Married by Order.

A document suggesting that the
holders of certain lands in Scotland
are bound under heavy monetary pen
alties to marry at the royal pleasure
has been brought to light during a
Scottish appeal case in the house of
lords. The document is said to have
been prepared by the king and queen
of Scotland in 1859, and it refers to
a tenure known as "ward." The
heir or possessors of land held in this
manner cannot obtain possession I'M
til they are twenty-one years of age
if males and fourteen years Of age if
females. If such heirs on taking pos
session are not married they are bound
to marry at the pleasure and will Of
the king with persons of good reputa-
ton and similar rank. The penalty
payable to the king for refusing such a
proposed marriage is double the pc
cuniary benefit of the marriage.

try and almost at the value Of the

THEIR GLORY CONE
HelgoIand to Join Louisbourg as
a Memory.
Famous French Fortress in Canada
Has Long Been Demolished and
Soon the German Stronghold
Is to Be Raced.

Announcement that the German
forts on the island of Helgoland are
to be demolished recalls the similar
fate of glorious landmark on Ca
madam soil. This is Louisbourg, No
va Scotia, once the pride of New
France, and now pile of ruins, with
but a faint echo of it's original splen-
dor.
Louisbourg was the remnant of
French power on the Atlantic coast
when the treaty of Utrecht was sign
ed in 1713, reducing the fortunes of
Louis XIV to a low ebb.~ From 1920
to 1850 it led precarious but spec
tacular existence, its magnificence as a
defense guaranteed by the expendi-
ture of millions Of dollars by the
French government, though millions
were stolen and wasted by dishonest
officials and unhappy officers, whose
only ambition was to get rich and go
home.
The fortress was imposing, despite
the thievery and Encouragement, and
it required seven weeks siege by
Colonel Pepperell and his New Eng
landers in 1745 to take it from the
French.
By one of those diplomatic incidents
too plentiful in the history of the new
world, Louisbourg was handed back
to France in 174S by the treaty of
Aix-la- Chapelle. The New England
ers were furious, but ten years later
the British army and navy, with such
rising strategists as Amherst and
Wolfe taking part, again laid siege
by land and sea, and in another cam
paign of seven weeks recaptured the
stronghold.
The days of the great fortress were
now numbered. The home of discon-
tent, the abode of smugglers, the den
Of thieving officialdom received its
death warrant in 1850 at the hand OF
George II and Pitt in London. So
well was the warrant executed that
for months sailors, sappers and miners
worked until they laid Louisbourg lev
el with the dust.
And there it remains. Memorials
recording its history raise their mod
est heads above the chaos Of stones
and mortar. The site on point three
miles from the railway and the town of

NICKEL BY NICKEL
Newspaper Man DribbIed His
Profit to Beggar.
Little Transaction by Which Scribe
Thought He Was to Make $2.65
Didn't End in Just That
Desired Way.

"A newspaper friend of mine," said
Mr.. Goslington, "tells me Of an I'M
usual experience he has had, in fact is
stlil having with a >beggar.
He met this beggar first about a
year ago. The circumstances attend
ing this first meeting were novel and
interesting and my friend wrote lit
tie piece about it which was printed
In his newspaper and for which he
received So. AS he had given the
fbeggar nickel he figured that his
net profit on this was 1926. But:
"A couple of weeks later he again
met this beggar, who again asked for
a nickel, a request that my friend did
MOT feel warranted in refusing.
don't think he would have refused any
way, my friend being an easy mark
for beggars; but having proflted by
his original transaction with this beg
\ gar, he felt impelled to hand over this
Second nickel promptly, thus reducing
his net on this little piece to $3.50.
ut wasn't long before my friend
discovered that. this beggar lived some
where in his neighborhood and made
that part of the town his quarry; for
now he used to meet him here and
there by intervals. Not always, by
any means, when they met did the
beggar approach him; commonly they
passed each other as any other two
might do, with no sign of recognition !;
but once in while the beggar would
ask for a nickel, which always my
friend gave. In this way in the course
of three months he gave up 35 cents,
thus reducing the net of that So to
$2.65. Then my friend had an idea.
HE foresaw that If this went on
Indefinitely, as there seemed every in
idication it would do, the beggar would
get all of the So, which to my friend
seemed scarcely reasonable But he
did think that an even division would
be no more than right to the beggar,
and so when the So got down to $2.65
he set aside, in his mind, $1.15 as q
drawing account to the beggar's credit,
and he said to himself that when thus
.sShe original fund had been evenly d.
t&ided he would stop giving and con-
slider that he had done the square
thing.
swell, my friend tells me that, count
ing nickel that the beggar drew yes
terday, he has now drawn $1.4O, so
that now it is question of very few
weeks only, three or four at the ut
most, when the beggar will have drawn
his full share.
'Then, my friend says, he is go
ing to shut down and keep the rest
himself; but what think he will do
will be to keep on paying till the
whole three dollars is gone, his orig
inal profit being thus wiped out COM
pletely. I'don't know what he can do

Chinese Railways Busy.

Latest reports indicate that the 5000
miles of government railways carry
annually more than 25OOO,OOO passen-
gers a total of 1,000,0OO,O00 miles.
Thirty-seven per cent of the receipts
of the government railways come from
the passenger service. On five of the
lines the passenger revenues exceed
those from transportation of goods.
Ninety-five per cent of the passenger
traffic is third-class at an average fare
of one cent mile, which means a
large amount Of travel by the poorer
classes.
Wide macadamized highways are
being constructed in the suburbs of
many cities. The coming of the auto
mobile will hasten this development.
An automobile service across the Cobb
desert connecting Peking with Urga
and the Russian railway has been in
augurated.

English Lenses Superior.

When aero-photography commenced
to play its great part in the war, it was
found that the German-made lenses
would do the work of picturing from
above far better than British-made
lenses. But the English opticians set
to work, and in short time they pro-
duced lenses that beat the German
product fair and square. Captured
aero-photognaphic apparatus during
the latter part Of the war showed that
the lenses were inferior in quality to
those made in Britain. No German
made lens has yet been found that
would picture a barbed wire entangle,
ment from height of three miles, but
the British product would, and very
often did.

STUNT NIGHT At S HUT

an exhibition ene, no decision was
rendered. the purpose of Ryan and
Maher being to increase the interest
in boxing as aFhealthful exercise and
to stimulate those boys who are in
terested in the pastime to improve
their knowledge Of it,. Both men
showed fine spirit of sportsmanship
ana the contest was clearly fought
from start to finish. both seeming to
enjoy the exchange of good healthy
blows.

Board Is Convincing Disabled Sol
diers Of Commences Of o. S.
Educational Offer.

One of the dih1culties the Federal
Board Of Vocational Education has
encountered in it's work Of re-educa-
ton is that of convincing disabled
men of the generous aid offered by
the government. That all expenses
of retrainfng are paid. and in addi-
ton the needs Of wife and children
supplied; that this is not considered
q loan, but the payment of a just
debt. and that their only obligation
is to make good and useful citizens
of themselves. seems too good to be
true. But when the disabled soldier
realizes that he is the beneficiary,
not Of public charity, but of national
gratitude, he accepts the profKered
offer of retraining with good grace.
Already there have been S1,741 men
to register with the board, the voca-
tional advisers have made contacts
with 52,367 of these and 2.079 have
