the devoted friend of the head OF the
nation. Only a few persons have
known that this president of the
United States had been in gravest
danger at a time when the serious
ness of the financial situation in this
country would have made anything
but the most favorable outcome ma.
tional calamity. We may be sure
that the eminent surgeons engaged in
this case exercised the utmost care,
and employed their full professional
skill The secret has been well kept
but DR.. Keen told the late Richard
Olney of the pride which all concern.

was achieved. so that Mr. Cleveland

any recurrence of what was men

A DOCTOR AND A THRONE.
How Eneland's Present Royal Family
Gained the Crown.

That George V. now sits on the throne
OF England is due in 10 small measure
TO the prosnosis of seventeenth cen.
fury physician, DIR. Richard Mead, who
was born in London Aug. IL, 1913.
When Queen Anne, last OF the Stuart
rulers, became fatally i'll in TIA
Or. Mead was called in consultation.
After an examination of the stricken
queen he found that she was near
deaths door. and the doctor so tn
formed the leaders of the Wing party,
with which he was affiliated.
The Wings favored the Hanoverian
succession and Immediately on learning
that Anne was soon to succumb began
to plan for the realization of their am.
billions. The regular physicians of the
queen did not believe that she was SO
near to death, SO when Anne breathed
her last in lIl4 the supporters of
Anue's brother, James, were unpre-
pared for the event. Anne's Tory min
istry was in favor of placing james on
the throne, but the Wings, thanks to
DIR. Mead. had already taken such nc
ton as to insure the succession OF the
elector of Hanover, and in September
George |. made his triumphal entry
into England.
DR.. Mead was rewarded by being
made physician 10 the new royal fam
lily. Many English historians have at
tributed large importance to the physi-
cinns prognosls in bringing about the
succession OF the royal house which
has ruled England for two CENTURIES

This is soldiers library week and
all over the country an effort is being
made to raise money for books for
soldiers Libraries at the various can
tonments in this country and in
France. Bennington county has so
far been unfortunate in not having
found man to take charge OF the
canvass, but that does not remove our
responsibility to pay our share. The
amount apportioned to Bennington
county is $1,000 and this means that
reasonable number of small subscrib.
tons will raise what is needed For
the present checks or cash may be
given or sent to any of the three H.
brarians in Bennington or TO the Ii.
brarian at Manchester and the money
will be forwarded. The appeal should
not be laid aside or forgotten but
should be acted on promptly Prof S.
