HundsOrnest of All
VictOria1,s Passes,
Hating Ne,o Times
Lord Claud Hamilton
Extended Dislike to
Railroads, Cocktails
and Bathtlsbs.
By the Associated Press.

by tne Assocldteu rross
LONDON, February 4.-Undoubtedly
the best looking and best dressed
survivor of all the Victorians passed
this week with the death of Lord
Claud Hamilton. His father was the
first Duke of Abercorn. his mother
the daughter of the Duke of Bedford,
and any eye could tell at glance
that he was an aristrocrat. Taii'
naughty and handsome he was never
once seen on the street without q
top hat and either a frock coat or
d cutaWay
His mind was as rigid and as un-
compromising with modernity as his
wardrobe. Everything new was ana
thema to him-he would have none
of it. He never used an automobile
If 1t was at all possible to procure
a horse drawn vehicle. Bathtubs
fixed in their places he abhorred, pre-
ferring the still surviving Victorian
practice of having his servants bring
in a tub and several pitchers of hot
water.
Scorned Newer Things.
With equal acidity he scorned
monographs, turned up trousers and
safety razors. When the Carlton Club
installed central heating plant to
augment it's fireplaces he resigned
mem DerShlp ana IL was long time
before he could be persuaded to re-
join.
What Lord Claud Hamilton said of
cocktails easily shocked readers can
imagine for themselves when told
that he considered even so much older
1t drink as creme de menthe an out
rageous thing because he had not
been accustomed to it 80 years ago.
One reads. in tho words Of a friend
that he hated and despised the game
of golf as q kind of nom -conformist
intruder among the orthodox ball
games of the sos and COS.
Had Seat in House. "-
His lordship almost was So when
he died. From the age of % until
the year 1918 he sat at intervals in
the House of Commons and he would
have been there oftener but for not
infrequent rebuffs from an electorate
constantly increasing in size and de-
creasing in social tone.
One novel thing he did do In his
lifetime; as chairman of the Great
Eastern Railway he brought to Eng
land as general manager an Amer
lean, II. ". Thornton, who afterward
went to Canada to take charge of the
Canadian National lines.
Criticized for bringing an Amer
lean over to run his railway, Hamil-
ton quashed the critics with his usual
severity, telling them there was "a
dearth of first-class men" In British
railway circles.

OF course, Jumper couldn't say much
Finally they decided that Mrs. Buz-
zard must have changed her habits.
The fact is, she had slipped away for
a late breakfast each morning while
Peter and jumper were talking things
over by the tall, dead tree. She had
known that they were keeping watch.
and SO she had waited until she got a
chance to slip away unobserved. 1t
meant q late breakfast. but also it
meant keeping her secret. and that
was more important than an early
breakfast. So Peter and Jumper were

The stonecrops naturally come to

they show the same fascinating
growth habit-a protection against
the desert aridity of the sorts OF
places where they grow. Many kinds.
indeed, do grow in the sandy wastes
of the earth, and when we find our
few but pretty species strayed, as
they are into fairly rainy climate. we
get, as we gaze at them. something

a camel or an Arab.

cooked, place the chicken on a small

PETER RABBIT SAT AT THE
FOOT OF A GREAT STUMP.

in OF Mistah Buzzard. His interest
was all in OF Mrs. Buzzard. and he
patiently waited for her to arrive.
Over in the Green Forest only a 1T
tie way from where Jumper was wait
ing, Peter Rabbit sat at the foot Of a
great stump. Peter was waiting. He
was waiting for signal from Jumper
the Hare. Gradually the Black
Shadows left the Green Forest. Higher
and higher climbed jolly. round, bright
Mr.. Sun in the blue, blue sky. Peter
waited. Over by the BuZzard's tree
Jumper waited. Something was wrong.
Peter didn't have a doubt about it.
"Probably Jumper didn't get there
in time" grumbled Peter. Mrs. Buz-
zard always breakfasts before this.
BY this time she is always back on
her nest Yes, sir, Jumper must have
heen late and missed her. Perhaps he
wasn't there at all. I believe I'll run
over and find out if Jumper has been
there"
Peter waited a little longer. Then
he made up his mind that waiting was
merely wasting time there. So off he
went, lipperty-lipperty- as fast
as his legs could take him. right over
to the favorite, tall, dead tree Of OF
Afistah Buzzard. OF Mr.. Buzzard was
back on his favorite perch. He had
had his breakfast. But nowhere was
there any sign of OF Mrs. Buzzard.
Peter found Jumper at once.
"Well,'' said Peter GROSSLY, why
didn't YOU get here on timer
Il did get here on time" retorted
Jumper sharply II was here before
Jolly. round, bright Mr.. Sun even
started up in the blue. blue sky. OF
Mistah Buzzard was sitting up there
rast asleep when I got here. / saw
him go off to get his breakfast and
come back again
Then why didn't you see Mrs. BuZ-
zard?' demanded Peter.
For the very good reason that Mrs.
Buzzard hasn't been here" retorted
Jumper.
You've been asleep accused
Peter. you've been asleep and she
came and left while you were sleep
ing
1T is no such thing retorted
Jumper, growing very indignant. II
haven't dozed even once. Mrs. BuZ.
Yard hasn't been here, and that's all
there is to that
But she must have been," insisted
Peter. Il watched her yesterday and
the day before and the day before
that and the day before that, and
every morning she came over hare
end went back to her nest before this
time of day
That may be-" replied Jumper,
hut l tell you she hasn't been here
today Now if you don't like the way
I keep watch you can keep watch
yourself next time"
II WILL" said Peter.
So the next morning Peter kept
watch over by the tall, dead tree and
Jumper kept watch over by the stump
81 the Green Forest. The same thins
