(Continued from Pace Four.) ly cannot make It worse, not only' be cause of the supreme badness of the other Georges, but because the people of England now role the realm and the king has little opportunity for evil even if he had the disposition to be bad. A Second Son. . The new king, whose full name Is George Frederick Ernest Albert. Is the second son of King Edward and Queen Alexandra. Born on June 3. 1863, be came next In, line of succession through the death on Jan. 14. 1892, of his elder brother. Albert Victor Chrls Jan Edward. As a lad the king had a very mis chievous disposition, and bis many pranks led his father to send blm to sea "to tone him down a bit" He spent some years before the mast, got Into a troublesome love affair, but finally emerged with serious habits and a reputation that has since clung ta-blnl.of "the sailor prince of the British Isles.", The chief events of King George's life thus far have been his marriage and his trip around the world. On July fl. 1S93, he was united to Princess Victoria Mary : of Teck. popularly known as "Princess May." the grand daughter of the first Duke of Cam bridge. Queen ', Victoria's nncle. , , n charming and cultured woman, who because she Is. . the first English xn wife of an English king since the time of James II. ! ' " '' They have six children, of whom the eldest, Prince Edward Albert ChrisUan George Andrew ( Patrick David, will some day. if be lives, be king of Eng land.' -V ' ' : As William Howard Taft la the greatest traveler ' among American presidents, so J3eorge V,-ls the greatest traveler" tfuaong English sovereigns. His Bacchante cruise represented no fewer lliua' 54,070 miles. :, During his colonial tour six yeartf ago ue and the queen traveled over 45.000 miles, of which 33,000 were by sen, and In ail those Journeys, with the exception of Port Said, he never set foot on any land where the union jack did not fly. Agnln.'on his famous trip to India the prince traveled 8.807 miles by rail way alone. ' lie - spent : twenty-eight nights In the train and' delivered fifty speeches and performed a multitude of ceremonies. 'm ' s; . Canada Is better acquainted with the personality of King George than she was with that of King Edward, who only once visited the Dominion. In the seven mouths during whlen he was away from home In 1901 the new king traveled 40,000 miles by wa ter and many hundreds of miles on land, a total distance of more than twice around the world. He left the country on his long tour as the Duke of Cornwall and York. A few days after his return on Nov. 8, 1901, he was given the title of Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. In 1905 he paid a brief visit to India. The king is devoted to outdoor sports and Is regarded as one of the best ten nls players in England. He also likes to oluv whist with members of bis family and Intimate friends. During the last ten or fifteen years he has spent most of his time at home, visiting bis estates and superintending the education of his children. A Sedentary life. For that time bis life has been call ed ' most unexciting, in ' marked con trast to that of his father. The old king, said a recent- correspondent, "weighted with thetrown, rushes up and down the land In motorcars and special trains, attending christenings race meetings, receptions, gardeu par ties, semlatate nud Htate functions morning, noon ami night. ' ''The son, whose only trouble seems book. iTei docs absolutely nothing aiid does It with such pa masterly inactiV' Ity as to rouse one almost to enthusl asm at the Idea of how successfully this proud prince- 'manages to while away his golden days. "The prince, the princess and the rest of the family are up betimes, which meaus about 8 odock In the morning. There Is. the ordinary break. fast of a well to do English family and the head of It beguiles the inter vals between bacon and eggs with the morning papers. After breakfast there are charity letters to dictate to a sec retary, for even .the Prince of Wajea , Is not exempt, from - the incessant stream of begging .letters and appeals from charitable Institutions , which weight down the' postman's bag at every delivery; " . . "Having completed this, the heaviest task of the day, the prince goes for a wnlk in St. James, park or Hyde park, accompanied by tone of his . equertlea who ive in Marlborough House, and when this constitutional is over It Is lir.ie to go buck and prepare for luuch c;. Sometimes there Is a guest, but liimv -often the meal la 'taken only iu Uio couumuy. of one of the equerries and ar'ladjr of -the priuccsV iusouU!. Luncheon over, there must lx? some stamps to sort. The prince's stamp collection Is the fluent In the world and Is said to be worth re than j0O.OOH, "Then fomex Mii.ir 'walk' in iiu. ' park nud then h t . 'u to tvad ui:..

