For the purpose of combating So

Prussian Chancellor and head of the
catholic Trade Union. which has $780,

solidated Christian union. He would

warfare and keeps religious faith"
Herr Stegerwald thinks such a union
as he advocates is now possible since
Protestant Prussia which the south
German Catholic always feared, no
longer exists. He estimates that such
a grouping would give 12O Reichstag
members. a fifth of the total number.
and constitute most important group.

GRAVE GRASSLESS
FOR FULL CENTURY
Recalls Prophecy of Culprit
Hanged as He Protested In
nocence Of Robbery.

The prophecy made by John Newton
Davies as he stood on the gallows that
grass would never grow on his grave for
hundred years as proof of his limo.
cence now has been fulfilled.
Davies was publicly hanged exactly
hundred years ago for highway rob-
berry. and although he was only a farm
bailiff he made a stirring speech de-
clearing his, innocence just before his
death and also made the prophecy. To-
day there remains one grave in the par
ish churchyard in Montgomery on which
Is a barren. sterile strip of bare earth
in the form of cross. Countless visi.
tors go there to see the marvel, which
the local people say Is as old as the
grave.
Another tradition OF the grave which
smacks still more of the supernatural
is that those who try to frustrate the
fulfilment of the prophecy always come
to an unpleasant and untimeiy end.
About fifteen years ago a commercial
traveller resolved to defy what he con-
sidered a legend and planted seed on
the grave. He died suddenly two weeks
later. Another planted a rose tree at
the head of the grave. The tree grew,
but he was seized with paralysis and
never recovered.

Tomley. solicitor and one Of the church,

Many English persons who passed the

Anatole Frances next book is coming

While seated in his hotel during his
stay on the Riviera NJ. France sat for
hours watching the people there and
making copious notes. Some of them
were so anxious to be included in his
book that they actually paraded before
him and did everything possible to
attract his attention. One woman was
known to have changed her gown sew
eral times day in order to attract his
notice.
Eugene Brieux the French dramatist,
does not work that way. Not long ago
he built a villa among the rocks ten
mikes from Cannes and placed a sign
on his gate:
II live here because / want to be
alone.'
Luck was against him. and within a
year or two a town had sprung up
around his villa, with the result that he

day in eking out pitiable existence
with one student and a borrowed plano.
Once well known for the brilliance of

has been forgotten by all save a few
musical writers and the management Of
piano company, who have agreed to
leave the cheap instrument, which they
rented to him years ago, with him as
long as he lives.
Friends have tried to assist him, but
the old mans pride Is still strong and
he prefers his humble abode with his
grandson to the charity which could be
his for the asking. NJ Peru's story
throws a new light on the character of
Chopin.
"A pale. generous, distinguished man,

a pupil seventy-five years ago." said NJ.
Peru. He lived miserably and was
absolutely incapable Of keeping for
single day the money he had earned,
but writer's always spoke of him as ele-
gantly gloved and carrying cane. Hour
after hour he would plan to get UP, and
finally, perspiring and trembling. his
visage worn, he would do so, only to
collapse on the divan with his eyes
closed and his temples beating fercely.
He never changed to the day of his
death. for he spoke increasingly during
his last hours. saying that he would
soon recover and resume giving lessons
