WORK OF KINGS DAUGHTERS.

WORK OF KINGS DAUGHTERS.
While the work of the Kings
Daughters is primarily spiritual there
is in conjunction with it large
amount of material charity which is
the natural outgrcwth of true spiritual
conservation.
1t is becoming more and more ap-
parent that there are many ways, both
wise and unwise. of dispensing charity
and it is to the credit OF the Kings
Daughters that they have learned the
better way. In towns possessing a
charity organization they do not hesi-
tate to be guided entirely by that So
ciety, and where there is none. the
greatest caution is observed that their
help may not prove a hindrance or
induce pauperism.
At recent Iowa convention. one
Of the founders of the order. Mrs. Isa-
bella Charles Davis. of New York.
spoke this great truth: The giving
of Thanksgiving dinners to the poor
is right so far as it goes, but never
to the same family the second year."
explaining the unusual statement
thus: "Never take up case to drop
it. If family needs your help on
Thanksgiving day, do not rest until you
have seen to it that they are in a
pusition to buy their own dinner the
next year. That is the only true
charity. to help people to help them
selves. - And this is what the King S
Daughters of Iowa are doing today.

From those who attended we learn
that the band did exceptionally we'll

HISTORIC HEIRLOOM THAT
HIGHLY PRICED.
"creat WiIloushby Chest" Presented
BY Elizabeth to Second Cousin
Who Shared Her Captivity In
the Tower Of London.

Boston.-If the great Willoughby
chest" priceless heirloom in the pos
session Of Theodore Raymond OF
Springfield, Mass, could talk, what
tales 1t might tell of the captivity Of
Princess Elizabeth, afterward the
Good Queen Bess" of England, In the
Tower of England, captivity shared
by her devoted maid Of honor, and
second cousin once removed. Lady
Margaret Willoughby, through whom
this chest, undoubtedly gift from
Queen Elizabeth, passed to her des-
cendants, the Raymonds of New Eng
land. And what JOY it would bring to
the Raymonds. the Lyndes. the Girls
wolds and other families Of Massachu-
sets and Connecticut In establishing
their direct descent from the beautiful
Elizabeth Woodville, who became the
wife Of King Edward w. These fami-
lies trace their genealogy back to the
break.
Other precious relics of Queen Eliz-
abeth were handed down with the
chest, including a tablecloth embroi-
dered by the princess during her inn
prisonment in the tower, another gift
to the faithful Lady Margaret.
The chest is massive affair, seven
feet in length, two feet seven inches
in width and two feet seven inches
high. 1t is made of peculiar hard
wood, originally very light in color,
but darkened exceedingly by age. The
quaint old carvings on the front and
on the inside of the cover, the hand
wrought massive iron hinges and ham
dies, the cumbersome lock and huge
keys are eloquent testimony Of its
age. The carvings on the outside,
which are nearly worn off, evidently
represent horsemen riding through a
forest. At either end of the three
front panels is gallant of the Eliza
bethan period, long-haired, plume-hat-
ted and a mass of ruffs and laces from
neck to knees. The carvings on the
inner side of the lid represent two
scenes, one of Sir Walter Raleigh
spreading his cloak before Queen
Elizabeth, the other of gay pleasure
party in boats among small islands,
with a turreted castle in the back
ground. Between the two scenes is a
coat-of-arms. The shield has either a
cross or lines to make four quarter
ings.
The tradition that this chest, with
the tablecloth embroidered in the
tower and other valuable gifts, was
given by Queen Elizabeth to Lady
Margaret Willoughby is so well au-
thenticated as to seem beyond dispute.
At any rate the tablecloth came down

a London merchant, comprising part
of what is now New Hampshire. He
came to Little Harbor (now Ports
mouth, N. HI, in 1880, and remained
but a short time.
The first real settler and head OF
one of the most prolific branches of
the family in New England was Rich
ard Raymond, who in 1886 received a
grant of land on what is now Winter
island in Salem harbor. He is des-
cribed in the records as mariner
and part owner of the ketch Hopewell
of Salem. He afterward removed to
Norwich, Conn, and in 1864 to Say
brook, where he was engaged in trade
with the English and Dutch settlers
on Manhattan.
The great chest, which had come
into the Raymond family by marriage
with the Willoughbys, was brought
from Block Island to New London in
1704 by Mrs. Mercy Raymond, widow
of Joshua, who was a grandson of
Richard. 1t was then known both as
the great Willoughby chest" and as
the elizabeth chest" From genera
ton to generation it was handed
down, and finally was bequeathed to
Theodore Raymond of Springfield, the
present owner, by his grandfather.

with celebrities, will not bear the fa-
miliar little round tablet.
Many Americans are likely to see
the latest building to be marked; the
house at "a Gloucester square, Hyde
Park, in which Robert Stephenson, the
inventor of the locomotive. lived dur
ing one of the most active and impor-
tant periods of his life, and in which
he died in 1859 at the age OF Sc.
Stephenson moved into this house in
1S47, and in the ten years following
his engineering projects took him
nearly around the world. He built
the great Victoria bridge over the st.
Lawrence at Montreal; he construct
ed the Alexandria to Cairo railway,
number of big railway bridges in Eng
land, and the Royal Border Viaduct
over the Tweed, and at the urgent re-
quest of the Norwegian government
he supervised that stupendous piece
Of engineering which connects Chris
tiania with Lake Miosen.
During most of these years Robert
Stephenson was member of parlia-
ment for Whitby and hard worker on
various commissions and committees.
The Gloucester square house, which
contains many interesting relics of
him, has now passed out of the hands
of his descendants.

The Cat and the Bear

Y LIEUTENANT c. D. RHODES, U.
 s. A, relates in St. Nicholas the A following story of how a cat com pelled bear to flee:
 Chris Burns, the veteran first sergeant of Troop D, had a cat, which, during the summer camping of the troop at the Lower Geyser Basin, made her home within the sergeant's tent. Here, curled up on a pair of army blankets, she de- fled the world in general, and dogs in particular When the latter approached, she would elevate every bristle on her brave little back, her eyes would glow like live coals, and her tail would swell up threateningly. If dogs approached too near, she would hiss and exhibit the usual signs of hostility until the in truders had vanished from her neigh borhood.
 One day. when the camp was bathed in sunshine and every soldier in camp felt lazy, an inouisitive black bear came down the mountain side, and. whether because he was in search of adventure or because attracted by a savory smell from the cooks fire. began to walk about among the white tents of the cav airy command.
 Suddenly the cat caught sight of him. Dogs by the score she had seen, but this particular dog was the largest and the hairiest dog she had ever seen. But she did not hesitate. It was enough for her that an enemy had invaded her special domain. Kissing forth her spite while her little body quivered with rage, she darted forth at the bear. The on- slaught was sudden and one glance was enough for Bruin. With a snort of fear, Bruin made for the nearest tree, a short distance away, and did not pause until he was safely perched among the upper branchesI Meanwhile the cat stalked proudly about on the, ground be- meath, keeping close guard over her huge captive, her back still curved into righteous indignation, while her tall little wave, as if to say: That's the way l settle impertinent bears"
 The soldiers. who meanwhile had poured forth from their tents. could scarcely believe their eyes; but there was the bear in the tree and the cat below, and there were those who had seen the affair from beginning to end.
 And perhaps the strangest part of 1t all was that the bear would not stir from his safe position in the branches until the cat had been persuaded to leave her huge enemy a clear means of retreat Then he slid shamefacedly down from his perch and ambled hastily on toward the mountain.
