OBITUARY.
John Geeson.

John Geeson, 65, died at his home on Grove street Thanksgiving day. MT.

 MT. Geeson was a native of England and in connection with that fact there is the interesting circumstance that he was born at the lodge in Sherwood forest, made famous by the Robin Hood stories and poems. The father of the deceased was the forest bailiff and rode the great estate as a chief of the protectors of the game therein. AS is generally known, the stories of Robin Hood, picturesque outlaw and leader of a band about which many fanciful tales have been woven, are localized by some writers in Barns dale and Sherwood, between Doncaster and Nottingham. Whether or not the stories have any historical basis, how ever fanciful and romantic the super structure they were of intense inter est to the boy who until he was IS years of age lived with his parents at the lodge and roamed the very ground chosen as far back as the fourteenth century as the setting for the tales that were of such absorbing interest to him and always cherished as a fond memory by him.
 As forest bailiff MT. Gesson's father was in the employ of banker, who three score of years ago owned the vast estate. He was @ practical man and anxious for his sons success, so when the boy was 16 years of age he, under the English system, appren- ticed him to a butcher that he might learn the trade. The apprenticeship was for period of five years and 1t was served in the Nottingham shambles
 At 21 years of age Mir Geeson had his contract and engaged

MAKING LACE GOLD.

Ordinary laces may be made very beautiful by applying to them a coat of gilt paint. To do this gliding lay the lace perfectly flat over a clean piece of plotting paper and apply with a brush. Let one side dry, turn and repeat the process on the other side. If necessary, apply two coats of paint. Silver and copper can be applied in the same way Lace treated thus is lovely for all sorts of fancy work, besides trimming for gown and hat.
