Of Genteel Poverty.

almost cloistered retreat walled in by
gray buildings. entered by an archway
leading off the roaring Strand and Fleet

acts in the lives of the Lambs. There
Mary was born in 1864, and there, too,

later. They were the children of gen

known in England and from which
escape is nigh impossible. The story
of Charles Lambs long service as d
clerk at India House is familiar, and
the essay in which he tells of his
strange sense of exile when. being re-
tired on a pension, he no longer of a
morning climbed his high stool and
addressed himself to his ledger is one
of his best bits of quaint humor.

Mounds Son Then
Takes OlU,1 Life

Driven do desperation by vexations
farm problems, Robert H. Liverett,
ager " years, a well-to-do farmer on
the Haywood road about four miles
from Hendersonville, took his life
with a shot gun Thursday afternoon
after fatally wounding his son, John,
aged about fifty-f1ve gears.
John Liverett, who lost the lower
part of his face from a shot wound
at the hands of his father, died Tues
day night about 10 o'clock.
The aged father met instant death
by emptying the contents of his gun
about the region of the heart while
concealed in the granary.
There are conflicting reports as to
the double killing, the generally ac-
cepted one being to the effect that the
father and son had some unpleasant
words as to the kind of farm work to
be done.
The father had been in feeble health
for some time and it is believed that
by reason of this and his ripe old age
he grew desperate and seized his gun,
He is said to have announced his in
tention of taking his sons life in the
field where the later was narrowing
