Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. the creator
Of Sherlock Holmes, does not, it is
commonly understood, think that the
ingenious and fascinating stories of
the great detective are the best things
he has done. He would rather rest his
reputation on his historical romances,
of which THE White Company is
usually considered to be the best. 1t
is certainly as spirited and pictures
que as it is true to the facts of his
tory, a tale of the days of Edward,
the Black Prince. Curiously enough,
a recent valuable historic find
the "Sumpter Book" or ledger, of
the prince-was rescued from it's dusty
oblivion during Sir Arthur's recent
visit to America; and in their first
published transcript of extracts from
its pages, the American papers note a
gift of a "bacinet and wiser" to Sir
Nigel Loring-the hero Of THE White
Company himself. Surely Sir Arthur
must have been pleased
Prince Edwards "Sumpter Book
shows him a generous giver of ex-
tremeiy varied gifts. He was a great
buyer of pearls and rich jewelry, and
freely bestowed magnificent brooches,
clasps, and chains upon his friends.
Among his gifts at New Years., 134S,
are noted one to his mother; to my
lady the Queen a large brooch of 8
baleast rubies and emeralds"; to his
father, the king, "a cup of gold weigh
ing four marks" and next, in surpris-
ing contrast, to his sister, "the Lady
Joan, a tun of Gascon wine and a
trotter-h horse"
The Lady Joan's tastes were probab-
ly not as fast" as the combination
might lead an uncharitable person to
infer. A tun of wine was, in those
days, conventionally suitable gift for
anyone. AS for the 'trotter-horse,"
trotting horses in the American sense
of the word were then unknown. 1t
was merely a properly gated lady
riding horse To the queen, on an
other occasion, he gave a horse bear
ing the name of Red Bayard; and to
another sister, the Lady Isabel, "a
brooch of gold with one large ruby
above and two below and two emer-
aids above and one large one in the
base and two diamonds at the side and
six pearls in three troches changing
drops with two diamonds in the mid
dle."
From such magnificence the transit
ton is almost ludricrous to gift to
the great commander and very noble
knight, Sir John Chandos,-he who fig
ures so prominently in Froissart's
Chronicles. The prince presented him
with agricultural implements and
stock, including "sow valued at three
shiilings and five little pigs at six
pence"
There are gifts of "ketilhat" (ket-

barber; jeweled buttons, brooches and

Shoots Signs Into Place.

A gun which shoots signs into place
has been invented, which in appear
ance is not unlike shotgun. The sign
which it discharges is rolled tightly
about heavy stick, and cord is at
tached to tack, which is temporarily
fastened, point out, at one end of this.
The other end of the string is fas-
tened to the top of the sign. When
the instrument is loaded with one OF
these and the trigger pulled, heavy
springs furnish the propelling force
which sends the roll endwise through
the air like an arrow, at whatever OBJ
ject it is aimed. The tack imbeds it
self, while the jar of the impact loos-
ems the sign and makes it unroll, fall
ing into place. Posters have been
placed at heights of thirty feet from
distances of fifty feet and more with
this unusual gun.-Popular Mechanics.

Princeton, y. j., Nov. 15.-The Yale

eleven here Saturday afternoon by a
score of 10 to IA in a game which for
thrilling climax rivalled modern stage

game and fairly riddled the Ellis line.
