A ridiculous incident occurred at Windsor Castle, in connection with a recent function, that was not recorded by the Court newsman. Among those summoned to the royal presence was a gentleman of Brobdignagian proportions. It was with considerable difficulty that he knelt before Her Majesty ; but when he was requested to rise Sir Blank Blank, he was quite unable to obey the royal command, and in his confusion he literally rolled over before the Queen and her courtiers. Since the days of Sir John Falstaffi, nothing more comic has ever occurred in the royal borough. Including seven officers killed at the Haymarket tragedy, Chicago has lost eighteen policemen in two years at the hands of murderous criminals. An article is printed on “ How to Treat Your Wife.” One good way would be to treat her as well as you did before you married her, but few married men do that.
