Ann Boleyn and Bill Astor

An important society item has reached us via London. The ghost of Ann Boleyn has vanished from Hever castle-this as you know is the seat of the new American born English baron-William Astor.
 This has taken place all because the baron, though he has become English, cannot forswear native born predi- lection for things new and in good re- pair.
 The old dilapidated bridge over which the ghost was wont to walk was torn down and replaced to the minutest detail but the sensitive na- ture of the ghost was outraged.
 Mir. Astor has disturbed other ghosts no doubt for he has put in an Italian garden and an artificial lake, dug an artesian well, established a reservoir and put in an electric power house. The practice of candle light ing is forever abandoned in Hever castle-what ghost but would resent that One of his new piggeries cost $500. The floor of his dairy is inlaid with Italian mosaics and beautiful fountain plays in the center. Guest houses are built outside the castle but cunningly connected with it. Now you may say what you please about preserving the atmosphere of a place but you can't very well accomplish this by destroying the early English spirit with an electric light and a bath tub

America's Richest Women

More than $l ,OOO, ,OOO, ,OO0 of wealth is actually in the hands of American Women today.
 Forty of them alone direct, manage and hold the purse strings of more than $720,000,000.
 Chief among the women who hold the reins upon money is Mrs. Mary Hartman.
 In exactly ninety-nine words Ed ward Hartman transferred his entire estate to his wife without the least re- strictions as to what she should do with it or how she should do it.
 Mrs. Sage was also given the cus- tody of her millions without string.
 Mrs. Hetty Green inherited $1,0OO,- 900 from her father but the bulk of her vast estate she has made herself. With the nice little nest egg left her, she went into business herself and became a daily worker and no man ever kept with more care nor added with more zeal than she to the estate thus accumulated.

 Table silver may be occasionally placed in an aluminium kettle or sauce pan which is perfectly clean and bright, well covered with cold water and allowed to boil for fifteen min utes, after which remove from vessel and dry.
 Cotton flannel makes the best cloths for cleaning and drying silver but a new piece of material should be washed out before using.
 Large dishtowels made of cotton flannel and kept especially for silver ware will be found most satisfactory.
 Cotton flannel is also preferred by many to chamois skin for polishing as it is less trouble to keep the cloths clean and soft.
 Do not keep silver in woolen bags as the sulpher in woolen tarnishes the metal.
 A lump of camphor kept in the sil- yer drawer will help to prevent tarn- ish. Never allow rubber of any kind to be placed near silver.

 "Your honor" he said, "the man in suited me-"

 We find Michael O'Halloran" head ing the list of best sellers this week in leading book store of the country and that reminds of a circumstance which we read lately of it's author, Gene Stratton Porter. Under one of her late photographs in London book monthly we read this: "This comedy and clever lady is from the state of Indiana, America, and her books "Freckles," "Laddie" and the rest have won an extraordinary popularity with the young womanhood of Great Britain. MT. John Murray is her London publisher and last autumn he issued new book of hers Michael O'Halloran" which promises to have all the vogue of it's forerunners. A further note in the journal says "In America they call Mrs. Stratton-Pot ter" the best seller lady," for 3,5C0,- 900 copies of her books have now been sold"

STUDENT WINS $3.50 SUIT
Hurt in Fire Drill in Erasmus High
School Last December.

A student who was injured during a
fire drill exhibition sued the Board OF
Education yesterday in the 9th District
Municipal Court, Brooklyn, and OBJ
tanned a verdict of $3.50.
Henry S. Rubin, who brought suit,
was q pupil Of Erasmus High School
last December, when Fire Commis-
sioner Adamson came to see how quick
ly it could be emptied in case of fire.
The fire drill was successful, the stu
dents made record time in reaching the
street, but Rubin tripped over another
lad and was taken to his home.
Counsel representing the Board OF
Education attempted to shift Response
bility, maintaining that only the build
ino's condition could be put up TO the
board. lie said it was not liable for the
injuries. 1t is likely that the case will
be appealed.
AT the time the drill was held there
was discussion as TO the safety OF the
buildings, and a protest from citizens
led those in charge Of Erasmus to hold
the fire drill.

sometimes more.
eve were well in reserve behind the
first line east of Hill 304. Eight sec

head of the ravine. For forty-eight
hours we had been enduring a terrible
bombardment, and when the big guns
ceased the attack commenced. We took
advantage of the opportunity to get a
little sleep while one Of our NUMBER

sentry wake US.
Charge Through He'll of Shells.
"Gas!' he shouted; 'Gas!' And we
groaned and grumbled as we woke up
to adjust our goggles and masks. Then
without orders and by instinct, we
took our places at the guns.
"Our lieutenant, former instructor
IN the Paris schools, stood with his
glasses TO his eyes watching the Ger
mans, hardly concealing himself. The
gas passed on by US.
"The Germans were just out OF our
line of vision, because of a slight
irregularity in the ground. We saw no
Germans, but the shells began 10 throw
up small volcanoes in the ridge before
US. and we knew the 'boches' were COM

order for the first piece to make ready.
"The German line showed on the
ridge and We began. At my gun first
one and then second man was
wounded. Then it came my turn at the
wheel. The 'boches' were not hun
bred yards away. They advanced stead

Occasionally we could hear the
hoarse command of the German off
