writer OF the foregoing paragraphs, was
the enormous list of wedding presents made
to Lord Stavordale and Lady Helen Stewart,
which appeared in every newspaper in the
country. The list Of donors read like the
whole of Whittaker's Titled Persons to-
Rether with a large selection from the pages
Of Who's Who" and the descriptions Of
the presents was such that one might think
each donor at least a millionaire. 1t may
be, indeed. that the description Of some Of
the presents may ave transcribed in
brilliance the presents themselves.
A Regent street jeweller is described
to-day as saying: Il have often had noble
lords, from Dukes down TO Barons, come in
here and turn the establishment in and out
in a vain effort to find something for As
which they hope they ear palm of as a
costly thing, representing at least an ex-
penditure OF $50, for even Dukes are not
above trying TO make a show
Now, though the noble lords may try
in vain to find for IS something that can
look as though it were worth ESQ, it is
not impossible that the description Of the
IS article may read very like $50 or even
more. The compilers of wedding present
lists often rival the gifted writer's Of auc-

The interviewer Of the Regent street

Professor Klllemofrski had but one su.
preme delight.
Which was to find some certain way In
which to win fight
He crulsed right round that thought untn
he MADE gun so great
And powerful that IL could sink a navy
while you wait
And when he had that gun complete so It
would send shot
Right through an armored vessels side and
sink il on the spot
He set himself about 1t just as firmly TO
create
A warship made OF stun no gun could ever
penetrate.
And finally he built boat, and did his
work so we'll
That gun OF his could never drill a window
through its shell.
Its sides were some new kind of steel so
tough and firm and stout
That all the guns in Christendom could
never knock II out.
And yet he was not satisfied, but studied
day and night;
He lunched on smokeless powder and he
daned on dynamite,
The fierce expression on his face was proof
beyond doubt
That there were other problems still for
him TO figure cut.
He went away of by himself and built
secret mill,
Twas "flfteen miles from nowhere" and
he camped right there until
He found new explosive SO all-powerful
and fierce
That 1t could send she'll through steel no
other shot could pierce.
He stlll kept on inventing; every gun he
made would shoot
Ten times as far as all the rest and twice
as straight to boot.
Until, at last he made gun that shot so
far, alacki
The ball went clear around the world and
hit him in the back.
But maybe It was for the best for. had he
lived. full soon
He must have made a gun with which to
shoot away the moon
And Venus, Saturn, Mercury, and Jupiter
and Mars,
And on and on and on until he shot out all
the stars.
