time, the entire pond had started for
Lake Memphremagog, % miles away.
Spencer Chamberlain ran to the mill
and gave warning there and The news
was carried down the valley by 9TH

which is said to weigh at least 100
tons was moved several rods.

King Edwards Spaniel
THE late King Edward owned toy span
l lei of which he was extraordinarily fond.
Wherever the King went, there went the
dog, travelling in hamper lined with silk and
cared for by a valet who had no other duties.
Two years ago, when the King and his dog
were making one of their periodical visits to
Paris, he sent for Cartier, the noted jeweler
and gem expert who had served his Majesty
for MANY years. Cartier, as was his custom
when he happened to have anything particu-
larry fine in gems. brought for the Kings in
spection magnificent blue diamond, un-
usual in size and unique in shape.
What is the price?" asked the King
lone hundred thousand francs, your Maj
esty," came the answer.
II can't afford it just now" remarked the
King regretfully. Another time. perhaps. :"
The following summer the King was again
in Paris, again sent for Cartier, and again
asked to see the blue diamond, which he an
nounced himself as ready to buy.
Il regret to inform your Majesty that the
diamond has been sold" said the jeweler. 81
disposed of it to an American lady only fort
night ago, and, strangely enough, she happens
to be staying at present in this very hotel. y
That afternoon the American, a young
and beautiful widow, received an invitation
to dine the following evening with the King,
the invitation being accompanied by an in
tmation that his Majesty would be pleased
to have her wear the blue diamond she had
recently purchased.
Back came message that, owing to the
recent death of her husband and being con-
sequently in heavy mourning. she would be
unable to accept the royal invitation; but
took pleasure in sending the diamond in
which the King had expressed an interest
| for his examination.
The following morning one of the royal
euuerries called at tie apartments Of the
| fair American and presented her with the
case containing her jewel, a wicker basket,
and letter from the King.
"You have been SO courteous" wrote the
King, as to lend me that which you doubt
less prize more than any other of your pos
sessions; permit me to return the compli-
ment by lending to you for few hours that
which | consider the most precious of my
possessions"

LOCAL OPTION MAJORITY
IS OVER THREE THOUSAND

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 10.-With
three-fourths of the. state reported.
the majority against the proposed con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting the
sale Of intoxicating liquors in Florida
is 3,204. This will probably be In
creased rather than diminished, as
many Of the counties now under prohi-
bition secured through the local op-
ton law, which were expected to give
heavy majorities for the amendment,
are giving majorities against 1t.
Pleasant A. Holt. manager of the
local option campaign, claims that the
amendment will be defeated by a ma
jority of $500. c. L. Collins, manager
OF the prohibition campaign, is not
giving any figures, but is talking Of
contesting the election, which is equiv
alent to a concession OF defeat on the
face Of the returns.
The total vote will be the largest in
the history of the state. exceeding
$4,000. The one-fourth vote not re-
ported is in sections not easily reach
ed by telegraph and will probably not
be reported in full for several days.
