PRINCES MEMORY WAS GOOD
Heir to British Throne Had One Quail
ity That Is indispensable
to Politician.

On one occasion Mr.. Louis Sterne,
an engineer and inventor, and a
friend of Charles Dickens, showed the
late Edward VII. then prince of
Wales, his exhibits at South Kensing-
ton and the Crystal palace.
"The next time l met the prince"
said Mr.. Sterne, 81 was crossing
Picadilly, at the top of st. James
street. In trying to escape being run
down | ran directly into the arms
of his royal highness. He at once
recognized me and said: Mr.. Sterne.
you should give this traffic time and
never cross the bows / expressed
surprise that he should recognize me.
to which he replied that he never for
got either face or name if associated
with any matter Of interest"
Mr. Sterne met the prince again
at a picture exhibition where a Dor
trait of the late w. ii. Smith was
hung. Turning to the princess, his
royal highness said:
"HalIo. there's Smith,"
At once man standing near turned
around and acknowledged the recog-
milton, offering his hand. which the
prince unhesitatingly accepted. When
this man, whose name happened to
be Smith. recognized the prince, he
became embarrassed and. with the lady
who accompanied him, made his exit
as soon as possible.

did not at once perceive Georges
