RYAN'S SON TOO YOUNG,
ENGAGEMENT is BROKEN.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Although nc
definite reasons have been given or
either side, the engagement of Miss
Lillian B.. Grail, daughter of Mrs. G. F,
M. Bond, Of Yonkers, N. Y, to Joseph
J. Ryan, youngest son of Thomas f.
Ryan, which was announced last July,
has been broken.
From personal friends of both fami-
lies 1t was gathered that the youthful
ness of Mr.. Ryan had much to do with
the cancellation of the engagement. AL
though he looks much older, he is little
more than Is years old. His father.
who was In Europe when the engage
ment was made, wanted his son to fin
ish his college education before starting
in life.

Another extraordinary walking stick
was also associated with a member of
the House of Commons who was build

country district. Several times during
his visits of inspection he CHANGED to
notice at the railway station a SUBJ

contractor, who was erecting his new
house, and, meeting the contractors
clerk one day. he asked him why his
employer should send his stick back

BY way of answer the clerk, who was
carrying the stick at the time. touched
a spring In 1t, unscrewed a cap which
then revealed itself, and then poured
out from the hollow interior quite f10(

planned, used to bring down the weekly

wonderful collection of walking sticks,
among which the most remarkable, and
perhaps the most valuable, is the near
est approach extant to the horn of the
unicorn which appears in h royal
arms. 1t is cut from the single horn Of
a white rhinoceros-a species now ex-
tinct, from which the heraldicl unicorn
is supposed to have originated-and is
unique as regards its length, which is
forty-two inches. 1t was given, more
than forty years ago. by a Kaffir chief
to Louis Solomon. a South African
pioneer. and. ipclosed in a case of ma
