One hundred years ago England held
a national jubilee In celebration of the
centenary of the accession Of the
House of Hanover to the English
throne. The first Of the Hanoyerian
line was George !, who succeeded to
the throne of Great Britain and Ire
land on the death of Queen Anne, Au-
gust l, 1714. Georges succession to
the throne came through his mother,
the electress Sophia of Hanover, who
was a granddaughter Of James !. The
most conspicuous figure in the reign
of George / was Sir Robert Walpole,
who was the first prime minister Of
England. The fact that George could
speak no English, while his ministers
could speak no German, taken with
the other fact that the king preferred
to spend much of his time in Hanover,
gave to the Office Of prime minister,
that Walpole was the first to hold, the
character that it has since retained.

Emergency Currency Issued by the
Bank Of England Of the Most
Severely Plain Description.

Those who have seen specimen
Of the new Bank of England emer-
gency notes would not be surprised
to learn that they had been received
at first with a certain amount OF sus-
picion. They are distinctly unim-
pressive,
The note is insignificantly small,
printed on what is apparently very
inferior brand of paper, and is as
much unlike the e5 Bank of Eng
land note as could be imagined. And
yet it appears that the British public
took to the new currency with amaz-
ing ease.
A Wall street man who has just
returned from the other side tells
how he introduced the new notes to
a small village in the north of Eng
land, claiming that the incident fur
nished a remarkable example of the
trust placed by the English shop
keeper in his customers honesty. A
few days after the new currency was
issued he happened to make a pur-
chase in a small shop in an out-of-
the-way town and rendered a FL note
in payment.
The shopkeeper, who had never
heard of the new money, scrutinized
the note carefully and asked what
it was. The American explained the
vhole matter and how it came about.
ihe shopkeeper thanked him and
offered the correct change in return

possible for normal golfer to accom-.

getful.

The Belgians, it is said, have not
a national anthem, but they have a
stirring, catchy song that might well
be used as such. This is La Cou-
ronue," which at the time of the
present king Of the Belgians' access
sion four years ago was sung, played
and whistled all over Belgium. But
as a fighting patriotic song there is
nothing to beat the French "Mar-
seillaise," which has been used by
many countries whose own produc.
tions fail to strike the right note.

CITY'S DANCE
Big SUCCESS;
$50 PRESENT

They trlpped the light fan
taatlc, as tho poet says. TO the
tune OF municipal music at a
municipal field house under
municipal direction.
And everybody was satisfied.
The municipal dancing at
Collins field house last night
was a huge success from a 90.
eisl and financial standpoint.
big smile was spread over the
face OF Fairgrounds Director
Stino throughout tho evening. A
crowd was on hand. The music
was dandy. The floor was fine.
The cost was reasonable. Six
tickets for 20 cents TO begin with.
then three tickets for a dime, or
nine for 80 cents.
Mothers came with their babies
and danced. Young girls. properly
escorted, old maids. bachelors.
married men-all were there. II
WAS "A nice community crowd.
The success OF the Collins dance
means municipal dances will also
be established In South Park and
Ballard playfield houses, and that
the cost OF dancing may be re-
duced.
Exactly $50 persons passed
through the turnstiles. Eighty-six
were paid admissions. Women I'M
escorted were admitted free Dance
tickets sold inside netted $685..
The total receipts for the even
Ing amounted 10 s2s15. OF this
t24.75 was used TO defray expenses,
leaving a clear profit OF 1910.
The next dance will be given FRI
day night.
