How Lord Byron Died.

Lord Byron was one of those hy-
peresthetic mortals who are always
doing, or at least contemplating, des-
perate things. He took it into his
head to become King of Greece, and
restore the little kingdom to its for
mer position in the world of art and
letters. He found that he could
not command an army large
enough to force himself on the
throne, so he resorted to strategy
and diplomacy. Although only
about 36 years old, he went to work
with a will, and, according to the
papers left by him, almost had the
crown in his grasp when he fell a
foolish victim to a couple of doctors.
He had been suffering some time,
from epileptic seizures and malaria.
Two young doctors of high standing
and accounted skillful, were called
to attend him. They found him
weak and aneamic, having eaten no
thing for five weeks but toast and
tea This was one of the extremes
he had been enjoying. At first he
refused to have anything to do with
the doctors, but after no end of per-
suasion on the part of his friends,
he yielded-forced himself to sub

Throwing out both arms toward
the doctors, he exclaimed 'There
you are, l see, a dLd set of butch
ers. Take away as much Blood as
you like have done with it" W.
From that time on he never object
ed to anything they did, his whole
nature being apparently under CON
troll of his will and unable to make
a show of rebellion except the expo
sure of his deformed feet. -e hss'
The doctors, Bruno and Milligan.
began operations on him April 16,
1924. The first thing was to take
from him twenty ounces Of blood
The next day the bleeding was re-
peated twice, and blisters placed
above his knees, instead of on the
soles of his feet, because he would
not allow his feet exposed. The
next day two other physicians came
and looked at him and reported to
the other. He then took two ano5
dyne draughts. This was on the
18th, and on lying down-for he
could still get out of bedAafter TAX
ing the last draught he said toahis
faithful servant Tita: "ITl 90 to
sleep now" He did, and slept near

tender to his mother-and Marian

sure could be happy here for a
year"
Consequently, the next day, when
the grand carriage from Glenburnie
ratified down the road, and Miss
Beatrix Brownie came to claim the
waif and stray, Melicent Harper was
more surprised than pleased.
"Havc come to the wrong
place?n said she. "Oh, they have
been so good to me! The wrong
Browns? No. that cannot possibly
be. They are right, right in every
thing. But | shall not go away
until Mrs. Brown is well enough to
be about the house"
And Melicent adhered resolutely
to this determination, in spite of
Trix's frowns and Herschel Hubert's
Establishments. She remained near
ly all summer at the cottage, and
spent only one little week at Glen
burnie.
"But one can accomplish good
deal in week." said Mrs. Bethune
Browne, hopefully. "And, of course
Glenburnie must be like Paradise to
her, after those horrid little cramped-
up rooms and everlasting pine for
est"
Herschel Hubert made himself as
agreeable as he possibly could to the
New York visitor, and on the night
before her return to New York he
laid his hand and heart at her feet.
"Oh, l am so sorry?" said Nell
cent, "But I am engaged already"
"To Harry Brown? ?" said Hershel
Hubert, grinding his teeth.
"Yes," said Melicent, "to Harry.
| was going to tell Beatrix
about it tonight. l am so vexed
that you should have committed
yourself in this sort of way. But
please let's forget all about it.
Mr.. Herschel Hubert Browne NUT
tered some sort of lame congratu-
lation, and withdrew from the scene
as hastily as possible.
"It's all a comedy of errors, it
seems" he said, almost savagely, to
his mother. "Here is our season
wasted, our purse empty, our trades
men elamorous; and Harry Brown,
down at the cottage, has gained the
prize?"
And all that Mrs. Bethune
Brownie could say was:
"It's very strangel Very strange,

DO you suppose she will come
to-day ?" asked BeatriX Browne,
"Ofcourse she will come" " said Mr..
Herschel Hubert Browne. Why
shouldn't she?"
"Oh, how can ! tell?" cried impa-
tient Beatrix, "The train must have
been in long ago. And oh, me!
here is the barouche coming back

his little finger and Il conventional
smirk on his countenance. Miss
Bratrix, his sister, was an artificial
damsel, costumed after the latest
Paris plate; and their mother, Mrs.
Bcthunc Browne, was stylish
widow, who kept up II great deal of
appearance ON very little solid foun-
dation.
IF Hcrschel and TriX can only
contrive to make good matches we
shall ride triumphantly over all
these difficulties, said she, compla-

