A pipe with a history is In the pos

Raleigh and Is not unlike the letter

been kept in an inlaid box dated ammo
1927" 1t is constructed In four pieces
Of wood. rudely carved with dogs
heads and with the faces of Indians.
On the bowl there Is cap about as
large as the bowl itself. and attached to
the stem Is string of beads made of the
same wood as the pipe. In this stem
q powerful whistle has been cut, and
the suggestion is that Sir Walter used
It to summon his servants. The Ar

century. the inscription accompanying

Sir Walter Raleigh on the scaffold just
before his execution and handed to one

She has grown too fair; she has grown

She needs the sunshine, this dear lit.

Far down on the earth, do you hear

Said the children up in heaven,
"For the little one has gone to sleep;
The shadows fall and the night clouds

Ger the earth we used to live in;
But We'll go and open the gates OF

Oh, why do they weep for the dear lit

At the Jasper light on her sunny hair
Where the yelling clouds are riven!
All! ush-hush-hush! all the wings

For the King himself at the gates OF

Is taking her hand, dear tired little
