HAD LITTLE NEED TO WOllKY. j
1'rince Ferdinand Leopold of AusI
tria is writing a book and in it he
i
j takes a fling or two at the British?
well, one or two. Naturally, not all
I of them are good natured. When the
late Kng Edward of England, then
princ-? of Wales, was visiting in Vienna
with the old emperor and a galaxy
of archdukes, he received a telegram
from London as he sat at a royal
dinner table. It was delivered amid:
some stir, for it was known that it |
had had special privileges on the!
wires and that probably it came from
his mother, the great Queen Victoria. {
Probably, everyone thought, it con- I
eerned affairs of state of vital mo;
inent.
The prince of Wales, impressed by
a somewhat similar idea, or, perhaps,
worrying for fear that he might be
recalled from his pleasant dalliance
in the then brilliant Austrian capital,
opened it at once with an anxious
look upon his face. The old Austrian
| emperor and the archdukes, who
were all at table with him, watched
him curiously as he read it.
Having done this he sighed with
some relief and then glanced about
the table at the remarkable display
of wines which always characterized
even the simplest of the Hapsburg
meals, .
Taking a pencil from his pocket af-'
ter this survey he scribbled a brief
answer to the telegram and then told
the tableful the contents of the message
and the nature of his reply. The]
telegram had been sent by his wor-1
ried mother, Queen Victoria, and
said:
"I hear the water in Vienna is not
good. Be careful of it. Victoria."
His answer said:
"Don't worry. Promise not to touch
it"
In speaking of the Scotch (this
being another of the good-natured
stories) the prince tells of a Macdonald,
taken prisoner by the Austrians
and becoming celebrated as a
story teller in the prison camp.
This Muc-donald it appears, like
every Scotchman, was inordinately J
hnncrrfnl nf his forebears. He was i
talking with an Austrian?one would J
think they must have been real pals!
?and said that his clan was most j
ancient and distinguished of all. Itj
