...Royal coachman, black gnat, grizzly king, professor! If Calvin Coolidge never again has sport he will at least remember the summer of 1928 as the time when he learned his fly-book by heart, casting on the brown Brule stream. As July petered out and the level of the waters dropped a little in the dry weather, the Brule's inhabitants grew hungrier and hungrier. There came an evening when the President canoed home to Cedar Island Lodge with no less than 26 trout. This was one more than Wisconsin's legal limit but Wisconsin took no action...
...good Queen Mother Emma was home in time for a placid celebration of her 70th birthday. Century-old trees, towering above the low, squat Summer Palace, seemed to rustle discreet congratulations to a Queen now almost as venerable and quite as upstanding as they. How much the royal trees have looked upon, and how much she. . . . Princess Emma. Sixty-two was the age of dissolute King Willem III of the Netherlands, justly famed as "The Dutch Don Juan," when in 1879 he married Princess Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont, who was then...

Oddly enough such displays of temper proved extremely popular among stolid Hollanders, who rejoiced that their Crown Princess seemed to possess all the characteristic dash and spirit of the Royal House of Orange.

Their Belgian Majesties of course avoided the terrors and obscenities of the Pigmy Forest, last week, merely sailing past its extremity in a prim Congo steamer. Near Stanleyville the "Seven Cataracts of the Congo" or "Stanley Falls" halted the royal steamer, and King & Queen were obliged to motor around the Cataracts. Before proceeding downstream to the Atlantic (1,500 miles) King Albert received the homage of several onetime cannibal tribes, two being notorious backsliders. A sprinkling of Pigmies had been drummed up and Their Majesties inspected with interest the cleanest, tamest...
...harbor of Santander. Spain, last week, sailed the little yacht Nina, first to cross the ocean in the race from Sandy Hook, and declared winner of the queen's cup for yachts of less than 55 feet waterline length. On hand to greet the victor were the royal yacht, numerous other pleasure craft, U. S. and Spanish warships, dense crowds on quays and piers...
