plated and sold for summer homes.
The park will be on the same order
as the Coney Islands Of the large
eastern cities. There will be ''Shoot

Swing" and all the other side shows
that go to make up the Coney Island

and completed in time to sccommo-
date the summer crowds that visit
that spot.

who espOUsed the Union cause during
the civil war. After the establishment
OF peace he was rewarded for his fidelity
by being made provisional governor Of
his State.
At the time OF secession. however. he
was a member OF the Alabama Legisla-
ture, and. TO the indignation OF his
Southern friends who had elected him to
office, he voted against secession.
Soon afterward he wrote to his wife
that. as his supply Of shirts was ex-
hausted, he desired her to send him
more as soon as possible. Mrs. Parsons,
jealous Souther1er, answered In a
note remarkable for it's brevity and
point. Without prelude or formality. she

Gifts for the Player Folk.

The companies. with scenery and stage
hands, are taken to Windsor Castle, IN
special trains, which the King pay for
out of his private purse
The actors and actresses do not dine
at the Castle, but are the Kings guests
at the White Hart Hotel, Just outside
the castle gates. They do, however.
take supper after the performances in
the audience chamber. The King. with
his guests, usually manages to look in
on the players before supper is over.
The King gives each Of the players a
diamond brooch or scarfpin.
Sir Charles Wyndham and Sir John
Hare have dozens of the expensive gifts
from the King, which is all the re-
enumeration they receive for the com
mand' performance. They lose their
receipts for the nights performance at
their London theater. but the honor
and the diamond knicknacks are con-
sidered sufficient compensation.
