Duchess of Bedford Gives History of
Abbey, But knowledge Is
Very Scant.

The duchess of Bedford, who
died in 1859, was rather weak
minded, and unhappily her educa-
tion did little to disguise the de
fects which nature had imposed
upon her Her great dread was
to have visitor at W0burn Alb.

lions about the foundation and
history Of the abbey. So if she had
a savant in the party she always
asked a man Of higher rank to
meet him, so that she might not be
taken in to dinner by the sayant.
Once. as bad luck would have it,
she got Lord Stanhope, the histOr-
ian, who, though he had to take
her in to dinner, was none the less
a savant. AS soon as he sat down
TO dinner he began the dreaded in

CONTROVERSY OVER SKIN.
Raccoon Pelt Pays for Ferrying Across
River, But Is Found
Unsound.

Many years ago, as the story
runs, when 'coonskins were worth
six bits apiece in Arkansas, says
Field and Stream, and a regular
fee of two bits was assessed for
ferrying a hOrseman across the ST.
Francis river, there came along a
traveller whose entire capital
consisted of but single pelt-and
the ferryman hadn't cent of
change in his pocket. The trav.
eler was bound to cross, but re
fused to pay three times as much
as the man who passed before
him, or the one who was to come
next. The ferryman would not
wet an oar unless payment for his
services was assured. Here was
ample foundation for an argu-
ment, and presumably the OppOr-
tunity was not neglected; but a
satisfactory arrangement was
finally reached. the traveller get
ting value received for his
'cOOnskin by being waited thrice
across the stream. This of
course would leave him on
the right side and neither party
would have cause for complaint.
Such was the generous spirit of
accommodation which obtained in
these earlier days; such-but hold
on a bit! On the second trip the
ferryman CHANGED to inspect the
'cOOnskin closely and found that
it was by no means up to the rec
ognized standard. Maybe it had
been killed too early in the season,
or was not properly stretched.
he decided that four bits,
was all it was worth, and the tray
eler frankly admitted the sound.
ness of his judgment, acknOwl
edged that he hadreceivedits value
in the double feIriage, and forth
with started on his 50-mile ride up
the river TO the nearest point
where it was fordable.
