My Darling Name: Of course you
have heard about dear Uncle Willie.
1t was so sweet of him to die and
leave me all his fortune. You are
thinking there is no one else to whom
he could leave it, but then he might
have settled it on some poky college
or town hall. Relatives sometimes
have a pleasant little way Of surpris-
ing one. Take that sarcastically if
you wish. At any rate, he dotted on
town halls, and as for me, ! am duly
thankful for all small favors. ] am
wearing mourning for him. l think
I ought to, don't you? And then, it
makes one look so much simmer.
Now do you know what l am going

IN LOVELY PHOENIX PARK.
The Scene of the Murders Is Remem
bered-Though Not Kept Green.

OF all the pleasure grounds we saw
abroad l liked Phoenix Park in Dub
lin the best, says a writer in the
Guidon. 1t covers nearly 1000 acres
and the seven mile drive around it is
delightful.
Acres Of it are let to citizens for
pasturage and herds of fat kline lazily
chewing under the trees or idly stand
ing in cool stream give touch not
found in any other resort.
On one plat when we were there a
detail of his majesty's red coats were
practicing target shooting. Yonder
came three dragons back from a
cross-country run. The vice-regal
lodge, plain and white looked, in spite
of the vastness of the green.grounds
about 1t, hot and uninviting in the
glare of the August sun.
In sight of the house, but a long
way from it, is the spot where Cav.
endish and Burke were murdered
some years ago. In vain do the gar.
deners try to keep grass above it. AS
fast as a bit grows it is taken up and
carried off by relic hunters.
Scores of deer were roaming about,
so tame that they frequently came
close to our car. One big stretch of
rolling land was crossed and recrossed
with what looked in the distance like
bitches. They are troughs, our driver
told us, into which at morning and
night water is pumped for the deer,
which come there by the hundred to
drink.

Book. Once NapoIeon,s. Found.

Students at Berkeley university,
browsing through the shelves of the
university library discovered an old
work on algebra, on the flyleaf Of
which was written: This book be-
longed to Napoleon Bonaparte." On
the inside of the cover were the
words: This was one of the volumes
that formed Bonaparte's library at
st. Helena On the next page were
the words: "Bonaparte's library,
Islande de st. Helene" These notes
are supposed to have been written by
owners OF the book, which was print
ed 95 years ago. The seal of Napo-
leon is found on one of its pages.
