THE DUKE OF CORNWALL
AND HIS RICH DUCHY
Interesting Facts About the
Hereditary Title

The prince and princess of Wales
have started their tour through the
duchy of Cornwall under the happiest
auspices. 1t may be that not every one,
even among those who are tenants, of
the royal lord of the duchy, knows
much about its history The appenage,
we read in an interesting article in
Country Home was created in 1887
in favor of the black prince. 1t is
hereditary and enjoyed by the eldest
son of the reigning monarch. Unlike
the title of prince of Wales which is
conferred by the king at his discretion
and pleasure, the dukedom of Cornwall
is birthright.
A half brother of William the Con-
aueror, Robert, was the first earl of
Cornwall. The conquering king be-
slowed nearly the whole of the coun-
try on his relative, but it was not till
the reign of Edward III that the es-
tates and title were raised to the dig
nifty of a duchy.
The estates held under the duchy, the
article tells US, seem to have been
more or less neglected until the reign
Of James I, who appears to have taken
the matter in hand and improved their
general status. With the growth of
years the values have appreciated, un-
til at the present time the annual in
come of the duke of Cornwall from
these possessions amounts to some
thing like $3.50, 50,0O0.-Westmins Re-

HOW DOG TEAM TAKES
MAIL OVER SNOWDRIFTS
Unique Sight for Stranger at
the 500

One of the unique sights to stranger
at the 500 is the fine dog team used by
Captain Mathews of the local post Office
force in the delivery of the United
States mail.
Captain Mathews has a route covering
approximately 20 miles, and with the
team usually covers this distance every
day. The route lies along the 500
river from the postoffice in the heart
Neaseville, or more POLITICALLY, after
an old Indian tribe, Algonquin.
Sometimes the roads are drifted with
snow so that it is almost impossible to
get through, but up to the present time
the big dogs have proved themselves
equal to any emergency. In pleasant
weather and binding snowstorms alike
the team has trotted on its way for the
last five winters and seems good for
many more.
The dogs are named Spike and
Bounce, and are almost identical in size,
shape, weight and color. They are as
large as Shetland ponies and weigh
over $50 pounds each. They are St
Bernard and Newfoundland Captain
Mathews bitches them side by side to a
specially constructed sleigh large
enough to hold himself, another pas
senger and the mail. In fact it will
hold many more, as observing persons
have noticed when the captain leaves
for the city every morning. Then there
is always a merry crowd of perhaps 10
or a dozen school children crowded
about the captain in the sleigh and
hanging to it from all sides.
Spike and Bounce are fed on corn
meal and suet baked in cakes and
served piping hot on the snow, with
occasionally little meat but only at
rare intervals and in small quantities,
as the captain has found the team works
better on the simpler Diet The dogs
are years old and have been making
the mail route every day during the
winter for the last five years.-Detroit

BRITISH PAUPER CAN
GET OLD AGE PENSION
Local Government Beard Rem
ders Interesting Decision

An. important decision concerning old
age pensions comes from Lesmaha gov
A pensioners friend wrote to the par
ish council inquiring if, in the event OF
the pensioner being received into the
poorhouse, they could pay the difference
between the pension and the cost of his
keep, so that the pensioner might not
be chargeable to the poor roll. The
local government board, to whom the
matter was referred, have now issued
the following decision: That where
the pensioner, as in the present case,
has authorized the inspector of poor to
uplift his pension of 5s per week for
his maintenance in the poorhouse and
the difference of 10d in the board is to
be repaid by his sons, the parish coun-
ell is entitled to apply the old age pen
sion toward his maintenance in the
poorhouse, and that the fact of pen
sioner becoming an inmate of the poor
house on the above conditions will not
disqualify him from continuing to re-
ceive an old age pension.-London

1t might do well on the baseball field,
But it's quite another matter
When you are a hungry elephant
To play for the blooming batter.

Little Mike, the pachyderm pantry,
celebrated his arrival at the Chutes
yesterday morning with a feast that
would make the banquet of Nero look
like ''handout.7
The diminutive Michael is one of the
three trained performers which made
their debut yesterday in Fillmore

Der of the troupe They arrived at
the grounds about o'clock in the
morning and were installed in a pen
adjoining the waffle booth. That was
unfortunate. for petit Michel played
for the batter Immediately.
1t was waffle batter that took Miques
fancy.
The last thing that the waffle cooks
did Saturday night was to stir up bat
ter for 500 prospective waffles. Their
plan was to change the sweetly sea-
soned fluid by the application of the
alchemy of heat into corrugated in
terror decorations for hungry shooters
of chutes and other huntsmen. But
they did not count on Michaelette.
Michael, the small, was hungry after
his arrival, so he stuck his trunk
around in an acquisitive way and soon
ran it into the batter pans. The warm
compound 1elt good TO MS touch he
scooped up a trunk full and slipped 1t
down his gullet. 1t went easily.
Other trunkfuls followed. Soon the
500 portions of waff1es looked like 60
cents cut both ways.
1T would have been better" sighed
the tiny Mique, had it been cooked
and served with maple syrup; but this
is a bad hour to get anything except
highballs. I'll let 1t go at that"
From the empty waffle pans the baby
elephant turned to a broad compart-
ment and took all the rolls which were
to have been served with frankfurters.
There were 917 of them. Then, to make
sure that the damage he had done
could not be rectified, Little Mike stuck
his trunk into the -four bin and tall
cumed himself with the white powder
of the wheat until he looked like a
dome of alabaster.

DESERTIONS FROM FRENCH

1t is impossible to journey far in

sign and coloring of the church pageant

nificance, fer the ship sailing through
stormy waters is the ancient symbol
for the church. On the sail is the red
cross of st. George, showing its nation
ality. The banners in the bows and
stern are the armorial bearings of
Canterbury and York st. George. in

with his hand on the tiller, showing
that the church is always going. for

roses. In front of the shield are three
golden leopards-the shield of the king

BIG HATS TO BLAME FOR
HITCH IN BOAT LAUNCHING
Amusing Logic of Paris Com
temporary

A Paris contemporary in an amusing
note and with a singular process OF
reasoning comes to the conclusion that
if the failure to launch the "Danton
is not due to sabotage we must en- :
deavor to trace the mischief to the
larger hats now to be seen in the thea
ters.
1t seems that Danton on one occa-
sion caused a turbulent scene in thea
ter by refusing to uncover. In the end
Danton and his friends were removed
SO the explanation of the writer comes
to this: AS Danton with his hat caused
trouble at the theater, SO conversely
the hats at the theater today may be
responsible for the trouble with the
"Danton.''
The theory is ingenious if not con-
vincing.-London Globe.
