Was Queen Elizabeth, England's great
est ruler, man? Bran Stoker, the well
known English author, has collected q
mass of interesting evidence and docu-
! ments tending to show that she was
His discoveries are contained in a book
entitled Famous Impostors."
Mr. Stokes was led to investigate this
subject by hearing an ancient tradition,
which had existed and been generally ac-
Cepted by the natives of BisIey ever since
the supposed Elizabeth lived among
them. Bisley is a little isolated village
among the Cotswold hills, in the west
of England, where Elizabeth lived during
her youth. The house in which she
lived. overcourt Manor. is to-day pre-
served in virtually the same condition as
when she lived in il. A little stone cof-
fin still stands in the garden, in which
it is said the real Princess Elizabeth was
buried
The tradition is that about the year
1540, when the real Princess Elizabeth
was seven years old, she was taken i'll
with fever and died. King Henry VIII,
the terrible bluff King Hail. was about
to arrive on a visit Nobody dared to
cause him displeasure. Too often it meant
the headsman's ak for the offender The
princess governess, Mistress Ashley. de-
cided to provide a substitute for the
dead child. Thefonly one she could find
was a boy of the same age. The king
paid brief visit and was satisfied.
Examined All Facts.
As the changeling grew up he made
every effort to keep up the deception
which had been practiced. for II he had
been exposed he would have lost his
head He succeeded in becoming one
OF the greatest sovereigns of history Mr.
Stoker has examined nearly all the rec

none that disprove the tradition and
many that confirm It. The facts that
tend 10 support the theory that Eliza

Mistress Ashley, and her "cofterer." Sir
Thomas Parry. 2. Her refusal to get
married, despite the fact that the most

Washington, the City Of Magnificent
Distances" and washington, the Cit
Beautiful" are two appeilations whict
residents Of the Capital City have beer
wont to apply to their home for years
past but there are comparatively few OF
the local citizens who begin to realize
the true beauties of the Nations Capital
both natural and artificial-and it often
times remains for visitors from some
other city to point out to US that some
Of the really beautiful scenery of the
East lies right at our doors
This may sound like a boost for some
of the outlying hills of the Aneghenies
or the scenic wonders of the Lu:ay- Caves.
but it isn't a boost it is-but for some
scenery much nearer home. scenery which
rivals that of any other along the Eastern
coast: scenery which although not bold
and rugged is at least beautiful in its
coloring, its harmony, it's repose, and its
general effect.
This, oh, citizen of the Nations Capital,
is to be found in our own Rock Greek
Park, and il the plans of the Washington
Society of Fine Arts are carried out the
natural beauties of the park will be i'm
proved further until washington's mark
Will rival the most famous parks in the
world. ...,s--
For years past art-loving citizens of
the District-to say nothing of those resi-
dents or other cities who, from time
10 time, sojourn in this city-have been
ag1tating the subject of the beautifica-
ton OF the Rock Creek Valley. 1t was
seen that here was splendid opportu-
nifty TO Improve scenery which Dame Ma
ture herself made lovely. But time went
on and little was done to improve the
park and much was done to spoil its
natural beauty. Ashes were dumped in
the valley; tin cans, paper, and rags
Uttered the embanlments, and filth of All
kinds accumulated near the creek.
Begin with Bridges.
This was the condition of affairs when
the first real steps were taken toward
the Identification and reclamation. os the
park some fifteen years ago. But it was
not until the latter part OF 1895 that the
money was appropriated for the erection
over Rock Greek of the first of a series
or semi-rustic bridges which have done
SO much to beautify the strip of land
lying along this winding stream |
The nrst OF these bridges so admired bv /
all visitors to this city, was the one /
crossing the creek on Beach drive. To /
reach 1t one starts out Park road to i
the west and where the Pierce Mil road /
crosses the Klingie road keep to the left |
down the latter thoroughfare until Beach i
drive is reached. This drive. one of the
finest bits OF roadway in the park. is OF /
Itself work OF art. Winding as It does
near the course of the creek, il Is a verb
table bower OF shrubbery which In the
spring and fan is particularly beautiful. 4
A short distance Gown this drive the
crosses the creek, and here one
encounters the little bridge. a gem in the I
woods. fitting admirably into its forest
The work Of constructing
this bridge, the first OF the series Of
structures OF this kind in the park. was
commenced in November, 1900. and COM
pleted year later. II Is constructed OF
1ncoursed ashIar granite and has span I
of twenty-four feet and q roadway of /,

