mother had slept with her that night
and that when they heard Mr.. Stan
nard come home Mrs. Stannard got
under Elai s bed until she had a
chance to go downstairs to escape a
possible conflict with him. After Mr..
Stannard had retired, Mrs Stannard

said she wished Mrs. Stannard had
served Mr.. Stannard his breakfast that

Mrs. Stannard agreed yesterday to
have her picture and the pictures of
the children taken. All along she has
declined to be photographed. but when
ASSURED by her attorneys that it would
be all right she showed no further re-
luctance. Alvah did not like the idea
at first but his mother finally told him
that if he would not consent to sit for
a picture she would give the news

asked time to comb her hair which
was agreed to- but before she had made

the pictures will be taken today. This
will be the first picture Mrs Stannard
has had taken for sixteen years.

strongly and raised over them the
magnificent roof OF oak which is still,
extant and intact. 1t is ninety-two
feet high. The length OF the hall is
300 feet. Its breadth sixty-eight feet

to enter In order to challenge any who
would dispute the rights of the king.

as follows on the occasion Of the coro-
nation of Richard III. and Queen Anne

"In the afternoons the King and

"And then one brought him n cuppI
of wine covered. and when he had
drunk he cast out the drinke and de-
parted with the cupp. At the
end of the dinner the Mayor of Lon
don served the King and Queene with
sweete wine, and had of each of them
q cupp of gold and q cover OF gold. |
And by that time that all was done, It

While there he worked for the Union

quainted with him. While at Hancock
he became benedict, being welded
to Miss Josephine Kramer.
After going home from work last
Saturday afternoon he took his horse
out for a little exercise around the
house as was his usual custom. The
horse is quiet and gentle and had never
acted up at any time. Along the street
where Mr.. Schultz was exercising the
animal lay some dead branches of trees
and desiring to dispose of them he
stopped TO get branch when the horse
started to run. Mr.. Schultz hung onto
the halter line but when his strength
was exhausted he was compelled to
let 60 and in so doing fell PROSTATE on
his stomach. The horse stopped after
going a short distance and returned TO
the barn where Mr.. Schultz was en-
gagged in brushing him off. He felt a
little pain from the fall and went into
the home to rest. Later a doctor was
summoned. His case was not consid-
cred dangerous, but 1t appeared there
troubles which caused his |
death.
