Prince of Wales

{ The title of prince of Wales, be-
slowed on the male heir first in line
to succession to the throne of Great
Britain, originated in the Fourteenth
century. Edward |, king of England,
who accomplished the conquest of
Wales, created the title in 1901.
Tradition has it that when a baby
prince was born in one of the castles
newly built in Wales by the victorious
monarch, the baby was presented to
the Welsh people as a prince 'who
could not speak English" When the
boy was seventeen, according to the
story. his father formally made him
prince of Wales. He later became
King Edward ii. His son, Edward III,
was known as Edward of Windsor and
was never made prince of Wales. But
ii has since become an invariable Gus
tom to honor the heir to the throne in
this way.
The title is not hereditary, but must
he created for each prince so honored.
Being purely honorary, no power or
authority is attached to 1t, although
parliament votes a yearly sum for the
support of its holder-Detroit News.

it is a difficult matter to establish
camps for those working these timber
tracts, big operators have passed them

of Simeon City is enabled to obtain
many valuable timber holdings

yard in Charlestown, ana somehow he
managed to get aboard a vessel from
which visitors were at the time eX-
Guided. An officer encountered him

could not remain. The visitor swelled
up and said that he was citizen of

owned part of the warship upon which
ne was standing, and that he had full
right to be aboard and would not de-
part.
The officer looked at bin moment.
Then he walked over to an anchor
chain and with his pocket knife
scraped Il bit of rust from it. Return
ing to the visitor, he extended the
flake of rust to him and said:
