THAT FOR MONET
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
ir. the money, put down by his less
fortunate comrades.
This continued for some time, when
the man at the head of the table felt J
he could stand It no longer; so he/
rose in a fearful temper and re
marked :
Look ye ere, hoys, someone here*
cheatin’. Now. I don’t want to
! mention any names, hut if he does it
1 again 111 knock his other eye out,”
O NLY those who have had th«
privilege to serve in King
George of England’s household
can realize the temptation that is
thrown in the way of those who are
known to be connected officially with
the court. To the credit of the mem
bers of the royal staff it has to be
said at once that these temptations
are nearly always treated with con
tempt. A recent incident, in which
two officials of the Lord Chamber
lain’s department were implicated,
shows, however, that sometimes the
temptations held out are more than
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
fectly 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 th«
mere fact that the confidence *of th$
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
fluence there, is not approached with
suggestions that he might benefit his
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 Chamber
lain’s department was offered a check
for $3,000 if he could get a royal
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,
with the result that the firm which
made the proposal is still without the
royal patronage and is probably won
dering why no orders from Bucking
ham Palace come its way.
Tt is not always money that Is the
bribe offered to court officials. So
cial advancement is often the bait
dangled before them. A case in point
may be quoted. One of the principal
subordinates of the master of the
horse was approached two or three
years ago by a lady of title with the
suggestion that she could obtain
handsome fee.s for presenting young J
ladies at court if he would undertake
that they should receive the neces-
i sary “commands.” The lady in ques-*
j tion possessed great influence in the
political world, and openly promised
the official a baronetcy if he would do
this for her. When he declined to
lake any part in this scheme he was
: then threatened with the lady’s grave
displeasure, and was bluntly told thaf'
she would make It her business to see
. that he was removed from his posi-*
tion. His retort was prompt and sur
prising. He went direct to his official
i chief and laid the whole incident be
fore him. with the result that he con
tinues to hold his position in the
1 household and the lady in question no
j longer receives invitations to court.
Lord Stamfordham once remarked
that ‘one never knows how popular
j one is until one is appointed to a
position at court.” This is certainly
true, since invitations from people of
whom one has had no previous knowl
edge simply pour in from all quar
ters upon those whose good fortune
it is to serve either the King or the
Queen. An amusing story may be
told in this connection. About this
time last year an extremely well
dressed lady went up to an official
of the Lord Chamberlain’s depart
ment in Piccadilly one morning, ad
dressed hini by name, shook him
warmly by the hand, reproached him
for having “neglected her for so
long.” and made him promise he
would call upon her on the following
Thursday. This done, she tripped
away, leaving the courtier gazing
after her in amazement, since he had
not. and has not to this day, the
slightest idea of her identity.
King- Edward’s Champagne.
Jt ts not often that an official of
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 cn
joy," and that for every l.OhO 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 chauffer, who pronounced them
rubbish, and that in those circum
stances he did not feel justified ini
pressing them upon his sovereign. '
It was due to the late King Ed
ward, one of the finest connoisseurs
of w-ine 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 foiund 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 identitj'.
