STOOD ON HIS HEAD
TO REBUKE QUEEN

Lord Frederick Hamilton in The

gives an interesting story of the visit
Of Queen Victoria to the Abercorn
family al their country estate near
Belfast, Ireland. The visit of the
Queen had necessistated the sur
render of thee hildren's nursery to
the convenience Of the royal guests.
Tho children resented this deprivation
and hated the cramped quarters in
which they were confined. On the

ed, resentment. still ranked.
Two of the elder children were
brought before the Queen. According
to Lord Hamilton all passed serenely
The children IN their turn curtsied to
the Queen and behaved as mannerly
children should. But the youngest
child was not impressed by the sover-
eign's presence-he only knew that
this pompous woman was the cause
Of his exclusion from his chosen do
main. Therefore. he decided that he
would not curtsey but do something
that was rather more OF feat. So
he stood on his head! Poor old Vic
toria couldn't see the humor of this.
Even the perfect way the child stood
on his head carried no weight and
she waxed indignant and the agile
child was borne away in disgrace
Later, the child was brought to offer
his apologies and he gave them up
side down-for he stood on his head
again. The family reasoned with
him, but to no avail. He did not see
the validity OF the devine right of
Kings as far as his nursey was con-
cerned and Victoria had to go away
without an apology. Even royalty
had to learn something from the
nursery fiction.
