with the evils OF private monopoly
which il denounces as indefensible
and intolerable. It is the defender
OF honest industry and enterprise and
it's policies will promote that good
healthy Industrial growth upon which
general prosperity must depend.
Young men should take their stand
with Woodrow Wilson because he is
the honest exponent of genuine pro-
gressiiveness the foe of bossism and
the champion Of policies designed 10

that when the head Of the house dies

occurred when the twelfth ViscOunt
GOTmanston died in 1860 and again in
1876, when the thirteenth visCount
shook off this mortal coil. The four
teenth holder of the title died in 1907.
Inquiry was then made to test the
truth or otherwise of the weird leg
end.
The son, in a letter published in the
New Irish Review, stated that when in
the chapel watching his fathers re-
mains prior to burial he heard noises
outside as of dog shifting at the door.
Upon opening it there was a full grown
fox close TO the steps and several more
around the church. The coachman con-
nrms the presence Of the foxes; so
does another family retainer.
THE daughter of the thirteenth sue
SCISSOR wrote saying that upon the i'll
ness Of her father the foxes sat in
pairs under the bedroom windows,
bowling and barking all night, and If
driven away returned.
