SEEING THE

Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the
Prince Consort once paid the British
Museum q visit. Viii they We're in
the department now presided over by Prof.
Owen, the attention of the royal pair was
directed to an ichthyosaurus, which it will
he remembered, was displayed Oh the wall.
just at that moment Mr.. Konig entered
the room, when Sir Henry presented him,
AS the then head of the department, to the
Queen and the Prince. The latter, whose
ear was struck by the German name, de-
sired to know from whence in Germany
he came, and asked "From what part?'
Konig, supposing the inquiry to refer, not
to himself but to the fossil, replied.
From the blue las at Lyme Regis, in
Dorsetshire, your Royal Highness." Sir
Henry said that the Queen was especially
diverted by the malapropos reply, and
aughed heartily. University Maga-

determined that the very wisest course for
him to pursue was TO try to realize that
there was never to be aught of happiness
for him in love again.
And then-and oh, how very low, sweet

confidence, and tell Doctor Ogden how
jealous he had been, thinking he preferred
Wilma West, fearing Wilma West pre-
terred DR.. Ogden, and telling him how
the one hope of his life was to win her for
his wife.
Then Wilma, with tears dropping of
her lashes, and her lovely face wearing
look of ecstasy and solemnity, slipped off
her chair and went down on her knees, to
thank God such hope of happiness lay be-

August stars, gathering courage from the
strong belief that hauteur could not exist
in the heart of any woman who could thus
lay aside the trammels of fashionable So
ciety and enjoy in her own way the quiet
delights of nature.
1t was as if heaven had come down to
that patient hearted woman that night,
when, after such hopeless waiting, joy
came to her again; and when with lovers
kisses and new pledged VOWS yet warm on
her lips, she sought Wilma, to tell her the
strange, sweet story, she found her not
less happy than herself, because Percy
March had asked her sweet solemn ques-
lion, and she had not said him nay.

GRAVE RoBBING.-Grave robbing seems to
travel Westward along with empire, civili-
cation and emigrants. Great Britain and
the Atlantic seaboard States long ago passed
through days (or nights of grave robbing,
which led to riots. Such times have passed
away in the East Now however, scarcely
a week goes by that news does not come
from the West of some fresh outrage of that
kind In Mondays Ledger there were
three items of news about grave robbing.
two telling of the discovery of bodies
dragged from their graves, and one of the
conviction of thief arrested in Cleveland,
Ohio, for a similar offense. In England
and in some of the Eastern States the best
way of putting an end to the robbery of
graves has been found to be the passage of
laws providing legal way in which col
leges and physicians can be supplied with
subjects for anatomical and surgical lee
lures, the same laws furnishing severely
those who obtain bodies Illegally or by rob-
bing graves Philadelphia Ledger.

AMONG the many absurd things which
have been admitted as testimony in the
Vanderbilt will case is the evidence of
medical expert, who claimed that the
Commodore's liver was altogether too
small. This was intended to be used to
the old millionaire's prejudice, as going
to show that the organ referred to had
been reduced by the excessive use of
tobacco, and that, being an inordinate
smoker, he was not competent to make a
will. Consumers of cigars and men with
little livers will give this matter serious
consideration.

The old Rom estead.

Down by the deep blue restless sea
An ancient homestead stood;
Long had it sheltered, glad and tree
The beautiful and good;
It's quaint cid gatee Of sombre gray
Soft MOSES cover quite,
It's trees, all touched with Times decay,
Don foliage green despite.
Delightful flowers Of every hue
In such profusion grow,
Mid tangled grasses does the blue
sweet violet's bosom glow.
Reckless Of system, round the well
Each tender fibre clings,
As we, mid life's bewailing spell,
Cling to familiar things.
The once proud bower, where choice vines
Drank deep OF early dew,
Now welcomes in the sun which shines
The broken lattice through;
Nor will sweet honey-suckles creep
Up to their wonted place,
Since she has laid her down to sleep
Who trained them with rare grace.
Those ancient trees, we'll tried and proof,
Whose branches interlock
30 lovingly above the roof,
Have braved the tempest shock.
HOW mute they stood, as If to scent
The sound of childish feet;
The music Of which, long since spent
Resounds on golden street.
Yon lonely sire within the porch,
White-haired and tremblingly,
Looks up beyond the little church,
Then of toward the sea;
"Oh, Godp' he cries, "bring back my boy,
Then my petitions cease;
For, ON this wave of rapturous Joy, n
would depart in peace"
On rusty hinge the gate now swings
loud shout fills the air;
"Fatherl" "My boyl" the homestead ringsi
For God has answered prayer;
Two forms sit In the twilight now,
Where one SO long has been;
And smiles light up an aged brow,
Calm, peaceful and serene.

