The accepted picture of Prince George of Wales, now King, is that of an amiable but not too effectual English gentleman, who has lived 4 5 years of a life that is said to have held little laughter. lie is a man who has been describ? ed often as without salient traits. He is a kind husband and father, collects postage stamps, mechanical toys and picture posters and wears a small hat. Fi3hing, shooting, golf and billards are his recreations and the fact that he has spent most of his life at sea is given as the explanation of his nev? er riding to hounds. He has a taste for farming, which he indulges In, raising fancy fruits and vegetables. His life from early manhood to ma? turity was pent in England's navy, and the time was when England ac? claimed him with a touch of enthu? siasm as .her "Sailor Prince." As a youth he was more popular than his brother, the Duke of Clarence, by whose death he became direct heir to the throne, but as Prince of Wales he has shone dimly in the public light, and is now praised principally on the score of his flawless respecta oility. Mostly he has lived in pri? vate, and in conversation is said to show none of the light, swift thought, still less the adroit tact, that were considered remarkable in his father. Ho has been obliged to speak In pub? lic frequently, but seems never to have been able to formulate a sen? tence that has lingered in the public mind. He was born at Marlborough House June 3, 1865, just 17 months after the birth of his elder brother, the Duke of Clarence. The two young princes entered the navy together as cadets in 1877, and after spending two years on the training ship Britannia started on a three years' voyage around the world in the Bacchaute. On the cruise they were accompanied by a tutor. Rev. Mr. Dalton, who, on their return, prepared for the press a vol? ume said to have been written by them in collaboration, giving descrip? tions and ancedotes of countries vis? ited by them. In 1883 Prince George was made a midshipman on the Canada, station? ed on the North Atlantic Coast, and in 183 5 was promoted to a lieuten? ancy after passing a set of difllcult ex? aminations with distinction. In 1890 he >\ as given the command of the gunboat Thrush, on the West Indan Station. During the same year he opened the Jamaica Industrial Exdo sition and the year following he was made a full commander. On a trip to Ireland he contracted typhoid fever, was brought near death and recovered only after a long con? valescence. The Duke of Clarence died January 14, 1892, and Prince George became heir to the throne. It was then that the popular imagina? tion settled on him the title of "Sailor Prince." All navy officers who have served with the new King have agreed in calling him an excellent captain and capable sea officer. His whole heart was always in his naval work, and the Prince was always lost to view In the sailor. He spent 15 years in ac? tive naval service and abandoned it with general regret. In 1893 there was announced his engagement to Princess Mary of Teck, who had been betrothed to his brother, the Duke of Clarence. There had been oppostion by Queen Vic? toria to the engagement between the Princess and the Duke of Clarence, but in the case of the Prince of Wales, then Duke of York, Queen Victoria favored the match in every way. The marriage took place July 6. 1893, in the Chapel Royal, at St. James' Pal? ace. Six children have been born of the marriage?Edward Albert, Albert Frederick, Victoria Alexanderla, Henry William, George Edward and John Charles. On the celebration of his safe re? turn from a tour of the British col? onies In 1901 he was entertained by the London Corporation at Guildhall and In B speech aroused comment by pdvising the nation to "wake up." In 1908 he came to Canada and took part In the celebration at Quebec. 11 is difficult even at this time to define England's attitude toward its new King. For years it has been re? peated that the nation was withhold? ing its opinion until he should have Liseended the throne. He is not a patron of the national sports and has en seen Infrequently at the race < ourse. in one respect, however, he is es t- em cd of his people?-there has been no s<-and il In his life. He Is describ? ed as thoroughly amiable, but much less ih mocrntlc than King Edward, and as Im ing given to tits of profound melancholy, for which no explana? tion Is forthcoming, unless, perhaps, t ial it Is In the Guclph blood. Mr. Ilallinger's Indignation seems to be of the kind thai doesn'1 hide the dread and terror underneath. '? ? < ?. ,r,. mtfrVttv iwkwnrri i m Jl,?* * WS alcohol 3 per cent.
