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'.
