Professor Matched the Boss.

Boston and Cambridge people of an
earlier day remember well Professor
Child of Harvard, a scholar who was
likewise a live man. They tell with
great glsto a story about his faithful
attention to city politics. Professor
Child always attended to his duties as
a citizen of Cambridge. One night he
went to a ward meeting at which Il
boss began to PIT forth some of his
warped IDEAS. The college professor
was speedily OF his feet and scathing,
~ denounced the boss and his methods.
After the meeting was over the good
natured boss. just to show that he bore

stairs and, genially handing over ci

His antagonist Strengthened up, took
the cigar and said with great dignity,

Americans Greatest of Travellers,

Americans are rightfulIy called the
greatest travellers in the world. They
all seem imbued with the spirit of
Columbus, and when we think of that
yenturer across strange waters in
search of he knew not what we can
scarcely associate him with any other
country as a native than ours. 1t is
a noticeable fact that in every resort
of prominence in England and on the
continent there are to be seen among
the tourists during the season at least
two Americans to every one represent

African cities Americans are even
more in predominance over travellers

Didn't Get a Patent.

Among the strange applications which

years ago was most extraordinary, ii
being a petition for Il patent for an ant

the approach of ants was stopped II
seems that chalk makes an ants legs

ton was novel and caused ms dara-

M. E. PREACHERS MEETING
St. JOhnsbury District Preachers
Meet at Island Pond Oct. 21-22.

All day Monday Island Pond was the
Mecca of the Methodist itinerant of
the st. Johnsbury district and even
ing found seventeen members present.
The meeting was opened with an or
gan voluntary played by Mrs. H. w.
Blake. As the closing strains died
away VIM. Shaw, former pastor,
who presided, announced that in
spring old hymn which our fathers
sung, so, Could Speak the Match
less Worthi" 1t was followed by a
second selection and prayer was
offered by w. 3. Dukeshire OF Barton.
A beautiful solo, "Star of the East, !"
was sung by Mrs. G. L. Nichols I'D E.
Z. Wells of Irasburg read the Scrip
ture lesson. The sermon, strong
and forceful one, was preached by
Rev. r. j. Chrystie of Newport from
Psalm III: 4 "He hath made his won
derful works to be remembered. y
We sincerely hope that there was no
one present who was SO "biind" as to
be unable TO see the hand of GOD in
both tie marvellous works of nature
and of history which the speaker SO
graphically and so feelingly por-
trayed. We trust, too, that no one
who listened was 80 ''deat" as not to
hear the ten thousand voices which
necessarily call to man telling of the
love and goodness and wonderful
providence of the Omnipotent. We
also hope that there was no one so
''deadn as not to feel new life and vi
tally infused into his heart by the
earnestness and enthusiasm of our
brother.
Tbs closing hymn was sun by ct o I
and congregation. F. W. Lewis pro-
nounced the benediction, and the first
session of our meeting was sealed for
eternity.

HISTORY OF CASE
Druce Legal Controversy In

LIVED AN ECCENTRIC LIFE
British NobIeman's Daily Movements

On looking up the published matter
on the Druce-Portland claim case,
which is being tried at London, was
surprised TO find how on first sight SO
many complicated facts were combin-
ed in the bruce case as to bear their
most probable explanation only in one
way, writes London correspondent
of the New York Post. Gradually
saw built up before my eyes one of the
most extraordinary and romantic fami-
" tangles revolving around man who
from his position and eccentricities
must be regarded as a historic freak
hardly less remarkable than the Mar
uuls of Casanova or the Due de Lau
Zun. | am inclined to regret that the
course of evidence in the present trial
tends TO destroy the probability that
this ingenious Pigment can be maintain
ed. But of that anon. For the pres
ent ii is interesting to consider the
curious history of the fifth Duke OF
Portland as presented by one who
claims to be his grandson and heir to
his title and estates.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-12-14

> -. ~~a-orzseets.-a ,rs;h
The great wealth of the family,
drawn mostly from ever increasing
London rents, has always given them
important political influence, but in the
time of the fifth duke his younger
brother, Lord George Bentinck, was
regarded as the leader of the country
gentlemen of England and the cham
pion of tie protectionists against Sir
Robert Peel and the free traders.
1t was therefore natural that his
elder brother, the duke, as l shall call
him henceforward, should be great
magnate. whose movements would nat
urally be followed by hundreds of
those who were dependent on him or
looked up to him in some way. Never
theless it is Il matter of record that
the life of the duke was eccentric to a
degree and his private habits so skill
fully concealed that no evidence has
yet been successfully brought forward
by his acknowledged heirs which has
upset the almost absurd allegations of
the present claimant.
In 1916 Lord John Bentinck. as he
then was, younger son of sixteen,
instead of being at Elton or Harrow,
Oxford or Cambridge, mysteriously
disappeared for four years until 1920
The only record of this sprig of nobil-
ity during the period is an honorary
military appointment in 1918, which he
seems TO have fulfilled by one public
appearance about a year later. This
seems to have led TO his return to soci
ETY., where he shortly became conspic-
uous, first, owing to his succession
through the death of his elder brother
as Marquis of Titchfield to the rever
sion of the dukedom; second, by some
remarkable exploits on the turf. Fol
the next fifteen years he ran very
successful racing partnership with
two brothers, Lord George Bentincl

before it was closed in 1885 is reported
to have yielded them all an immense
amount of profit.
Disappears Second Time.
The year 1888 was marked by the
Secoud disappearance of our hero. and
public man as he must have been after
his racing successes, scarcely anything
was known of him for nearly twenty
years. Two important recorded events
took place. The first was his quarrel
with his brother, Lord George Ben
timex, in 1S4S over lady identified
as Annie May Berkeley, reputed to
be the daughter of the fifth Earl of
Berkeley by disputed marriage This
quarrel reached the point of blows,
one of which, as the story runs. was
| the cause of the death of Lord George
in the height of his political campaign
against Sir Robert Peel The second
| was his succession in 1854 to the duke
dom. From this time onward follows
| the most romantic portion of the dukes
career. For ten years his daily move
ments were deliberately concealed. Ev-
, identity he was leading one if not two
double lives with the most persevering
devotion to intrigue. No pleasures
could possibly have been sufficient re-
| ward for the pains he took to conceal
his movements.
Under these circumstances it was
natural that every kind of rumor and
| report should surround him. But some
of his immediate dependents may be
looked upon as reliable witnesses neg
atively to his movements. The fact is
that none of them. however intimately
associated with him, can prove any
regular residence or existence for him
as duke. His yalet's account is one
