Among other statements which he made while visiting America the Prince of Wales is reported to have said that he had no use for literature, or, at least never read to any great extent. Situated as he is he has always had the opportunity to live, rather than read of life. He has himself been the hero of many a wild adventure, of many a budding romance.
Now, however, news arrives which indicates that his statement was only a pose after all: He is truly interested in literature not merely as a reader but also as its maker. He joined the Pressman's Union when he visited New York, and yesterday he sent a check to pay his dues.
His interest must still lie with the power of the press. In choosing his trade H. R. H. might have become a bricklayer. Certainly the emolument of that profession is higher. But the Prince remained true to literature; and any future protestations of literary indifference may well be taken with a grain of salt.
