pension to Mrs, Mary S. Logan, widow of Gen.

Anna Wheeler was chosen a member of the
Haverhill Mass school board at a recent special

The offer of ex-Prince Alexander to endow the
Princess Victoria with all his worldly goods be-
comes amusing when it is learned that he has no
worldly goods, not even a half-crown of his own.
"What would you do in time of war if you had
