This curt command, delivered in his

formidable one to set to a young
woman, but it is a feat easily accom-
plished in some parts Of America. A
rail fence lends itself readily to demo-

right, one to the left and one to the
right again, until an open gap took
the place of that part of the fence. The

himself, remembering that this was his

Five years ago, says Vancouver dis
patch to the New York Herald, a man
named Freshman wrote a book arguing
that William Cresswell. confined In the
Paramstta asylum, Australia, was the
heir 70 the Tichborne estates.
For five years Priestman has been
struggling for what he asserts TO be
justice for Cresswell, and he is today
receiving strong support for his claim,
owing 20 the investigation OF Cressweil's
case by parliamentary committee.
Freshman made a chance visit to the
asylum and claimed that he had found
Roger Tchborne. who was none other
than Cresswell incaroerated as lun-
attic. Much sensation was caused. but
experts who examined Cresswell denied
that this man was Tlchborne. the marks

the boy died. A very pretty story
Is told OF how the senator came TO

outcome of a dream which he had dur

Rome. The senator was worn out with
watching over his sick boy and he fell
asleep and dreamed. In his dream he
seemed 10 be mourning with his son
over his coming death and said TO him.
MY boy. II you die / shall die. too. I
will have nothing TO live for when you
are gone" Hereupon In his dream he
heard the boy say: Father, don't say
you have nothing TO live for. You have

impression upon the senator that II is
said he awoke Mrs. Stanford and told
her Of IL. The two then rose and went
into their sons room only 10 find that
he had passed away. This dream caused
Senator Stanford 10 take up scheme
which his son had wanted to carry out,
and this was the education Of poor boys.
From its consideration the Leland

STORIES OF SENATOR HEARST.
/ doubt whether Senator Hearst had
any idea that any part OF his millions
would go into educational projects. He
was not college bred man. and when
in the United States Senate was sup
posed to be rather illiterate than other
wise. He made no speeches and was
not heavyweight in the committee
rooms. Stin, the other senators re-
spected him for his practical common
sense, and were chary OF foollng with
him. Stories were circulated to the effect
that he knew more than he pretended,
as. for instance, the old anecdote told
by Senator Frye as to how Senator
Hearst spelled the word bird"
According to Frye, the incident &C.

was the bill Of fare, and 10 II, among
other items, rosie birdie, ST." As the
future senator saw this he exclaimed:
See here, Blank. that IN a devil of a
way TO spell bird. Don't you know
any better than that? You ought TO
spell II 'b-u-r-d.'"
1T is, is it?" said the barkeeper, II

crowd that you can't spell bird right.

"All right" said the saloon man: but
I am not going 20 have any mistake
about II. You have got TO write II down

upon handed Hearst slip OF brown
paper and q pencil.
Hearst took It. and rapidly wrote
"Blrd."
But that Is not the way you spelt II