ORAfTlHG M our SCHOOLS

Drafting, as carried on.has been
criticised mainly from two view
points. that OF expense and that Of
time being spent more probably.
The simple rule draft. as It has
been worked out satisfactorily for
use 70 schools. has largely done away
with the first. Now the only expense
for pattern making is that necessary
to obtain supply of yard sticks,
tape measures and drafting paper
c.'here is still question as to the
adsisability Of drafting patterns in
our schools because of the time 1t
requires when there are such COM
paratiyely satisfactory commercial
patterns on the market at reason
allie cost
The drafting OF pattern gives
one better idea of pattern and
what 1t represents than the use of
| many sale patterns, as Ia most c--s-
with the amateur II the descriptions
| and guide chart are lost the pate n
Is ueaninfless. II one understands
a pattern, then variations of It can
be made and one pattern may be
made to serve for many different

naturally follows that the commercial
patterns can be used VITA greater

SIRYCRRRE POISON
ING IN DgGS

When the house dog comes home,
acting very strangely and frothy sa-
Iva driyeling from the mouth, there
cred. Most people think first of
rabies and secondly of poisoning.
Since both are very common the gem
eral public should be enlightened in
regard to them.
Rabies cannot be easily diagnosed,
but strychnine poisoning should be
readily recognized by anyone.
The first symptoms of strychnine
poisoning appear in from fifteen to
sixty minutes after the drug has been
administered, if it is carefully hid
den in a large piece of meat it may
be an hour or more before any symp-
toms appear.
At first the animal acts extremely
nervous, it cannot stand still and
constantly lifts its feet as If the
floor were hot. Rapidly the muscles
become stiff and the dog assumes
position resembling saw-buck, next
spasms appear and last for few sec
onds, then the muscles will partially
relax and the animal will be able to
breathe more freely.
Spasms will recur more and more
frequently until death results
What can the owner do for the
patient until the doctor arrives? In
he first place, do not waste valuable
time trying home remedies before
calling professional aid. Minutes are
precious in cases of strychnine pois-
oning.
Lard, cream and all such agents
are absolutely OF no value and the
animal is only annoyed by attempts
to administer them. The only house
hold remedy that can be OF value Is
mustard, and it is ordinarily too
slow in action to accomplish any
good. A teaspoonful in a cup Of
water may be given by means OF a
table spoon. Other remedies are
useless and are consequently worse
than nothing. The doctor can produce
vomiting in less than fifteen minutez
or wash out the entire intestinai
tract
There is no danger of the animal
biting and absolute quiet is good
treatment.

Denver. COLO. Oct. 10. 1s1i E. 3.
Field, President OF The Mountain
states Telephone and Telegraph com
pany. this afternoon made public the
special report Of the stockholders
promised them at the time Of the
merger Of The Colorado Telephone
company. the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company and The Tri-
State Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, into The Mountain States Tel
ephone and Telegraph company. dur
ing July.
In financial circles the report Is
commented upon as being the most
openly frank statement of the finan-
cial condition OF his company. his
present policy and future plans, ever
given to the public by a corporation
head, However, 1; is said by those In
terested In financial affairs that Pres
ident Field has pursued this method
for years. method In many respects
unique among those employed by the
larger public utilities.
President Field recites a brief his
tory Of each of the merged COM
panies. and ont of this he deduces
what seems to be logical reasons for
combining the several companies both
from the standpoint OF economic OPP
Grafton and administration. and from
the standpoint of more efficient and
universal service to the people Of this
entire Mountain Region.
The report includes balance
sheet showing the result Of the first
months business. August. to which
Mr.. Field points with considerable
pride. II shows that nothwithstanding
the expenses Of maintaining a dupli-
cate executive force, and an abnormal
expense for clerical needs in combin-
ing the accounting systems Of the
several companies, the first months
earnings not only met the actual div
idend requirement. but they yielded 4
safe margin over that figure.
Having thus justified the merger
from the standpoint OF the sharehold-
ers. President Field refers to trip
OF inspection which he recently made
through the states served by his COM
pany. He says that throughout Utah.
Idaho. Wyoming. and Montana. there
are communities clamoring for teie-
Phone service; that he was Impress
ed with the necessity of meeting
these needs. and that he wac assured
OF the cooperation OF sound. conserv-
atiye, financial men along those lines.
He therefore concludes:
Our Company has Its duty to the
public coordinate with it's obligations
to the investor. and It is to carry out
this duty that have recommended
the issue and sale of $4,000 900 of our
treasury stock for the purpose OF
meeting these demands for addition

SMUGGLING
THROUGH MAILS
SINCE THE REVENUE COLLECT
oRs BECAME ALERT THE SNUG
GLERs ARE USING THE MAILS
TO BEAT UNCLE SAM.
Special TO The Journal.

New York, July 15.-Collector of the
Port Loeb has discovered that since he
got after the professional smugglers
who have been getting goods past the
custom lines by means of double bot
toned and So called sleeper" trunks,
there has been a noticeable increase of
the foreign malls coming here.
An investigation into the character
of the mail, recently instituted, indi-
Gates that an extensive and apparently
organized system Of smuggling is being
employed to defraud the government
by means Of the parcels post. as well
as through the ordinary mail. Valu-
able laces, Jewels and trinkets are
being brought in through this channel,
some Of the packages being represented
as non-dutiable goods and others
grossly undervalued. In the hope of
checking the new practice, by which
it is estimated the government has
been deprived of large revenues, the
collector has given orders for a closer
scrutiny of all mail matter coming to
this port
