The route of the young pretender lay
pretty much beside the Dove, only it
was upon the high road on the Derby
shire side, says the Gentleman's Mag
azine. An old friend of ours. recently
deceased, was as lad acquainted with
an ancient goodman who had wit
messed this march through Peakland.
The inhabitants themselves were, as
recently as the beginning of the pres
ept century, pronounced "a horde of
savages," but like doesn't always take
to like, and the advent of the breek-
less warriors Of Charles Edward is said
to have worried them exceedingly.
This did not arise so much from per-
sonal fear as for the safety of their
goods and chattels. 1t was the conf
dent hope of the Fraklanders that the
rebels would continue their march
right onward to London, and there get
hanged or otherwise eXterminated.
thereby saving the necessity of re-
turn journey. Their very worst fears
were justified when the highlanders
we're back upon them in few days!
Here is one story of the march which

An old cottager espied n band OF
foragers in the distance. They were
making toward his homestead, and. of
course, he had shrewd guess what
their errand would be. Farm stock he
had none to reave. His wife was too
hard-fared to run any risk of being
kissed an carried AVA" But on the
wall of the houseplace there hung an

Guarded washington's TOMB

Edward Parker, the old cSlored
watchman who for an even half-cen-
tury had kept watch at the tomb of
Of his daughter, 145S @ street, north
west, after a lingering illness covering
period of six months, says the Wash
ington Post. Parker could probably
relate more of the early history of
Mount Vernon than any one living
person. His entire life was spent at
the former home of Washington. Born
a slave, he lived to see the freedom
of his race, but such changes had few
charms for him. He preferred to
spend his days as they had begun,
within the beautiful and historic in
closure of Mount Vernon.
Parker was born in Charlestown, w.
Va, and when an infant of six months
was left motherless, and about that
time was bought by John E. Washing
ton and taken to Mount Vernon. Here
for thirty-three years he lived, with
many others of his race, and at the
breaking out of the civil war he was
taken over to Ft. Washington, where he
served as COOK LOT the union SOluleTS.
After the war and when the Mount
Vernon property passed into the hands
of the association of patriotic Amer
lean women who now control the old
home, Parker signified his desire to
spend the remainder of his days on
THE grounds of his youth, He was
employed to watch the tomb of Wash
ington and to prevent depredations on
the trees and snrubbery.
Parker spent almost his entire time
at Mount Vernon, occasionally visiting
Alexandria and Washington. He had
n small watch-box, few feet from the
tomb, where he sat in bad weather, at
other times occupying a chair in front
of the tomb. To the thousands of Wis
itors who went to Mount Vernon each
year, Parker was an object of interest.
His blue uniform and the responsible
ties of his position gave him positive
ideas of an exalted duty. and almost
every day of his life he was the center
of throng of visitors, who listened
intently and interestedly to his rela-
ton of incidents of the early days OF
Mount Vernon.

he wished his father to believe so. And
in 1345, having served creditably and
become a lieutenant, he resigned his
commission. A painter he could not

AFRAID OF THE GLASS EYE.

owner OF
A year or two ago an artist from
San Francisco who wore a glass eye
came to Yokohama and established
himself in little bungalow on the out
skirts of the city, says the Yorkville
Yeoman. The weather was extremely
warm, and before the stranger had be-
come settled he was besieged by a
number of coolies who wanted to get
the job of tanning him at night The
artists looked over the applicants and
finally selected an old man who
brought excellent recommendations
from his last employer. When 1t was
time to retire the artist took out his
glass eye, laid 1t on the stand at his
bedside and went to bed. The old man
pic ed UP his fan and the San Fran
ci ,co man was soon asleep, He slept
peacefully for an hour or two. when
he was awakened by a chorus Of buzz
ing insects about his head. He looked
about him and found that the man
whom he had hired to fan him was
gone. The next morning when he went
in search OF another coolie he was
amazed to discover that no one would
work for him. He was looked upon as
a wizard and worker of miracles with
whom It was unsafe to be alone. The
old man had gone among his friends
and told how the Californian had taken
out his eye at night and laid 1t on a
stand In order that he might watch his
servant at night and see that he kept
his fan in motion. The Did coolies
story created such excitement that the
San Francisco man was never able to
get another japanese to fan him after
that.
