“HOW MUCH HAVE YOU?”
MACDONALD’S MEETING WITH LORD DAWSON AMUSING STORY TOLD United l’.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 10 a.m. LONDON, Friday. “During my first visit to Buckingj ham Palace,” declared the Prime I Minister, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, at 1 a Royal Society of Medicine banquet, i “while I was dazzled by the brilliant | uniforms, I noticed a man whose digI nity indicated that he had been born I there. “He asked me if I remembered him. When l 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 glanced hurriedly at my 1 few odd coppers, and replied, ‘How much have you got?’ “Our combined wealth was insufficient to save us from walking to Holloj way station. Who could have forecast that we would not meet again until we were the King’s guests. He was ; Lord Dawson of Penn, the King’s phy- | sician.” Lord Dawson proposed the toast of his Majesty during the evening. He said: —“This day last year began the grave illness which nearly cost his Majesty’s life. This is a suitable gathering at which to state that the King, in his recovery. goes from strength to strength.”
