| uncle" and 1t was only when they
came to Washington that the pair set.
tied down for any appreciable period.
Before the youth concluded hil
schooling at Georgetown college Cap
tain Ord was taken Ill, and. after q
sickness as brief as ii was mysterious,
died while trying to tell the boy the
secret Of his parentage. James" he
gasped, II have sworn not to do 80,
but I must tell you that your father
was" and here at Of coughing
| seized him, which prevented his dis
closure Of the mystery.
Upon investigation of his guardians
papers, Ord discovered that the man
had not been his uncle, but was mere
ly q common sailor in the British navy,
who, through the exercise Of some po-
litical influence, had been given the
post Of dockyard inspector under the
Spanish crown. The younger Ord's
supply Of funds continued unabated
and he placed himself under the tu-
telage Of a Maryland priest, who. In
addition to teaching him. assisted in
the search for the truth concerning his
parentage. This search led to the con-
clusion, unsupported by any direct
documentary evidence, that he was
the soE Of George ~ Of England. born
while that monarch was prince Of
Wales, his mother being Marie Anne
Smythe Fitzherbert, whom George had
married in 1785.
When Ord was well on In life, he
wrote to Mrs. Fitzherbert, but was
unable to obtain reply from her, al
though he died in the firm belief that
she was his mother. This contention
was also accepted by the Jesuit ia
theirs Of Georgetown college, who, in
the centenary history Of the institu-
tion, mentioned the name Of "James
Ord, son Of George w." in it's list Of
alumni.
After various adventures in Amer
lea, including trip to the far West
In search Of gold and the accumula-
tion of a considerable fortune on the
Pacific coast, Ord ylhs appointed to
the bench, and returned to Washing
ton. where he built handsome home
on Pennsylvania avenue. Later, how
ever he moved to Omaha, where he
died at the age Of ninety-seven, still
strong in the belief that the long.
delayed unseal:ng Of Mrs. Fitzher-
bert's private papers would clear up
the mystery which surrounded his
birth. These papers formed part Of
a mysterious packet which Mrs. Fitz-
herbert, upon her deathbed, requested
might be placed in vault in Coutts'
bank, London, to remain there until
such time as the reigning sovereign Of
Great Britain might see fit to have
them publicly opened.
The seal was finally broken in 1905,
by order of Edward VII, but, while
the marriage certificate of George,
prince Of Wales, and the pretty widow
was discovered, none Of the other doc
uments contained any reference to
children alleged to have been born Of
the union. James Ord" therefore,
must continue to rank with Kaspar
Hauser, the dauphin, the man in the
iron mask and the other unsolved
riddles Of history.

SANTA CLAUS is COMING TO
FRANKLIN.

Santa Claus is coming to Frank
lin. Yes sir, word has been received
from him in the far north that he
will be here without fail on Friday,
December 22nd.
He wants to meet all the boys and
girls of st. Mary Parish, and give
them a present. In order to do this
the Franklin Chamber of Commerce
has arranged to have a Christmas
tree right on the Main street of
Franklin, where Santa will place a
gift for every single boy and girl
between the ages of and II years.
And listen children, you just tell
Papa that there is no use making
excuses, cause you must be there.
And all you grown-up children,
who have become wise to the myth
of Santa Claus, can come out and
see the dear, old fellow, too, even if
he has no present for you. Let US
all join in and make this Parish
Christmas tree the joyous event that
it should and will be for the young
er generation.

MOUNT BLANC SHRlNkS

New measurements of Mount
Blanc by scientists, reported in the
Scientific American, reveal the fact
that, instead of being 4,S10 meters
in height, it stretches but $50, me-
ters toward the skies. While some
authorities hold that the greater ac-
curacy of our present instruments is
responsible for this apparent shrink
age, others believe the loss to be
actual. From the brow of the
mighty mountain rises snow cap
at least a hundred feet in thickness,
and i'm view of the unusual heat Of
the past summer it is not inconceiv-
able that nine feet of this cap should
have melted away.

HAS A HEART

Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends"
So said John. and ever since
man has glorified the hero who
sacrificed his own life for
another. History is full Of ex-
amples. and peace as well rs war
shows many heroes. Sometimes
the hero is not even a man. or
a human being, but a humble
animal; a dog. perhaps, whose
love of his master is greater than
his love Of life.
A dog. so say the scientists,
has only instinct. A dog. say the
wise man, does not think OF
reason; he does but react to his
environment. Doubtless they
know, but if a dog does not think
or reason. what holds . dog t.
his masters side in the face oil
certain and painful death!

"It is really comical to read
the different accounts of the
srherrien rally at Askov recent
ly as given by the Special Cor

can. Someone must have had an
awful pipe dream. but the re-
turns at election time will UNI
doubtedly tell which one it was"
Pine County Courier.
The significant part of those
reports is that the one in the
Pine City papers (which was
idcntically the same in both
papers) was written by a Staff
Correspondent" as above referred
to and the report in the Ameri-
can was witten by its editor and
backed by the American. AS a
newspaperman Editor Colby
should know that that makes
considerable difference. The
staff correspondent is most likely
one who is only writing during
this campaign. Neither of the
Pine City editors were at the
meeting but the American editor
was and we are backing oul
statements. Colby's idea Of tn.

The Pine City newspapers are
hard after the scalp Of County

failed to get a slice out of the

policy of their paper is the policy

this instance it would seem that

sAvAeEs NOT ALL FIERCE
Travellers Have Told Of Tribes in the
West indies Who Were Models
Of Morality.

The white man has often demor-
allied savages who before had been
models of morality. The Cards of
the West Indies were very warlike,
but travellers speak of these abb
origines first seen by Columbus as
having been the most gentle and
benevolent Of the human race.
Schomburgk, the traveller, who knew
the warlike Caribs well in their
home life, draws paradiselike pic
ture of their WAYS. He saw among
them peace, cheerfulness and simple
family affection, sacrificing friend
ship and gratitude.
Hops bears similar testimony of
the Paquans Of Dory. They live in
houses on piles over the water. He
speaks Of their mild disposition ;
their inclination for right and JUS
tice, the respect for the aged and
love for their children.
A tribe of kurubars i'm south In

men Of the fields. The farmers
know they would rather starve than
steal grain Of another's property.

John Bracken, Waterman, died
from fire and smoke. By his
side died his bull pup. When
they were found. after the smoke
and flame had stilled the dogs
barks for help. he was not at
the barred door, or at the block
ed window; he was found with
his head upon his dead master.
To make this true story the bet
ter one, let it be chronicled that
John Derrick, a friend, was so
severely burned in futile effort
to rescue man and dog that he,
too, may die.
Probably dogs do not reason
or think; the scientists are usual
ly right. Probably John Derrick
didn't think of anything but his
love for his friends when he
fought fire for their lives. Would
that more of us could learn the
lesson Of brotherhood as these
have learned it, man and dog.
Perhaps the little hero pup did
not die in vain, if his selfless
heroism brings home to us who
read, the lesson which John read
to us so many years ago.-Capi-
