ONE-HORSE VAN IS
DEAD GENERALS
FUNERAL CAR
Body of Gen. Macdonald Is
Hauled Through London
on Ordinary Express Truck
Widows Plan for I'M
mediate Burial Calls Forth
Protests From the Influen-
tial ScOtchmen.

LONDON, March 29.-The dispatch
Of the remains of Maj. Gen. MacDon-
aid, who committed suicide in Paris,
to Scotland tonight by train, was the
occasion for a remarkable demonstra-
ton owing to the fact that his widow
has decided that the burial shall take
place at o'clock in the morning i'm
mediately after the arrival of the body
at Edinburgh. Hundreds of Scotch
men, representing the Highland socie-
ties and several Scotch members Of
parliament, gathered on the platform
at the Kings Cross railway station
here. Most of the Scotchmen wore
their national costumes, wreaths were
placed on the coffin in the name of the
different clans and the pipers played
national dirges as the body was en-
trained.
All attempts to persuade the widow
to delay the interment and permit
Aighlanders to arrange for a national
funeral in the Highlands having fail
ed, a large number of influential
Scotchmen adjourned to the hotel in
the railway station and held meeting
of protest. The Scotch members of
parliament, Allan and Galloway Weir
and others, made speeches, and reso-
luton was adopted urging the lord
provost of Edinburgh to renew the eff
forts to have the funeral postponed.
The generals remains arrived in Lon
don early today, accompanied only by
Sir Hector's older brother, his cousin,
who is a clergyman, and an undertake
er. Nobody was at the station to meet
them and the body, inclosed in a plain
wooden packing case, bearing the stem
ciled inscription, H. A. M, Edin-
burgh," was driven unnoticed through
London to the Kings Cross railway
station in a one-horse railway parcel
van, the tarpaulin of which was dec
grated with a Haunting seaside adver-
tisement.
The coffin was removed to the bag
gage car of the train, in which it lay
throughout the day Prior to the start
ing of the train, Lady Jeune, the phi
lanthropist and wife of Judge Jeune,
who comes of the Seaforth family of
Stewart Mackenzie, brought some
roses and placed them on the coffin.
ScOtchmen are indignant at the incon-
gruity of the whole affair and the re-
fusS1 OF the war office to be connected
with the funeral.

Audubon and His Hair.

Audubon, the great naturalist early
in his career Wore his hair very long.
He wrote in his diary one day: 81
wear my hair as long as usual. l be-
lieve it does as much for me as my
paintings" However, in 1927 his
friends succeeded in persuading him
to get his hair cut according to the pre-
vailing fashion. On March 10 Of that
year he wrote in his diary: "This day
my hair sacrificed and the will of God
usurped by the wishes of man. AS the
barber clipped my locks rapidly it re-
minded me of the horrible times of
the French revolution when the same
operation was performed upon all the
victims murdered by the guillotine. My
heart sank low" Further to express
his grief the margin of the page on
which this entry was made he painted
black about three-quarters of an inch
deep all around

Mr.. prith,. Portrait Of Dickens.

NE. WR1th's Portrait OF Dtckeng.
It was early in the fifties that John
Forster asked me to paint portrait of
Dickens for him. gladly consented
and was about to propose day for the
first sitting when Forster stopped me
by mentioning what he called most
unfortunate propensity which Dickens
had developed-he was actually grow
ing mustache! "'Tis just fancy of
the moment" said Forster land we
must wait till the craze has passed
away" A very few months convinced
us that the mustache, so far from pass
ing away, was rapidly growing into
what threatened to be formidable
beard. 80, unless one-half of the face
was to be lost to us, no more time
should be lost. My idea was to paint
him in his working clothes, but when
found that he always Wore light
bright blue silk coat with big red cuffs

hand l demonstrated so successfully
that after a little hesitation he con-
sented to wear the black jacket in
which he now appears at South Ken

BRIGHAM TALKS TO FARMERS.
Urges Firm Stand Against Organized
Labor and Capital.


Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 17.-Assist-
ant Secretary of Agriculture j. p.
Brigham addressed the National
Grange. of which he was master for
nine years. He urged the farmers to
take firm stand against the tyranny
OF organized labor and organized cap
ital." Both, he said, were threatening
problems. which the agricultural class
alone could solve. His words were
received with great enthusiasm.
Two important resolutions were in
troduced. One from Oregon called for
an investigation of the charges that
the railroads are charging the govern
ment more than they charge the ex.
press companies for carrying packages
The other demanded compensation
for rural mail route carriers which
would equal that received by city mail
carriers Both resolutions were re-
ferred to the legislative committee
An important resolution was intro
duced in relation to the scarcity of
farm labor, asking Secretary of Agri.
culture Wilson what can be done to
induce the immigration into the
United States of competent farm la
borers from foreign countries.

Tickling the Debtors.

John Barrett was only twenty seven
years old when President Cleveland
appointed him minister to Siam. The
first important task which confronted
the youthful envoy was to press a
claim against the Siamese government
for $1,O000OO. Experienced ambassa-
doris warned him against using threats
in obtaining the money. BE cunning;
avoid arrogance" they said.
THAT is" responded Mr.. Barrett,
you favor tickling with straw to
pricking with a bayonet."
The statesmen nodded assent
When the young minister had finally
succeeded in collecting the claim the
ambassadors asked in astonishment,
"How did you accomplish it?"
"By tickling" explained Barrett. 81

though, before they agreed to pay it."

The Best Remedy For Group.

From Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.l
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the mid
die of the night by whoop from one
of the children. The Group remedies
are almost as sure to be lost, in case
of Group, as a revolver is sure to be
lost in case of burglars. There used
to be an old-fashioned remedy for
Group, known as hive syrup and tolu,
but some modern mothers say that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet
ter, and does not cost so much. It
causes the patient to "throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief In
a shorter time. Give this remedy as
soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take.

appeared over story of the Pigott
forgery. In that case one Of the de-
vices by which Sir Charles Russell

word was misspelled "hesitency." The

The Nose.

Use the nose to breathe through and
not the mouth. In winter and spring
particularly must this care be taken.
If the mouth is kept open large drafts
of cold air rush directly in upon the
lungs, chilling the body almost in
stantly. If the mouth is kept shut the
air can reach the lungs only by the
circuit of the nose and head, and it be-
comes warmed before reaching the
lungs. 1t is asserted that the reason
the American nose is becoming more
and more narrow is owing to the repre-
hensive habit Of breathing through the
mouth rather than following the inten-
ton of nature.

Cast Iron.

By altering the rate Of cooling the
strength of iaon can be greatly changed,
rately from the casting and cooled
quicker, so that they usually have
greater strength, sometimes more than
twice as much. Separately cast test
bars are always stronger than those
cast on the castings itself, and Of the
latter the one nearest the heaviest part
Of the casting Is always the weakest
The remedy, as above indicated, is
simple when the false witness has
once been pointed out.
