DESCRIPTIVE LETTER FROM an
ARMADA BOY TOURING ENGLAND
Telling of the Scenery, Customs and
Many Other Interesting Features
OF That Country.

London! Why, the very name
makes me start; a welcome sound
to my ear. We have all read Of
London, seen pictures Of London
and heard people talk about Lon
don, but seeing is believing. AL
though | am seeing London, |
find it very difficult to force any
adequate conception of its big
ness, of its greatness, Of its var
iety. Variety, yes indeed, one
can find everything here. If he
is interested in social and eco
nomic problems, let him study
the miserable, blood thirsty poor
of the East End and the rich, ar
rogant dwellers in the West End
If he is a lover of music, let him
90 to the Albert hall, the Queens
hall and the opera houses where
he will hear the great artists in
concert and in opera. If per-
chance he is interested in politics,
send him to the Houses of Parlia-
ment to hear the debates in the
Houses of Lords and Commons.
If he is a student of architecture,
in London he will find many
styles, classical, gothic, renais-
sance, tudor, Elizabethan and
the many happy combinations of
the various schools. If he is a
lime-light enthusiast, send him
to the scores of opera houses,
theatres, music halls and cine
matografs. If he is in love with
natures charms, let him go out
to Windsor, to Kew Gardens, to
Hyde Park, toHampton Court, etc.
If it is church of great historic
interest or OF great beauty in
architecture and adornment, di-
rect him to Westminster Abbey,
St. PaullsCathedral, JohnWesley's
church, Brompton Oratory, or the
modern Roman Catholic Cathe-
dral, said to be the finest church

Much praise is due Mrs. San
derson for the beautiful way in
which she so hospitality enter
tained the Ladies Aid, Thursday
afternoon. Every available por-
tion of the large house with its
spacious rooms was occupied.
The musical and literary program
consisted of the following num-
bers: Two vocal selections by Mrs.
Hobson, reading by Mrs. Doughty,
Instrumental music byMrs. Fields,
Mrs. Cook and Misses GladysSan-
derson, Margaret Rodda and Ma
belSegelke, Heavenly Sunlight"
was very creditably sung by little
Miss Leona Rice; the two young
ladies who recited showed great
skill in the art of elocution, Miss
Marguerite Mollet recited Loeb
invar's Ride" and Miss LelaBuck,
Gone With a Handsomer Man. "
Another drawing feature of the
occasion was the ten cent tea
served by Mesdames Frey, Hob
son, Greene and Horton.

built for centuries. His craving
for art may be appeased by a
visit to the National Gallery, the
Tate Gallery, the Wallace Collec-
ton, etc. In the great British
Museum he can find enough to
keep him busy for years. Of
course he will be anxious to see
Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly, the
Strand, Cleopatra sNeedle on the
Embankment, London Bridge, the
Tower of London, the Crystal
Palace, Buckingham and St.
James Palaces, The Bank Of
England, the great London hos
pitals, the Albert Memorial and
hall, Surgeons Tabernacle, the
old Guildhall, the Geological Gar
dens, ETC., etc., etc.
1t is difficult for me to know
just where to begin my letter, so
| think | will begin at the begin
ming, quite a natural mode of
procedure. | will first describe
the delightful place where | am
living with my cousin, a church
Of England clergyman. The
name Holly Village brings to
ones mind a rural scene and yet
one hardly associates country
life with a London picture. AL
though we are within four miles
of Charing Cross, London's cen
ter, we are surrounded by great
parks and estates. One is Ken
wood, the vast estate of Grand
Duke Michael of Russia, another
is Holly Lodge, the seat Of the
late BaronessBurdette -Coutts, the
one great banking woman this
countryhas produced. Then there
is Parliament Hill of 267 acres, the
highest part of London reaching
440 feet. Here the Parliament
met during the Plague Of the
seventeenth century, as it was the
only place in London not infected.

from Scotland in 1897. Although
it is sindisputably a block of Scotch
sandstone, tradition declares it to
be the identical stone on which
Jacob rested his head and
dreamed his great dream. 1t is
just beneath the wooden seat of
the chair. 1t is twenty-six
inches long, sixteen inches wide
and eleven inches thick. In this

opened in TIA the body was
found to be six feet two inches
in length.) In later generations
it has become the last resting
place ofEngland's leading states

entists, etc. You may we'll i'm
agine the feeling of awe that
makes one almost devoutely rev.
erent. One is here in a city of
famous dead who have filled the
world with splendid renown.

