BURIAL PLACE OF KING JOHN
English Monarch Took Place at Worcester.

Tn the American Law Review there writer made an allusion to King John of England. and said he went ito his unlamented rest at St Wolstan s" Now, is this correct? King John was buried at Worcester and in the ca thedral there, and his body has slept in that spot until now. unless, like a streak Of morning cloud, it has melted into the infinite azure of the past. In 1797, for the purpose of identifying 2 the resting place of the king and his remains. committee of citizens was appointed to investigate this matter. The body was identified and all that remained of it placed in a new mau- soleum. where it stands today as one of the objects of interest in Worces- ter cathedral. Shakespeare, in his
 King John." puts in the mouth of Prince Henry the following words: At Worcester must his body be in tered, for so he willed it." Thus we see King John was buried in Worces- ter cathedral, and it is therefore inac. curate to say he was buried at St. Vol stan's. The memory of King John Is not cherished with the feeling that has followed the lives and deaths of some of England's sovereigns. and he will be remembered only as the monarch from whom was extorted the great charter of English liberty, from which this country has received large part of it's valued nheritance.-Letter to St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

These immediately made off helter-skelter for Killorglin, and dashed wildly into the town headed by a great Puck.

The rancCr of early morning had

Braine. To put Norton out of the

a sofa, table, some chairs and an
enormous clock, the face of which was
