Hot Time q ! IS Il Lunnon.


@ News comes from under the water
that the president IS going to put up
with the king at Ruclkiilnl- mum m, when he
makes his visit to Great Britain. That
will be time that the two boys will
have together, what!
AS the pleasant evening draws to a
close the king remarks:
tHo hum, it's getting late. Well I
must see to the furnace for the night
AS the president does not seem to
notice the remark and continues his
pleasant conversation with the queen,
the king edges around behind the
queens chair and tips the American
chief executive a portentous wink, at
the same time reckoning slightly with
his forefnger. The president looks
puzzled, then his face clears.
tWhat kind Of heating plant have
you, George ?" he asks casually.
cts hot air Blizzard King" said
the Emperor of India, "and it's heat
thrower, too"
81 believe I'll run down with you
and look it over" replied the president.
"We have more or less trouble heating
the white house when the winds in
the north"
"Glad tx. have you," replied the king,
you'll find the Blizzard King a fur
mace that will heat cold storage plant
in the arctic regions in the dead of
winter. It's one Of the greatest makes
Of furnace I know of. & It throws a
stream Of heat like the sirocco of the
Saharan desert and can heat this
palace on IL tons"
So speaking, the king lights his can
die and the two executives descend
the cellar stairs carefully.
Arrived at the bottom the king
places the candle on an old box, winks
solemnly at his guest and reaches for
the preserves shelf, taking from be-
hind several bottles of canned and pre-
served fruit that the queen had put
down suspicious looking receptacle.
"Fact is" said the king rather conf
dentially, '.Mary is rather opposed to
the use, even in the greatest modera-
ton and in times of peace, of anything
that savors of the grape. And you
know, during war times, that we have
had to Danish the stuff from the table.
But have had it fixed with the butler
since the armistice to have little nip
against the flu hidden behind the pre-
serves. I consider it rather a nice bit
! of stuff"
The king produced two. small tin
dippers holding about cupful apiece,
and the two executives then remark
solemnly:
ITO the Anglo-American under
standing!"
This simple yet royal celebration
having been pulled off without hitch,
attention is turned to the furnace, the
king explaining it's good points with
the enthusiasm of a real furnace con-
noisseur.
In the meantime the queen over
head was becoming a bit uneasy
II wonder what can be OBTAINING
them ?" she said to Mrs. Wilson.
"They are doubtless looking over
the heating plant" replied Mrs. Will
son, "and perhaps discussing Anglo
American relations"
Il hope it is nothing stronger than
that they are discussing" remarked
the queen pointedly.
"Oh, am certain it is not" re-
piled Mrs. Wilson.
"We must not give them too much
leeway," replied the queen, Especially
in war times, but presume that UNI
der the extraordinary circumstances,
we may loosen the reins trife. But
certainly when they are in the base
ment we do know where they are, and
that is something"
So the evening passed pleasantly
! and the. boys soon returned to the
sitting room looking very cheerful
and fairly bursting with good natured
candor. J. Russell in Minneapolis
