DEATH IfUHE_PLAi£S.HENRY GABRIEL BURNED TO

DEATH.

The Fire Occurred Christmas Morningin Henry Hutchinson's Carriage Shopon Mechanic Street, in the Rear ofthe Globe Hotel.A fire which gutted the carriage shop

of Henry Hutchinson on Mechanic streetand caused the death of Henry Garrielof Red Bank by suffocation occurredabout half-past two o'clock ChristmaBmorning. The building is a frame struc-ture owned by A.. T. and Newton Dore-muB. It is in the rear of Frank Gray'sblacksmith shop and adjoins the sashand blind factory of Ira Voorhees. Itstands within a few feet of the rear ofthe Globe hotel.

The building was roofed with corru-gated metal, which prevented the flamesfrom breaking through the roof. It isthought the place had been afire sometime before the alarm was turned in.The firemen were on hand in a very ohorttime, and the fire was soon under control,but before it was put out it had burnedits way into the rear of Gray's black-smith shop and had also eaten a holethroughthe roof of Mr.Voorhees's build-

While the firemen were hau'.ing overthe burning embers in the south end ofthe building they found the half-charredbody of Henry Garriel, better known as" Old Hickory," who had gone into thebuilding shortly after midnight for anight's lodging. The body was foundin one corner of the building in acrouched position on the fragments ofsome carriage cushions. Garriel hadevidently died of suffocation before theflames reached him. .

The building was so clo3e to the Globehotel and to the Globe hotel stables thatat one tiine it seemed certain that thehotel and the stables would catch fire.The guests at the hotel were awakenedand were prepared to leave the Jiotel ata moment's notice should this he. neces-sary. When the firemen once got theirapparatus at -work; however, the firewas soon under control and no movingfrom the hotel was necessary. r ,

Alfred Carhart, president of Independ-ent fire company, was in the burningbuilding fighting the fire when he wasovercome by smoke. lie had to be cur-ried out of the building, but he soon ro-vived when he was brought to the open

The origin of the fire is not known,but it is supposed that Mr. Gamcl hadlighted a match after he had got in thebuilding, either to find his way about,or to light hia pipe, and that he hadthrown the lighted match on the floor,thus starting the fire. The buildinghad been used as a paint room as wellas a workshop, and the floor was satur-ated with oil and paint.

' Mr. Garriel had no clone relations. Hisnearest relatives were two nieces, MissBertha Wainwright of Red Bank andMrs. AdamLinzmayerofNavesink. Thebody was taken to R. T. Smith's un-dertaking establishment, where it wasviewed by Coroner John I. Sickles, who

f ave a permit for burial. The body waseld at the undertaking establishment

until Saturday morning, when it wasburied in the Methodist church cemeteryat Little Silver. ,

Mr. Garriel was 52 years old. He hadbeen living with friends at Eatontownbut had said on Christmas eve that onaccount of his boarding house being filledwith holiday guests he would "bunk"at the carriage shop that night, as hehad often done before.

Several wagons, sleighs and wagonimplements were destroyed in the fire.The total loss will reach about $1,000,with a partial insurance. Some of thegood3 destroyed belonged to LemuelKetchem, Charles DuBois), George Ogil-vie and William S. Voorhees of RedBank, and William Wilson of Middle-town.

There was no insurance on the build-ing and it will not be rehuilt.

COUNTRYJjOTEL SOLD.THE.. t p i / T ' S NECK HOSTELRY

BOUGHT BY LOUIS SNYDER.

He Purchased It From Fred Luther—The Price Paid Was $10,000— TheHotel is Nearly 200 Years Old, andis a Fine Hotel Property.Last week Louis Snyder of Eaton-

town bought Fred Luther's hotel atColt's Neck for $10,000. He will takepossession the first of March. At pres-ent Mr. Snyder is living with his brother,T. Elwood Snyder, proprietor of thehotel at Eatontown. He was formerly ;employed in Henry Kroener's store atRed Bank.

The hotel was built in 1717 and is oneof the oldest hostelries in the state. Theframe of the oldest part of the hotel is ofhewn oak and is still in first class condi-tion. The sign board of the hotel bearsa picture of the neck and head of a colt.The board was put up when the hotel ^-Jwas first built, but the sign has been" Vrepainted several times. Before thebattle of Monmouth in the Revolutionarywar, part of the American army passedthrough Colt's Neck and some of the"soldiers stopped at the hotel.

