Oedtu VI WE. benjamin buLler'
The above named and we'll known
gentleman passed to the Great
Beyond last week at the home of
his daughter, Mrs Hattie GalIick,
in Huntington. Twenty years ago
he was a familiar and greatly re-
spotted figure on the streets of our
little city. For many years he was
engaged in the hotel and boarding
house business here, and no more
courteous and popular landlord
ever presided over any hostelery
than Mr.. Butler. He was kind
and generous and thousands of
meals were given away to needy
friends and the hungry wayfarer.
1t mattered not to him whether
his sky was illumined with bright.
est sunshine or overcast with dark
est shadow, "Ben" always had a
smile, kind words and a hearty
handshake for enc and all.
AS an illustration of his liberality
and tenderness of heart we cite the
following: The Immortal j. N, /"
who recently died in Ohio. and
known the length and breadth of
the country, was in those days a
frequent victor to our town and
he invariably made Mr.. Buffers
house his home, where he "assum-
ed the pressure and raised the
veil" as long as he remained in
the place which was seldom less
than from ten days to two weeks.
Although u N" never paid him
Tor anyone else, for that matter, } a
cent, Mr.. Butler greeted him upon
each succeeding return trip with
as warm a welcome as be could
have extended to Rockefeller or
Vanderbilt.
All of our older citizens, who
knew him we'll, are saddened to
learn of his death and to know
and feel that in the death Of Mr..
Butler a good man,is gone.
IS Mr.. Butler was about seventy
years of age, and had been in fail
ing health for long time. He
leaves a widow, (nee Miss Maria
Sisson) and a daughter, Mrs. Jos
Galhok, of Huntington, to whom

II our license laws are enforced
by our officials and the sale of
liquor kept within the reasonable
bounds of the law, it cannot well
be denied that there would be less
injury to the morals of this com.
munity than to close the saloons
and thereby bring about the spesk.
easy and clubstand other secret de
vices to get liquor. These devices
afford no protection to the wife OF
child who may be injured in her
means of support by sale to the
husband or parent, while the sa-
loon keeper in this state must give
bond for that very purpose, and
that bond is liable for any judg
ment that may be obtained against
him for the violation of any of the
conditions of the license bond
Such is not the case with those
engaged in the business outside Of
the state and out of the jurisdiction
of our courts. However much
whisky is brought just across our
border. In Ohio the persons
making the sale escapes action for
justice, although the law of morali,
ty and deoenoy may have been
fagrantly violated. Under exist.
ing conditions we believe our peo-
pie by decided majority favor
license in Point Pleasant.

An Elephant Ferry.

One of the strangest ferries in the
world Is to be found in India. A Hin.
doc Glanced to save the life OF a prince
and as n reward received one OF the
largest elephants In the royal stables.
But This honor caused the recipient
much anxiety, as the animals appetite
was too great for his owner to satisfy.
The 1Iindoos' house stood near n turn
in the river. where many persons
crossed. and as the stream was nj
times a raging flood, boats and men
were often carried out OF their course.
On one occasion when the elephant
was bathing Ia the river. IL suddenly
occurred &C. the owner TO use the ami
NAL as ferryboat. A harness was
made for the elephant. with n long
rope as trace, which was fastened to
O heavy boat. The latter, loaded with
passengers. was successfully towed
over the river. and since that time the
animal has been a source OF profit to
his owner.

BOGUS BARoNETS.
British Title TaneIe That the Law Can.
not Reach.

nCt heSC0
The departmental committee of the
British house of lords while attempt
ing 20 find the ways and means OF OBJ
Waiting the wrongful assumption OF the
title of baronct has come upon two In
teresting discoveries-that over per
cent of the present baronets whose III
Ties appear i'm "Burke's Peerage' are
bogus and shat there is no existing law
which may call the usurpers to nc-
count.
In fnct. anybody may put Sir be-
fore bis name and Bart" after IL.
Write q lsttor to Dod's. Burke or
Debrett, claim insertion, and no one
may say you may" Indeed, the edi.
tors by rejecting such a claim would
ruin the risk Of having libel suit on
their hands, a suit which would be un.
commonly difficult to defend. Another
interesting revels. Jon is that there is
nothing to prevent woman from as
Stunning the title.
During the seventeenth, eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries n baronetcy
was not unlike the cross of the Legion
OF Honor-few escaped ii. Baronets
have been found in warehouses and in
prisons, in every court of English
jurisprudence, from that of bankruptcy
TO that of the chancery, and, while
hundreds of genuine baronets have
dropped their titles through poverty,
disgrace or contempt. others have talk.
en- their titles, and there is no law to
prevent them. Really the law may be
| said 10 defend them in their claim.
! These bogus baronetS do not hsVe to
prove that they came rightfully by the
| title. 1t is for those who question their
right to prove that they are not entitled
TO the distinction.
The departmental committee there
fore finds itself investigating a most
| delicate subject. 1t has been suggest
| ed that the ancient court OF chivalry
| be revived, which should sit upon all
doubtful cases, but the commons could
never be induced to pass bill author
izing such a revival. The committee
has therefore simply passed a resolu-
ton that the home Office, with the rec
concentration of the king, should is
| sue his commands that no person who
Is not on the official roll of baropets
| should be received at court as baronet
| or should be mentioned by that title in
any civil or military commission, let
| ters patent or other official document"
But suppose such Il resolution should
be adopted and suits be brought in
consequence by the bogus baronets now
| In existence to compel the crown to
recognize their titles. The Heralds'
college. TO which the crown would have
to turn for its defense. would be glut-
| ted for the next century.
The baronet Is not an ancient title.
It was introduced by James l., that
shrewd Scotch monarch who succeeded
Elizabeth in 1908. lie was unpopular
| Mt first. He was also poor. lie Gre
ated 205 baroncts, each one paying e.
600 for tho privilege. He tried to limit
baronet making within the confines of
n personal monopoly and to prevent
any further creations after his death.
In this he was unsuccessful. His son,
Charles L., made 255 baronets; his
grandson, Charles IL, 426, and so on
until we come to the star record made
by George I'LL, who was responsible

Why Jewesses Marry oentiIes.

A writer in the Jewish World, Lon
don, who signs herself "a Jewess
Girl" is of the opinion that blame for
much of the marrying that goes on be-
tween Jewish girls and men Of other
faiths and against which the chief
rabbi recently inveighed is to be laid
at the door OF the Jewish young man.
1t Is alleged by the "Jewess Grip that
the average middle class Jewish youth
Is outrageously spoiled by his family
and therefore sets IN excessively high
value upon himself, which does not
conduce to the establishment of friend
ly relations between himself and girls
OF his own class. Moreover, 1t is said,
the Jewish young men are not content
to start their married lives I'm simple
fashion and therefore usually require
to marry where money is, II not ac-
tually for money.-American Israelite.
