently due to the vivac-
ity with which his mind worked, en-
hellishing his theme will all the re-
sources the language offers and even
inventing words when needful. 1t is
quite true, as Dr. Super says, the
mere number of words used by an au-
thor is no test of his mental capaci-
ty," for the dullest ass that ever blot
ted paper could easily Guido Shake
speare. And yet writer's vocabulary,
carefully analysed, throws valuable
light on his mental traits. Shake
speare with a John Bunyan vocabulary
would not be our Shakeseare.
An interesting psychological point
investigated by DR.. Super is the ca
pacity of the human memory for re-
tanning words. Most people fall far
short of their natural limitations IN
this respect. In fact, it is not easy
to fix any limit to the power of the
mind to learn new words. 1t is chief
| ly matter of habit and of mental
attitude. The majority lose prem&-
turely the ability to master new words
an ability which, is exercised, con-
| tinues unimpaired into advanced old
| age. In the case of those who lose it
the cause is less a weakening of the
memory than dislike of applying it
There is even to be found a spirit Of
resentment toward speakers and writ.
ers who employ words which are per.
fectly good, but odd. The flexible
progressive mind welcomes such &C
lcessions, and quickly masters them
the self-satisfied mind, which would
impose its own limits on others, flies
into fury of indignation at the us'
of dictionary" words Most men
therefore, never use more than d trif.
that it is quite impossible to say how
many words the average man coulC
master if he chose. That there are
practically no limits to the human
memory for words would appear from
such extraordinary cases as that o
