HE WAS "IT."
When th-3 King was in Scotland recently lie promised >to review a boys' brigade. At the Inst minute, however, His Majesty was forced to cancel the engagement, and a local notability was hastily substituted; but the manager* of the affair thought it only right to notify ticket purchasers that royalty would not be present. Presently a small boy who was to take, part in the parade came along with a request for twa tickets for his parents. Ho was told of the disappointment in store for them. "Oh," said the lad, "they'll nae be disappointed. It's no' the King that faither and mither are ooomin' to see—it's me!"
