Keeper of Secrets of KINGS.

Lord Knollys, who is retiring, after
having been private secretary to King
George and the late King Edward,
has received many tempting offers to
write his autobiography, but, needless
to say. has steadfastly resisted them
all. An enterprising publisher, from
the United States, once ran him down
during his vacation, and placed a
blank check before him, inviting him
to fill it in for any sum he liked to
name in return for book of no fewer
than $4,000 words.

lars" Lord Knollys remarked, quietly
The publisher gasped. Good gra-

Quite" Lord Knollys rejoined, and
then, with one of his merry wrinkles
of his eyes, he said:
Would it not be worth a good deal
more to you if l had to say frankly
all know"
The publisher realized the force OF
the argument, and was bound to adj
NIT that it would be a hopeless task
to induce an indiscretion on the part
of the veteran courtier.

six inches in length and the other two
feet eight inches. They are said to
be the collins of the twin children of
King Canute (995-1035), who were
drowned in Whittlesey Mere as they
were crossing to be educated at Pc

English history is familiar with the

King Canute that he was the lord OF

will recall the dramatic way in which
he rebuked their fiattery by setting
his chair on the beach while the tide
was rising and commanding the waves
not to engulf it, which, however, they
promptly did. But the' still more inn

the general reader. though it happened

tongues.
The woman herself had the saffron
glazed skin and soot-black hair of an
other land than ours Her shabby
black gown was somber enough for
a chief mourner, except for an out
b ct of red on her breast, and
her head was partly covered with a
rusty lace shawl.
A thousand other stout women in
shabby black with shawls over their
heads might have crossed the street
without attracting attention. This
one was the exception. And it is the
exception that counts.
Two young women of Vanity Fair,
who must have been making a short
cut for somewhere to account for such
style in so dubious quarter, stop

British War Office May Breed Re-
mounts for the
Army.

London.-The alarming deficiency of
army horses in England, of which the
figures will soon be known, is largely
due to direct conflict of interest be-
tween two government departments,
and the conflict is becoming acute.
The board of agriculture is the only
authority permitted to spend money
on breeding horses, and military au-
thorlties feel that the grant of $780,
600, chiefly given in premiums and for
buying mares, satisfies in no respect
the particular needs of the war Office
This conflict of opinion has become
emphasized in the last few weeks.
General Heath, who recently retired
from the position of director OF re-
mounts, which he filled with conspicu-
GUS success, has just joined the horse
breeding organization known as the
Master Of Fox Hounds society. This
body, which has the only really prac-
tical scheme yet worked out in de-
tail, is being strongly supported by
the war Office
It's most active supporter, MI

presented the lease of 400 acres of
land and stables to the war office in
the hope that the gift may be used
as a breeding establishment on the
German lines. The gift was eagerly
accepted by the war office, which sees
in it the nucleus of a new develop
ment, though at present it is largely
wasted because the war Office has not
a free hand.
The society has pointed out that the
board of agriculture scheme is large
ly waste money; that of the 100000
granted as much as $4,000 is spent on
administration, and that the animals
bred under the scheme are not likely
to profit the war office penny. The
best will certainly be bought for
French and German officers.
The board of agriculture is doubt
less the best authority, but while it re-
fuses to pay the slightest heed to war

Overfatigued. The present revival of
walking, if it does not prove to be
only a passing fad, may accomplish
great good in getting men away from
the dreary monotony of paved streets
and the dust and smoke-laden at

clean, pure, invigorating air of the
country, refreshing their lungs, tom

many of the minor ills that annoy and
