AN ANECDOTE
BY MR MACDONALD.
[United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this day at 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 22. “During my first visit to Buckingham Palace,” declared Mr Ramsay MacDonald, at the Royal Society of Medicine banquet, “While I wadazzled by the brilliant uniforms, T noticed a man whose dignity indicated he had been horn there. He asked me if J remembered him.. and when I replied in the negative he reminded me that years ago a medical student and myself went out together into Gower Street after a most respectable dinner. Looking at me anxiously he asked ‘how much have you got.’ ‘I replied huriredly my few odd coppers, how much have you got.’ Our combined wealth was insufficient to save us walking to Holloway Station. Who could have forecasted that we would not meet again until a.s the King’s guests. He was Lord Dawson, the King’s physician.”
