WHERE TARLETON is BURIED
American Tourist Discovers Tomb Of
Dashing Officer Who Won Fame
in Revolution.

What became of Major Tarleton aft
er the Battle of Yorktown? Except
for very few people, says A. G.
Bradley in the Nation, everyone in
England has forgotten the very name
of the young cavalry leader. But many
persons in America must have won
dered what became of the dashing sol
der, and how it happened that in the
long years of war that shook England
and Europe his name never once ap-
peared.
When Mr.. Bradley, in leisure hour,
entered the fine old fourteenth century
village church at Leintwardine, in
Herefordshire, he did not think that
the bare, unseated chapel promised
much of interest; indeed, he was just
turning away when in far corner and
partly concealed by ladders, buckets,
planks and other articles necessary to
the cleaning of the church, he caught
sight of lofty mural monument. The
lettering on it ran as follows:
"Near this place are deposited. the
mortal remains of Sir Banastre Tarle-
! tOn-Baronet General in the Army
knight Grand Cross of the Order of
the Bath, Governor Of Berwick-on-
Tweed, Colonel of the Gallant 8th
Hussars-He represented his native
town Of Liverpool for seven Sessions
and closed his distinguished career in
this place Jan. 25, 1888"
In 1893 Tarleton was sent to Portu-
gal, but was very soon recalled at his
own request, and with that exception
he never saw shot fired after York
town or served anywhere abroad, al
though England was constantly fight
ing until Waterloo. He got promoted
regularly, however, for he, stoods well
at court and was a member of the
prince of Wales circle.
TarletOn belonged neither to the no.
bility nor to the landed gentry. He
was the son of a Liverpool merchant,
an unusual origin at that time for a
dashing cavalry officer and the best
horseman, according to good authority,
in the British army. He had entered
Oxford and had studied to become a
barrister, but gave up classics and the
law for soldering and commission
at twenty-one years of age. He had
genius for the training of men and
officers and for rapid and successful
strokes
On returning from America, how
ever, he turned from soldering to poll
tics he lost no time in entering the
house of commons, and sat for his
native city of Liverpool for 20 years
He became a major general in 1874, q
lieutenant general in 1901, full gen.
eral in 1912, a baronet in 1915 and a
G. G. B. in 1920. He also held the
full colonelcy of several cavalry regi,
!. ments in succession and was for some
years governor of Berwick. He ap
parently retired with his wife tC
Leintwardone for the last years Of
his life, lived there quietly and did moi
, mix with the neighboring county fam
lilies.
The seclusion of his gorgeous tomb
behind the cobwebs of disused aisle
> gives final touch of mystery to th'
: romance that early associations will
Virginia have connected with Tarle
toms name.-Youth's Companion.

Arabs Not Much Changed.

The Arab is physically and intellec-
tualIy as virile as he ever was, but SUI
perficially he is unrecognizable as his
former self. In the early days of the
Abbasid caliphate, not only was the
Arab world prosperous, but we have
records of an elaboration of govern
ment and a compleXity of administra-
ton which would astonish those who
are only acquainted with the social
and political conditions under which
Arabs live today.

Britain Develops Speed.

The erection of a British machine
gun factory in three months has at

Two months after the building was
up a steady supply of guns was being

tons, for the main building was deliv-

Earth Grows Slowly Now.

In the early days of its history the
earth grew rapidly by the addition of
meteoric matter. 1t is still growing in
the same manner, scientists say,
though scarcely to an appreciable ex-
tent, for the mass Of meteoric matter
added yearly is reckoned to be only
10000 tons. In the course of ages the
larger planets have swept up practic-
ally all the fragments of the original
disruption, and the only available
source of supply of meteoric matter
seems to be brought by comets.

Columbus.-The figures of the State

regarded as likely that these increases
will follow through the other public
utility corporations and railroads so
that the increase will practically keep
pace with the increase in real estate
and personal property valuations.
Fears had been expressed that the con-
trary might be true, but the figures
are entirely reassuring.
