OF East Oakland, or rather OF 1.-The High
lands" is decided beauty of the brunette
type, with very thoughtful expression.
and in this respect strongly resembles
her popular father. who is the Rev. DIR. L.
S. Chapman, pastor of the Brooklyn Pres
byterian Church. The family were formerly
Of Ohio, where Miss Sylvia was born, and
where she received the most part OF her
finished education. The family are well
known ia this city, where the doctor was IN
the Central Presbyterian Tabernacle before
going TO Oakland.
While Miss Chapman possesses the musi-
cal education usually acquired by all young
ladies, her best efforts are given to elocutlon,
and in this she received her early training
from her father, who in his younger days
was a professor of the art.
The young lady has but recently returned
from years study at the Lyceum School
of Acting in New York City. During her
absence from this coast Miss Chapman gave
successful readings in Chicago and at the
Iowa State College. At the wedding OF her
sister, now Mrs. Frank j. Woodward, that
took place few weeks ago, she was the
maid of honor, and it was remarked at the
time never prettier girl filled similar
position. Miss Chapman anticipates an
early return 10 the East.

Scotland and the TIL iStle.

The thistle was selected as the national
emblem of Scotland in the year 1910. 1t
was during the reign of Malcolm that
notable invasion of the country was
made by the Danes. They came In
thousands, and landing on the coast
swarIned over the inhabited districts
like locusts, destroying, burning and
plundering wherever they went. For
safety the inhabitants fed to the castles
and fortified towns, and among the most
notable of the fortresses of Aberdeen
shire was Staine's castle, where were
collected large number of people of
the neighborhood. The Danes projected
a surprise. Approaching the castle in
the darkness they planned to scale its
walls, and laid aside their shoes that the
greater secrecy might be observed when
drawing near to the Notifications.
The surprise might have been success
full had it not been for the fact that, on
descending into the dry moat, they
found, to their great discontinue and
modification, it was filed with thistles,
by which their feet were so severely
pricked that several made an outcry,
which aroused the defenders of the castle
and brought them to the wall in time TO
repel the onset. Regarding their good
fortune in repelling the Danes as due to
the thistles, these plants were immedi-
ately placed in the arms of Scotland and
adopted as the emblem of the country
St. Louis Democrat.

A Celebrated Dog.

Wordsworth and Scott both celebrated
in their poems the famous old Gelert.
This dog, deerhound, was given by
King John to his son-in-law Llewellyn,
who kept him at his hunting lodge, in
the neighborhood of the Welsh noun
tain Snowdon. Gelert was missed one
morning from the hunt by his master.
Llewellyn, upon his return TO the lodge,
saw the dog. and discovered that its
mouth was besmeared with blood. Con-
Guiding that the dog had devoured his
child, the infuriated master slew the
poor animal. Upon investigation, he
discovered dead wolf by the child's
cradle, while the child was safely and
soundly sleeping. The brave dog had
saved Lleweuyn's heir from the wolf.
\ monument was erected 10 the faithful
creature, which bears the name OF Beth

Rowing Dogs Along the Nile.

In Egypt rowing dogs are less numer-

terrible to strangers. 1t has often hap

midnight, to be reminded when | met

Hearing of Horses.

1t is we'll known that horses can hear
deep sounds which we cannot. For days
previous to the earthquake in the Riv-
iera the horses there showed every symp-
tom of abject fear, which continued
without any change of character till the
fury of the CONFUSION broke forth. But
not till few seconds before the earth
began to quake did human beings hear
any sounds, while it is extremely proba-
BILE that the horses heard the subter1a-
mean noises for two or three days preyi-

The Great Bank of England Swindle-

-Four Americans, named George and
Austin Bidwell, George Mcdonald and
Edward Hills, contrived to defraud the
Bank of England of nearly 81 DOC, 900
They accomplished their swindle by tax
| ing advantage OF custom of the bank
which had grown up through the gen.
eral honesty of business men and meth
DDS IN England The bank was accus-
toned to receive bills of exchange IN
deposit on account, without verifying
their signatures or the acceptances
Probably until the Bidwells began to
experiment on them the bank authori-
ties never had had such paper offered
them otherwise than in good faith.
These men contrived by pretense and
falsehood to secure the necessary intro
ductiOn to the bank officers, and opened
an account with them under an assumed
name. They then had several hundred
bills of exchange printed on counterfeit
plates and flooded the Bank of England
with these bills from all over the world
all signed and accepted with apparent
regularity. The bank unhesitatingly
cashed these and put the proceeds to the
credit of the swindlers. who drew out
the money in ostensible business trans
actions in such way as to excite no
suspicion on the part of the bank Of
fcials.
At last the rascals betrayed themselves
by neglecting to date the acceptance Of
two of the fraudulent bills The bank
sending these to the acceptors to have
the omission supplied, discovered the
fraud at once. After an exciting chase
by detectives all the men were arrested,
then tried and convicted, and all sen
fenced to prison for life. In 1888 George
Bidwell was pardoned and allowed to
return to the United States. The others
are still in prison.-London Letter
