he was Duke OF York. had some
elaborate Japanese designs tattooed on
his arms and chest and personally he
used to take great pride In the artis-

Queen Mary. however. dislikes the
practice and II is owing to her Inns

receipts. Accepting this fact as q
test Of merit, 1.-The Merry Countess,

success of years. For six months at
the New York Casino this delightful
operetta played to the absolute capa-

HIS VIEWPOINT.

Representative Johnnie" Koenig of

fore he decided to enter politics and
come to congress-. He has fought his
way up literally with his two hands,
and he has little patience with the ex.
aggerated niceties that are the pleas.
ures of those fortunate men who do
not have to work.
In this class of undesirable niceties
Koenig puts golf. He Is the NEST
ardent OF baseball rooters, but the
Scotch game he holds in utter cou'
tempt.
A friend Of his. who is an ardent
golfer, was recently trying to convert
him over to the links.
:. Come out with me to the club some
day." he urged. "and I'll show you
where you're wrong. III show you
that golf is the greatest game there

was witnessed at the River Meme, near
the Town bridge at Peterborough,
Northampton, (England), recently.
when the body of a man named VIII

been missing since Christmas, was
taken from the water. The body was
found by iighterman known by the
nickname of Banker" who recogn.
ICED it as that Of man whom he res
cued from drowning at the same spot
under startling circumstances two
years ago. On that occasion Burrows
was going home at closing time, when
he expressed wish to die, as he had
no money. One of his mates said Il
will give anybody sixpense who will
drop him over the bridge Give me
the sixpence," said Banker" and hav-
ing got it he forthwith picked Burrows
up and held him over the parapet. II
