Agoodly outside charms the sight:
But tell me. il you can,
What Is II that at once proclaius
The little gentleman,
1t surely cannot be the dress
Nor is it wit or birth:
These never represented yet
The souls uEdying worth
Nor Is 1t fair or courtly speech:
Not since the world began
Has this announced to anyone

These are as natural TO some
As singing Is to birds
But there Is something greater far
In Gods eternal plan,
By which the heart may always know

Respect and reverence for age:
A truthful loyalty

No matter what may be:
The hearts ideal fixed on high,
Beyond all earthly ban:
The courage to do right-these make

THE LATE DUKE OF SOMERSET

An Unparalleled Incident in the History of
the British Peerase.
The death of the thirteenth duke of
Somerset recalls to public memory an
unparalleled incident in the history of
the peerage. Sir Edward Seymour,
who was afterward lord protector of
England. and subsequently attained
and beheaded. was created duke of
Somerset in 1917 with remainder to his
issue male by his second wife, which,
failing. to his issue male by his first
wife In 1850. on the death of the sew
enth duke of Somerset, the issue male
of the first duke of Somerset by his
second wife became extinct in him. and
the title, after a lapse of two hundred
and fourteen years, became the inher-
itance of the elder line, which had been
so unprecedentedly excluded in the
original creation.
Sir Edward Seymour. the great par
liamentary leader at the period of the
revolution of 1858, who at one time was
speaker of the house of commons. was
the head of the elder line of the Sey-
mour family. Lord Macaulay relates
that Seymour, at the first audience
with William I'LL, is said to have ex-
hibited his characteristic pride in
way which surprised and amused the
king. II think. Sir Edward" said
William, meaning to be very civil,
''that YOU are of thefamily of the duke
of Somerset" pardon me, SIR" said
Sir Edward. who never forgot that he
was the head of the elder branch of
the Seymours, ''the duke of Somerset
is of my family"
The late duke took great interest in
the management of the estate. and the
property has been considerably inn
proved since he succeeded to the title.
One lasting monument to his thought
fulness and kindness of heart exists in
handsome stone drinking fountain
and cattle trough, erected by him near
the entrance to the village of Maiden
Bradley. and which bears the follow
ing inscription:
ERECTED BY ALGERNoN. FOURTEENTH DUKE OF
SOMERSET, AMMO DoMINI 1891.
Drink, travellers drink, of Bradleys purest

Which, strange to say, runs quite mile up

Then to your painting steeds let all attend:

The verse above quoted was COM
posed by the late duke himself, and the
last line, remembering his own pas
sionate love for horses, has a special
appropriateness and dinterest--Chicago

''And suppose the magazine should

Calicot was listening eagerly, but he
did not clearly understand, so the old
man glibly explained.
''If by any accident" he said, ''the
powder is exploded there the magazine
will simply go off like an enormous
stone cannon, whose mouth points to

see that the sudden conclusion and
compression of the air in the confined

This information, disappointing as
it was, produced marked change in
Calicot. His nervous anxiety gave
place to a grim look of concentration
and he grew visibly paler every day.
The intelligence that he received in
three days, through Miss Endicott,
amazed and excited him in spite of his
self-control. He learned that Hen
bricks had captured the gunboat. He
had to get at the facts of the case from
separate information and from Hen
bricks orders, but he learned enough
to convince him that the commander
in the boat had been led into negH-
gence by not finding human soul in
the vicinity, and a force of his men
had been surrounded and captured in
the wood, and party sent to their re-

A naturalist, after summer spent
in studying squirrels, said: at was
found that about so per cent of the
contents of the stomach of the striped
squirrel consisted Of injurious insects,
and among the rest were cut worms,
and web worms, and wire worms and
grasshoppers; as high as so cut worms
and web worms were found in a
single squirrel. From the st omach ex-
amined, it was estimated that on an
average a squirrel would eat $500 of
these cut worms and Web worms
from the first of April 81 August,
aside from other noxious insects. The
striped squirrels should be especially
protected on meadow and pasture
land and if some way can be found to
preve Mt their taking corn, they will
be found very useful in the cornfield
in destroying the cut worms. | have
very often noticed that the squirrels
do not dig deep enough about the hills
of corn to reach the kernels, in which
cases it is probable that cut worms or
web worms were the coveted morsels,
and not the corn.

That the great and steadily In

many cases with accompaniments of

we therefore earnestly, plead with the
churches and all lovers of order and

United States to raise such protest

outrages impossible, and secure fol
every one accused of crime proper
