Would Rather be Doctor Than King.

Little Prince Edward, son of the Duke of Cornwall and York and future king of England, has his own ideas of what he wants to be. Not long ago the little ’ fellow was given his first book of English history. The volume was full of illustrations, including one of the unfortunate Charles I. on his way to his execution. Immediately the young prince wanted to know all about it, and he was told the story at length. On its conclusion he slammed the book shut with a decided air and said: “Oh, I don’t like that at all. I shan’t be a king. I’m going to be a doctor.”—Milwaukee Wisconsin.