as to encourage the hope that greater
caution will be used in the matter of
defective bridges and running two
trains in opposite directions on a single
line. If these heavy disbursements for
damages came out of the pockets of
managing directors instead of the stock
holders, more safety for passengers might
result therefrom.

DISASTERS never come slngly, it seems.
The American people now have two pis-
catorial wars on their hands at once, each
of which is grievous to be borne. Evarts
and Salisbury are at it over the herring
fisheries of Newfoundland, and the oys-
ter "shuckers'' of Baltimore are not at
their business in dressing the biyalves for
the loving American stomach. How far
this international controversy may effect
the matter of Goldfish balls and chowder
may be important to our fellow-citizens
of seaboard hamlets, like Boston and
Providence and New Haven and Brook
lyn but not so much so to the imperial
West. But the oyster imbroglio is a
thing of vastness to the empires that
flourish in the tributary waters of the
Mexican Gulf The little fish, or ami
NAL, or. what you will, that rears him
self in so obdur%e coat of mail has en-
twined his tentacles (if he has any
around the Western heart. There is a
reciprocity of affection between the BIZ
valve of the East and the appreciative
palate of the West, to interrupt which
no rude shuckers of Baltimore or else
where will be tolerated. An hundred
thousand men with keen oyster knives
will be marched across the Alleghenies
within ten days if these heartless shuck-
ers don't resume their calling.

AT AN early day in the history of the
State of Wisconsin facetious and prom
inent member of the bar of that State
now occupying position on the Bench
at the National Capital-recommended
that murder be made a mere matter of
book account. The suggestion has ceased
to be humorous, as was intended in the
first instance. 1t has practically been
adopted in all those wholesale murders
where corporations are the executive par
ties to the transaction. The Old Colony
Railroad Company, of Massachusetts,,
wherein by the recent accident near Bos-
ton some twenty persons were killed and
fifty odd badly damaged, find that, aside
from injury to rolling stock, the incident
stands on their ledger about 1926, 900
against the Company. The State assesses
the cost of killing outright at $1,000 per
head. The expense for breaking limbs,
&c, is open to assessment by jury, and
sometimes amounts to much more A
broken arm occasionally is more expen-
sive than the loss of wife
or husband or child The small
accident at Revere, Massachusetts,, six
years ago, cost the Eastern road over
100000. The settlement with the suf-
ferers was managed by the railroads
attorneys in bungling manner. The
loss to the Lake Shore Company, by the
Ashtabula horror of two years ago, was
only 100000 and is considered by rail
road experts as very cheap get-off for a
very monstrous crime. Still, this max
ing wholesale murder matter of book
account, is. SO expensive in the long run

THE Local PAPER. Thus aptly and
truthfully remarks the Exeter News Letter,
on a subject that does not receive the atten-
ton it deserves in this or any other commu-
nifty;
The local paper is an absolute necessity
to the county and community where it is
published. All the city papers cannot sup
ply the place OF the home paper. That
should be the first love Of every man and
woman, for with the paper is the locality
identified. The paper gives the county or
town where printed much OF their impor-
lance in the world, and gives in detail the
local news, which cannot be gained by any
other source Every weeks issue OF the
paper is so much local history, and the rise,
growth, and development OF the town and
county can be measured and recorded only
by the local newspaper that constantly is
gathering its items. People do not properly
appreciate their home newspaper. The
home paper at any price is the cheapest pa
per one can take.

Irs ALL TRUE-Out of the nine hundred
patent clothes wringers sold III this country
two years ago at Decentralization prices,
not over one-fourth of them are in use to-
day. 1t is astonishing how much money is
wasted on patented humbugs. Men buy
glass cutters, cement shaving soap, solder,
and everything in fact, that comes along,
talk about it and look at it for few days
and that's the end of it. Money thrown
away. 1t is food for tramps and roaming
