in the Boer war as a cavalry officer,

The Connaught family, possibly
owing to their long residence in Ire-
land, have a very keen sense of
,humor, every 'one of them. One of
the favorite stories of the Duchess,
indeed, relates to her Life there.-- It
seems that one day when she wad

jobber ran alongside the royal can,

finally stopped the carriage and ask-
ed the man what he wanted. He
explained that it was the wish of his
life to obtain a good look at her and
at the Duke. Somewhat flattered by
this. explanation, the Duchess re-
marked:
It mat have tired you dreadfully
to run beside the carriage in that
manner."
Oh, no," replied the Irishman,
gallantly. "Sure, an' haven't I been
chaefn' pigs all my life?"
On their marriage, the Duke and
Duchess settled at Bagshot Park,

from Aldershot. There they have

The Duke of Connaught has been

social gaiety which King Edward, as
heir -apparent, led for so long. "Duty"
has ever been the keynote of his

There has never been a time in
his life when the Duke of Connaught
has not stood high in the favor of
the British people. He has never
come athwart their prejudices He
has had no past to live down. Ha is,
happily, possessed of a tact which
has never yet failed him, and which
won him golden opigqi�ons in his re-
cent visit to South Aflics. When his
brother, the Duke of Saxe -Coburg and
Goths, died in 1900, he renounced
his claim to succession to that Duch
and repounced at the same time, 111
may be mentioned, the very large
income, tar exceeding that which he
draws, by way of annuity, from the
