An Accidental Earl
Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
 The Earl of Devon owes his earldom to the chance observation of an alert law yer. For nearly 300 years the title was left unclaimed, and so little did it's right full heirs, the Courtenays of Powderham castle, know of its existence that Sic William Courtenay, who was in reality Earl of Devon, sought and obtained from George III, a simple yisconntcy. In the lifetime of the third viscount Courtenay. however, happy thing happened for the family of which he was the head.
 Sir Harris Nicholas one If the frss genealogical authorities in the land, came across the patent of the earldom Of Devon by chance when peruslng some old records, and he found on glancing through it that two Latin words usually inserted in patents had been omitted in his case. It may have been the merest accident, but 1t was an accident of weighty import, for it meant that the earldom could descend upon collateral heirs, which meant that the then Vis- count Courtenay was ninth Earl of De. von.

Julia Ward Howe at Home rom the National Magazine.

T
 What sweetly sad memories are awak- ened of my last visit to Julia Ward Howe at her Beacon street home in Bos- tor. It was approaching her natal day in May. and all the floral charm of the public gardens and green of the cid com mon seemed abloom as we found our way to the home of Americas uncrowned queen. In the reception room on the second floor, while waiting, we were startled when tiny elevator descended from the ceiling, from which, unattend- ed. Julia Ward Howe stepped forth and closed the door in her positive little way as I approached to lend my arm and to lead her to the little white chair toward the window. The impulse to kneel and kiss her hand in veneration could not be restrained.
 Her bright blue eyes sparkled under the little lace cap and her cheeks flushed as she told us of her girlhood days in New York, and her wit and humor in dis cussing the events of the passing day, although she was then past her 90th birthday, seemed almost supernatural. She repeated for us the story of her first and only meeting with Lincoln, and her eyes mpistened as she spoke of the sad expression in the Presidents eyes that made his homely face handsome

Vandalism
Hi. Billyl Look herer'

Hi, Bfllyl Look here!
 The noise came from around the corner cf my neighbours grounds, and presuma- ply it was Billy who responded:
 Gee! Aint it fun? Look at my Rob sinson Crusoe tracks And see what Nellie has done."
 My neighbor was putting down ce- nent walks. The workmen had just com pleted portion of the job and upon quitting for the day covered tke soft mas- tcrial with boards.
 As l emerged on the scene a gang of predatory youngsters fled down the street. They had taken off the boards and were making all sorts of impressions jn the smooth top surface of the ce- ment.
 Next morning, of course, either the work must be done over or the marks would remain in the concrete so long as -he sidewalk should last.
 Which is a species of vandalism all too common.
 A man of my acquaintance temporarily turned over the use of a square of ground for public purposes. intending 1T lbe people showed appreciation to deed 1t to the city.
 He provided benches for the little park. In one short summer the benches were so carved and whittled and mutilated as 70 be useless. In his anger the man sold the plot of ground for building purposes. for doing which he could scarcely be blamed.
 Why such disregard of public and pri vate property?
 Who has not seen ad nauseam initials, names, sentences, emblems, dates, grayen ,and carved and written in public places, 10 say nothing of that species of black guardian that writes suggestive or ob- scene words?
 When a boy my father cured me of any propensity to write my name or ini-

Locking Backward

Looking BackW8ru No you remember the legend about
 that ancient Greek from whom Az Apollo took the backward look ing mind?
 All things became new to the Greek. The world was transformed.
 For the first time he saw the beauty of the earth The sunshine was brighter than before; the birds sang more sweet ly; the changing seasons filled him with delight. Flowers he had not seen Lloomed beneath his feet and new stars shone over his head.
 Why the change?
 IT was not in the earth. It remained the same. It was iH the Greek. His mint had been turned forever backward to the happiness of the pas-. but now. looking outward and forward, he saw the joy and the beauty that was about him.
