The Playmates of Yesterday

o, where are the playmates of yesterday,
The fellows we knew in schoolf
Oh, what has become of the studious ones
And where, oh, where is the fool?
Oh, what has become of the orator,
Whose passion to recitef
And the bashful kid who could speak piece
Unless he succumbed to fright
Oh, what has become of the model boy,
Who was always the teachers pet?
And where, oh, where is the tough young nut,
The ne 'er forget?
The studious one, so have been told,
Is driving cab these days;
While the fool owns stock in bank or two,
And railroad that always pays
The orator that knew well
Is clerk in dry goods store;
While the bashful kid we know has been
In congress ten years more.
The model boy is behind the bars
For stealing neighbor's cow.
And you ask what of the tough young mutt
Oh, he's preacher now.

MARY NOT FIRST
 TO WED SUBJECT
Historians Recall Union Of Lady
 Joan and Do MOnthermer

London. Feb. 25,-(By Associated press) --rhe forthcoming marriage of Princess Mary to Viscount lascelles recalls that the earliest precedent Of a princess Of the royal household marrying one of hersfather's subjects was the union of Lady Joan, daugh- ter of Edward c'Longshanks') and Inc Earl of Gloucester and Hereford, The king had hoped to secure the carl's loyalty and support.
 Wedding In 1200.
 The wedding occurred In l2a0 when the princess was 19 years old. She was widowed when 23 years Of age and secretly married Ralph de Mon thermer. handsome squire who formerly had been in her husbands service. The kings fury when knowl- edge of the marriage reached him. resulted in the impri sonment of his son law, but the entreaties of his daughter finally secured her hus- bands release. The king in relenting summoned De Monthermcr to parlia- ment, made him privy councillor and invested him with many appoint ments of a lucrative nature. The lat ter marriage thus ran true to the modern love tale--love eventually crowned with happiness.
 The success of the Gloucester mar riage from the kings viewpoint, even though it was of short duration ow-
 ing to the death of the earl, encour- aged Edward in 1902 to give anoth-
 la; oIv of Rhuddian. to Humphrey De Be- hun, second earl of Hereford and first earl of Essex and lord high constable of England. This princess was then 20 years old and the widow Of Count of Holland, whom she mar ried when 15 years of age. The earl was killed in battle at Borough bridge while fighting against his brother-in-law, Edward H.
 The wedding of Lady Margaret, daughter of Edward III, also result ed unhappiy. Her husband was John Hastings. Earl of Pembroke. I'm, couple was married in 1859, when Margaret was 16 years old. She died two years later when her husband met with defeat at the hands of the French and was imprisoned by the Spanish and died of poi/ while awaiting ransom.
 Here's Real Romance.
 Perhaps the most romantic we'd ding of princess to subject of her father was that of Lady Isabella to Enguerrand, Sire De Coucy. En- guerrand was one of the hostages sent by King John II, surnamed "Le Bon,' king of France, 1350-64, after John had been defeated and captured by the British under the Black Prince son of Edward III, at Poitiers in 1856. mother was Haps- burg.
 Edward III developed a strong lik- ing for Enguerrand and persuaded him to become one of his subjects. His marriage to Isabella followed and he was made Earl of Bedford. But when Richard II became king, En- renounced his title, desert ed his wife and daughter and return ed to France and became marshal of France. He made crusade against the Turks and was taken pris- ,ner at Metropolis and died in cap- .ivity at Brusa.
 There was no similar marriage of l sovereigns daughter to subject 1ntil the reign of Queen Victoria when Princess Louise married the Duke of Argyle.

tempting to have Dr. Ohman accept the call for the past 12 years and were finally successful. T have at least 20 years of acting service left if the good Lord spares me-" said the pastor, "and during those years, hope to place this church among the largest ones of the denomination"
 Came Here in 1895
 On June IA, 1895, Rev. Dr. Ohman arrived in New Britain to succeed Rev. Q. W. Fern, who is now dead. The church was then at the corner of Elm and Chestnut streets, now the Jewish, Synagogue. There were exact -ly 3on members. Dr. Ohman came from Chicago. where he was superin- tendent of the Augustana hospital, a donominational institution. Previous to his work in Chicago, he was pas tor Of the Zion Lutheran church at Rockford. Ill., It was large Swed- ish-American institution.
 Born in Sweden.
 pr. Ohman was born in Sweden where he received half of his college seducation. Coming to this country when but a young man. he entered dthe college at Rock Island, Ill.,, grad 'uated with honors and completed his studies at the Rock Island seminary. Swedish Population.
 On his arrival in New Britain in 1895, the estimated population of the city was about 25,o00. Of these, there were approximately 5000 Swed- ish people. Today there are about 5000. The old Swedish Lutheran church was erected h 1SS3 It was considered Of poor construction and the congregation was not satisfied with it. The location and the size of the church did not appeal to the new pastor ard he suggested building one which would stand out as a beau tifu monument in the city.
