Clever Joke of Kind Klnu.

Illustrated the other night by London
correspondent at the Press club In
New York.
THE king" said the correspondent,
was visiting Rufford Abbey, and one
morning, in company with his host,
Lord Arthur Savile, he took a walk
over the preserves.
Suddenly Lord Arthur, big burly
man, rushed forward and seized a
shabby fellow with a dead pheasant
protruding from the breast of his coat.
Sir said Lord Arthur to the king,
this fellow is a bad egg, This is the
second time I've caught him poaching.
But the kings handsome face
beamed, and he laughed his gay and
tolerant laugh.
"'Oh, let him 60, he said. If he
really were bad egg, you know, he
wouldn't poach.'"

important In Former Days When All
British Publications Had to be
Entered for Copyright
Purposes.

Londdn.-Stationers' hall, where Mr..
Roosevelt was the guest of the Tnsti-
tute Of Journalism on his recent visit
to London, was erected in 1871, and in
the hall itself are hung the shields on
which are painted the arms of the
members of the court of assistants.
1t was customary In bygone times
for the freemen of the company on
state occasions to carry the shields
from the hall to Blackfriars, which
journey was made by way OF the
river, and then on embarkation the
shields were hung over the barge's
side. The freemen were clad In long
gowns of hght-blue flannel, with yell
low facings, being the proper livery
color of the company according to its
heraldic bearings.
The Worshipful Company of Station
ers keeps the registers of copyright
works from the date of its incorpora-
ton In 1857 until the passing of the
copyright act In 1912 the company DOS
sessed an absolute monopoly, as all
printers were obliged to serve an ap-
premiership to a member of the COM
pany, and every publication, from a
Bible to a ballad, was required to
be entered at Stationers' hall"
