THE KING AND THE SHRIMPER. + < Whilst at Samlriiigliam the King forgets his high rank, and to everyone is hut a country squiro. One day, when driving a dog-cart not far from till'sen-coast., lie was overtaken by an old shrimp-woman with a, heavy basket of shrimps on her head. She looked at the Prince (as he was then), and, not, recognising him, piteously besought him for a lift. His iloyal Highness laughingly acceded, and drove the old lady several miles. "Where are you taking the shrimps?"' asked the Prince. " To market, sir !" " Do you wish to sell them, or are they sold V\ " No, I hain't sold 'em. What'll yer gie us for'em. sir? "Will yer gie me five shillin' V His Royal Highness laughed. " I'll give you a picture of my mother for them." i The old lady stared. \ " Eh, but that 'oan't gie my little | 'un's bread." j " I think it will," said the Prince, I " If it' doesn't, bring it back to me." ' And he gave her a sovereign. ' The old woman gasped with surprise. She was silent until she alighted from the dog-cart. Then she curtseyed and said: j " It's a good likeness, sir. Its a proud 'ooman I be this day, sir. and thank ye kindly. God bless ye, sir." C.H.
