It was rot till scme days afterward,
when Lucy had been laid to rest III the

Lucy Lester was the daughter OF a
trades1nan we'll to Go and who made his
money honestly enough, but he was .
Puritan and OF the strictest sect Of the
Pharisees. His wife had died when
Lucy was still a child, and she was
brought up in IA atmosphere OF glocm
and dullness very unsuited to her char-
acter, which was as once frivolous and
egotistic. Her beauty, of which she was
only too conscious, was pronounced by
the formal society with whom she mixed
to be snare Gas, indeed, it proved to
be), and every amusement to which she
naturally inclined was sternly forbidden
her. Rebecca, who had been her nurse
and when she grew up became her maid,
sympathized with her young mistress,
to whom she was also genuinely ut
tached, and made common cause with
her against her prosecutors, as she called
them though they included her parent
himself. He was very thrifty and kept
Lucy short as to pin money, and Re

HISTORICAL

Franklin was the oldest member at the
time Of the signing Of the Declaration Of
Independence. being In his seventy-first
year.
There have never been more than three
contemporary European queens; in fact,
the number who have occupied the throne
in medieval and modern times is compar-
atively small. England heads the list
with five; Russia, carl boast OF: four, but
the total comes to considerably under
thirty altogether.
| Cape Ann (Mass.) was given by Prince
Charles, in f1lial respect to his mother,
Anne of Denmark. wife Of James I. This
name was adopted by Capt. John Smith,
who had however, noted the cape as
Tragabizanda, after princess, the hero
Inc oil one. Of his romantic adventures, to
| whom he had formerly been slave at
Constantinople.
| Berkeley proclaimed Charles II king
of England, Scotland, Ireland and Vir-
ginia; Charles was therefore made king
in Virginia, by the supreme authorities of
the colony, before he actually became so
in England. Already when they were in
formed that parliament was about to send
a fleet to reduce them to submission, the
Virginians sent, in small ship, messen-
ger to Charles, at, Breda, in. Flanders, to
invite him to come over and be king of
Virginia. He was Oh the point of sailing
when he was called to the throne of his
father. In gratitude to Virginia, he caused
the arms of that province to be quartered
with those of England, Scotland and ire
land as an Independent member of the
empire. From this circumstance Virginia
received the name Of the Old Dominion.
Coins with these quarterings were made
as late as 1913.
The downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte
was particularly brought to the attention
of the people of this country by the arrival
in 1912 of his brother Joseph, who had
been king of Spain, accompanied by his
nephew, Prince Murat. Joseph was de-
sirous of locating in the United States,
but was prevented from holding real es
tate, owing to the state alien laws. To
enable him, a an alien, to hold real estate,
it necessitated. a, special act, of the legis-
lature. Several of the states to- which
application was made declined, and after
Pennsylvania refusal a request was
made to the New Jersey legislature,
which granted the petition, extending the
privilege to Prince Murat, acting upon
which they each purchased land. al Bor-
dentown, Burlington county, Jerome buy

idence then in the country. 1t became the

ferent states, callers being courteously re-
ceived and royalty treated through his lib