Additions have been made to the build-ing from time to time and it is now oneif the finest country hotels in the:ounty. City people find Colt's Neck arood place to spend their summer vaca-Jions and during the past few yearsquite a boarding house business has>een done in the village. As many of;he boarders as can find accommodationsat the hotel stop there. The hotel alsodoes a good bar trade and it is one of themost profitable country hotels in the".ounty. *• •

Some of the former proprietors of thewtel were .lames and RobertLaird, William Church, James Mugeo, Sidney Mat-thewo, Capt. Stone, Jacob Brower, Au-gustus Manning, Thomas Snyder HolmesMessier and Charles Thompson. Onlyone of these men is nowialive. This isRobert Laird, who is engaged in the dis-tillery business at Scobeyville. The onlyfatality which occurred at the hotel-wasduring the proprietorship of HolmesMessier. He was subject to spasms.One night while walking across a roomhe was seized with a1 spasm and fell ona hot stove. He was terribly burnedand died a few wpoks later from hia in-juries.

During the hotel's existence of nearly201) years only once was its license re-fused. This was when the late HenryDcNyac Hendrickaun applied for a li-cense. At that time the hotel was ownedby Thomas Holland and Australian ,•Kelly. The fight over the hotel licensecaused a groat deal of bitterness in thevillage and many friendships werebroken.

Mr. Snyder is a son of Thomas Sny-der, who formerly conducted the hotel.Thomas Snyder sold the hotel to CharlesThompson and he in turn sold it to Mr.Luther. Mr. Luther bought the hotelten years ago. He was formerly en-gaged in the butcher business at Free-hold. A short time after he bought thehotel a barn on the place was burneddown, bitt the other'out-Buildings and"the hostelery were saved after a hardbattle with the flames.

Mr. Luther will build a house for hisown occupancy on a farm which he ownsat Colt's Neck. This plaee is farmedby John Matthews, Jr. Mr. Luther isengaged in the horse business and he in-tends to continue this occupation. Hehas rented the hotel stables for this pur-pose from Mr. Snyder.

TWO. SUCCESSFUL GIRLS.ABE NOW AT THE TOP

OF THEIB PROFESSION.

They are Miss Ella S. Leonard andMrs. Caroline G. Lingle Overman—At One Time They Owned and Con-ducted an Atlantic Highlands Paper.A number of yeara ago two bright

young women bought tho Atlantic High-lands Independent. They were MissEllaS, Leonard and Miss Caroline Lingle.Theytiiiade the paper better than it hadever been, but they thought their ener-gies devoted in other lines in some otherfield would bring them larger pecuniaryresults. They left New Jersey andwent to New York City,,.and they arenow among the most successful bookletdesigners and writers in the country.Since leaving Atlantic Highlands MissLingle has married and her name now isMrs. Caroline L. Overman.

A recent issue of the New York Sun-day Journal gave a page write-up of anumber of young women who are mak-ing plenty of money in New York andthus maintaining their independence.In the article Miss Leonard was quotedas saying: " A sense of humor is mostessential in a successful writer of book-lets. Of course, this is true of almostevery profession, but particularly' trueof thi3. It not only needs it to put acertain touch into your work, but itlightens the burdens and enables one totake the knocks with a smile. It ismanifestly impossible to be a one-ideaedwoman in this business, for you mustput all prejudices and your own personaltasteB aside and be able to make a per-son from New Orlenns buy woollenflannels because he thinks he can't dowithout them, as well as to sell icecreamfreezers to those departing for polarexpeditions. You have to he familiarwith the artist fraternity, the news-papers and magazines, their peculiar*Hies, their circulation, their'fads. Youmust know all about printing and artengraving, and be familiar with everyposition on a paper, to keep track ofpaper mills, their supply and output;and a thousand and one things besides.In short, one not only has to become aJack of all trades, but a master of all ofthem as well. To the woman that fillsthe bill, though, there is no more lucra-tive field than that of advertising."

