A ROYAL Rebuke.

No one would be likely to call King
George V. divine jure monarch. but
If one story Of him is to be believed
he possesses considerably greater de-
gree OF spirit than is usually credited
to him. 1t appears that on one occa-
sion he was discussing affairs of state
with Winston Churchill. who. in the
course of the conversation. expressed
one of his more radical opinions-iust
which it is perhaps wiser not to say.
The king objected. saying that such a
sentiment was at variance with his
idea of the British constitution.
"Oh," said the first lord of the ad-
miralty piqued, land what is your idea
Of the constitution. may | ask. STRIP
'"This." said the king quietly. extend
ing his hand toward the first lord. palm
downward. There was nothing left for
Churchill to do but kiss the proffered
hand and retire from the room. which
he did.-New York Post

Dickens, Resemblance to Tennyson.

Some of the great writer's of the last
century seem to have resembled each
other in physical appearance as well
as in genius Mr.. Comyns Carr in his
Eminent Victorians" states that he
was struck at one of Dickens readings
by the resemblance Of Tennyson. Aft
erward, on seeing pencil drawing
which Millais made Of Dickens after
death, he found the likeness to the
poet still more marked. and on the
sketch being shown to Tennyson he.
too, observed the resemblance. He
gazed at it curiously for some min
utes, then exclaimed: why. this is a
most extraordinary drawing. 1t is ex-
actly like myself" And Lady Dorothy
Nevill in her "Reminiscences" tells OF
a painting purchased by friend OF
hers as a portrait Of Browning. 1t
was afterward found to be portrait
of Dickens, made by an artist friend
at Cabs nill.

The Temper of Thunderstorm.

The Temper OF lhunoerssorf".
A tall, we'll gowned young woman
entered one of the department stores,
accompanied by an angelic appearing
little girl of three years. "What
beautiful child.'' the shoppers murmur-
ed as she passed. From one counter
to another the two went, purchasing
gloves. a white lace veil, some rose
pink ribbon, that the mother held un-
der her daughters chin and then at
her child to see the effect, which the
saleswoman declared perfect. All the
time the child was sweetly acquiscent
In all her mothers plans. Once or
twice she spoke quietly to her mother,
who answered her by saying, Per
haps, later" and smiled. Suddenly a
change came over the angelic face. 1t
was like a great black thundercloud
passing over the face Of the sick.
81 won't stop teasing shrieked the
angelic one: II won't! l want choco-
late Ice cream! I will have it! / will!
I willw. The voice rose in shrek OF
rage and determination. Then she
threw her dainty self to the floor and
rolled over and over.-New York Mail.
