Show ENGLAND'S UNKNOWN KING. England does not know the King. Does the King know England? Has ho that Instinct for devinlng the si lent thoughts and wishes of tho na-tlon na-tlon that King Edward showed to perfection? per-fection? Has he Inherited his father's fath-er's royal gift for doing the right thvng at the right moment In the right way? I do not know; IdouM if anybody knows.

Ho seemed to fear the result of a plunge Into the fenzled mob . But King Edward Ed-ward knew better; he disengaged himself, with a smile, trusted the sporting instincts of h.s hores amid two yelling and miraculously formed lanes of strufgllng humanity. From which I argued that the Prince of Wales had still something to learn of the spirit of his countrymen Sidney Bro.ks in McClure's. |
