Newspaper Page TextHE WAS NOT ON EXHIBITION Occasion When Sir George Whits Was Surprised by Entirely Unex pected Reception. The late Sir George White was wonderful in the way of taking exer -0.-40, and when commander in chief in India u.-c.d to run his staff off their legs when gotng for exercise round the various roads in the neigh borhood of Simla. There is a tun nel by which the main road goes through the hillside at one spot, hut if is so narrow (hat a policeman is stationed at each end to keep the traffic going altt roately one way or the other. On the occasion of a large garden party, according to Sir Robert Badon-Powell, in his hook “Indian Memories,” when all the rank and fashion of Simla in their rickshaws were about to pass through the tun nel, the policeman slopped them and held up the traffic, for the news had spread that the lord sahib was com ing through. The ' h.rd sahib” is the title given by the natives both to the viceroy and to the commander in chief. Everybody waited expecting to see one or the other of these magnates riding through with all his glittering staff, instead of which there came from the tunnel a single, solitary •figure—a fall, thin man in a singlet and flannels, running in more senses than one, and*n< a little startled to find himself in the presence of Sim la’s society, coll-cted as if to receive him. It was Sir George White. R^--7T~T~I 1 GROW UP, v Ttfe MAKE L.OTo\ \ 'NF.S,AK‘D hM P' OOSt TCU h ' ' Mt A „ { IN LOTS E.R VgA,VV\ YOU SHOVJ MORt ' V SfcHSt Mt t BHj ‘bISTEKJ'b J RECOVERED HIS SPEECH.

He said he’d never seen it rain very hard, buf he’d seen some mighty cold weather. Somebody said, “Rule, how cold did you ever see it get?” He said, “Well sir. one time when I was living down in Picka way county in hog-killing time we had a kettle of boiling water se t mg on the stove.
