JUST SAVED THE SITUATION
British RoyaIty's Narrow Escape From
What Might Be Called "Simply
Awful" Position.

When truth gets fair inning she
rarely fails to be much funnier than
fiction. Strange to say, old England,
where truth is supposed to be always
dismally sober, now and then makes
quite merry record. A rector of the
Church of England, in remote par
ish in Wiltshire, recently discovered
among his Pensioners a fine old fig
ure of woman, age one hundred and
four, the widow of an innkeeper. This
ancient dame has eight sons living
six Of whom have served in either the
army or the navy. The rector wrote
informing King George of these things,
and the king ordered warm congrat-
ulatory telegram to be sent to her
Just as the telegram was sent off,
the rector having received additional
testimony concerning the "old un,"
wrote again, explaining that she had
been twice divorced, and had not gone
through the marriage ceremony at all
with the man of her latest household
Another wire was promptly set at
work at the kings command, ordering
the postmaster at the other end to
stop delivery of the royal congratu-
lations, and that functionary had
barely time to grab the coattails of the
messenger with the bicycle as he was
about to make delivery.
