In days of old, when knights were
bold, the king rode forth on his
charger, wearing a suit that resem-
bled a base-burning coal stove and a
steel helmet which had q gate, or
portcullis, to lower over the face. Next
to his body he wore a glorified wire
dishrag known as a shirt Of mail He
carried a jousting spear which was
about thirty feet long, and altogether,
including medals. hardware. and wire
underclorhes, he weighed in the vicin--
ity OF 1900 pounds, in fact q few
pounds more than his horse. When
he met the enemy king and got busy
with his jabber, there was q heloya
time in Flanders The fray sounded
like a boiler factory, and when the
enemy king was knocked from his
poor old, overworked, sway-baeked
horse he made a noise like the break
ing UP Of a hard winter accompanied
by a tin-peddler's wagon running
away
Nowadays when a king wants 70
get his name in the papers he has to
fall under an automobile hearse or
of the IRE escape Of the place or be