Mrs. Overman is responsible for someof the brightest and cleveress advertis-ing posters that meet the eye in streetcars and magazines. For instance, she isasked to get up a catchy illustrationsetting forth a new manufacture ofwash goods. She next works out andidea and either gets models or securesphotographs, or else gets an artist whomshe employs to work out the idea forher. _

TOWN

ff The Christmas tree question, consid-ered from the viewpoint of the trees,has been taken up tins year by theforestry division of the government. Ithad been urged thut the cutting of theevergreen trees required for Christmastrees depleted the forests and causedan unnecessary destruction of futuretimber. To this tho forestry peoplereply that to furnish a Christmas treefor every other family in the UnitedStates would require an area of only3,000 acres per year; while more than100,000 acres per clay are required tofurniuli the 'lumber used in this country.

*' * *Most of the Christmas trees now used

in the Kaet come from Maine or thenorthern part of New York state.They-are bought in carload lota. It hasbeen suggested that waste lands in thispart'of New Jersey which are too hilly ortoo barren for farm use could be prof-itably planted to evergreen trees, foruse ns Christmas trees, These treescan be cut when they ai'fl four to teilyears old, according to the size wanted,and there must be hundreds of acres ofland in Monmouth county which couldbe thus made to produce a profitablecrop. The forestry people urge thatthis be done, in order to help conservethe natural resources of the country.

* * •

The' conservation of the natural re-sources of tho country is one of thegreat problems of the immediate future.These'.natural resources are of manykinds, from trees to mountains, andfrom brooks to men. President Roose-velt did one of the greatest acts of hisofficial life when he called a conventionthis year to take the initial measurestoward preserving the natural resourcesof the country. The lumber, the min-erals in the earth, the oils under thesurface, the soil itself, the streamswhich, furnish water for household useor for -water power, aro all part of thenatural resources of the country, andshould be handed down without wasteto posterity. . They belong, not to thisgeneration alone, but to all succeedinggenerations as well. On these naturalresources must depend, in the end, theprosperity of the people.

* * •At Llie present time lln;U« miourcou,

instead of being held by the country forHie advantage of all the people, are heldby a fe\v individuals fortheirown profit.The man who firat staked out mineralor oil lands holds them for his own bene-fit, regardless of the inherent rights ofevery person on earth to these resources.Streams which furnish water for house-hold cotjsuinption are held by individualsor corporations, for the advantage of afew at the expense of all others. Theindividuals or corporations holding t.hesnstreams' as their private property didnothing to create these streams. Underthe shelter of laws enacted oftentimesfor the express purpose of despoilingthe public of their natural rights, theyhave bejen seized upon and held as anieans of levying tribute from thoac towhom they rightfully belong.

* * *Durirtg the past generation this ex-

ploitation of the many for the enrich-ment of a few has gone to enormouslengths. Almost every natural resource-has been thus seized upon. There is

• hardly tc Irigtiwiiy l/utr has boon • madesubject to some private franchise. Thisfranchise is frequently not used at all,but is hjld for some future time, whenit will be forced to yield tribute eitherfrom th$ people-, who may want to usethe franchise themselves, or from somecompany or corporation to whom the f ran-chise has become necessary.1 Streamshave been seized upon, mineral landsgrabbed, oil lands taken in violation ofevery logal statute, and timber landsinvaded and destroyed. All this has beendone in,order that a few persona couldbe made; wealthy at the expense of allthe people of the land.

» * • " " •

But a ghivngc is at hand. The workof President Koosevelt, not only in call-ing attention to the preservation of ourresources, but also in forcing legal pro-ceedings against the men and the cor-porations engaged in plundering the peo-ple, is ntt outward sign of the change inthe minds of the people. A generationago it was deemed a mark of great busi-ness abiljty to thus seize upon public do-mains nnd hold them for private profit.No longer is this the case. Great thievesare beginning to be field in reprobationin the public mind, though they may stillbe held in esteem by certain high of-ficials wljo obtained ollice while the oil'manner of things was in vogue.

