She Got the Trunk

An actress playing in one of our
uptown theaters has a reputation for
eccentricity. She carries with her
wherever she goes rag doll, which
she has named Peggy and which she
looks upon as mascot. She has re-
ceptions for Peggy. which are made
SO interesting and enjoyable for those
who accept invitations to them that
few of the invited guests decline to at
tend.
Upon arriving in New York, after
her summer vacation the actress found
that her trunk containing Peggy,
which had been sent on in advance.
had not arrived. She telephoned the
fact to the express Office, and kept
on telephoning as the minutes passed,
and the missing trunk failed to ap-
pear.
AT length voice, apparently that OF
an irate official at the other end of
the wire exclaimed:
There is no use OF your continuing
to telephone us about your trunk,
madam. 1t is here, we have seen 1t.
and 1t will be forwarded to you in the
course of the morning."
Good heavens, mani cried the &C.

Sounds expressive of CONSERVATION
were heard by the lady holding the

family, but in less time than 1t takes

flies and consequent decrease in the
menace of typhoid fever, for the re.

From the ratio of cars now in use II
is estimated that with an average of

ito 1895 there were 70 automobiles In
the United States. valued at S157.500.
In 1904, 10000 cars were built ri an
average price Of $4,000. In 1908, 55.-
900 cars were built, and the output for
this year will be close to 81. 900. at an
average price Of $3.50. The estimates

MS first wife, SO now the younger.
.prettler Jane Seymour won Henry
from Anne, and by much the same
methods. Henry, infatuated with Jane,
discovered he was heartily tired of
Anne. Those double thumbs at last
began to outweigh her good looks. He
sought some plausible way to get rid
OF her. Courtiers helped him out by
trump1ng up accusations against Anne.
Among other crimes she was accused
OF treason. There is no reason for be-
ileving her guilty on any of the
One Queen. charges. But she
pmn;shs... was condemned to
s"s"s' death. Plucky to
the last, she wrote mockingly to the
king, thanking him for all he had done
for her, and ending with the words:
"You made me marchioness. then a
queen. And as you can raise me no
higher in the world, you are now
sending me to be saint in heaven"
Whether or not she was accurate in
this prophecy as to her destination.
she was beheaded on May 10. 1896.
Henry took great credit to himself for
mercifully allowing her to be thus ex.
ecuted, instead of burning her at the
stake. The next day he married Jane
Seymour.
Jane did not live long to enjoy her
triumph. After she died Henry mar.
rled in quick succession three more
wives. His good luck, his health, his
personality-some think even his san.
lty as well-had deserted him from
the day he cast aside Catherine of Ar.
agon to marry Anne Boleyn.
