Countess Pretty Romance.

From London Ideas.
Lady Aberdeen has just returned from
her tour in America. where she has
reused tremendous enthusiasm in favor
of her crusade against tuberculosis. So
much is heard of the energetic count
ess' philanthropic works-she has been
twice president OF the International
Womens Congress, and has organized
several cottage industries-that the light
er side Of her life is often overlooked,
but she is cha rming hostess and wears
very lovely gowns and Jewels. Five
emeralds which set in one OF her
tiaras ere said to be the largest in the
world. Lady Aberdeen's democratic
ideas have made her unpopular with a
certain class in society. and 1t was ma
whispered about Dublin, after
her arrival to take up vice-regal duties
there for the second time, that she had
her servants to dine with her once a
week, and played round games with
them afterwards! 4 pretty romance is
associated with this busy lady. A son
of the old Lord Aberdeen, youth of
twenty-five. was once riding in the
Highlands and lost his way. Worn out
himself and leading lame pony he
came to Guisachan. the Scottish home OF
Lord Tweedmouth, and asked for stabling
for his pony and guidance for himself
He was welcomed Hospitality by the fam
lily, and Ishbel. a fifteen-year-old daugh-
ter of the house. helped to entertain the
unexpected guest, who then and there
fell in love with his girlish hostess, who
nine years later was married to him.
AMI SO became Countess Of Aberdeen.

PEERAGEs AND THEIR "PAsTs. /"
Bigamous Barons and SANITY Earls
Marriages Made on Earth.

From the London Express.
A remarkable record of all noble fami-
lies. the rare Complete Peerage," by
Mr.. G. f. Cockayne. clarenceux king of
arms of the Heralds College. is to be
republished in a new edition.
The original volumes of this 'detec-
tive dossier" of the lords have been
out of print for nearly twenty years,
and genealogists have paid $50 for a
copy.
The bold and bad barons and naughty
earls who rode through history would
probably have blushed had they known
that the full story of their lives would
be published in twelve large volumes IL
I'm twentieth century.
tlarenceuN king of arms has done
his work thoroughly. His book is
perfect storehouse OF The history ana
traditions--with the skeletons in the
cupboa rds-of noble lBmilies.
The curious may here learn all about
the canoniZed earl of the fourteenth
century and the bigamous barons of
the nineteenth Here are printed the
names of the Scottish mobiles slain AT
Flodden. and the record Of how two
noble ladies were locked up In the
cage" for being drunk and disorderly.
There is one note of caution. 1T has
been thought well to exclude from this
edition any account of persons who
have become peers since the death OF
Queen Victoria" says the discreet clar-
enceux king of arms in his preface.
New peers may take breath again
after reading this. but the lives OF the
lords Of earlier days are set down with
faithful and impartial detail.
The text gives. concisely and precise
w. particulars of the parentage bir.a.
honors. orders public service. marriage
and cause of death wherever possible.
of every holder of a peerage. with COM
ments in the footnotes.
Here is one sample:
"Charles LennoXp Duke of Richmond
married December 4. 171a. at rhe
Hague Sarah. first daughter and CD
heir of Earl of Cadogan.
In a footnote some romantic details
are given of the marriage: she was
then aged but thirteen and he hut
eighteen. 1t is said the marriage was
contracted to cancel a gambling daht
between their parents.
The Complete Peerage" will be sold
in twelve volumes of about 500 pages
each. and small number will be print
ed on writing paper. so that readers
who know any further details can
write them in the margins

GREAT MAP OF LONDON.
Shows Every House in an Area Of
lis Square Miles.

From London Tit-Bits.
The valuation map of London. which is
being compiled by the surveyors of the
London county council is undoubtedly
the largest in the world. 1t was COM
menced fifteen years ago. and embraces
the whole OF the area of the metropolis.
from Stamford Hill on the north to low
err Streatham on the south. and from
Plumstead on the east to Putney on the
west
This vast area is exactly rs square
miles in extent. and the map is to in
dictate every house. shop and piece OF
property within the boundaries men,
toned. The owner Of nearly every bit
Of land has been ascertained, and up
to the present over $4,000 separate estates
have been discovered. 1t is expected that
another three or four thousand Will be
added before the work is complete.
The gigantic map is made in sections
Of twenty-five-nch ordnance sheets. the
whole work requiring 10 sections. When
it is finished and laid out with its Sec
lions in order the map will be more than
thirty feet wide and twenty feet from
top to bottom.
The whole of the work was estimated
TO cost about 913.JOO but before ii is
finished its cost will have increased to
at least G16.65O The map has already
saved the council a sum equal to about
three times it's cost
Some curious and little-known facts
about London's landlords have been
brought to light. Although the 100 acres
owned by the Duke of Westminster with
it's rent roll of e3.000.O00 a year, is the
wealtliest estate in London. IL is by no
means the largest. One estate in South
London actually covers an area Of near
iy four square miles, and there are sew
eral estates exceeding two square miles.
Other big landowners i'm London in
cludc Lord Howard de Dalden. with 292
acres and an annual rent roll OF e.,
100000. The go acres of the Duke of
Bedfords estate bring him in a yearly
income of G2.2JO,0OO. Lord Northampton
owns go acres worth 81 500, 600 year
The Duke of Norfolk is receiving E1.-
100000 for his Strand estate. Lord Port
mans 30 acres return an income OF
e1,S00000. Earl Cadogan's gO-acre es-
tate is worth G1.500,OO0 while the ecclesi-
astical commissioners receive g:D0.O00 in
ground rents from their estate i'm the
most fashionable part of Kensington.

TAFT PUTS CURB
ON CONGRESSMAN
Warning to Ambitious Poll
ticians to Keep Hands Off
the Census Buzz Saw

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-President
Taft today served notice on ambitious
members of congress that the newly
organized machinery for the taking of
the coming census is not to be utilized
for political ends.
He addressed So supervisors of the
census at the executive Office, and told
them plainly if they used their offices
or if they permitted the enumerators
directly under them TO further politi-
cal ends, he would remove them
promptly.
Many of you-most of you-have
been recommended by congressman y
said the president, and 1t may be
that some of those congressman will
come to you and expect because they
did recommend you, that you owe
them something in the way of select
ing the men as enumerators who will
help them in their congressional cleo
tions.
'fYou have got to select the men you
think will do the work, and if .you
catch them doing political work, [
wish you to remove them, just as / will
remove you if / catch you doing po-
litical work. 1t is business. 1 am not
quarreling with the congressman"
