Pulitzer Would HaUe
Had Royal Birds Shot

Fitzroy Gardner, in his book. More
"reminiscences of an Old Bohemian"
tells this story about Joseph Pulitzer:
"On one occasion. having to stay one
night in London. and fearing that
his rest would be disturbed by street
traffic, he instructed his London rep
resentative to obtain at any cost the
use of some private house where no
traffic could be heard. One of the
mansions in Kensington palace gar
dens was rented for a week for the
purpose of a nights occupation.
Pulitzer was quite satisfied with the
arrangement until. in the early hours
of the morning, he was awakened by
the piercing shrieks. not many yards
away, of peacocks from Kensington
palace. He rang for his valet, gave
him a revoIver-PulitZer generally
had one-and told him TO go out and
shoot the birds. The valet, not dar-
Ing to disobey his master, did some
desultory firing: the neighborhood
was alarmed; police rushed to the
spot. and Pulitzer was seriously in
convenienced by the enforced TEN
porary absence of his servant"

Ancient Battle Ground

Spanish conquistadOrs, under the
leadership of the famous Cortez,
fought a desperate battle on the ia
nous golf course of the Los Angeles
Athletic club at the Riviera, near San
ia Monica, some time in the Sixteenth
century. This fact was brought to
light few days ago when Doctor Nor
ton, tree surgeon, unearthed piles Of
bones. which, because of their blue
color, he declared TO be at least three
hundred years old. says the Los An
geles Times.
Bedded in a great sycamore tree
which he is rejuvenating, Doctor Nor
ton first found a stone cannon ball,
fired by the Spanish cannon which the
eonQuerors of Mexico brought to the
shores of California. This led to the
additional discovery of the bones of
the soldiers who undoubtedly waged
var on the Indians they found here
81 dispute their conquest of the land.

Found Carlton Artist
Had a "Temper0nent"

II the SO Rockefeller bells of the
Park Avenue Baptist church, the larg-
est of which weighs 10 tons, peal a bit
timidly into the great chasm of Park
avenue just now, John d. Rockefeller,
Jr., is not to blame. He did his best.
Last year Mr.. Rockefeller imported
from Belgium Anton Brees, gay young
carillineur from the cathedral of Ant
werp. There was something delight
full about the artistic whOle-hearted-
ness with which the ringer. of bells in
dreamy, mystic Flanders tackled the
mighty city of New York His first
request was that all traffic on Park
avenue be stopped while he played
his chimes.
Now, as everyone knows, there is
nothing dreamy and impractical about
the church's trustees They tend
toward steel, oil and pig iron. A
great city cannot stop its traffic on
account Of bells, even though they
be made Of pig iron, they gently ex-
planned to Mr.. Brees. Also, would
ne please play things more familiar
which ring from the cathedrals of
Holland and Belgium mystified the
good people of New York.
Mr.. Brees vowed he would not
change his programs. Furthermore.
he declared he wanted a new apart
ment with private bath. He was tired
of living in the Y. NJ. G. A.
"a bath" exclaimed the trustees
of the Park avenue church. In con-
sternation they summoned Mr.. Rookie
feller. The latter was panied. Wasn't
Mr.. Brees making five times what he
made In Belgium?
Mr.. Brees admitted he was, then
added, with Flemish shrewdness, meet
ing the oil magnate on his own
ground, I've been told ! should save
half my salary"
did you have bath in Antwerp"
parried Mr.. Rockefeller. And scored,
100, for Anton Brees did not have one.
All morning they argued; then, to
Ais secretary's establishment, Mr..
Rockefeller ordered lunch served them
In his office. Following which they
argued all afternoon
Now the Flemish bell-ringer has
gone back to Antwerp, where cathe-
drals boast Rubenses and baths are
unknown. Percival Price, twenty-one
year-old Canadian, has taken his
place. The new artists music is as
yet bit timid, but this winter he is
being sent abroad to study under JO-
seph Denyn, who for 81 years has
played the Incompatible Seventeenth
century Hemony bells which hang in
the cathedral Of Malines. - New

holy night! the stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.

In all trials born to be friend
He knows need He guardeth from danger,
