OLD HOUSE TO BE MUSEUM
ture Identified With Early Days
Of Southern California.

A movement is on at Riverside, CAL,
for the preservation Of number Of
the old landmarks of the vicinity,
buildings and spots intimately connect
ed with the early-day period Of south
ern California. The plan is being fos-
tered by the local chapter of the
Daughters of the Revolution and the
Pioneer society.
The first project to be undertaken
is the restoration Of the old Rubidoux
home, an adobe structure, which was
built by Indian labor ree-quarters Of
Z century ago. The Rubidoux family
was one Of the most prominent Of the
early Spanish residents, and the homo
was a social center for the interior
section. Many of the notable events
Of history Of the period just previous
to the forty miners are more or less
intimately connected with this old
building which in recent years has
been abandoned and has begun to
crumble away.
After the work Of restoration Ii
completed, the building will serve as
nucleus for pioneer museum for
the housing Of many relics Of the early
days.

SPANKED PRINCE OF WALES
'ormer Cook in Royal Kitchen Tells
Of Humorous Experience Of Some
Years Ago.

1t seldom falls to the lot Of Il
,rince to be spanked by cook, but
hat is what happened to King George
f England when, as the boy prince of
Wales. he tried to steal tart from the
oval kitchen presided over by Mrs.
dary A. Wilson, now a food expert Of
Brooklyn.
Queen Victoria was the best and
most economical housekeeper In
England" comments Mrs. Wilson.
She used to come into the kitchen
tlmost every day. The late Empress
Frederick of Germany, her eldest
laughter, became a cook Of no mean
lbility. In this she was emulated by
ler sister, dowager duchess of Ar
;yll. Prince George, the present
King, loved peach tarts, and often
managed to get away from his numer-
)us tutors to beg some tarts before
Inner. One day he took one while
ny back was turned. I grasped him
~ the back Of his collar, laid him
,cross my knee and administered the
soundest spanking that peer of Eng
and ever received. I remember using
a wooden cooking spoon as the instru-
nent of correction. The queen laugh
I'd heartily when she heard of the in

SHOWED SPIRIT OF AMERICA
Connecticut Youth Good Example Of

Over the Hun Certain.

What was the spirit, French, British,
the day of the signing Of peace? Well,
as for the American spirit, story,
which Gen. Clarence Edwards told me
at st. Mihiel, has the meaning as I
felt it, writes Lucian Swift Kirkland in
Leslie's. He was visiting the hospital.
Just as he was leaving nurse ran
after him. "a Connecticut boy" she
said, "has heard you are here. He has
begged me to ask you to see him. He's
dying, but he doesn't know 1t. he
says he has great favor to ask
Just then the chaplain came and had
the same request. They hurried back,
the chaplain leading. The boy looked
up and saw the chaplain.

what are you looking so darn glum

tell me about it? H, what did I
come over here for? Didn't I come
over here to die if that had to be the
chance? Haven't had my big chance?
Have failed? What the h are you
worrying about?"
Just then he saw the general. "Oh,

I'd ask you if you'd have them come

March just once more"
In minute the band was there
and it was playing the strains of the
march. The lad lifted himself up, a
smile of satisfaction on his face. His
arm beat the time of the music. He
pretended to be leading the band. At
the last note he dropped back to his
pillow-dead.

Famous missouri Waltz"

tied by Knight Logan, writer of pop

gan's best sellers, 'The Missouri
Waltz" The composer was walking
along country road when he saw
the stranger humping weird, tan
talizing strain. When asked where he
had heard it the man replied: Its
old as the hills, mister. My grand
father told me he used to whistle it
when he was boy in Missouri, and
ne first heard an Indian hum 1t in
Oklahoma"
Logan said the strain haunted him
until he could get to piano, where
he worked the melody into his IA

LIBRARY BUILDING
COMMITTEE NAMED

At a special meeting of the Village
Trustees held Monday evening, a
building committee of five members
was elected to take charge of the build
ing of the Ilsley Memorial Library,
made possible through a fund of S5O,-
900 given by Col and Mrs. Silas A.
Ilsley. Owing to his close connection
with the Ilsley estate and his expert
ence in public service, the trustees
named John E. Weeks as Chairman of
the committee The second member
chosen was Miss Susan D. Parker, in
recognition of her many years of ac-
tive association with the Ladies Library
Association. DR.. Howard L, Averill
and John A. Fletcher, representing the
village trustees were next chosen, and
the committee was completed by the
election of George N. Shambo as the
fifth member Mr. Shambo represent
ing the business interests of the village
and always a publc-spirited worker.
No action was taken as to site for
the new library; this is matter which
will be left to the committee. 1t is
understood that the Osborne lot on
the east side of Main street is one
which is being favorably considered.
the committee will have plans drawn
for the library this fall but it is proba-
BILE that no building operations will be
begun until spring.
