statesmen who told him that with =
Democratic President be would not be
disturbed 1T all and that the market
would greatly improve.

Windsor Castle stands on the site OF
the original building made OF wood aud
erected by Edward the Coufessor. It
was, however. built by contract and was
very faulty ia construction. 1t was
succeeded by stone structure erected
by William the ConQueror, who had q

Of England TO successfully manage I

ed. 1t is said that some people are able
here TO obtain an audience with the
queen who could not get an audience
anywhere else. A theatrical friend OF
mine yesterday told me that his only

walls there is a fine closing out sale OF
