Their Ca- nadian voyage has impressed upon them the importance that she see some of the United Kingdom which she will one day rule. The Duke of Windsor, when Prince of Wales, was the last heir to visit Caanada. Real Canadians, not the “imitation British” of whom he grew so weary on his Canadian trips, still adore him. 1t seems likely that the populace, which has gone wild over the royal tour of their king and queen, would go completely “looney” if Princess Elizabeth, now the same romantic figure as the young Prince of Wales, were to visit Canada.

It was thjre, under the friendly tutelage of White, that he began to give the world his prose poems and became known as “Un- cle Walt."

Ad- ams saw the beauty and appeal in tthem and tried them out. They went well and Adams and Ma soon became close personal friends as a result. Three of Mason's poems have them and tried them out. They are “The Little Green Tents" “The Journey,” and “The Eyes of Lincoln.” Another great influence in Ma- son's life was his wife. In 1893 he married Ella Foss at Wooster, Ohio. Ade’s Tribute On his intelieciural side Mason was self educated. He got his know- ledge of the world direct rather than from books. His experiences took him among all sorts of peo- ple, from the finest hotels to low- est hovels. He had ridden in Pull- mans and walked the ties, the lat- ter because he had to. His poems reflected his knowledge of and sym- pathy with the average American in all his vicissitudes. George Ade referred to him as “The high priest of horse sense.” | Speaking of his schooling, Mason said he simply could not learn a lot of things which his teachers thought highly essential to getting on in the world. One of these things was arithmetic. It was his confession that he would rather walk ten miles than add up a col- umn of figyres, and he hated to walk. His geography teacher used to sit on the floor and wring his whiskers In exasperation at Walt's BEFORE——AND AFTER By GARDNER SOULE!

The reason for the absence of Galento rold in Louis’s record. He has defended his title much more freque:tiy 1 any other re- cent heavyweight champion, nd he has defended it with astonishing success. Louis has stopped his last three opponents in less than one- round each. Louis seems able to go on indefinitely as champion. His opponents aren’t able to go much of anywhere after they fight him.

Gray’s “Elegy” Favorite One thing Walt did like was his school readers. In them he found poems and essays, especially poems. His favorite was Gray's “Elegy.” Until his last days that poem gripped him and he knew it by heart. He was all the time repeat- ing verses of it, especially before retiring. Mason’s own poetry came nat- |urally. He would sit down to write and out it would come in rhyme as easily as in prose, easier in fact, after he acquired more agility. He | frequently wrote news in rhyme and | headlines also. He once transeribed a legal paper in rhyme just to show‘ it could be done. | The rippling rhymster had a| large and appreciative audience. The little daily prose poems were syndicated to scores of papers and brought him not only a large in-| come but thousands ‘of letters from all over. He said: “I receive the finest letters in the world and thousands of them. I have a happy family, loyal friends, generous employers, a good car and a standoff at the filling station— and what more could an old bard ask?” The Masons moved from Em- poria to La Jolla, Cal. in 1921. Sit- ting in his little villa wighin sight of the sea he sent out his little | daily couriers of joy to the world |with which, despite the way it treated him in his youth, he was at peace. | Ehiay L H e R.
