KING EDWARD VII.
Even those in what we usually hold the lowest stratum of employment—the last resource of the destitute—the "sandwichmen" of the metropolis,—had a place in his kindly heart: and, not content with regularly sending a handsome donation to their yearly dinner, he always took care to be personally represented there, and to read, with genuine interest, a subsequent account of the proceedings.
Nor did he stint his praise of those—whether corporate or individual—who worked for the people's good. Even the much abused L.C.C. came in for his warm encomium.
