The late King Edward left a

The King did not like to inter-

Of the property she had already

come when Queen Alexandra at

There Is strong reason to believe
that she intends to leave most of

The struggle for this property is

it in manner that left his wishes
respecting the division Of it open
to good deal of doubt
In the Summer OF 1909 King
Edwards solicitor went down to
Sandringham and received the
Kings instructions to draw I'D his

ument Her Majesty objected to It
as not truly representing her hus-
bands wishes. Her Majesty had
good reasons for raising these OBJ
jections because the financier who
took down King Edwards instruc-
tions admitted that they were CIV
en- somewhat confusedly and that
they might not represent the
Kings real wishes.
The great point Of contention
which arose between King George
and Queen Alexandra over King
Edwards will was whether part Of
the money (about S500,000) left to
her by the monarch and all the
gold and silver and art treasures
at Buckingham Palace were be-
queathed to her absolutely or were
to revert at her death to the Prince
Of Wales. King George maintained
(and still maintains) that the
money and treasures should revert
to the Prince of Wales; Queen
Alexandra claims that they were
left to her absolutely.
The King could not afford to
have an open rupture with his
mother on such O question. Queen
Alexandra was allowed to have
everything she claimed, acd Her
Majesty, It must be added, claimed
everything in sight, from the wine
in the cellar to the flag on the roof
OF Buckingham Palace.
When she moved to Marlborough
House she took all the gold, silver
and art treasures which had act
ually been purchased by or given
to King Edward. The gold and
silver treasures were put down In
the big plate room at Marlborough
House and the art treasures in
the way Of old masters, statuary,
priceless old furniture, gifts from
Oriental potentates, china and
tapestries were disposed about the
different rooms at Marlborough
House.
Over the removal of the famous
Gobelins tapestries from Bucking-
ham Palace an open quarrel very
nearly occurred between King
George and his mother; the tapes

Cleveland, and her father was
one of the twelve richest men in
America. The marriage had been
considered singularly fortunate,
for the Rensley family dated
back five hundred years-though
not the title, and his lands were
extensive, although improbable.
Miss Kane's dowry would restore
the old abbey and enable her hus-
band and herself to assume their
rightful place in the social hier-
archy. And so Rensley had won
the beauty of Cleveland.
This is what happened three
hours after the marriage: He and
his bride were face to face in their
apartments at the Eversley hotel
The bride drew off her engage
ment ring meditatively and hand
ed it to him and said, without a
trace OF passion:
I shall wear my marriage ring,
but not this. The bargain is an
equal one and I am satisfied. You
will never have cause to be
ashamed of me in the eyes of the
world. Goodnight, Lord Rens-
ley"
''You mean" he asked, "that
our marriage is to be one in name
only?"
why, what else did you ex-
pect?" she answered mockingly,
though her lips were quivering.
You never loved me. You sought
me for my fortune, as I you for
your title" And so she turned

Nickel Most Important Coin.

The handy nickel is dignified
with an interesting editorial in the
Oklahoma City Oklahoman in which
it said: Every child knows what a
nickel is. and every younester is
posted as to the possibilities of a
nickel in domestic commerce. But
no person knows how many nickels
there are in circulation, not even
the treasury Officials. There have
been 800,000,000 issued since we
have been using the convenient
five-cent pieces but many of them
have been lost. How many people
know that the humble nickel is the
most important coin now in use?
1t is more circulated than any other
piece of money that has a place in
the currency. How many things
purchased every day by the multi
tudes are sold for a nickel? This
humble coin travels with constant
velocity and does not remain long
enough in the hands of any pos
SCISSOR for the temporary owner to
get acquainted with it. This is be-
cause a nickel is never boarded.
The constant demand for it keeps it
in the pocket ready for use when
ever called for. 1t is not so with
pennies, which are put in boxes un-
I'll enough have been collected for
use. The penny is too small in its
individuality to cut any ice in shop
ping and so the occasion for it is
limited. On account of the inces-
SAINT travelling of the nickel, a COM
paratively small quantity serves
the purpose of large community.
The popularity of the nickel as a
coin makes it of interest to remind
the public that the government is
about to issue a new nickel of the
Indian and buffalo type to take the
place of the nickels that the chill
dren lose. -Ex.

Atlanta, May 19.-The Southern As sembly of the Presbyterian church to- day voted to change the infant-elect clause in the confession of faith,'' to read that all infants are saved. The vote was 135 to IA. The old clause had stood for 13 years. John T. Stone, moderator of the Northern As sembly, announced today that he would make a formal reply to the assembly to the charge that his elec- tion to the office was the result of a 'frame-up."
 The United Assembly today voted to adopt the report of the committee on reform advocating temperance, strict observance of the Sabbath reading Of tho Bible in public schools, equal rights of men in all stations of life, uniform divorce laws and proper re- lation of marriage.
