O X I, Y those who have hud the
privilege to serve in King
George of England's household
van realize the temptation that is
thrown in the way of those who an*
known t.o be connected officially with
the court To the credit of the tnetn-
of the royal staff it has to he
at once that these temptations
always treated with con-
in which
Lord Chamber-
were implicated,
iometimes the
held out are more than
OF-Courts.

said
are nearly
t< mpt. A recent incident
two officials of the
Iain’s department
shows, however, that
temptations
can be resisted.
Punishment in such a case is swift
and severe. So soon as any one joins
the royal household it is made per-
1 feet I y plain to him or her that any
attempt to gain personal profit by
reason of their position means in
stant dismissal, and this rule is never
departed from, no mater how impor
tant their post may be. No mitigat
ing circumstances are taken into con
sideration in such a case, and the
mere fact that the confidence of the
sovereign has been betrayed is re
garded as sufficient to have the cul
prit removed from the court.
No Orders From the Palace.
It is safe to say that scarcely a day
passes that any one.known to be con
nected in any way with the royal
\ household, or possessed of any in-
duence there, is not approached with
suggestions that he might benefit bis
own pocket by falling in with
schemes propounded to him. It is not
many months since one of the best
known officials of the Lord t’hamber-
lain’s department was offered a check
for $3,000 if he could get a royal
i warrant stating that the firm in ques
tion had been specially appointed to
! supply a certain article to the King.
It was known, of course, to those
who made this offer that the official
in question had access to the blank
forms upon which these warrants are
drawn up, and that it would not have
been a matter of the least difficulty
to get one of these signed by the then
Lord Chamberlain among his daily
pile of documents. The offer was in
dignantly rejected and the whole mat
ter reported to Viscount Knollys. his
majesty’s principal private secretary.

COME ON MARY GRAB
my Mirr: (
Lord Stamfordham ona- remarked
that “one never knows ht»w popular
one is until one is appointed to a
position at court." This certainly
true, since invitations from people of
whom one has had no previms knowl
edge simply pour in from all quar
ters upon those whose goo< fortune
it is to serve either the Kii^>- or the
Queen. An amusing story may be
told in this connection. At*>ut this
time last year an extremeV well
dressed lady went up to an official
of the Lord Chamberlain's depart
ment in Piccadilly one mornirg. ad
dressed him by name, shook him
warmly by the hand, reproached him
for having “neglected her foi so
long." and made him promise he
would call upon her on the folloVing
Thursday. This done, she trifeed
away, leaving the courtier garing
after her in amazement, since he fcd
not. and has not to this day, tie
slightest idea of her identity.
King Edward's Champagne.
It is not often that an official o.
the court is so directly approached
with an offer of monetary reward for
his services in getting a royal war
rant as was the case a few months
ago. He was written to by a firm of
cigarette merchants hailing from
America, forwarding him samples of
their goods, together with the cool in
timation “that they were well aware
that the cigarettes were just the
thing the King could smoke and en
joy," and that for every 1,000 that
His Majesty ordered the official ap
proached could have 60 per cent of
the account repaid.
The reply was curt, but deserved.
It was to. the effect that the samples
had been handed by the courtier to
his chauffej, who pronounced them
rubbish, and that in those circum
stances he did not feel justified in
pressing them upon his sovereign.
It was due to the late King Ed
ward. one of the finest connoisseurs
of wine who ever lived, being served
with a very indifferent brand of
champagne one morning that the
gravest case of corruption that has
ever been proved against the officials
of the British court was brought to
light. He asked the name of the firm
who supplied it and what on earth
it was doing in his cellars. He pur
sued this matter to some length, and
ultimately found that one of his most
trusted servitors had been substan
tially bribed to introduce this wine
into the bins of the then Prince of
Wales preliminary to an application
for the royal warrant in the ordinary
course. It is on record that the of
fender in this case was continued in
his position just under half an hour
after King Edward was informed of
his identity.

Didn’t mention Names.
A number of enthusiasts, returning
from an important match in New
York, were playing cards in a railway
carriage. Among the number was a
rather shady individual who had lost
one eye. but seemed to be winning
freely, and time after time he scooped
iii the money, put down by his less
fortunate comrades.
This continued for some time, when
the man at the head of the table felt
he could stand it no longer; so he
rose in a fearful temper and re
marked :
“Look ye ’ere, boys, someone here
i‘ cheatin’. Now. 1 don’t want to
mention any names, but if he does it
again I’ll knock his other eye out,”
