arrived uncle was engaged In talk with
the Major.
Georges glance lowered, resting cas-
ually upon the indistinct ground, and
he beheld some vague shapes, unfa-
miliar to him. Formless heaps, they
seemed; but, without much curiosity,
he supposed that sewer connections or
water pipes might be out Of order,
making necessary some excavations.
Not greatly disturbed, he pulled down
the shade, yawned, and began TO un.

Prince of Wales arrival in the United

vored of "all hands round" in it's ut

prince readily acceded to an insistent
demand from the villagers to shake
hands, He used his left hand for this
purpose, explaining that 1--WE done a
lot of that with the right lately"
Prince Edward, lighting from the
special train, touched American soil
for the first time in fifty-nine years
and some months after his illustrious
grandfather, who later Edward VII,
arrived in America. The entire popu-
lation of the town was down at the
dimly lighted little station to assist the
official reception committee in greet
ing the royal guest. The committee
mostly wore silk hats, the town folks
caps with ear muffs to protect them
selves from the biting wind.
A cheer went up as the prince step
ped to the platform and the Sixty-third
infantry band played God Save the
King" and "I'he Star Spangled Ban
ner." Edward stood at attention ana
the guard of honor presented arms.
Secretary Lansing then strobe for
ward and shook the princes hand, aft
er which the other members of the
committee and the villagers had their
innings squeezing the royal digits.