Spanish fan. So she had rented
"Glenburnie, . a pretty summer resi-
dence, engaged a tirst-class French
cook, given a most liberal order to
the milliner and dressmaker, and
issued invitations to a number of
friends to pass the summer with her,
"The only mistake made" said
Mrs. Browne, "was in coming to a
place where my girlhood was spent.
1t isn't pleasant to have stout old
farmers stopping one to ask if sue
ceeded in that school-teaching ven
ture, or that speculation in taking
boarders, or to be told by red-faced
old women that i hold my years
wonderfully we'll"
But Mrs. Bethune Browne and
her son and daughter were doomed
to loneliness that afternoon. Miss
Harper, the New York heiress, had
not come, as she WAS expected, by
the afternoon train; and as the
Bethune Brownies were not people
who ever took any especial pains to
entertain each other the evening did
not pass away in unmitigated bliss
Miss Harper, however, had come.
The only mistakeshe had committed
was in leaving the train at Pine
Bluff station instead of Pine Hill
station. But how was she, born
New Yorker, whose antecedents were
only of Fifth avenue and Twenty
third street, to discriminate between
these puzzling similarities? p
She looked around at the pine
thickets; she listened with Il vague
misgiying to the rush of the pebbly
brook in the copse; she glanced APP,
pealingly at the ticket agent, who
was rolling some barrels of lime
along the platform, toward the
freight-room.
"Is there no one here to meet me?'
she asked, 81 am Miss Harper

The ticket agent looked up at the
sky, down at the daises, and then a

The Local Newspaper.


The New Year is good time to
consider the generally overlooked
claims of the local newspaper. 1t is
the most useful and the least com
pensated and appreciated of all the
agencies which stamp the impress
of progress upon villages and inland
cities. Without the local newspaper,
local towns, as rule, are thriftless
and tend to decay. 1t is common
for small men to speak with con-
tempt of the local newspaper. In
that they initiate greater men in
speaking ofjournals which offend by
manly criticism; but the village
newspaper makes more great men
out of less material-more bricks
out of straw-than any other factor
in politics, and it is the one ladder
on which men climb to local dis
tinction as the beginning of wider
fame. Local weeklies have now ex-
tended from the country towns into
most of the thrifty villages, and the
advent of the local newspaper has
always dated the increased thrift of
the community. The local news
paper is the life of its locality, and
u Al
the measure of its support, as a rule,
measures the advancement of the
people. Begin the New Year by
not only subscribing, but paying for
your local newspapers. They are
they friends and helpmates of all
seasons.-Phila. Times.
How a MOUSE BROKE UP A HAPPY
FAMILY.-A lady in Coseytown dis
covered a mouse in the family -four
barrel. She summoned her husband
and told him to get the gun, call the
dog and station himself near the
scene of onslaught, Getting up on
a high chair she commenced punch
ing the flour barrel with a pole.
The poor mouse soon made its ap-
pearance and started across the floor,
the dog Immediately in pursuit. In
the excitement the man fired the
gun, killing the dog, and the lady
tainted and fell off the chair. The
man thinking that she was dead and
fearing arrest for murder, cleared
out and and has not been heard of
since. The mouse escaped.

Rendering Cheese Digestible

A writing signing himself Sea
Cook" refers in the Nautical Mag
azine London) to- lecture by Pro
fe sor Williams before the Society
or Arts, on the comparative nutri-
ment Of different foods, and he fol
lows with a receipt Of his W for
restoring a chemical quality IN
cheese Of which it is deprived in
the ordinary mode of manufacture.
Any one, says the writer, who is
able to find a substitute for salt
Junk is n benefactor to u seamcn.
and it would appear that such 4
benefactor has arisen in the person
of Mr.. w. Mattieu Williams, f. G..
S. The substitute in cheese. Not
cheese eaten az it is purchased, but
cheese to which has been restored
the proper amount of the salts Of
potass necessary to canvert it into
nutrltiors and digestible food. 1t
is well known that the chief reason
why salt meat ia umwholesomt and
not nutritious ls that the salts of
potass has been driven out If it in
the picking. 1t is now known
that one reason why cheese is indi-
indigestible is because the salts of
potass original Y in milk are absent
from cheese.
AS regards the relative nutriment
in meat and cheese, the Professor
tells us that
Taking the composition of a
whole skinned a; d prepared sheep
or OK as 1t hangs in a butchers
shop, the amount of nutriment in it
j. about equal to one-third of its
weight in cheese. The fat is about
the same IN both. but the differ
ence is due to the bones and excess
OF water. Thus 20 pounds Of cheese
contains as much nutritious mate
rial rs Il sheep OF GO pounds
weight, and would have the same
value as practical nutrlment of it
could be as easily digested.
Cheese is the mort portable of all
food, even more go than wheat. OH
account of the greater value in a
given bulk"
Mr. Williams goes or to tell us
that the common English or Amer
lean cheese is the best for purposes
of food Here, then, we have in
orr midst the most valuable food
to be obtained, and it is not used
simply for the reason that owing tc
absence of salts of potass it is indi
gestible. Make it digestibls by
restoring the pOtass, and we have
food Tor our toiling millions on
shore, and for those at sea a food
which will 60 far to not only nour
ish the consumer, but to make him
proof against scurvy as well.
