brought a wagon with ton of coal
from Loughborough, in Leicestershire,
to London as a present to the. then
Prince Of Wales. When the coal was
emptied into the cellar the clerk Of the
cellars gave them guineas, and
as soon as the prince was Informed Of
it his highness sent them 20 guineas
and ordered them a pot Of beer
each man. They performed their jour
ney, which is III miles, in eleven days

MET AFTER MANY YEARS
Ellington Brotf ers. Mourning Each Other
Dead, Have Happy Reunion
In Wisconsin,.


In Wisconsin,.
Hartford, Wis, July 26.-After for
ty-fve years separation, two brothers,
John EllingsOn of Texas and Filing
Ellingson of MenomOnee Falls, have
been reunited at the home of Ole Ben
son, with whom they came to this
country.
The two Ellingsons entered railroa
service a few years after coming to
this country, in 1915, and gradually
drifted apart. Both are over 20 years
of age. John Ellingson recently came
from Texas to his old home in Indiana
and there learned that his sister, Mrs.
Andrews Peterson, had moved to
Pierce county, Wis, and his brother
to Menomonee Falls.
Coming here, he called UP his broth
err by phone. Filing EllingsOn had
long mourned his brother as dead and
when he heard his familiar voice,
somewhat cracked by age, he was
overcome and for a moment could not
believe his ears. The brothers and Mr..
Benson have spent many pleasant
hours in discussing tie "reminiscences
of bygone days.

a Pioneer Patentee.

1t is rather remarkable that the first
patent taken out in America should
have been secured by an Englishman.
1t was in the middle Of the seventeenth
century that an Englishman named
Jenk secured a monopoly in America
tinguishing fires which he had invent
ed in England some years previously,
but did not test it's practical working
until he migrated to America. The mo-
nopoly only lasted for fourteen years,
but Jenk made a very ample fortune
out Of his sales Of the apparatus.-Lon-

area, so that the population was not

was taken up by gardens and orcherds.
