Keeps Her Own Name.

The English woman has at least one
advantage over her American sister"
said a young woman who has just re-
turned from Il two years stay in Lott
don. The English law does not re-
quire wife to take her husbands sur
name. She can please herself. The
point was settled several years ago
when Mrs. Fenwicl1 Miller was elected
on the London School Board. She had
never taken her husbands name. mere
ly altering Miss into Mrs. and a for
nal protest was entered against her
election because it vas claimed that
she had not stood under her legal name.
This protest was referred to the law
officers of the Crown and they decided
in her favor. Now. there are large
number of society women in England.
most Of them widows. who have never
taken the names of their husbands
They refuse to give UP the title and
position they already possess for the
sake of using their husbands names.
OF course, the question of chang
ing their name and thus losing
their identity in marriage is even
more important to the professional
woman whose welI-known name
is often of commercial value. In
America. where the women use ons
name for business purposes and an
other for society, 1t would seem dread
full never to take the husbands name
at all. yet it is much simpler, and tina
almost invarilbe rule among English
women. New York Sun.

times of the war the little gator dis
appeared. At this point there is a
lapse of As years or more. Here is the
second chapter Of the tale as told by
the Constitution: During the day
yesterday as workmen were tearing
up the floor Of 1873 Decatur street. next
door to police headquarters. and alliga-
tor, measuring nearly five feet, and
weighing $50 pounds, was discovered
in the mud under the old floor. George
Drummond, owner of the building,
was sent for, and after some trouble
the gator was brought from his rest
ing place, but not until after he had
shown a disposition to contest with
the workmen the right to move him
from his bed. The alligator was full
Of life, and as he opened his long jaws.
rows Of large ugly teeth were shown.
An examination disclosed a mark upon
the top of his head, but at the time
nothing was thought Of it. Mr.
Drummond opened communication
with the park board. and was directed
to send the alligator out to the
ing to his office, Mr.. Drummond re-
lated to those who were there what
he had discovered. 1t happened that
Mr.. Hunnicutt was present. and as he
heard the story he laid claim to the
alligator, telling Of his loss away back
in the SOS. A closer examination in
dictated that the mark on the head of
Mr.. Drummond's find might have once
been an III" The size of the alligator
and its age, as judged by Dan Cary. of
the city hall, induces the belief that
the alligator found under George
Drummond's Decatur street building
and the one that escaped from Mr..
Hunnicutt during the war between the
states are one and the same. Then
George Ware, who is well-versed in
alligator life declares that he detected
a recognition Of Mr.. Hunnicutt by the
gator when Mr.. Hunnicutt went down
on Decatur street to take look at it,

A Famous Structure.

An extremely interesting model has
recently been constructed Of Old
London Bridge for the Anglo French
Exhibition. 1t will form one of a
series Of seven which includes the
Tower of London. Cheapside, old ST.
Paurs, the Entrance to the Fleet
River. BridewelI Palace, the Strand
and Charing Cross, and lastly Old
Parliament Houses. Westminster Hall.
and the Abbey. The model measures
about nine feet long; it is constructed
in the proportion of l in 100, the whole
feet wide.
The bridge itself was designed by a
priestly architect. one Peter
chaplain of Cole Church. 1t was be-
gun in 1176 and took 33 years to COM
plete. The architect himself did not
live to see the completion Of the work.
as he died in 1905. His body was
buried in the crypt Of St. Thomas'S
Chapel. which stood on the center of
the bridge. The chapel was dedicated
to the blessed martyr, ST Thomas a
Beckett. 1t was originally a very
beautiful structure, but suffered
severely during the dissolution Of the
monasteries in the reign of Henry
VIII.
The tower, which can be seen at
one end of the bridge. formed part OF
the waterworks erected in 1852 to
supply the city with water in case of
fire. The pumping machinery was
designed by a Dutch engineer.
The old bridge stood for nearly $50
years. 1t seems a vast pity that Sucl,
an interesting structure could not
have been preserved by the widening
of its arches, but owing chiefly to the
complaints of the watermen as to the
danger and loss of life which actually
occurred in navigating its arches the
last remains of the old bridge. which
had stood full many a flood. were
finally removed during the early years
of the last century.
The old bridge had always been
characterized by the tremendous swirl
of water between it's narrow arches.
and in the year 1716 as the result Of Il
severe drought, this effect completely
vanished, the bed Of the Thames being
exposed, many persons being able to
cross the river on foot above and be-
low the bridge. This curious state of
affairs was due considerably to gale
of wind from the southwest and
lasted only for about "a hours Many
valuable curiositieS were picked up in
the bed of the river during this
strange interlude.
The church of St. Michael in
Crooked lane. which is shown in the
print reproduced here. was taken
down to make way for the main APP
proaches of the 1924 bridge.
One of the last fires which broke
out on the old London bridge took
place on September S, 1T25. on the
Southwark end of the structure. 1t
damaged the old bridge gate so much
that that part was taken down In 1925
and rebuilt in stone. With the re-
moval of the old gate the custom OF
exposing traitors heads was discon-
tinued.-London Sphere.

The Kentucky Deadlock.

When the legislature of any state
finds itself deadlocked in its attempt
to elect a United States senator. the
situation never fails to attrac. general
attention throughout the country, part
" because the election Of senator is
something which interests the whole
country as we'll as the state most di
rectly concerned, and partly because
there are always interesting and some
times exciting circumstances connected
with the deadlock. There have been
many OF them in recent years. but now
that the Rhode Island deadlock has
been broken after many months. the
Kentucky deadlock holds the stage
alone There the Democrats hold the
legislature by a. very small majority
but they are not united upon cx-t,ov-
ernor Beckham who fell heir to Goe-
beis office and machine and who re-
ceived q majority of the votes at the
Democratic primaries. A few of the
Democrats are opposed to Bccllhar,
and have thus far refused to vote for
nm In spite of the great amount of
pressure brought to bear upon them.
This leaves Beckham several votes
short of the majority and unless these
few Democrats can be won over To hin:
the deadlock must continue indefinite
ly or some other Democrat than
Bechaiu must be united upon. OF
course there is the alternative that the
anti Beckham Democrats may vote
with the Republicans.
The opponents of Beckham, of whom
the Louisville Courier-Journal is The
mouthpiece, charges that the primary
election was conducted in fraudulent
fashion and therefore is not binding
