PRINCE or WALES
INHERITS FORTUNE
King and Queen Refuse to Allow
Son to Get Hold Of
Money.

London. June 25.-A fortune OF more
than S2.5Oo.OoO descended to Prince Ed
ward Of Wales to-day when he attained
his eighteenth birthday.
But It cannot be said that this great
gum Of money comes. Into the princes
hands or under his direct control
King George and Queen Mary. his
father and mother. have determined to
keep his fortune from him for another
year at least. II is stated authoritatively
by thosd in regal circles.
The prince. VINO inclines to the opinion
that he has been kept too much in the
background. does not accept the parental
authority with very good grace He
claims personal control Of the fortune,
OF which the Income. thanks TO judicious
handling, good Investments and fall
ing" leases. Is S5O0.00O a year. The prince
asserts that the fortune Is absolutely
his own and is entirely Independent Of
crown revenue.
The heir apparent Is also presenting his
right to participate In the functions at
Buckingham Palace and in the other
gayeties Of the London season. But the
King and Queen steadfastly forbid this.
The prince, who crossed from France
yesterday to celebrate his birthday
Windsor Castle tomorrow, Is TO be
hurried back TO Paris on Tuesday to
resume his studies at the home OF his
host and chaperon. the Marquis and
Marquise de Breteuil, she was Garner.
OF New York. The prince will not be
permitted to spend any part OF his in
come as he pIeases or 10 take part In
any English functions for a twelve
month at least. The King and Queen
fear to expose him to the temptations
Of which beset an heir to the British
throne when he is given absolute
freedom.
sIua,a Part of Estate.
Young Edwards great fortune is the
hereditary appendage Of every Prince Of
Wales, and is drawn from what is known
as the Duchy Of Cornwall estate, the Duke
Of Cornwall being one Of the secondary
titles Of the Prince Of Wales This es-
tate consists Of lands and rights in Corn
wall, and besides Of a great area OF slum
properly in Kensington and South Lon
don. a district densely populated by
working people
The estate was not so valuable when
King Edward, former Prince OF Wales,
lived, but hundreds OF leases have eN-
pired since then and the astute mana
gers OF the royal property have doubled
many rentals No money has been drawn
from the estate during the princes mi
nority, and the income has been accu-
muIating at compound interest for two
years.
But for his parents determination to
keep him in retirement for a year many
new responsibilities would have fallen
or the prince. With his coming Of age
lie would have appeared a great deal irl
public and acted often as his fathers
substitute in the monOtonous duty OF
opening institutions and laying founda-
ton stones. He IS entitled to represent
King George at state functions, to at /
tend levees and royal courts, and to ac-
his father on the opening Of
Parliament sitting at the Kings right !

the United States senate. Just let q
majority of the drummers on the road
line up for a fellow and see how the
influence spreads. OF course they
talk and talk a whole lot, and after
a while the impression that their can
didate is going to win gets in the air.
These same travelling men are still
talking constantly for their man and
very soon "everybody's doin' it,"
You cannot question the fact that
the influence of the drummer on mat
tiers political is of no mean proper
tions, and with anything like concert
ed action on their, part they WELD an
influence on the public that really tells

ence in the moral world:
His Moral Influence.
while the travelling man, as a rule,
is not renowned for his eminent piety
from the viewpoint of the church, and
while there are not q great many
preachers or exhorters among them, !
imagine this fact can be accounted for
from their ayocation being of such a
nature that they are called upon to
preach their wares six days. IN the
week and are constantly exhorting
their customers to buy, hence by Sum
day they run out of soap, Really a
large percentage of our brethren who
travel are consistent members of some
church and their good influence is felt
not only on the road, but you will see
by observation that In the family cir
Gle, or church or in social life 1t is the
same. Some of the best types of real
men / have ever known have been as
we all are, just plain everyday drum
mers. They do their full duties to
their employers. to their families, to
their church and to their God. All
honor to this noble band Of men With
their faults and frailties which are no
more numerous than in others, their
good traits shine out in splendid ON
trast.
"They go through life doing much
good to the world as they pass through.

ostentation, eve boasting OF their
many charities but doing their duty as
their Maker has made it appear to

Il PRODUCE MAN.

Did you ever sell produce .
To the man that keeps the store? !.
Tell him IL he'll buy your cabbage,
You konw he'll want some more.
Just try q sack OF onions, they're
simply great, "
And you'll send him some apples
The best he " ate.
Celery c~auliflower and lettuce, yes
Our range are bright.
Sure I'll get it out by express
This very blessed night.
And next time you call
Upon the mar that keeps the store,
He gently takes you by the arm,
Somehow you feel he's sore,
He tells you that he hates to kick,
But your stun was rotten bad,
And he'd quit the house at once
If you weren't a good old lad.
But he'll say you'll do the right thing,
And Tell give a little laugh,
And Off of your statement
He'll take a dollar and a half.
Then you'll take your credits in
And the boss will say,
What are you trying to do,
Give my stun away?
That was in first-class shape
When we shipped 1t out,
And liz 1t rotted. why 1t rotted
While en- route.
Tell him he's going to pay or
We're going, to sue,
And IL you don't get the money
We may fire you, too.
Thus 1t is from early morn
Until late at night
The life Of the produce man"
Is one continual fight. -... -~s
