Traits Inherited by William Ill

The Last Of the Male Descendants Of the
House Of Orange-The Riotous Life Of
Citron," Prince Of Orange.
Special to THE SUNDAY CALL.

80 HAT terrible modern disease, mental
II paresis, found fresh victim In the
S1sS person of William III, King of the
Netherlands, but many who knew him well
wondered that this inevitable ending to
career of reckless dissipation had not set in
much earlier, for the King attained the age
of Is years.
That William III should have combined so
many peculiar traits. prompting every
species of vagary, is principally due to his
ancestry on the maternal side. His mother
was a daughter of the Emperor Paul of
Russia, one Of the most dissolute mon
archs in Europe. The Dutch Kings way
wardnesS antedates his accession to the
throne in 1919. for it is current talk among
the Dutch that when the Prime Minister,
after William lis death, went in search of
the new sovereign. then absent abroad, he
found him after much difficulty travelling
incognito with French singer among
the highlands of Scotland. His mar

His countenance is tranquil and exhibits but

of his hands and the various artistic sur
roundipgs tending to produce greater re-
lfgiols fervor. Tho right arm is bent at the
elbow and the thumb and forefnger meet,
while three fingers point upward. This is
symbolic of belief among the Japanese
concerning the creators of the world. Above
the head of the god is the sacred halo from
which irradiates golden rays of light. In the
paintings of the early masters the nimbus
or crown of glory frequently adorned the
heads of the Savior, the blessed virgins and
the canonized martyrs of the Christian
church. A survival of pagan idea, the nim-

these pirates was aroused by the finding of
curious idols jotted with jewels that were
discovered during the saclug and footing
of the Spanish seaport towns. Strange sto-
ries were told them of the treasures OF the
Aztecs in the wilds of Mexico and Central
America, and many attempts were made
to penetrate to the homes of these
little gods that had been carried
away by pillagng Spaniards. Henry
Morgan, the prince of the buccaneers,
headed a great expedition to capture the re-
ligious treasures Of the Aztecs, but the hard
ships and trials endured during the journey
frustrated his plans, and the project had to
be abandoned. Many gods and goddesses
of Aztec worship have since been rescued
from the ruthless hand of time, but the
treasures still remain hidden from mortal
eyes.

irregular intervals. Tack the strips to the
wall in the hallway or library OF your own

A Horrible Tragedy on Big Ba-
hala.
Editor Brookhayen Leader:

Editor Brookhaven Leader:
On the night of - ult., near the
residence Of Mr.. Columbus Pierce
there occurred one of the most blood
curdling scenes known in the annals
of Bahala history. Two young men
from the White Sand country were
travelling along the public road and
as they neared Mr.. P's residence, they
were violently attacked by madden
ed flock of Mrs. P's geese, and Il des-
perate struggle for life on the part of
the brave and heroic young men en-
sued. Very quick they were, to real
ize that they had no corn i'll their
pockets in form that would in any
way at all he palatable to a goose.
But not until these gallant young men
had emptied their pistols into the
ranks of their enraged foes, did they
put spurs to their affrighted stceds,
which shifted the breeze southwark,
and triumphantly bore away their
brave young masters from the field of
blood and of death. With hats in
hand and hair set to the breeze, while
their coat tails delightfully."- played
with the wind, these two sons of the
White Sand country sped their way
southwark, holly pursued by their
blood thirsty assailants. Nearing the
north end of Mr.. James BoOnc's lane,
the desperate fowls left off pursuing
the young men, and with Il shout of
triumph, returned to their grazing
ground Oh the banks of Big Bahala.
The dawn of the morning revealed
the fact that there lay on the fatal
spot, cold and stiff in death, one gray
goose, with mouth open, and head
turned in the direction in which her
enemies fled.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | ask, in defence
of these and other young men, is there
no protection for them? especially at
this season of the year, when there is
much picking and nibbling OH every
hand. You may argue that the
"cackling of goose saved Rome"
Very well. But is this Legitimate
reason why our young men should be
pecked and nibbled to death by every
thing in eoosedom On this question,
there should be speedy legislation, to
the effect that parties having control
of these daring fowls should either
feed or confine them. The .towls @ere
hungry.

PosToFFICE ROBBERY.
The Iron Safe Broken Open and Between
Four and Five Hundred Dollars
Abstracted.

The BrOokhaven postofiice was bur.
glarizcd last Sunday night and be-
tween four and five hundred dollars
stolen. Entrance was effected by
breaking through the panel of the
back door and then raising the
cross-bar fastening. The iron safe,
which was an old-fashioned one, was
broken open witha sledgc hammerand
cold chisels. The thieves had previous
" broken into PENIS blacksmith shop
aud supplied themselves with his tools
to accomplish their work. An axe
and hatchct were left OH the postoffice
floor, and several cold chisels, pair
of blacksmith's tODgs, and two small
hammers were found in the railroad
stock yard near the street crossing.
The booth of /. Isaacs on Railroad
Avenue, was also forced open, and
Mr.. Isaacs claims, about nine dollars
in cash and about thirty in goods alb
stracted.
The money lost 10y the pOstoffice
includes several registered packages,
the exact contents of which cannot be
learned. Mrs. Tyler, postmistress,
naO small amount Oh ner OWL money
in the safe, which was lost, rs well as
that part belonging to the government.
Two silver watches in the safe, the
stamps, and every thing about the
office except the cash, was left undis-
turbcd.
The thieves seemed to have gone in
at Schwall's side-gate and broken II
plank off of the cross fence, gaining
access to the back yard of the post
Office in that way. The tracks and
other signs evidenced the fact that
there must have been three or four
of them. The clumsy way i'll
which the burglary was executed is
satisfactory proof that they were not
professionals, and the hammering in
of the safe door, which necessitated a
good deal of loud pounding, shows
that they were bold rascals as well as
lacking in experiences. The general
belief is that they are men living
right here in the town and familiar
with all the surroundings, but be this
as it may. it is earnestly hoped they
will be ferreted out and punished as
they so richly deserve.
