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. WELL, LOTS OF L. Times it's The ''"-'TBUWK r jfi !

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.

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,”
