George is a busy man and even in or
binary times clothes take mp a lot of
his time This is particularly hard on
him because he doesn't care for dress.
King Edward delighted in dressing up
as keenly any debutante getting ready
for her first ball. He studied clothes and
was never more pleased than when he
had designed some little alteration in the
ordinary dress of a gentleman. No man
in the kingdom had a wider or more &C
curate knowledge of the nicetes of mill
tary uniform than he. He knew to
hairsbreadth the right position of every
button on every uniform. If decora
ton were a fraction of an inch to the
right or left of the proper position he
spotted the mistake at once and woe be-
tide the valet who was responsible.
King George. like all monarchs. of
course is a stickler for accuracy in such
details. but he doesn't charge his mind
with them, and he takes no delight in
them. He trusts his Wallets. AS far a
ordinary dress IS concerned he is par
ticularly careful never to wear anything
that is at all out of the way. He never
will set q fashion as his father constant
~ was doing.
Here is n typical day in the kings life
showing not only his actual enga gements.
but how he has to dress for them. He
rises at . 80 a m. gets into breecheS and
boots and goes for ride in the park.
When he comes back to the palace about
an hour later he changes into ordinary
morning dress. a lounge suit, breakfasts
at $40 and then spends the morning with
his secretaries going over his CORES
pondence and attending TO the ordinary
business of the day. He finds an hour
during the forenoon for his physical
training with Sandow or one of his as
Sistants.
If he has no public engagement he
need not change his clothes again until
lunch time. when he gets into frock
nd dor If no st

sador he must don one of his many uni
forms. His, f9vorite uniforms, IL a man
who dctests uniforms can be said to
have favorites are those Of field mar
shall Of the british army and the undress
uniform of British admiral. The latter
indeed. is the one that he wears most of
all. and his naval training ia probably
accountable for this preference.
If he receives a foreign ambassador.
however, he must wear the uniform of
one Of the regiments OF the ambassador 5
country to which he is entitled. There
are also thirty uniforms of British resi-
ments of which he IS honorary colonel
which he must wear on certain occasions.
If ii Is quiet day he may get through
the afternoon without changing again,
but If he has two three engagements
he may have to change as many times.
He dresses for dinner about I O'Clock
and dimes at s. If the dinner is mere
family function he wears the ordinary
gentleman's evening dress, but il 1t Is d

Hale was born near a little town In

only two little boys. Hale and his broth
err to meet the interest and support
the family. They found they had to
hire themselves out to keep the farm
going, and at twelve years Of age young
Hale was cutting corn for his neighbors
at a few cents a day
It was one day during the noon

MARITIME PRICES.

The high cost Of living is the great
day. but many people who passed
through the War Between the states
speak OF wartime prices as the Highest
point ever reached In the cost of ncccs-
Stiles. The South was blockaded: but
the situation was different in the North.
The New York Sun has recently
shown the Northern situation-the
brighter side. 1t reprints the bill OF
fare Issued to patrons OF the Putnam
House In New York In 1863. Beef
steaks were to be had for 7 cents, n
portcrhousc steak for 25 cents, chicken
for the same price. eggs 3 cents each.
coffee and cake 6 cents, oysters. any
style. 13 cents.
Contrast these low prices with the
famine prices that prevailed In Rich
mond at the same period Our infor-
nation is derived from the Macon TeIe-
graph, which In turn gets It's informa-
ton from recent life OF Alexander II.
Stephens, vice-P President OF the Con-
fedcracy.

$40 the yard. and later at S25. AS far

ordinary 10 cent muslin sold at $3.50

obliged TO charge $50 the visit. The

hibitive. Throughout tho South tho

The Flnancior speaks o fAIr. Morgan

This is rather an extravaganza o.

i SUCCESS OF GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP

Vienna has furnished a striking ex-
ample of tho success OF government
ownership. The great Vienna tele-
phone exchange Is the source. The
girls there employed arc treated cour-
teously, and, though their wages are
low. the government watches over
their health and comfort. and sells
good things to them 10 eat and drink
at cost prices
These hello" girls have to wear :.
uniform while in service. 1t Is green
dress with gold lace on the collar, They
have soft slippers to insure quietness.
Each girl serves so subscribers. and
is allowed ninety seconds TO get a
number.
The girls who work a night are paid
In the daytime. When they get through
they are allowed four hours rest in
government beds. so that they may not
have to go homo In the dark. The
beds are very comfortable. and tina
linen Is changed just as soon as tho
occupant mas lelt' me bed rooms arc
well heated-a rather unusual fact in
Vienna.
For these telephone girls there Is
also n hospital and plenty Of recrea-
ton; also n restaurant, where cof-
fee, with cream. Is sold for two
cents the cup. a roll here Is worth
only half n cent, while n cup Of milk

Every man voted as lie pleased. That

no significance whatever as a PARTY
proposition
II is n peculiarly interesting situa-
ton, and it seems to tit in with the
declaration OF a South Carolina states
man some years ago who. when being
appealed TO IN a matter of supposed
political Importance, observed: "a loo
loo hand wins only once" There is
n great deal of difference between be
ing on the inside and being on tho out :
side; between being responsible for
the legislation of the country. as the
Democrats will he in the next House
of Representatives. and being respon-
sible for the defeat of partisan meas
ures when the Republicans were in
control Speaker Cannon Is said TO
have been much gratiiied by the re-
vcrsal of Democrats judgment upon
his ruling at the last session Of Con-
gress, and We DO not blame him. but
as the question this time appears to
have been only a trap to catch tho
unwary, the Democrats do not appear
TO have lost any substantial ground by
changing their minds. 1t was n good
political play. even II the cards were
marked play for position without
much regard to the rules of the game.
We must confess that we do not
like it. 1T does not seem to be states
manlike and We are much disturbed by
the statement of Representative I'm
dcrwood. OF Alabama. and Representa-
tive Fitzgerald. of New York, who al :
mitted that when the same question
came up before the House last March
they voted against the Speaker. not

they voted against the Speaker on tho

luton. In the circumstances, we are
not much surprised that Mr.. Sims. of
Tennessee, and twerty-siX other Demo
Gratis who appear TO have some CON
science left should have objected to
this sort of politics. The only man
who seems TO have come out of the
