MOST Anssennseus Mon.'cn,
SO far from the king being e trunk
ard he Is nearer q teetotaler thar any
king who has ascended the EngIsh
throne. For years past ! know, on
first hand authority, from those who
have lived In his house, dined at his
table N travelled with him at home
most abstemious Of men, He a never
claimed this as q virtue on his part.
The simple truth Of h matter 10
that h kings digestion Is very bad.
A very little thing upsets 1t, and when
he suffers from indigestion his lips be-
come livfd, his nos reddens and his
hands grow cold These symptoms.
which are very familiar in certain
forms of Indigestion, have led sunthink-
ing persons to imagine that the king
was suffering from i~ntoxicatior, when
in reality he had never touched either
wine or spirits.
I was old the other day by those
who know him well tha It is nearly
Il w AtAS IA q AASPE i
alcohol. About that / can say nothing.
All hat I know Is that those who
know him bestEare the most indignant
at the persistent circulation of stories
as to his fondness for strong drink.
Ideal Home Life Of the KIM.
Equally false are the stories that
have been circulated abou the married
life Of the king and queen. Their home
is simply ideal from the domestic point
Of view: They are both devoted to
their children, n are never so happy
as when they can hut all the world
out Of doors, devot themselves
to each other and to their children.
But of this devoted couple the most
incredible f~alsehoods are circulated by
people WHO accept them without any
malicious desire to believe them true
simply, hearing them continually re-
peated, assuming that they must bo
true.
The other day two ,worknen stood
before Buck1ngham palace n began
to talk of the two kings. Said one to
the other:
1T Is a pity the old mans dead. He
was a good sort, was Edward"
Much better, said the other, than
the new one, who, / hear. goes to bed
trunk every hight"
An. SAID the hrst, the sooner that
CHAP ma his mead taken Off the bet
tel"
But even tnls was not so monstrous
an instance OF the evale impression
as TO the habits OF the king as a letter
which !! AVE received from a boot
maker IN Plumstead. After referring
to his reasons for believing that I per-
sonaily was acquainted with the habits
OF King George. my correspondent con-
nue. as follows:
Prayed for the "Drunkard kino.n
II thought perhaps you would kindly
tell me whether it is true. as renortad
quite commonly both here In wonJwich
and Plumstead, that King George ia n
drunkard, and that his home is a moor
drunkard's home. This and other thinpa
on the same lines are current topica
here among Christians as we'll az
others. l was present at a nraver
