THE IRON DUKE.
Wellington apd His Ways as Seen by Two
English Artists.

Wellington ana HIS ways as seen Dy Two
English Artists.
When engaged on the two pictures,
"The Queen Receiving the Sacrament
and "Thc Christening of the Princess
Royal, much of my fathers time and
money We're spent i'll taking them from
one nobleman's s house to another to OBJ
tain sittings but often to find, after
making an appointment with a duke or
a lord, first that he was engaged, and
after waiting for hours that he regretted
not then being able to see Mr.. Leslie,
but would be at his service ON the fol-
lowing day. The Iron Duke was an ex-
ception, and the day after he received
note from my father saw white hair
ed elderly gentleman walk up the short
gravel path and steep steps of our little
villa, and shading his eyes from the
sun take rapid survey of the front gar
den as he stood on the steps, and how,
when small maidservant answered his
knock and question, ''Is this Mr.. Les
lic?' with Yes, sir. What name,
please?' his reply in very clear, loud
voice. 'The Dock of Wellington, near
" made the girl drop where she stood,
and not only brought my father, palette
and brushes in hand, to her rescue. but
mary heads out of the upper windows
of the adjoining villa.
Then, before going indoors, he in
formed my father and all the neighbors
in the same loud tone that the distance
between Apsley House and ours was
Give miles" repeating it more than
once, and when my father ventured to
say, II think not quite so much, your
grace" he closed the argument thus
ooh, yes, it must be. I'm good judge
of distance and consider it certainly
over five miles, The duke had come
ON horseback, and was much pleased
when told that my father would wait
upon him for sitting at Apsley House,
but on doing so he was received by the
duke with, "Well, Mr.. Leslie, didn't
you find 1t long way-over five miles,
I am sure?'
A few days later my father CHANGED
to mention this to Sir Edwin Landseer,
who knew more of the duke than he
did. Sir Edwin said: ''It is no use to
differ with the duke. I once did about
some engravings of my own pictures with
which he was having a room papered,
and ventured to suggest that, as many
of them were valuable proofs, they
might be attached to the wall only by
paste round the edges, so that at any
future time they could be removed
without injury. But he cut me short at
once with: No, 10, that would not do
at all. What do is this: 1 get man
with pot Of strong paste and big
brush, and he pastes them all over the
backs and up they go at once, with no
more bother about them. Temple

king, took possession of everything, es-
pecially the treasure, before his father
was fully deceased, and by fair promises
solidified the left wing of the royal
party, compelling the disaffected Nor
man barons to fly to France
William II and Robert, his brother,
came to blows over small rebellion
organized by the latter, but Robert
yielded at last and joined William
with view to making it hot for Hen
ry, who, being younger brother, OBJ
jected to wearing the kings cast off
reigning clothes. He was at last forced
to submit, however, and the three
brothers gayly attacked Malcolm, the
Scotch malcontent, who was compelled
to yield, and thus Cumberland became
English ground. This was in 1901.
In 1896 the crusade was creating
much talk, and Robert, who had ex-
pressed a desire to lead a totally differ
ent life, determined to go if money
could be raised. Therefore William
proceeded to levy ON everything that
could be realized upon, such as gold and
silver communion services and other
ric-a-brac, and free coinage was then
first inaugurated. The king became so
greedy that ON the death Of the arch
bishop of Canterbury he made himself
ex officio archbishop, so that he might
handle the offerings and coin the plate.
When William was i'll, he sent for Fa-
ther Anselm, but when he got well he

farm had stone Jail on it, in charge
of noble jailer. Feudal castles full Of
malaria and surrounded by insanitary
moats and poor plumbing echoed the
cry Of the captive and the bacchanaltan
song Of the noble. The country was
made desolate by duly authorized rob-
bers who, under the crusaders stand
ard, prevented the maturity of the
spring chicken and hushed the still,
small voice of the roast pig in death.
William the Conqueror was not only
remembered bitterly in the broken hearts
Of his people, but in history his name
will stand out forever because Of his
strange and grotesque designs on pos
terity.
In 1141 Stephen was made prisoner,
and for five years he was not restored to
his kingdom. In the meantime Matilda,
the widow of Henry I, encouraged by
the prelates, landed in England to lay
claim to the throne and after great
deal of ill feeling and much needed as
sassination her son Henry, who had be-
come quite a large property owner in
France, invaded England and finally
succeeded i'll obtaining recognition as
the rightful successor to Stephen. Ste
phen died i'll 1853, and Henry became
king.
The feudal system, which obtained in
England for 400 years, was good one
for military purposes, for the king on
short notice might raise an army by
calling on the barons, who levied on
their vassals and they in turn levied on
their dependents
A feudal castle was generally built in
the Norman style of architecture. 1t
had a "donjon, 2" or keep, which was
generally occupied by the baron as a
barroom, feed trough and cooler between
fights. 1t was built of stone and was
lighted by means of crevices through
the wall by day and by means of a
saucer of tallow and string or rush
which burned during the night and
served mainly to show how dark it was.
FAere was front yard or fighting place
around this surrounded by high wall,
and this again by moat. Threre was
an inner court back of the castle into
which the baron could go for thinking.
A chapel was connected with the insti-
tuition, and this was the place to which
he retired for the purpose of putting
arnica on his conscience.
Underneath the castle was large
dungeon where people who differed with
the baron had studio. Sometimes they
did not get out at all, but died there in
their sins while the baron had all the
light of gospel and chapel privileges up
stairs.

