Odd "reminiscences About the Late King Edwardy His Chaueu

TUD1CIOUS friends OF the British monarchy
continue to be grieved at the literary Of.
forts OF various blunder-headed admirers
OF the late King Edward to defend his CHAR
acter.
British society has already been shocked by
king Edward in His True Colors," the book Of
Edward Legge, who depicted the King as
large-hearted monarch who enjoyed himself
heartily and became furious whenever anybody
interfered with his pleasures.
That work, however. a masterpiece OF
tact compared with the latest book. What
observation-disclosures of Five Years Personal
Attendance Upon His Late Majesty, King Ed
ward VII" by c. W. Stamper. published by
Boon a Mills London. Mr.. Stamper was an
expert automobile machinist who looked after
all the Kings motor cars and sat beside the
chauffeur whenever His Majesty went riding.
1t has been stated that King George offered
Mi Stamper $3.50 not to publish his book. but
the offer was declined. Any intelligent person
who reads the book will at once understand
why King George was so reckless with his
money.
Mr. Stamper asserts with much emphasis
that King Edward was 80 great man." and
that his were great ways" The anecdotes
illustrating the Kings greatness usually de-
scribe how he lost his temper and swore vio-
lently whenever anything went wrong. His
great keenness OF perception is illustrated by
the fact that he could tell when anybody within
six feet OF him had been eating onions.
