HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS.
HAPPY DISCLOSURES.
ADVENTURES AT SCHOOL.
BLACK EYES AND SWANK. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright (Received Nov. 10, 11.10 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 9. Among many happy disclosures in Edgar Middleton’s book, “H.R.H.,” is King Edward’s deep attachment to his grandson Edward, for whom he arranged his first pocket money, one shilling weekly. The book reveals that the Prince at the age of eight often discussed with his grandfather the relative merits of beooming a policeman or an enginedriver. As a schoolboy Edward had to explain to his grandfather the reason for a blaok eye. ‘‘One of the chaps ‘Royal Hlghnessed’ me, so I had to teach him.” On another occasion the Prince fought a school-fellow for half-an-hourin the dormitory because he accused him of swank by referring to his grandfather as the King.
