DREW CHARACTER FROM LIFE
Thackeray's beatrice" Said to Have
Been Modelled on Career Of Prof.
lloato Duchess.

One Of the few feminine charac-
ters of Thackeray that was not de-
tlared insipid by critics, was his Be-
atrice. She was drawn from real life,
and the original was the daughter of
Col. Thomas Chudleigh, afterward to
become Elizabeth. duchess of Kings
ton. She married Augustus Hervey,
earl of Bristol, after setting all Lon
don by the ears with her beauty, spir-
1t and pranks. He was member Of
the naval forces, and shortly after
their secret wedding was called to
sea, and when lie returned found his
wife the reigning beauty Of the court
anu head over heels in half dozen
affairs, the one with the duke Of
Kingston being SO notorious thnt even
the street gnmins knew Of 1t. She
managed to bring suit for jactita-
tion. and her husband was subject to
heavy penalties should he say she
was his wife. She then married the
duke.
Her great beauty was storm sig
nal wherever she went In London and
Paris, and long list of duels, ruin
ana trouble followed her wake. Al
though she lost part Of her fortune
she continued to be received at con-
tinental courts up to her death at the
age OF slxty-eight, as wicked In her
nhai years MS in her youth. She got
drunk swore, had dozen lovers, ru-
ined as many more, and in fact did
everything that should have brought
her shame and SORROW but lived q r.
0tous life to the end.

10 Believed to Be In Existence
Today.

TO defray the expenses incident to
the Inauguration Of John Quincy Ad-

United States III 1926, the inaugural
committee sold medallIons at SIS each.
Five dollars was considerable money in
those days, and the owner of q medal
lion was entitled to special considera-
ton ut the inaugural ceremonies.
AS much as the medallions were
priced 95 years ago, 1t is believed that
only one exists today, the property Of
J. A. Larrick. policeman detailed to
Washington police headquarters.
The Adams medallion was given to
Larrlck Is years ago by Edward Muir
ply, who Is now dead. Murphy's IA

Of President Adams, was the original

Poultry Flock Given More Time
for Eating and Exercising
During Winter Season.
INCREASES EGG PRODUCTION
Many Farmers Find It Profitable to
illuminate Houses for Several
Hours Each Day to Encour-
age the PuIlets.

Domestic fowls originated In the,
tropics where the days and nights are
Of about equal length. AS result OF
this, the reproductive and digestive
systems Of the hen are developed to
tit the environment Of 12-hour day
and a 12-hOur night. For this reason
she is somewhat like an alarm clock,
except that she must be wound up
about every IL hours instead of every
"a. In the winter In the North, her
digestive system strikes ut about 3 or
4 o'clock In the morning. AS she is
unable to locate food in the dark she
has no alternative but to wait until
daylight or until the caretaker gets
around to feed her.

Many Of the countries of Europe

Islands Of Europe, as the Molucca
