FAMOUS OLD ENGLISH TAVERN
Jack straws Castle IN 4ampstead
Heath Has Many Attractions for
the ViGitor.

Jack Straw's castle on Hampstead
heath, which IS mourning the death of
it's landlord, is one of those rather nu-
merous inns whose claims to honor
rest more on legend than on solid
fact 1t is true that every Dickensian
goes there at least once in his life and
there is solid warrant for the pilgrim
age on the authority of John Forster.
In 1887 Dickens wrote to him propos-
ing a winter tramp over the heath,
with the added attraction of Il know
a good 'ous there where we can have
red hot chop for dinner and a glass
of good wine" Forster adds that this
was the first of many happy meetings
at Jack Straw's castle. But the story
that Dickens often stayed there has
not the same authority.
The other Jack Straw legend is that
the peasant leader built fort there
of which it can only be said that the
house is apparently built on an ancient
earthwork, whoever was its architect
The first reference to the castle is in q
mention of q horse race on the heath

Bear Hunting.

Among the sports of India is the
capturing of bears, and to this end
curious means are sometimes de-
vised. For example, four or five sturdy
men are armed, two with long spears
cross-barred on the handles close to
the sharp two-edged blade, and two or
three with ten-foot bamboos, of which
the ends are smeared with bird-lime.
These hunters sally forth with dogs
before dawn. They pass along the
base of the hills with the fresh morn
ing wind blowing up the plains below.
Should the hunters be lucky it is not
long before the dogs wind the bear.
The dogs are slipped and disappear
In the semi-darkness. Soon the roar
ing and growing indicate that they
have found the game. The hunters
run up to the spot where the bear is
fighting with the dogs The men with
the lined poles poke the bear in the
ribs and adroitly twist the ends in its
long hair, thus holding it fast on each
flank The spearmen complete the
operation by repeated spear thrusts.

AGING A PROBLEM
Democratic Party. Has Hard
Row to Hoe.
Previous Extravaganza Seems to Make
Economy imperative, and Inter-
ests of the Country Are
Bound to Suffer.

1t is going to be a billion-dollar ses-
ers are alarmed by the fact. They feaI
the Judgment of the voters in Novem
Der. They recall the economy pledges
made at Baltimore, and the elabora'
ton of them by the Democratic spell
binders in the campaign that followed
And yet these men seem undis
turbed by the record respecting othel
pledges made at the same time, and
elaborated in the same fashion for
campaign purposes.
Take the tariff. That has been re
vised downward, but the result prom
ised has not been realized The cost
Of living, instead of going down, has
gone up. In some things, present fig
rres are the highest of record. But
they have not been produced by the
Underwood law. What we all now
know is that, contrary to the Demo
cratic accusation, the Payne law was
not responsible for the high cost of
living while it was in operation. Hence
it was impossible for revision of that
law to lower the cost.
Take the question of Panama canal
tolls. The Democratic party at Balti.
more committed itself absolutely to
the exemption of American coastwise
shipping from tolls, and the nominee
of the convention explained why, and
committed himself to the policy. Ane
yet Mr.. Wilson wants the exemption
law repealed, the house under pressure
by him has voted for repeal.
Both of these pledges were far more
definite than was the pledge about
economy. That pledge was in terms
general and conventional-what Is
known in politics as a play to the gal
leries.
In the matter of appropriations the
Democrats are face to face with a very
definite proposition. They are for the
time administering the affairs of g
large and developing country. We
have some heavy annual charges, ano
both parties have co-operated in fixing
them. An adequate navy" an up-to
date army, large pension roll, inter
nal Improvements of an ambitious
character, are among the items. The
people in November, 1912, did not vote
to cripple any feature of the accepted
governmental arrangement. They ex
pected the government to be supported
in good style, and according to its size
and purposes and just demands.

QUEER ANTICS OF LIGHTNING
Not Always Of a Tragic Nature, Some
Even Humorous to All but
the Victims.

The antics played by lightning are
sometimes almost beyond belief. A
common trick is that of undressing its
victims. In 1898 two girls and an ell
derly woman we're standing by reap
ing machine during storm. A light
ming flash struck the ~oman and
killed her on the spot, while the two
girls were stripped to the skin, even
their boots being torn from their feet.
Otherwise they were safe and sound

In 1855 a man was struck by light
ming near Vallerois. in France. and
stripped naked. All that could be
found afterwards Of his clothes was a
shirt-sleeve. a few other shreds, and
some pieces of his hob-nailed boots.
Ten minutes after he regained con-
sciousness, opened his eyes, COM
plained of the cold, and inquired how
he happened to be naked.

Such instances have been recorded
again and again. In one case man
and two oxen were struck simuitane-
ously and all three killed The man
was found stripped to the skin, and
his boots had been carried 80 yards
