A REFUGE FOR PRINCES

THE youthful Prince of Wales has

people His brother. Prince Albert,
has gravely suggested to the members of
the Royal Academy of Painters that
they take fling at sign painting and
beautify the country. Now. the ROYAL
Academy is old and settled in its ways,
Its judgments and standards in the art
of painting were arrived at during the
reign of Victoria, and since then the
academicians have stood as pat as tho
Bank of England. They are not vet
reconciled even TO the impressiouism of
Manet and Whistler. Young Albert
must have sounded 10 them like cubist
OF princes, vorticist of government.
But they applaudcd him. He, too, il
seems, has become one of the people.
Philosophers who found in the war
and the peace a new incentive to Dro

kings and statesmen, are responsible
for the great disasters that follow de-
fective methods of government. Tbcv
contend that the crowds, loving septi-
mentalities and the theatrical gesture.
given to thoughtless pride and a quick
temper, make rulers what they have
been in the past.
The British have done as much MS
they could we'll do TO spoil their princes
with adulation. They have two princes
now who have been wise enough to seek
safety and refuge in the crowds. Tho
present question is whether royalty will
improve in its new environment

a fine spirit prevailed in the navy.

although they began to say he was right
about his famous order barring liquor

Josephus has such a talent for con

MAY AGAIN

A GAIN the southern winds at ease

While DER the heavens gay
Is writ in hues of gold and wine
A brightly bazoned script divine
May comes again, sweet May ~
Again what glories wake the dawn,
And how old warrior trouble wan
Is barred and driven out
What lyric song the robins bring.
How musical the dronc bees wing,
And how the children shout!
Four walls are all too narrow now;
| follow where the manly plow
Upturns the fragrant mead
Where rolling harrows powder fine
The seed beds, or where soft t-eyed kline
On new sprung grasses feed.
But sweeter than all nature rife
with song and bloom that zest of life
Which fills the spirit up
with thankfulness for homely food,
Aud peace that whispers God is good"
And overruns my cup.
On, what of the dream that faded fast.
Or the tickle "gleam" that glanced and
passed,
Or the wine that turned to rue.

supposed that warships of about 81. 900
