Duke Rene II, died in 1903, also
the tomb of his wife, Philippe de
Gueldre, died in 1547. An ancient
custom of burying members Of the

image of the deceased on top of
the tomb, just as they appeared

The Round Chapel.
The Chapelle Ronde Ground
ChapeD is the Westminster of the
Ducal Lorraine. The chapel is not
built round, but is exactly octag-
onal. Seventy-eight members Of
the house of Lorraine are buried
there, and in 1898 their graves
were disturbed during a revolution
and bones scattered about the
place. Shortly afterwards the king
of Austria came over and straight
ened out the bones of the mem
bers of Lorraine and re-entered
them in the chapel. Each year, on
November 9, a funeral service is
held by the Ambassador of Austria
in the Eglise des Cordeliers, COM

war, the Austrian government is
not now permitted to come to

The Chapelle Ronde was built
by Charles III in 1882, on the
model of the celebrated Chapel of
the Medics at Florence, Italy. Its
cupalo is remarkably decorated
with sculpture work, which it took
twenty-four years of one mans
time to make.
The extreme top built lantern
shape throws a deep purple light
upon the tombs; the huge black
marble pillars and white marble
affairs add much beauty to this his

This church was also the victim
of the air raids, which broke all
the large windows in the chapel, by
flying pieces Of shrapnel, but
brought no damage to the interior,
except a large oil painting that was
slightly slit by piece Of shell. For
this same picture John p. Morgan

George Washington's old army
coat, and Robert Morris's Old white
shirt. Then she asked how many
points the star should have. They
said that they wanted six pointed
stars. She said that she thought
they ought TO have five pointed
stars. She showed them a five

So she made the first flag.

OUR BABY,

No shoes to hide her tiny toes,
No stockings on her feet,
Her supple ankles white as snow,
Or early blossoms sweet.
Her simple dress of sprinkled pink,
Her double dimpled chin,
Her puckered lip and bonny mouth,
With not tooth between.
Her eyes so like her mothers eyes,
Two gentle. liquid things;
Her face is like an angels face,
We're glad she has no wings.

THE FUNNIEST THING.

The funniest thing in the world, l
know,
Is watching the monkeys at the

Jumping and running and racing

Up to the top of the pole, then

First they're here and then they're
there,
Just almost any and every where,
Screeching and scratching wher-
ever they go,
That's the funniest thing in the

Spring

The alder by the river
Shakes out her watery curls,
The willow buds in silver,
For little boys and girls.
The little birds fly over,
And oh, how sweet they sing,
To tell the happy children,
That once again It's spring.
The gay green grass come creep
ing
So soft beneath their feet,
The frogs begin to ripple,
A music clear and sweet.
And butter cups are coming,
And scarlet columbine,
And in the sunny meadows,
The dandelions shine.
And just as many daisies,
AS their soft hands can hold,
The little ones may gather,
All fair in white and gold.
Here blows the warm, red clover,
There peeps the violet blue,
Oh, happy little children,
God made them all for you!

which will result in somebody going

tiles during the war.
Mr.. Graham said yesterday that he
had received information which
strongly indicated "criminality" in the
preparation and distribution of Gov

taken by the committee next week. he
believes. will confirm this information.
Motion pictures made by the Gov

exhibited over the country by private
interests, and the money derived from
the exhibitions is going into the priv

complete agreement. The plan in view

Fiume President Wilson stands alb

Italy is to get compensations other
than those sought by her in the Adri-
attic on the basis of the treaty of
London. compensations which will not
ouly appeal to the mass of the Italian
people. but completely restore the
former amity between Italy and the
United States.
No definite outline of the plan is as

may be said that the powers are
showing a strong desire to speed up
the formulas regarding the various

largely on the outcome of these colo

support of the United States gov

Edge, of New Jersey, who is father
ing a bill to facilitate the bankers
undertaking. Senator Edge himseIr
was in New York comforting with
representatives of the financial in

Europe and reap untold profits" He
charged that the bankers who were
interested IN the measure now in
Senator Edges hands were back of
the movement to force ratification
of the league of nations covenant
in order that the league might en-
able them to carry out their plans.
