The victorious conclusion of the sl-cet War sent a great wave of optimism and relief all over' Great Britain and the Empire.

Village and hamlet was agog, and Charlotte- town in foie. The swallow-tail was on the operating table having the dust spanked out and the creases and rough places ma/.le smooth. The "beaver", that crowning glory ot prvud man. under brush and silk handkerchief, was taking on the polish and shine to fit it for its place amongst compeers of style and dignity. Flor great was to be tim occasion, and keen the com- petition. Both tuned and brushed up to their best: and why? To bid welcome and to do homage and honor to Royalty. The orb of day had just settled behind the golden horizon. Her Majeety's Ship “Dart” had dl'0l7- ped anchor. and decorated with flags and ensigns of Royalty rested Pclweilllly on the waters of the Hillsboro. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, the gladly welcom- ed guest of the City and Province, was on board preparing to embark. Queelfs Wh-arf and the docks near- by were peopled by an eager and expectant multitude. The vessels and harbor craft dressed in their flying colors united to honor the distklguished visitor. In those days the decorative art was in the prime of skill and nat ure’s perfection. The whole city was in e. great blaze of glory, mer- chant and official and householder, vieing with ee/ch othe; in the con- test for supremacy in the magnifi- cence of display. Outstanding ,in this race for distinction were the large businesawhouaes of Ben] Davies, G. and S. Davies, J. B Carveli and Peake Bros. and Co. Flags were floating from every win- dow, and from improvised fiagstaffs in front of each premise. Private houses all over the city emulated this example, and from lawn sates to cupola or turret the sentiment of the home was voiced in the multi colored streamers and emblematic declarations of loyalty md welcome to the son of our Queen. As His Royal Highness and Suite deoended from the "War-ship” ln- to the Barge of state the guns of St. C.eorge‘s Battery at Fort Ed- ward pealed forth the twenty-one gun Royal Salute i.n glad welcome, announcing as far as the voice of cannon could reach, the arrival of our expected guest and, amid the °.~.-r, in-= r;n:;.:.g x Church bells. and the strains of rich music funn the Volunteer Band, the RDYBI visitor received the first hand-shake onthe Island, named after his illustrious grand- father Edward. Duke of Kent. from the representatives of a colony most affectionate in their loyalty to a beloved Queen. The first arch at head of Queen's Wharf was of Gothic design, of evergreen spruce and profuse floral decoration. The Union Jack waved in majestic splendour from its sum- mit, with auxiliary ensigns on eith- er side adorned with mottoes,- “Weloome: welcome to H.R.H. Prince Arthur, and thrice welcome to Queen Vlctoria's son." Passing along the carpeted land- ing and emerzilis from the Arch 'the Prince was formally received by Sir Robert Hodgson.

Indeed, it is not too much to say that His Majesty was respon- sible more than anyone else for the great patriotic feeling which seem- ed to electrlfy the whole country during and immediately after the crisis. The overwhelming victory of Mr. M,a.oDonald’g first Coalition Government at the polls was a complete vindication of the King's opinion that the situation, like the Great War, demanded united ac- tion and that such action was de- sired by the mass of the people. 'I’he dramatic abandonment by Britain of the Gold Standard later created a minor crisis of its own, but the National Government succeeded in countaracting any major evil resuligl-much to the world's amaze- rrsmt and envy- It is said that a foreign mon- archonce asked the King how he felt towards all the various crises in his reign. 'The Innis vs. Commons crisis worried me because I had little ex- perience of politics," the King is re- ported to have answered. “the Irish question annoyed me because with goodwill and common sense it could easily have been settled; the War pained me terribly owing to the awful slaughter. and the recent ec- onomic crisis alarlrrcd me because it was something new and unfor- asm and like a vhitation from above. That the countries of the Empire are the most stable and prosper- ous in the world is due in no small measure in the really great and wise Bnperor. Queen Victoria and King Edward VII were both fierce- ly attacked in their lifetime, but not a word of abuse and criticism has ever been direct/ed against H. M. King George V. When one considers his turbulent twenty-five years’ reign, such a fact seems a miracle. Prom one crisis to another the King has stepped-always unwilling but never falteringly. and at the end of each and all he has emerged with enhanced prestige and pop- ularity. - No ordinary moliarch could have aeccmplilhed this-it is a manifes- klngly genius never sur- the annals ofsny Royal ii 52 so- i il "‘° W’ . _ -»..<.» , \ . .V » 5 l 2? 7 ii A series of true stories contributed by Island writers in ccnnec- I tion with the Story Contact sponsored by the Prince Eawgra A Feta' To Royalty voclferous cheering of the crowd-.

