Refused British titles.

A long list might be compiled of men
who refused titles. Gladstone, of
course, is the best known instance,
but there are many others. Carlyle re-
fused the grand cross of the Bath. In
1857 Palmerston wanted to make the
Marquis of I.ansdowne a duke. but
1.-THE Nestor of the Wings" declined the
honor on the ground that he was too
old to change his rank According to
Henry Greyil1e, the same plea of old
age was advanced by the Duke of
Grafton when offered vacant garter
in 1884 1t was an honor he had long
coveted, but it would be waste of
money for a man to pay fees amount
ing to nearly E1,0O0 for decoration
which he could not live long to enjoy"
Two distinguished historians, Grote
and HaIlam, refused baronetcies, and
the same honor was declined by Watts,
the painter, in 1885. Lord Beaeons-
field found in his time that there were
those who were disappointed with the
mere rank of knight bachelor. But,
as Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff's diary
records, he had the answer for one
member Of his party who ventured to
complain of insufficient recognition. 81

would have 20 undergo the treatment
Of having their feathers plucked from

packed and taken 20 town and sold

twenty cents per pound and there
we're always plenty Of buyers as
feather beds were used almost OK