the most numerous class in England

Mrs. Peary, wife of the famous arctic

determined that her husband shall never

When asked what experience stands out
most prominently in connection with
the unusual life while exploring, Mrs.

the only occasion in my life when was
so frightened that I would have well
coined death as a relief. We were out in
a boat with DR.. Cook, Mat, and some
natives. Mr.. Peary had broken his leg,
but was steering the boat, his leg, in
splints, stretched out before him. We
saw the walrus coming toward us, and
when the natives said, Shoot at them,'
we took our rifles and did so.
"Then followed scene too terrible
for words. The bullets had only entered
the hides Of these animals, enough to
infuriate them, and they came forward
enraged and with but one determination
TO turn over the boat. They placed
their long tusks on the gunwale and at

LONGING.

The hills slope down to the valley, the streams
run down to the sea,
And my heart, my heart, oh, far ono, sets and
strains toward thee.
But only the feet of the mountain are felt by
the rim Of the plain,
And the source and soul of the hurrying
stream reach not the calling main.
The dawn is sick for the daylight, the morning
yearns for the noon,
And the twilight sighs for the evening star and
the rising of the moon,
But the dawn and the daylight never were
seen in the selfsame skies,
And the cleaning dies of it's own desire when
the moon and the stars arise.
The springtime calls to the summer, "Oh,
mingle your life with mine,'
And summer to autumn 'plaineth low, "Must
the harvest be onlythine2'
But the nightingale goes when the swallow
comes, ere the leaf is the blossom fled,
And when autumn sits on her golden sheave
then tho reign of the rose is dead.
And hunger and thirst and wall and want,
are lost in the empty air,
And the heavenly spirit vainly pines for the
touch Of the earthly fair,
And the hills slope down to the valley, the
streams run down to the sea,
And my heart, my heart, oh, far one, sets and
strains toward thee.

Key West Fla, Aug. 24.-The following
AFFIDAVIT. which will be transmitted to
Secretary Of State olney. has been mads
concerning the recent murder by the
spaniards Of Charles GOWN an American
citizen:
Before me, George w. Allen. a notary
public. in Monroe county. state OF
Florida on this 2lst day OF August A. ID.
1896, personally appeared Arthur Alvarez
Valdez. to me personally known who,
being duly sworn, deposes and says:
MY name is Arthur Alvarez y Valdez.
I am q years Of age native of Havana,
Cuba, and a resident OF the city Of Key
West, state Of Florida. / am now resid-
ing AT No 965 Division street, city OF Key
West. In company with several other
Cubans and Americans / arrived in Cuba
on the 9th day of July, 1896, and joined
the forces Of the Cubans of Gen. Aguirre.
Mr.. Charles Gown was one of our party,
acting as correspondent of Equator-Dem-
Ocrat, a newspaper Of Key West. In a
battle which we had near Jaruco with
the Spanish forces under Gen. Ochoa. on
the Sth of July. 1896, several soldiers OF
Aguirres forces, under Commander Va
lencia, were dispersed, and we (meaning
the Cubans and Americans who landed on
the 9Th of July, as aforesad) not know
Ing well the place where we were, all got
lost, each taking a different direction.
Il remained In the neighborhood until
the next day, being July 9, 1896, and very
near me were hidden two of my compan-
ions, one being Mr.. Charles Gown, whom
1 knew personally, and knew to be tho
correspondent OF the Key West paper.
About the time l had made up my mind
to join them in their hiding place,
heard and saw some forces that were COM
ing towards me, and as they got very near
US / saw Charles Gown and his compan-
ion with a smiling face leave their hiding
place. and go to the forces, / believe Mr.
Gown took the Spanish forces to be Gu
bans.
''I'he troop bound Gown and his COM
panlon with ropes, and after some loud
talking which could not very well UNDER
stand. they took Mr.. Gown and his COM
panion aside and two of the Spanish SOL
diers commenced 10 hack them over the
head with machette, while two others
fired their guns at them. l am not posi-
tive II the shots wounded them or not
/ saw that he, Mr.. Charles Gown, and his
companion were killed.
This took place July g. 1896. The SOL
diers, after killing them, dug a grave and
buried the two men in one grave. Ny
place Of hiding was near enough to wit
ness the awful deed. ! remained in my
place Of hiding until after the Spanish
forces left the place. The Spanish troops
also robbed the two men Of all OF their
other valuables before burying them.
Il noticed that the troops were COM
manded by the same Gen. Ochoa which
had given US battle the day before. Mr.
Gown and his friend were ordered 10 be
hacked by the said Gen. Ochoa himself
he also taking the jewelry and other val-
uables."
