tions Of his English ancestry:
Cooper, gallant and fertile
genius, did his country and our language
an inestimable service by adding
whole group of specifically American fig
ures to the deathless aristocracy of the
realms of romance. Then, in the genera
tion which has just passed away, we
have such men as Thoreau, racy of his
native soil; Longfellow, in his day and
way the chief interpreter of America
to England; Whittier. the poet of Quak-
er Pennsylvania, as Longfellow was the
poet of Puritan Massachusetts: Lowell.
courtly, cultured, cosmopolitan, and yet
the creator of Hosea Biglow; Holmes, as
American in his humor as Lamb was
English, who justly ranks with Lamb
and Goldsmith among the personally
best-beloved writer's of the English
tongue. Prescott, In the sphere of his
tory paralleled the achievement Of Coop
er in fiction by giving literary form 10

Motley was inspired too ardently, per-

writing the great epic OF religious and
political freedom in Europe. Finally. it
must not be forgotten that in Uncle
Toms Cabin a tragically American pro-
duction, Mrs. Beecher Stowe added to
the literature of the English language
the most potent, the most dynamic PAM
phlet ever hurled into the arena of ma

A REVOLUTIONARY MOTHER.
On Her Tombstone Is Carved q
Croyyning Tribute.
(From the New York SUI


On a moss-grown tombstone in Cape
Cod burying ground is an Inscription
which offers food for thought. One of
the mothers of the Revolution is buried
there, and though being occupied in max
ing history. not in living up to 1t, she
hadn't such a weight of responsibility as
burdens the shoulders of Revolutionary
daughters, she managed to keep busy.
Four sides of a marble shaft are covered
by recital of her good deeds and vir-
tues. One reads of her domestic virtues,
charity, religion. AS the epitaph goes on
1t seems almost too good to be true, but
it is the final climax. the crowning trib-
ute to well-spent life, that gives one a
clew to her success After all else has
been said comes the statement:
Her thirst for information led her into
the paths of literature and induced her
to peruse several of the works of the
best authors yearly
The book-ridden nineteenth century
woman reads the inscription with sigh
of envy. When record of several of
the works of the best authors yearly
gave one immortal fame one had time to
be good. The modern woman might have
four sides of her tombstone covered with
four-syllabled virtues if her literary la
bors were limited to several volumes
yearly. If this woman, who died in IT'S,
mad belonged to Browning and 1bSen
clubs. If she had been a shining light in
the reading circle and had kept up with
all the new books in order to shine
among the cultivated elect, if she had
waded through whole libraries in pursuit
of material for her papers at the socio-
logical and philosophical and political
clubs, and if she had read fifty monthly
magazines and as many newspapers In
order to be primed for her current events
class, would a truthful summary of her
virtues have given the stonecutter so
profitable a job?
| The modern woman might fill tombstone
space by lists of the books read yearly
but 1t would be more effective to leave
three sides of the stone blank. There was
more leisure in IT'S for doing good deeds
and preparing large families of sorrowing
children who would see that the stone
cutter did his duty.

announces that one Lieut.. Jules Ord who died

This story is pure fiction. after the death of
Mrs Fitzherbert. in 1887, there was an investiga-

Prince of Wales (afterwards George IY) by the
Duke of Wellington executor of George IV),
Lord Albermarle, and Lord Stourton and it was
then expressly announced that there had been
no issue OF their private marriage. A sealed
packet containing the evidence of this marriage
and other documents has been deposited at
Coutts Bank for more than sixty years. very
long time ago the Duke OF Wellington told a
friend of mine that George Nv begged him to
make il his business to see that he (the King)
was buried with a miniature which he had been in
the habit Of wearing. The duke fulfilled his COM
mission. After the Kings death he took pos
