4 Rnmrol Through the Head.

a rather remarkable prophecy was

late Tichborne claimant Early in the
seventeenth century LAZY Tchborne
begged Of her husband TO create a dole
for the poor, that be should SET aside
portion Of land. the product Of which
should bc given them. The lady at
the time Wa sick in bed. and not eX-
pcctod TO live long. Her husband, to
avoid the gift II possible told her he
would give an the ground she would
walk over. In spite of her enfeebled
condition and the immediate danger Of
death. she left her lied and actually
crawlcd over several acres Of good
ground. and was carried back 10 her
bed 10 die, That portion Of land is
called Crawls TO the present day.
Before her death she made this
prophecy that if the dole were neglect
ei the house would fa,l that the
family would become extinct from lack
O. male heirs. that a generation would
appear having seven sons and no
daughters. and the generation following
would have seven daughters and no
sons and in this way the line would
become extinct.

seven daughters and no sons.
The prophecy and its iuldllment are
too lengthy to follow out; but few
years ago the fortunes Of the house
depended on a single male heir. and
then the dole was re-ostablished. and
after this that puny little fellow seemed
to thrive. OF course il remains 10 be