School Concert.

One of the best programs Of
its kind ever held in Arvada was
that of the children's concert
held last Friday evening in the
High School building. The crowd
was large and appreciative all
the time. The only complaint
we heard from the crowd was
that each was sorry when the
program was ended. The man
ner Of response Of the children to
every sign and demand Of Prof.
johnson was remarkable; this
showed the careful training, and
speaks well for the children and
the director. The magnificent
closing Of the program with the
medley Of National Airs was in
deed inspiring. The proceeds
netted over $50.

Appearing without the slightest
warning to the guests they were great.

once that the fiery gliding objects were
merely part Of the fireworks display
which had been arranged by Manager
Tom Carroll for his guests.
This exhibit, which was called q

immense rock in the middle of the
lake and amid the surroundings Of the
wonderful scenery, and is described by
those who witnessed it as the most en-.
joyable pyrotechnic exhibit they had
ever uttnessed

The Hub and Hub race which was to

city, was found dead at his home by q
neighbor about eight O'Clock Wednes.

forehead and revolver tightly
clutched in his right hand, evidently
having committed the rash act some
time during the day.
Fischer, who was q man about sixty
years Of age, has been living on the
Horsehead for the past couple of years
and has appeared to be a thrifty, hard
working farmer. During that time,
he has attended strictly to business
and his place has every appearance OF
being we'll cared for. He was not q
drinking man. The note found on his
table though would naturally lead one
to assume that he was insane at the
time of committing the deed. It read:
II am sixty years old. have to go to
the insane asylum but can't do it,"
Coroner Marooux was notified over
the phone and taking an auto, left i'm.
mediately for the scene. The remains
mains we're brought to this city where
they we're prepared for burial at the
Marcoux morgue. An inquest was
held yesterday afternoon and the find
ings we're to the effect that he had
come to his death by his own hand.
The only known relatives Of the de-
ceased are daughter, the wife Of the
janitor at the State Home, and his wife
who has been employed at the National

Tom Watson Is Not Red Headed :;
Doesn't Wear Red Shirts

which in his youth was a light shade
of brown hating at the auburn line,
is now streaked with grey and is
somewhat bushy on the back Of his
head; he wore a yachting cap; low
collar, black bow, and his black al
paCa coat fell back and exhibited a
broad eXpanse Of white shirt front
faultlessly Numbered, with plain
gold studs; his trousers were dove
color and his hosiery matched; low
cut shoes completed the sartoriaI
fittings Of the gentleman from Geor-
gia.
Personally, Mr.. Watson is a charm
ing indiyidual; his years Of study,
writing, speaking and dealing in
public affairs have given him a store
of information upon a great variety
of subjects that he carries at his
tongues end, and it is a rare treat
to meet him. He likes to talk, and
there is no suggestion of the fire
brand; the political mOuntebank, the
crank, the hypocrit or the egOtist
about him. He has clear grey eyes,
penetrating eyes, with the lines about
them that bespeak studious habits;
they are mild eyes, but there is lat
easily imagine might gather fierce
and whitening force when aroused;
his skin is rudy with health and
still shows the retreating evidence
of a freckled bOyhood; he has
pleasing voice, hearty laugh, and
chuckles when he is we'll pleased.
No man who chuckles like that can
be a bad man. He is light on his
feet, moves with the ease and alacri-
ty that tell Of we'll preserved energy
and cheerful disposition.
Such were my impressions of Wat
son as he is to-day. His great ca
paCity for work are we'll known. Last
year when he was in the heat OF
political controversy in Georgia he
was writing pages in the daily papers
every week besides keeping up his
contributions on his weekly and
monthly publications, looking after
a VOluminous correspondence ana
carrying along his historical work.
He is writing a history of the South,
and no man is better equipped to
do it; this has been a work which
has been very dear to him for a num-
Der of years. The South and it's ira
ditions and all pertaining to it are
precious to Watson, as they are to
Vardaman, and Watterson and few
others of lesser prominence, and to
all who are born in the South and
bred of it's soil and atmosphere. The
Story of the South should be Wat
sons greatest and most enduring
work, and it is to be hoped that 1t
will be remembered for generations
after he is gathered to his Fathers
Miami (Fla.) Metropolis.