In the line of march a torchlight procession add- ed to the lustre. Houses and sicres were ablam with iliuminations in all the hues of the rainbow, and the tlnts of artistic genius. So elabor- ate and so bright that even the countcnances of the Prince and his escorts were plainly visible to the masses that thxonged the highway. In front of the Market Square a triple Arch, designed by Major Pollard, C.C. was erected. The Union Jack fiaunted its proud col- ors from the pinnacle. Suspended from the interior an evergreen -R wreath was interwoven with white roses, and Bt. George's Cross in its center. Inscribed on one side the | moticr, "Arthur Patrick William Albert,” son of our beloved Queen." And as the great procession mov- ed onward towards Govemment House the vast gathering of people and jostling multitudes made the and re-echo with the hearty and prolonged cheering. and the lusty declarations of enthusiastic wel- come from the populace. It was after sunset. Private houses in every quarter of the City were illuminated. not in slip-shod man- ner but in artistic taste.

It was a City all ablaze in gorgeous display reflecting the iridescence of the rainbow and the' changing hues of a jewel bespangled demon- stration. Only ii. few days preceeding this His Excellency Sir John Young, Governor General (of Irish decent) had paid official visit ./o the Island. Our bard. of "Paddy the Piper” | fame, gave welcome in the follow- ing stanza, iatcr adapted to the Royal Prince Patrick: "How are Sir John? and how have you been?

The day following (Sunday) was transformed from a day of rest in- to a sphere of curiosity and excito- ment. We, of the small boys, load- ed up to our hair roots with a crave to see just what a real live Prince looked like. The children of Vic- toria the Good were educated to the love of the House oi God. and His Highness attended Divine wor- ship in the Established Church. Old St. Paul’s was then less pic- turesque than the beautiful green awarded edifice of today. The church grounds were surrounded by a solid board fence six feet high. Our boy generation was endowed -with en- ough of political ambition to aim after n conspicuous seat on the top of the fence. The whole was converted into a grand .stand with sitting room at a premium. I was suooemful in corlscripting the West- ern corner and over the sea. of feathered bonnets and stove-pipe hats I had a splendid view of the Prince exalted in his lofty seat in the Governors carriage. There was some disappointment. The story pictures of princes and kings with cocked hats and gold epaulets and stripes had misled me. Instead of stately personage of mil- itary mien, decked with gilding; and badges of distinction wc be- held a nineteen year old boy, of handsome and benevolent features, dressed in the finer broadcloth of our own genteel, ever and anon bowing court/eously in recognition of the subdued enthusiasm of the people, the manners of a mlm of culture on the shoulders of a boy. Those who in 1912-i3 remember him as Duke of Connaught and Gov- crncr General of Canada. on his visit to our Province, in his portiy and handsome manhood. may guess that as a boy he would be most at- tractive. espeoiallyr to young ladies, although of slighter build than in later years. Because of space I must pass over- the oeicmonials, familiar to such events. The crowning feature of entertainments was in a. grand bail and banquet in the Colonial Building the evening* before the Prince's dcpartifre. It was preceed- ed by a Levee in Government House -where all who desired were pro- aentod to His Roni Highness. - Hisht air vis.-ant with melody, pro-I |ea.rth and the heavens to resound. i i s 1.-..“._ > off!

Those who suf- fer, and some do suffer intensely, from neurltis, seldom show ally evidence of their affliction. Neu- riiis is all inflammation which may be imlited to one nerve. or it my spread to several. ' Nerves are card-like in appear- ance, consisting of many nerve fib- res or strands bound together un- der a. covering or sheath. The in- fiamation may be confined to the sheath, or it may spread in to the nerve fibres. There are several kinds of ner- ves, the sensory nerves carry mes- sages from the outside and the re- sponse is carried back by the motor nerves. Touch a hot stove, and the sensory nerves of the skin,flash a message to the brain which im- mediately, through the motor ner- ves io the hand, withdraws _thc hand from the hot stove. It all happens so quickly that it seems hardly possible for messages to have time to pass back and forth, but so it is. A nerve may have both sen- sory and motor fibres; it is then known as a mixed nerve. It follows. from this explanation, that the symptoms of rleurltis will vary according to which kind of nerve is inflamed. The outstanding symptom is pain which may be either a. steady, dull ache or sharp stabs. The nerve itself is sensitive when pressed upon, and sometimes the skin over the nerve is red and swollen. If it is a motor nerve which is inflamed, then there is loss of func- tion, partial or complehr. in the part supplied by the nerve.
