become current on both sides of the
Atlantic. In the spring of 1909 he
went to Biarritz, France, where he
had often gone before. But after he
had been there a little while the
word came out this time that his
step was no longer elastic, that he
kept much to himself permitting no
one outside of his suite to dine with
him except Mrs. George Keppel, and
that for the first time he had gone
to Biarritz not for a holiday, but by
direction Of his physicians, who were
concerned over his health. However,

bert I. The English people had al
ways looked forward to him as King
Edward VII.
1t was long the fond hope of Queen
Victoria's- heart that her son should
reign under the title Of Albert, the
name of his father, her beloved hus-
band. But Albert is strange name
to English ears in the list of royal IT,
ties. The prince himself desired to
be called Edward. The queens min
listers and the queens subjects de-
sired it, so at last the mother, so
fond of her own way in everything,
saw that 1t were better to yield. But
she is reported to have shed tears
over it.
Birth of Edward.
It was on the morning Of the 9th Of
November, 1S41, that an anxious
group of personages waited in the
great rooms of Buckingham palace.
They were dignitaries of church and
state who had been summoned in ac-
cordance with royal etiquette to be
present at the arrival of possible
heir to the throne of England They
gathered together in the anteroom
close by the queens bed chamber.
Among them were archbishops and
bishops, arrayed in silk shovel hats
and gorgeous aprons; members of the
cabinet, headed by the prime minis
ter; nurses and doctors by the score.
When 1t was announced that the
hopes and wishes of a nation had
been fulfilled and that boy had been
born, there was universal graduation.
A few weeks later, on the occasion
of the princes baptism in the Royal
chapel of Windsor, he was shown
from the balcony to huge crowd OF
persons, who went wild with delight
The boyhood OF the prince was un'
| eventful His early education was
conducted at home under the tutelage
of the Rev. II. M. Birch, rector OF
Prestwich; Mr.. Gibbs, barrister al
| law; the Rev. G. f. Tarver and Mr.
II. w. Fisher. He then studied for
session at Edinburg and later entered
Christ church, Oxford. Here he at

duced by Representative Townsend
Of Michigan, was passed by the
the house of representatives in COM
mittee of the whole. BY agreement
the bill will come TO a final vote in
the house next Tuesday. but 1t is be-
lieved that the action in committee
indicates the passage of the bill.
Representative Adamson of Georgia.
senior minority member of the inter-
state commerce committee, served
notice Just before adjournment that
when the bill comes for final action
on Tuesday he will move to recon-
NIT II with instructions that the COM
merce court feature be stricken out.
This Is one Of the few important pro-
visions remaining in the bill as urged
by the administration. The regular
Republicans contend that they have
sufficient votes to retain the com.
merce court feature in the bill.
The house followed the lead OF the
senate and eliminated the merger
section of the bill on motion of Mr..
Adamson by vote of 13l to 1873. The
Democrats and the Republican insur-
gents. strengthened by four or five
regulars, voted solidly to drop the
section. Motions to strike out Sec
tions 10, IA and 10 were voted down
| by substantial majorities. These sec

aggregate amount Of stocks and
bonds issued by new corporation

| also secured the adoption OF another
| amendment to the same section pro-
| viding that the stocks and bonds OF
another railroad corporation acquired
under this section shall not be dis
tributed unless the distribution is au-
thorized by the interstate commerce
commission.
| While the house was making some
progress with the railroad bill, Presi-
dent Taft was making plans with ad-
ministration supporters in the senate
to bring pressure to bear upon some
of the wavering Republicans in that
body. The president got back to the
White House from his five-day trip In
the west and an hour or two later
was in conference with Senator
Crane OF Massachusetts and Senator
Elkins OF West Virginia, the latter
having charge of the railroad bill in
the senate.
After the visit Of the two senate
leaders TO the White House the an

Taft has decided to cancel his en-

Thursday TO attend the launching OF

there might have been happiness if the
young people had waited until they
were sure they were suited to each
other.
Happy marriage is the perfect state
for man and woman, but marriage can
not be lightly entered upon.
1 would advise every girl to have her
play before marriage. BY play I mean
the dances and beaux and all the fun
that every girl loves.
There will be dances after marriage,
but there. can be but one beau, and he
a permanent one.
Young married people can have great
fun, but they should have it together.
And I've learned from watching my
friends that marriage can be either
the best thing in the world or the
worst
