J. DAVIS, KING EDWARD'S CHEQUE. Paper Rurely Seen -- London Shops keeper May Frame His Specimen, How many of King Edwards sub- jects, one may well wonder, have seen | a cheque signed by His Majesty? "I have just ecen one of these for the first time in my life," says a corre- spondent. "It was shown me by a certain West End tradesman who, though his firm has supplied the royal household for generations, confesses he has never known the King to sign a cheque before." As a rule, of course, cheques on His Majesty's private account are drawn and signed by Lord Knollys, and it is rarely thut His Majesty signa one of these little papers. In this particular instance, however, the King entered the shop quite cacunlly, ate tracted by rome object in the window, and, finding he had not sufficiend money with him at once drew a cheque, which the holder is thinking | of framing It may be Interesting to add that the cheque in guestion was drawn on Coutts' Bank, where the King has al ways kept his private account, &s does also Queen Alexandra, the Prinee ! and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Connaught and most other members | of the royal family Women Who Wear Talls, Lieut Boyd Alexander, who recent ty performed a remarkable journey of 8,000 miles ncrose Africa, told some | interesting storles of his feat to a of the Royal Geographical meeting | Bociety on Monday His mission was to carry out a sane gurvey of a portion of orthern Nigerian, and, secondly, to > eke LN " between the Niger and the | doing so he came across some very | strange tribes, .of whom he showed photographs.

As to "the long arm of coincidence," | 1t may be as long as 18 necessary. | Nothing 1s impossible to coinckience. | An Instance of my own experience, gald Andrew Lang, convinces me of this fact. I bad been reading a foolish | book, "Out of the Hurly Burly," and | some of the rhymes ran in my head. They began: Pury Bartholomew out tn the woods In a beautiful hote tn the ground. | In the afternoon 1 drove with a par | ty of friends, and we took the refresb- ment of tea at a house where there" were several other guests, all unknown to me even by name. As two of these ved at a place on our bomeward routs, they accompanied us in our ve- hicle.
