decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records Of the specialists of this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use Of coffee.

The last act of Marshall Field int !"
world of local finance, in which he had
become a dominant figure in recent
years. was in connection with the i'm
pending failure of the Walsh banks.
1t was through his influence AMI at his
suggestion that the clearing house
committee adopted the plan OF liqui-
dation which was put into effect when
the institutions closed. Mr. Field
prevented a financial crash that might
have dragged down score Of local
banking houses.
The committee had been in ses-
sion with the comptroller of the cur
rency for hours. 1t was late at night
before Mr. Field was appealed to. He
went from his residence to where the
Chicago financiers were in session.
The situation was briefly outlined and
he Immediately proposed the solution.
Several members of the committee de-
INJURED to accepting the responsibility
for the deposits of the Walsh banks.
Mr.. Field pointed out the shock to
Chicagos financial credit if the banks

"Mctherinq Sunday"

The fourth Sunday in Lent, which
is also known as "Simnel Sunday" is
called "Mothering Sunday" as well. In
many of the country districts Of Eng
land the young people who are in SER
vice and various other employments
visit their parents on this day, and
the afternoon services are largely at

This custom is very strictly observed
in Monmouthshire and there is much
to be said in favor of it.

The "Beggars OF the Sea" we're
those who, during the war for Dutch
independence. fought Philip Of Spain

Count Louis of Nassau. presented to

bold front, she was inclined to yield
to their demands, when the count of
Barliamont, one Of her council, whis-
pered to her that she need not be
afraid Of these gatherings Of beg
gars." In moment of savage irony,
those to whom this contemptuous
epithet was applied, accepted the
title, and Long live the Beggars!"
was the watchword which was heard
during that prolonged and bitter
struggle, which lasted over fifty years
and ended in the release Of HOLLAND

Some years ago the province of
Luxembourg was infested with
wolves. The alarmed inhabitants ap-
pealed to the minister Of agriculture,
who in turn called upon the minister
Of war, with the result that several
regiments were ordered to the prov

In short order.
1t is not many years ago that Ger
man soldiers were ordered to East
Belgium to assist the peasants in
combating a plague Of rats, and mil
lions were killed before the troops
were withdrawn. Four thousand Rus

in the vicinity of Odessa after the
great blizzard of 1903, and company
Of French infantry enjoyed a lion
hunt in the streets of Chartres when
