MYSTIC WREATH EXPLAINED

Death Was Sent by Much
Admired Singer.

At the time Of Queen Victoria's fu-

newspapers about a mysterious wreath
laid upon the CONN. II was one Of the
finest there, but bore only the words,
o, Rest In the Lordi" No name was
attached, and there was q great deal Of
speculation as to who had sent It. It
has now been revealed that the wreath
was placed there by Queen Alexandra
On behalf Of Miss Ada Crossley, the IA
nous Australian eontralto. She was
often commanded" TO Windsor castle

her singing. Once she happened to
choose her majesty's favorite song, 20,

WILLIAM H. LEE.
Csole Surviving Pensioner OF the Black
Hawk War;

N5QAo GAENANA4k ESAA1ADAcE u NAAs oAalSa
Hawk War;
tury to make their fight for a home.
These rough, determined Illinoisans
have gradually diminished In numbers,
and the past few years have witnessed
the death Of the few who survived the
last quarter Of the century.
The sole remaining fighter Of the In
teresting struggle with the Indians was
born November II, 1915, In Cayuga
county, N. Y. When young Lee was
three years Of age his father, accom-
panied by a large part Of his immediate
relatives, with their families, came west
to Illinois. The party made its way on
two RATS and q fatbOat constructed
from logs. The emigrants took all Of
their live stock with them In their
passage down the Allegheny and Ohio
rivers, landing at Shawneetown, from
there going to Salem, and finally went
to Vandalia, at that time only a small
village. At this place Lee grew toyoung
manhood under the hard lessons Of
frontier life, assisting his father IN his
grain treadmil and In saving lumber.
At that time the accommodations for
grinding produce Of the farmers was
crude and the state legislature conse-
quently offered the elder Lee a large
tract Of land on condition that he con-
struct and maintain a water mill for a
period Of 20 years. Vandalia was the
capital Of Illinois at the time. Other
members Of the family also engaged IN
business, and the Lees secured the
privilege Of constructing a part Of the
national highway when Il was built.
When the Sac and Fox, or as II was
known, the Black Hawk, war broke out
IN 1882, william n. Lee was only Is
years Of age, but he possessed courage
equal to the hardy training he had re-
ceiVed in his Illinois pioneer life. After
the close Of the war he made three sue
eessful trips to New Orleans by boat.
which in these days was considered a
feat Of unusual importance, each time
taking large loads Of grain. In 1850 he
succumbed to the California gold fever.
making an overland trip to that part
Of the country. This trip was followed
by two others. On each Of the trips large
numbers Of cattle were taken along as
an investment The party was attacked
by Indians on the first trip. but was sue
eessful in defeating the red men On the
second journey the party lost all their
live stock. The third trip was thorough
ly successful. Returning TO his farm
IN Illinois, Mr.. Lee has remained there
In active charge until within the past few
years, when he turned active manage
ment over to other hands. None Of his
children are living.

Taleott Young TalcOtt started In at
the bottom. Mr.. Talcott also owns
large interest In the New Britain Knit
ting company, and with these two COM
panies the young man concerned him
self. Instead Of living with his uncle,
one Of the richest men in Connecticut,
the nephew chose to take q room in .
quiet boarding house.
This was two years ago. Day after day
young Talcott applied himself strictly
70 business. One man particularly in
tsrested him-John Briefly, foreman in
the picker" room. A friendship sprang
up between the two-the millionaire's
son who wasn't afraid OF work and the
mill hand. Gradually the college boy
found himself spending much Of his
spare time in the old mans company.
Finally, one day he went home with
Briefly. MY daughter" said the old
man, as a vision clad in dainty white
came to meet him, Miss Ada She
works for the Parker Shirt company"
When young Taleott went away after
staying to a dainty tea prepared by the
girls own hands, he asked permission to
call again. He called again and very
soon.
Gradually the calls became more and
more frequent. Finally the acquaintance
changed to an ardent courtship. The
young man hadn't bothered telling his
father nor HIS mother He chose a we'd
ding that was Numerically opposite to

''The lady At Saratoga gets more out
d her visit than does the gentleman
who takes her there" says Charles E.
Trevathan, In Everybody's Magazine.
She may do with impunity in Sarato-
ga those things which she may not ap-
prOach even In thought elsewhere, and
Il is perhaps because Of this temporary
freedom that she loves her Saratoga as
she loves no other resort. II Is the one
environment through which she may
move along II she like, the one acre Of
pleasure-making where the escort Is not
necessary to her pursuit OF laughter
She may 90 through the drives alone
In the forenoon, and she may stroll
about the race course in the afternoon
alone; she may dine alone and wine
alone; she may sit out the concerts In
the evening or watch the moonlight on
the verandas alone, and there will scarce
be comment upon her actions. She may,
without fear, 90 alone anywhere and
everywhere in the town taat q man can
90. And this is privileges Of which she
ices not avail herself. She merely gets
keen sort Of relish in the idea that she
could an she would There is more fun

have studied the methods Of operations
and learned to manipulate the key

The assignment Of Gen Corbin 10 the

honors in store for him. President
roosevelt with that devotion to civil
service principles that has marked all
his public career, believes that In the
army men should be fitted BY experience
for positions to which they may be pro-
NOTED. He believes that the lieutenant
general Of the army and chief Of star
should be an oficer who has had prac-
teal experience in every department Of
the service. For this reason he consid-
ers it essential that this of1cer, who Is
virtually head Of the army, although
nominaIly the president and secretary
Of war are superior to him, should be
thoroughly acquainted With conditions
in the Philippines It Is appreciated
that the most important army problems
that must be solved are involves in that
archipelago.
With this end in view, President
Roosevelt has asked Gen. Corbin to take
command in the Philippines. The as
Segment Is somewhat Of q surprise to
those who unWarrantedly supposed that
the president would promote Brig.
Gen. Leonard Wood to military CON-
mand Of those islands. President Roose-
welt is Gen. Woods friend, but not 10 the

Gen. Corbin to the Philippines is proof
Of this, as it is no secret that the friend
