SHADES OF HUMPTY DUMPTY; CHANGE TO
 SEE KINGS HORSES

London, Aug. 1.-The Earl of Chesterfield lives up to his ancestral
 name, and any American in London who wants to visit the Kings stables
 at Buckingham may do so, and feel
 he Is welcome, unless by chance he
 has done something which causes him to be regarded with suspicion by Scotland Yard
 First he applies to the Earl, who is Master of the Horse' and once in receipt of the EarPs polite note giy- ing him permission, the rest is easv Few horses, even those of American mult1-mfllionaires, are better housed than those of the King, and no Amer 3can muld-miIhona unless he goes m Tor racing extensively, has so many of them.
 The stables are built in the form of quadrangle. Rows of wide, roomy stalls are on either side of long chamber, with a lofty arched roof Each stable can accommodate scores or animals, but the population of the Royal News has shrunk considerably in recent years until now but S5 spIen- did specimens of carriage and rid ing horses remain as against the nor nal figures of 165 in pre-war days. Special Duties.
 Each horse has his name over his manager, and has his special duty as- signed to him on the roll of the Master Of the Hourse. Here are the state coach horses, the special carriage pairs, the Queens barouche horses. the Kings chargers, the horses of the Prince of Wales, Prince Henry and others.
 The principal attraction of the coach houses is the great state coach which is used for coronations and a few other very special occasions when Royalty is expected to put on all the style it can muster. It weighs 4 1-2 tons. is 24 feet long and was built 16O years ago.
 In the adjoining harness room is dis played in large glass cases the eight sets of red morocco leather harness overlaid with gold used by the eight horses that draw the great state coach Each set of trappings is cut from a complete hide that there is no joint in the leather. Gunmetal over laid with gold was used for all the metal work, the eight sets costing l 900 pounds.
 The Master of the Horse has very little to do with the practical running of the, royal stables. That is done by Captain Benbow. He is far too great a parsonage for work of this kind. He is paid 2 500 pounds a year and must be a peer to be quali- fled for his position. He is a political appointee and when there is a change in the political complexion of the government he is among those who lose their jobs and have to make way for somebody who is of the same po- 1itical faith as the party that has some into power.

 Benny" has pulled a stunt that makes the "movies'' look pretty tame
 Someone dared him to let a train run over him. That was all Benny needed. He climbed an embankment, laid between the rails, and the train came chugging along.

When the train finally stopped the engineer saw Benny tearing down the tracks a mile minute, rowling his lungs out Scalding hot water from the engine dropped on "Benny's" face and 3esk.

 MT Mccormick met Mime. Wa1slxa when she was with the Chicago opera company-an institution of which he was a liberal patron. Even before Mime Walska got her divorce it was reported that MT. Mccormick was in love with her and would marry her if the opportunity occurred.
 MT. Mccormick underwent a Ire juvenated gland operation several months ago in Chicago. As soon as he recovered he came to Paris. He is said by his friends ro have been greatly benefited by the operation.
 Dudley Field Malone. attorney for Mme Wa1ska. announced about ten days ago that his client had received her divorce, but said it had not been made final. This action was expected within a short time, but public notice was not made of the fact.
 Mrs. Mccormick and her daughters. Mathilde and Murie1, lived for many years in Switzerland.

The Biggest
Grizzly's Last Fight

with his dogs and his assistants But the crafty
old bear was too wise for him. That season, for
the first time IN years, he changed his hunting
ground, and buried himself for the winter in
safety
Last summer Patterson returned to his fight
and bruin returned to his. One of the strangest
chapters in frontier history is this long duel be-
tween bear and man. Patterson discovered, to his
joy, that the killer had returned to his regular
haunts. He got his men and dogs together and
prepared for the final drive. He picked up the
trail without much difficulty this time, and fol-
lowed it eagerly. Broken twigs indicating the
passage of the animal found, at last the
marks of the big paws detected in the soft
earth. Patterson jubilant Then he found
that he had been tricked again. From point in
exactly the opposite direction from that in which
the bear should have been according to his trail
report that drove of cattle had been
raided. Patterson was caught short handed, but
he set off at all speed. He knew that the bear
could not have got very far from the scene of his
latest exploit, and he was pretty sure of the spot
for which he would probably make.
Patterson plunged into the stretch of forest
with young man who had never had any expert
ence in hunting wild animals. The hunters trained
assistants had all been lured off out of reach by
the strategy of the shrewd old animal. Even the
dogs which Patterson able to muster for his

shrewdest, most bloodthirsty, most elusive enemy
Of the white man that ever fought against the
Westward march of civilization. He has robbed
the ranchers- of cattle worth many hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. Now his huge 1,500-pound
carcass lies in the National Museum at Washing
ton. But he died fighting.
The v.story over the great bruin recalls the
"Castac Killer" of twenty-five years ago. THIS
beast for nearly generation had been too willy for
the hunters who had sought to bring him low.
He outwitted man, but machinery was too much
for him. When the first steam locomotive pene-
trated the wilderness over which he ruled he went
right for it. He tore into it with his characteristic
courage, but for once his attack failed to terrify
his adversary The mysterious black monster OF
steel and putting steam came straight on. The
bear, who had never learned fear, hurled his great
weight against it. To his amazement he was hfsed
off the ground and thrown roaring into the under
brush His powerful heart stopped beating, and ne
lay still Since then the grizzly who has just been
conqnered has had the lonely ranges to himself.
Every trick known to the expert hunters OF the
Southwest had been tried in the effort to snare
