The staff numbered abou! $40 men with four heavy and twelve light two and four wheeled ambu. lances to each division.

'acnratIOnS fr" Kings COl OndIi0n
 Spoiled By Rains

CBy Charles P. stewart. London Cor
 respondent of the United Press.-
 London, June 19-Two days of tor rential showers have worked untold havoc in London's decorations for the coronation of King George and Queen Mary, on Thursday. Bunting, flags and pennants, except those of the best grades are. today, nothing but smears. and will have to be replaced unless they are to be functional distraction from the decoration of the process sional route.
 The rains, however have had no in- fluence on the crowds which have flocked to the city until the streets are almost impossible.
 The visiting nine envoys arrived to- day and the crowd to meet them was so large that reserves were ordered out Today's arrivals included 20 princes and princesses who brought with them large retinueS and moun- tains of baggage.
 That the coronation crowds are go- ing to furnish a rich harvest for pick pockets and other crooks was clearly manifested, today, by the number of complaints made to the police. So far the police have given most attention to those who might be suspected of designs on the royalties to the end that the lesser criminals have had full sway. Political exiles and home grown agitators are under the closest pOssi- ble surveillance. Many have been ar rested on bogus charges and kept con- fined until the departure of the royal visitors.

SLAVE HE SAVED IS
 BURIED AT'HIS FEET
Colonel of Connecticut Regi- ment Followed by Faithful
 Servitor to Last Resting Place

New York, June 19.-In a lively engagement in Virginia during the Civil War a Connecticut regiment commanded by Colonel Thomas Willes, then of Hartford, defeated some Con federates and took, among the1r prls- oners, a dozen or more negro slaves. The Union soldiers, hasten1ng the slaves toward a stockade prisons beat one who was walking lame:
 Hold on, sir!" exclaimed Colonel Willes. sIet that black fellow alone" " And he brushed away non- commls- stoned officer who was striking the negro. The colonel put the slave, Henry Green, on his own horse ana took him to the prison.
 Not long afterward came the eno enc of the war. 'Marse Colonel" the black man-then young and strong pleaded, 'Iet me go wifi yo' all, let me stay Tong wifi yo' de rest O nah life.''
 The Colonel was rich. A servant more or less made no differ lie took Henry Green to the North, and ever since. both in Hartford and in East Orange, where the old warrior lived the negro was his personal bodyguard and butler.
 Three years ago the Colonel died In his will he directed that Henry Green, SO long as he lived, should be "And when I die-and when my man Henry dies" he went on, T want his body buried crosswise at the foot of my grave"
 Henry died last week. The other negro servants declare he said, at the last: "Marse Colonel, I'se cominss-"
 Yesterday Henry Green was buried crosswise, at the feet of Marse Colonel Thomas Willes, in the Hartford ceme- tery.

The Horrors of Thirst,

In the oasis of Mogara, says L. Dow Covington in the Wide World Maga- zine, we had a first experience of the desert travellers great enemy-thirst We were seated in front of Bedouin chiefs tent. our two baby camels en- toying their first drink of water since they had left Cairo, when, from across a sand dune, a Bedouin came stagger- ing and tottering toward us. His eyes were bloodshot, his lips twice their ma tural size. while his tongue, blue and dry, hung out of his mouth. Evidently he had lost himself, had wandered around for days in search of water and had stumbled upon the oasis in the very nick of time. To allow him to drink would have been his death. In spite of his frantic struggles, he was held by four men. while fifth allowed a few drops of water to hickle down his throat It was as though he were a redhot boiler which would have to be allowed to cool off before being filled if an accident was to be avoided.

THE STOCK MARKET
Watson Alpers S CoA

For our part, it is difficult to see how significance of recent events can fail to filter into any but the most obtuse consciousness. To recall a few, we have had the final clearing up of the trust question through the Su- preme Court decisions, the practical surety of the biggest crops in years, a growing international trade balance with its consequent large credits in Europe, easy money at home, read justment of steel prices that has un- questionably stimulated business, an improving copper trade and a growth in the absorptive capacity of the in- vestment market, which, furnishing as 1t does, encouragement for the financ- ing of capital needs, points to the ex- pansion of constructive enterprise. These facts are basic and it is because they are. and because stock market sentiment already indicates it. that we look for an increase in speculative public interest in securities in the near future and for broad and active trad ing during the summer months. if not

Objected to Publicity

Old Brother Brown had been ap- preached several times by the colored deacons of his church and asked to pay his church dues. He had prom ised to ''pay up" just as soon as he sold a calf which he owned. Several months later he sold the calf. The next Sunday morning at service the con- gregation sang the old familiar hymn:
 The half has never been told
 Of life so full and free
 Brother Brown, somewhat deaf and conscious of his failure to pay his dues, understood the words to be:
 The calf has never been sold,
 But when it's sold he'll pay.
 When the hymn was finished the old colored man. very indignant, arose and said:
 "Bredren and sistahs. has sold dat calf and heh's yo' ten dollahs! But didn't ca about de whole clutch sing in about it."-National Monthly.

A Costly Tuft of Feathers.

On the apex of the crown worn by the Prince of Wales on special occa sions is curious feather. or. rather. tuft of feathers. the top of which is adorned with a gold thread. The value of this feather is estimated at $500 and it has the distinction of being the only one of it's kind in human posses sion. Twenty years passed after the first hunter set out to procure the feather before it was attained, and during that period more than dozen hunters had lost their lives in the quest The costly tuft is of periwsG feathers. and the extraordinary dan ger incurred in procuring it was due to the fact that the periwak, for some unknown reason. is to be found only in dense jungles in which tigers make their lair.-Chicago Tribune.

Turning tho Turtle

Turtle hunting is not without ex- citement The method of capture con sists of the simple act of turning the turtle on its back. Once in this posi- ton it is quite helpless. Its only de fense is to cover its captor with sand thrown up by the powerful front legs or fippers. These are brought into action in an instant. and woe betide the captor who has his eyes and mouth open at the moment. for the sand is hurled with great force. When turned over the captive is dragged up the beach to above high water mark. and this is no easy task. for it weighs about four hundredweight-
