The Brains of james III.

have unexpectedly had the oppor-
tunity of seeing the leaden case contain
ing the brains OF James II. An inquiry
having been made as to the fate of the
Jacobite remains at the old Scotch col
lege, near the Pantheon, addressed
myself to Mgr Rogerson, the admins
traitor of the South Catholic endow =
ments, appointed by the French govern.
ment, who was not only able and willing
t. give me every information on the sub
ject, but showed me the leaden case con-
tanning the brains, in size and shape re-
semblipg a liqnor bottle without the
neck. James bequeathed his blains to the
Scotch college, q seminary in which he
took great interest; but since the revolu-
ton the building has been used es a
French boarding school, though still the
property of the South Catholics, and as
"hlstoric monument" under the su.
pervision of the minister of education.
Both the college, however, and the ad-
joining English nunnery were plundered
by the revolutionists. A doubt, there
fore, remained as to the fate of the be-
quest, Which some guide books, indeed,
speak of as "said to have been deposited
there" One theory, moreover, was that
the brains were placed at St. Germans
in 1924. when all tina. could be collected
of st. James remains after the desecra.
ton of his tomb at the English Bene
dictine Monastery were interred-a tab
let being placed over them by George
Nv. All doubt, however, is now at an
end. Some workmen were carrying a
drain under the college chapel, when q
giving away of the soil led to the discov.
cry of cavity, and in this was found
the leaden case, and also the heart of the
Duchess of Perth, likewise inclosed in
lead. The tradition is that the mob dug
a pit, with the intention Of massacreing
the English nuns, and throwing the bod
les into it. Mgr. Rogerson believes that
this was the origin of the cavity and that
the two relics were thrown into it as
worthless. They will. of course, be re-
inferred, but in a quiet way, to avoid
any fear of clandestine interference.
Mgr. Rogerson also possesses glove
box, made from fragment of James
coffin, carried off by spectator of the
dissertation of the monastery. The col.
lege, I may add, looks throughout as if
unaltered since its erection, abaut two
hundred and fifty years ago, the original
inscription, college Ecossois," being
still over the door, and the tablets
erected to James and some of his adher-
ents being in good preservation. 1t was
in these premises that Danton was con-
fined during the brief interval between

Sallie Cra'g's Two Lovers.

About year ago young woman
named Sallie Craig, living between Love-
land and Honey creek, was the sweet
heart and promised bride of William
Moss, a young farmer who resided in
Loveland. In few mouths it was agreed
that they should be married. Before the
wedding day arrived, however, trouble
arose between the lovers over the some
what too-attentive John Points, also a
young farmer who resided near Honey
creek. Moss and the girl quarreled and
separated, and she was thereafter for a
time the beau of his rival. Subsequent
ly the girl and the first lover met again
and partially made up their differences.
This enraged Points, WIS had come to
regard her as his own, and he sought to
pick aarrel with Moss and in some way
get an excuse for putting his hated rival
out of the way. The men met on two
occasions during the past three months
and each time had quarrel and would
have fought, but were prevented from
doing much damage by the circumstances
and the parties who separated them. At
a dance about ten days ago the rivals
again met and came to blows. They
were again separated and the girl was
appealed to, to determine the question
by choosing the one she likei best. She
was was unwilling to do so, but said she
would go with the one who proved him
felt the best man. 1t was accordingly
agreed that time and place should be
fixed and there they should fight it out,
and the man who was whipped should
forever relinquish all claims to the hand
OF the cause Of the trouble. The dispute
by this time had been so widely talked
of by the people that q natural jealousy
caused the citizens to take sides. The
place of the fight was agreed upon as
half way between their respective resi-
dences and the time was Thursday after.

Moss, and Points brother acted a. his
second. The fight was to be conducted
in the most approved rough-and-tumble
style. When Thursday afternoon ar.
rived, about sixty people we're on the
ground, among whom was the girl over
whom the contest was caused, to witness
the brutal affair. The men commenced
fighting fiercely. They used fists, heels
and teeth. and in clinching and tumbling
about rolled over large area of ground.
The fight lasted fifty-fve minutes, and
throughout was one OF the most brutal
character. It WAS brought to fatal con-
clusion by Points strength entirely Civ.
ing way, and then Moss, with the last ef-
forts OF his madness. jumped upon his
PROSTATE foe and crushed in his breast
and kicked in his head. The spectators,
at this overpowered the seconds and