If the royal couple go to the theater, din ner I set for 7, but aa they do not of ten go to the theater the evening Is spent quietly at home, the prince, read ing a book and the princess doing some useful fancy work with the nee dle. "Bed at half past 10 o'clock p. tn. Is this not truly a picture of beautiful domestic bliss? Nevertheless 1 am quite certain that when the Prince of Wales comes Into his own he will sur prise the British people by his mental grasp of affairs, his wide sympathy with all classes of the people nud his Inherited capacity for governing." Growth of Popularity. x Lately, however, the prince, at the express command of his father, had taken a more active part in public af fairs. Withthis increased activity there came an increase or perhaps a more correct word would be a growth of popularity, which probably pleased no one more than King Edward. Like bis father, the new king Is not a good speaker. But be can say what he wishes to say, and. If he speaks tersely, it la always to the point, while he la an exceptionally able man of business. So far as can be judged, the new: king's sympathies are not so wide as those of bis father, but his In terests are multifarious. He Is a practical expert, on airships. and, of course, bis naval knowledge is profound.. 'Probably no one knows as much about - hospital management as j he does, and his speech some years ago aboul the Brussels exhibition won marked notice not only In England, but on the continent. By inclination King George's tastes are sedentary, except that he is fond of shooting, but almost daily be rides for an hour. The Sailor King;.' Since he was called "the sailor prince,' George V. will doubtless be come known as "the sailor king." ; He Is a great Jpver of the sea.jand be has often SaliTTbaThad "he notbeen of royal blood be would have entered the navy and by hook or by crook have risen to the post of admiral. When as a youngster In 1877, a few days short of twelve years of age, he stepped aboard the Britannia at Dartmouth for a naval training bo undertook exactly the same work as his fellow cadets. And later, wheu he passed Into the navy and served with . various war ships in the seven seas,. be spared him self no task that fell to the lot of others. Indeed, he frequently under took duties which 4Id not come within his sphere. "I wanted to learn my profession," he said, "and one doesn't become a sailor, by walking up and down deck." ... An English critic writing for nn American paper once penned a sketch of the new king. ' "Intellectually." the critic said, "he Is a typical Guelph. He has not inher ited bis father's quick moving mind. His speeches are rather terrible per formances to read or listen to. He has never quite found his platform legs. To do hlra justice, he bad no desire to find them; he would far rather be on TTCTORU VART, TBI ItEW QTTEKIT. a quarterdeck. But he cannot escape fhe pcnalUes of his position. .Hardly a week goes' by without his being obliged to deliver a public speech on some subject of which he probably knows nothing-of which, at any rate, he cannot possibly kuow more than the alphabet. A clever man would get us'cd to such ordeals, would even learn how to emerge from them triumphantly- But fifteen years at sea Is not a good preparation for thl kind of work, mid the prince gets no further than a few amiable commonplaces, awkward ly expressed. Very possibly the "Eng lish public would prefer not to have It otherwise. A brilliant prince would strike a great many Englishmen as Im z Saturday's t t o t o t t We call attention below SATURDAY SPECIALS $ Assorted Lace, Embroidery and Fancy Collars 35c to 50c values, Saturday . . ; . . . . . ... 27c o Black and Colors, Lace and Embroidery, 40c - and 50c values, Saturday . . . . . : . . 28c 1 5000 yards Ribbon, bought at a ridiculous low;.;. 4 price, all colors, Taffeta, 4 3-4 inches wide ; j '.' good weight, 35c and 40c values, Saturday. 23c Sample line bought so we are able to sell for: .
