Humorous Story |
By WILL ROGERS
flET another English Story based
^ on English Peasant life. The ,
English Toastmaster related it just 1
before proposing a toast to his
Royal Highness, the Prince of
Wales. If it hadn't been ,for the
story, we would have got to drink
earlier.
It was in France during the late
awkwardness. The Prince's Motor
Vehicle had become "non com" for
the mo, and the Prince was out
helping the driver to fix it when
a staff ear come up and the pilot
got out and aaked if- he could he
of any material assistance.
"No thanks," said the Prince,
"it's only a minor mishap."
The young Pilot kept looking at
the Prince and said, "Haven't I
seen that mug of yours before?"
"You may have. I am the Prince
of Wales. And you?" .
"Oh, me! 1 am the Kins!"
Three days later the Prince vu
visiting a famous flying squadron,
and as he entered the mess room
be spied the /ace of the l'ilot hj
had met on the road. Instant'y the
Prince's face broke into a smile,
and be immediately hollered, "Hello,
