it Is known that President Roosevelt

TREASURED GIFT OF MONARCH.
Luck Of Muncaster Hall a Relic Of Un-
fortunate kinq.

In Muncaster castle, in Cumberland,
England, the seat of Lord Muucaster,
there is, in the oldest part OF the
building. a room which is known as
the Kings room, According to tradi-
ton this was one occupied by Henry
VI. In it may be seen -four ancient
bedpOsts of handsome carved oak, in
an excellent state OF preservation, and
which are believed to belong to the
bed in which the king slept.
1t was in the year 1861 that he was
at Muncaster. The Wars Of the Roses
were convulsing the kingdom at the
time, and the unfortunate king. fee
ing for his life after the defeat of his
troops at Towton, made his way into
Cumberland. where he vas reduced TO
wandering about in a destitute condi-
ton on the hills. Here he was found
one night by some loyal shepherds,
who conducted him safely to Muncas-
ter castle, where lived Sir John Pen
nington, an ancestor Of Lord Muncas-
ter, who was a devoted adherent to
the Lancastrian cause. Henry received
a hearty welcome, and lay concealed
at NllIlCdSltI lOI Hlduy NCchS, WHlIS
his enemies made active search for
him high and low. At length his pres
ence there became suspected, sud he
could no longer remain in safety. Be-
fore setting out on his travels again
Henry took sorrowful leave of his
faithful host. silver and gold and
jewels have 7 none to give" he said.
but this will ! give YOU, and along
with it the blessing Of the most IN.
fortunate Of princes" He thereupon
presented Sir John with a curious
glass bowl in which he had been &C.
customcd to keep holy water, and,
kncelinG down, he prayed that every
blessing might await the friend who
had shown such consistency to him
in his heavy misfortunes, and further
that a male heir might never be want
ing TO this ancient race. In conclu'
sion, the king assured Sir John that
the family would sprosper SO long as
they preserved the bowl u%nbroken.
SO saying, he went out into the world
