Many years ago the present King
was a lieutenant on board H.M.S.
Alexandra, at that time flying the
liag of his uncle, the late Duke of
Edinburgh, •oommander-in-chief of
,Mediterranean fleet. Prince
,-MO'rge, as he was then, was very
fond of seeing, and never. missed
an opportunity of taking the gun-
room officers away on a seiningeice
etersion. On one such occasion,
somewhere round the Grecian
:Arthietelago, 'the tatter was lying
&lenge-tele -fall up with the Uoung
bleo.ds of the gunroom, of whom,
if 1 remember- rightly, the present
Vice-Mil:dial Sir David Beatty was
one.
The 'blood boat" (Jolly boat)
was lying astern with the seine net
neatly coiled down on grating fixed
over the stern sheets, all ready for
casting as soon as the boats reach-
ed shore. Everything was ready,
and the party only waited for the
Prince, when the .coxwain of the
*utter went running up the accom-
modation ladder evidently•with the
intention of going inboard; at the
top of the ladder he ran into the
Prince, just -coming out. ,
"Huila," said our future king,
-"where are you geeing?" "Just to
get my pipe ,and baccy, sir," re-
plied the petty officer. "Oh, we
• can't wait for that now," replied
Prince Aporge, "everybody is
ready." .Then seeing the look of
disappointment on the man's face
ha put his hand in his pocket anti
leveed out his cigar ease, with,
*Help yourself out of this." And
now, apparently, ,the present
Prince of 'Wales is doing exactly
, the same kind of -thing!
-What the Stork Brought.
• There was onee a young couple

students in the universities and
schools, crowded into -cities within

without the pale, insulted c'onstante

ed of "ritual murder" in the
courts, anal beaten to death by leo-
geora rioters in the street, the un-
fortunate Jews would seem to have
little reason for loyalty or patriotic
feeling: and yet -since the war be-
gan they have subordinated person-
al resentment to a higher sense of
duty, and, foe the sake of "the
fatherland," have done all that the
most ardent patriots could do to
support the monarch who has ap-
pressed them anel to defend the
state .that has discriminated

The Ru.seuens have every eause to

"Last sorb:1g 1 happened to contract a
cold. Of couree, this is a cotenant oc1.
carence, ancl I did not take any particu-
lar notice of it at the time. However, it
did not break up as quickly as colds
generally did with me, so after two weeks,
and no sign of improvement, I began
to get alarmed, and went to my local
physician who informed rue that I had
contracted severe bronchial trouble as a
result of neglecting my cold. He pre-
scribed some medicine for me, which
took for about two weeks without any
sign of improvement. I was getting
pretty mucli discouraged by then, hut
one day a friend happened to be in to
whom I was relating my trouble, and he
advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway
Bine Syrup, saying that he had obtained
very beneficial resulti from its use in
-a similar case. X took his advice and
procured several bottles from my drug-
gist. After taking it, according to direc-
tions, for about two days, I noticed a
decided improvement, and from that
clay on I began to get better, and in tett
days I was in nay usual health. I con-
sider this an excellent showing for your
remedy, and can highly reconunend it to
anyone affiieted as I was. I shall always
put in a good word for it whenever the
opportunity offers itself."
