RNR. HENNESSY was much disturbed
wv recent visit of members of royal fam
lily to New York.
Who's this Jock iv Connaught, amy
how?" he demanded. Who i1icted hirn?"
I'll niver tell ye," said Mr.. Dooley. I lived
tn betther part w me life tn first ten years,
within stones throw iv Connaught an often
threw it an I niver heerd tell iv him. But jock
he is whether Connaught knows iv it not Ye
see, Hinnissy, It's this way: I understand be
tn pa-apers that he's brother iv tn late king
" England. So whin he come to be baptized
twas up to him to pick out some part iv tn
kings realms to rule over. I don't know why
this is so, but It's so. Well not bein' very ma
chure at tn time he thought Connaught was
part Nv tn kings realms, tn poor, misguided in
fant, an he picked it out FIR himsilf. Whn he
grew up he larned dif'rent but thin it was too
late to correct tn mistake But he don't live in
Connaught. Life names too much to him. He
amt member " tn Connaught mans assocya-
ton. If ye're thinkin' iv writn' him askin' per-
mission to go back twill do We no good A
letther addressed to him in his rile dukedom
wud be returned be tn postmasther marked:
No such party known here
Well, tn poor man found tn time hanein'
heavy on his hands, so his nephew that's king
" England now STINT him out to govern Canada
Whin tn jock got there he found Canada was so
thurly governed already be tn Canajien Passyfc
railroad that there was hardly amy governin'
left FIR him to do. All tn governin' tn gov'nor
glnral Nv Canada does is 1arnin' to skate an
goin' to his wifes parties. TIL jock is a smart
man an active, an whin he cud stand it no long
er he up an wrote to his nephew an says he:
Ye must find me a job. I have large family
an / need wurruk. can't stay around tn house
all day.
TIL king was in Indya at tn time 1ettin' his
lie subjicks see him. It's an idee iv kings that
they have to be be their subjicks to keep
thin lille. I think It's mistake. If I was a
king tn only way w subjicks cud see
wud be to peek through tn blinds an thin
I'd have him kilt to keep him firm tellin tn
others what he saw. But anyhow tn king
was enthusiastically rayceived. Wan pa-aper
says Til silence as his majesty proceeded
through tn great throngs iv dark-hued natives
was far, far more impressive thin mere cheerin'.'
Only wan thing married tn visit. This was whin
TIL Goollwar v Barooma, fellow with no more
manners thin throlley car conductor, was in
tflrojooced. Instead iv dom tn customary
Whitelaw Reid in tn rile prisince this here steve
dore was heerd to say, What name? an afther
sthrikn a match on tn sole iv his shoe walked
off snol1n' a cigareet There was tn divv1e to
pay over this break TIL Indyan governnint sint
a letther to tn GooI1war dernandin' an apology.
I don't know what they were goin' to do to him
if he didn't crawI-naybe they cud put him in
jail or p'raps rayjooce him to til ranks an sind
him out to pound tn pavenlint. Anyhow he
took chances. He wrote letter sayin' he
meant no disrespict, but he was thinkin Nv some
thing else.
Where was I? Q, yes Well, whin tn king
got tn jocks demand FIR wurruk he says to him
silf: must do something FIR Uncle Arthur,
