Dorothy Drew and Rudyard Kipling

Another contribution to the list of
stories, many of them apocryphal, no
doubt, concerning Miss Dorothy
Drew The London Home tells that
Rudyard Kipling took a great fancy to
her and endeavored to make a good
impression upon her by telling tales
After some time, her mother, fearing
Mr.. Kipling might be tired, called her
and said, Now, Dorothy, I hope you
have been good and not wearying Mr..
Kipling" "Oh, no, mother, not bit
of it, replied the enfant terrible, ''but
you've no idea how Mr.. Kipling has
been wearying mel"

bers OF an expedition recently organ
lied in New York to search for the
wreck of the British war ship De
Braak. which went down century ago
near Cape Henlopen, and, according o
report, carried with her to the bottom
of the sea 100000 in gold. This is
not the first expedition that has sought
the long-lost treasure, but the capital
lists now interested in the search seem
to think that they have more definite
information as to where the ship went
down, and the trip begun Saturday is
simply one OF observation. They have,
however, ample capital, and are work

divulge the names of the parties inter-

Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette

Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette.
BUSH HILL STATION, Aug. 19 On
Thursday evening last, as was antici-
pated, very large and brilliant assem-
blage of ladies and gentlemen Of Fran
conia and vicinity gave their presence
to the birthday reception" at the
school building rendered to them by
Miss Fannie Weadon, popular teacher
at this point, and this was manifested
by the number in attendance exceeding
that of any previous occasion. The
affair was new and novel. Neatly
printed invitations had been sent out
numbering some 600, and each one was
requested to bring as mapy cents as
years they were old. The treat in store
was to follow. These little sacks were
collected at the door on the arrival of
each guest by ladies designated for that
purpose. Many who could not come
did not fail to respond, thus swelling
the aggregate to very handsome
amount. The following was received
by Miss Weadon from young lady in
Charlottesville, Va.
If only possessed the horn of plenty,
I'd make this one thousand instead of Just
twenty.
So I'll fill In with good wishes between the
two numbers
And wish you much freedom from all that
encumbers
And vexes your spirit in this preparation
To help get some books fol- the young
scions Of our nation"
Choice music on cabinet organ was
sweetly dispensed during the evening
by Miss Maggie Kerby, while chorus
of volunteer voices rendered such Sc
lections as" "Old Kentucky Home" ,""Old
Black Joe,n and "Speed Away" to the
great delight of all present. In the in-
terval there was busy interchange be.
tween friends, and the hum of conver-
sation was an animated scene. Differ
ent plays, innocent in their character,
were INDUCED in on the grounds illumi-
mated with Chinese lanterns. The hap
DIV company separated at late hour.
The proceeds from the sale of ice cream
and cake and other refreshments, as
also those from other sources, aggre-
gated the sum of SOS, and it was voted
by one and all a signal success. The
money in hand is to be applied to Sc.
lect library soon to be purchased-a
long felt need.
Rev. Everard Meade, an evangelist
of the Episcopal Church in Virginia,
conducted the service last Sun
day at 1880 p. NJ, at Olivet Church
