ROYAL ETIQUETTE.
In England It Assumes a Number
of Curious Phases.
THINGS THE KING CANNOT DO

He Is Barred From Accepting Gifts
From individuals, He Must Not Be-
long to Club and May Not Marry
Without ParIiament's Consent.
1t may sound a little curious, but
there are quite number of things
which. despite his exalted position as
sovereign of the realm. King George
V. cannot do. These disabilities range
over all sorts of matters and concern
etiquette. politics. religion and law.
To begin with etiquette. it is an estab
lished practice that his majesty must
never call upon or grant an audience
to foreign monarch except In the
presence of q responsible minister.
Etiquette also precIudes him from ac-
cepting a gift which a loyal subject
may wish to make him. Should. how
ever. the gift be joint offering the
prohibition does not apply. This en-
ables King George to accept gifts
which are subscribed for by a number
of people together.
A king never writes letter to any
body outside his family circle. All
other correspondence has to be con-
Quoted through one Of his secretaries.
Nor does King George accept invita-
tons to dine or stop with subject.
What he does when he wishes to pay
such q visit is to invite himself. An
other strictly observed point of eti-
quette is that on ascending the throne
a king shall withdraw from any clubs
to which he has hitherto belonged.
Similarly he cannot become a Free
Mason, and If he happens to be one at
the date Of his ascension he must re-
sign from the craft. King George
however, has not been initiated.
Even in affairs Of the heart sover'
eigni must bow to the will Of others
Although King Cophetua might have
loved and shared his throne with q
beggar maid. the royal marriage act
would render the occurrence OF any
such romantic union impossible In Eng
land. Members Of the blood royal
must have the sanction of parliament
before they can marry. and this would
certainly not be accorded unless the
birth and position Of the lady were
beyond reproach-
An English kings position toward
the law is somewhat peculiar. Theo'
retically he is above the law In prac
tice. however. he has to obey 1t, just
as have his subjects He must OBJ
serve the established legal system OF
the country. Any royal proclama ton
which he issues is only binding in so
far as it is founded upon an existing
law. 1t cannot alter the common law
or create new offense. nor can a
king set up private tribunals. such as
the star chamber. or add to the juris.
dicHon of q court. By a special act OF

Some old time fun is promised at
the dance to be given at the home of
Jim Dodson in Horse Heaven, Sat
urday evening August 18th. Kepne
wick friends are cordially invited.
Corder's place has taken unto itself
many Gifted airs during the last few
days. The cool weather afforded
Jack an opportunity for turning off
the power and installing some new
fixtures IN the line of Bullets and
mirrors. Additional palms and
plants have been placed making the
the resort very attractive.
Julius Wehrley. who recently sold
his place here, shipped his car of
household goods to Forest Grove,
Ore, last week. Mrs. w. H. Collins
and Mrs. F. L. Fraser were hostesses
at farewell party given for Sophia
and Selma Wehrley at the home of
Mrs. Collins last Wednesday. Mrs
Wehrley and daughters leave for
their new home Sunday.
The leading feature OF atheletic
activities In Horse Heaven during
the past few weeks has been Sunday
base ball games between harvest
crews. Last Sunday the crews of
Emory Owens and Anon Bros. crew
played near the CRIPPLE Spring School
house ana the Owens aggregation
won by score of eight to nine. One
OF the eye witnesses of the tragedy
says the game was characterized by
good pitching and poor catching.
A wholesale slaughter of Alfred
Amon's spring chickens resulted in a
big feed for both victors and victims
after the game.

tors "SIaIn' at Barber.

'Pete" Miller city commissioner
has come back" He has answered
William Allen Whites slam" in
recent issue of the American Magazine
when the Emporia editor claimed
Topeka's half million dollar water
works plant was being run by pro-
prietor of a tWo-chair barber shop.
White in his magazine article before
the last city election said that it was
up to the people of the city of Topeka
to see if it was profitable and success
full for a two-chair barber to help run
five million dollar municipal corpor-
alton. He said Miller was in charge
now and if the people reelected him
it was proof that they believed a
barber was capable of the job.
Today Commissioner Miller wrapped
up an issue of the State Journal show
ing the official election returns and
sent the following letter to William
Allen White:

Here's Something They Can Fight
Flies.

DIR. s. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health, is going to get
all the Boy Scout squads in Kansas in
terested in the fly fighting campaign
The boys at Weir announced that they
were going to try to exterminate all
the flies in that city and DR.. Crumbine
decided that it would be good plan
to get all the Scouts interested in the
movement. as he believes that much
good can be accomplished by concert
ed effort along this line.
DIR. Crumbine will urge that the
state officers of the Boy Scout move
ment take UP the matter at once and
get the different companies organized
and at work as soon as possible. The
board of health has plenty of Informal
ton needed for the boys to begin the
war on the flies and this will be fur
nished free.
Dr. Crumbine is also planning to
take up the matter with the National
Boy Scout movement through the fly
fighting committee of the American
Civic federation.

The Lay of the Speckled Hen.

We have read of Maud on summer day.
Who raked, barefooted, the new mown hay;
We have read of the maid in the early MORN
Who MIXED the cow with the crumpled horn
And we've read of the lays that the poet sang
OF the rustling corn and the flowers OF spring.
But Of all the lays of tongue or pen
There's naught like the lay of the speckled men,
Long, long before Maud rakes her hay
The specked hen has begun to lay
And ere the milkman stirs a peg,
The hen is up and has dropped her egg.
The corn must rustic and flowers spring,
If thew hold their own with the barnyard ring.
IF Maud is needing hat or gown,
She does not hustle her hay to town,
But goes to the store and obtains her suit
With a basket full of her fresh hen fruit.
IF the milkmaid's beaux makes Sunday call,
She doesn't feed him milk at all
But works up eggs IN a custard pie
And stuHs him full of chicken fry;
And when the old man wants horn,
Does he take the druggist load of corn?
Not much! He simply robs nest,
And to town he goesyou know the rest.