*> * •

IThrough President Roosevelt a num-

ber of persons high in office have beenpunished'for their plundering of thepeople. 'Officials standing even as highin office as United Stater, senators havebeen put in prison through hiii vigorousmethods of prosecuting rascals of highdegrje. .Others have bean "tripped oftheir pow'fcr and forced into private life.Still others see the handwriting on thewall and; are changing their taclic.i orretiring from the paths in which theirfortunes were made, pome few, put-ting on a garb of sanctimonious hypoc-risy, are giving away part of Hie for-tuneo they acquired by luwlesimemi andby outrageous disregard of the people'srights, anil are making pretences ofgreat pietSy >» tl" ln giving up a nemitportion of what they stole from thepeople. ,V

For thc(old things are passing awnyand a nev^onler in coming. Big thievesare no lringer held in respect by thopeople, '(o bo sure thoro aro still many

who hold that BO long as a man hasmoney he is a perfect man, no matterhow he got his wealth; and this condi-tion will probably always hold good witha few. But gradually there is comingto the minds of the people the beliefthat a big thief is as bad as a little one;and that he who acquires great wealththrough evasions of the law, or throughthe passage of laws designed for bisspecial benefit, is not a good citizen nora good man, but a being >vho should besuppressed by the law and who shouldreceive the condemnation of all goodcitizens. The change is coming and itis coming fast.

The Long Branch Record has put up aholler against Sheriff Hetrick becauseof the service fees which must be paidfor serving sheriff's papers at Long-Branch. The Record declares) that inmaking out the list of fees to be chargedfor this purpose, there is discriminationagainst Long Branch.

i * * •

The fees which officials must chargefor the service of papers is regulated bylaw. The amount is fixed by the dis-tance from the sheriff's office, and thelaw declares that the fees must be fixedaccording to the shovteBt railroad ser-vice, provided railroad communicationexists between the two places. Underthis law Sheriff Hetrick fixed the feesto be charged for the service of papersat Lonjr Branch and at all other placesin tho county.

Sheriff Hetrick has made no discrim-ination against Long Branch or againstany other town in the county. He hassimply figured the fees according to thelaw, and he would be liable for damagesif he fixed them in any other way. Ifthe Record considers that this is dis-rimination, its only recourse is to move

Long Branch nearer to the county seat,or move the county seat nearer to LongBranch, or get a direct railroad linefrom Long Branch to the county seat.

+ * *

Advertising farm Sales.Advertising" an auction sale of farm goods is a little

different from advertising ordinary store goods. Whena merchant advertises store goods, if a customer doesnot come along today, he may come along tomorrow,and so there's no telling how long the good effects of agood advertisement in a good paper may last.

But with a sale of farm goods it's different. Thereis only one day in which the farmer who has the saleexpects customers. They must come to him that day ornot at all. When the day is over his goods are sold, andthey have brought good prices or small prices accordingto the number of persons present who are interested inthe things disposed of.

The aim of the man who has a sale is to let as manypeople as possible know about it, who are likely to be

, interested in it. The way to do thatis to tell about it in The Red BankRegister.

I suppose The Register goes intoninety per cent of the homes in allthis part of the county where anypaper at all is taken.

Let any farmer go to the post-office when the Wednesday eveningmail comes in and see how manyRegisters are taken in his homeoffice

Let him notice how very fewhomes there are which take any

paper at all, where The Register is not taken; and lethim observe that it is The Register which is in almostevery case the favorite family newspaper.

That will convince him that The Register will carrythe news of his sale directly into the Eomes where hewants it carried.

It will show him that every man who is likely to beinterested in his sale will learn all about the sale if it isadvertised in The Register.

The Register covers the field.It goes into 4,350 homes every week.

The absolute correctness of thecirculation statement of The RedBank Register is guaranteed by thepublishers of Rowell's AmericanNewspaper Directory, who will pay$100 to the first person who suc-cessfully controverts its accuracy.

We have solda number of them, and in every case the purchasershave been more than pleased. It was only by or-dering these monuments in very large quantitiesthat w« were enabled to get them at figures whichpermit us to sell them at $100, and they are be-yond question the finest monument ever offered atanywhere near the price nampd.

I part with thee, old year.

111 keep in mind the bygone days,'Round memory will they cling;

111 brush a tear for a missing voice,Recall a vacant chair;

At the sad and 6olemn hour of night,I part with thee, old year.

Thy race is iun, brief is thy stay,Thy bells no longer peal;

Farewell, old worndut castaway,For thee a pang I feel.

Soon will the new, with rosy hue,'Mid joyous shouts appear,

And with a melancholy sigh "I say farewell, old year.

Telephone users may help the telephoneservice:

By consulting the telephone directory be-fore making calls, thus obviating the manyerrors due to calling numbers from memory.By speaking directly into the transmitterin a clear, distinct voice.

By separating the figures of the telephone/number when making a call, for exampleRector 1234, Rector one-two-three-four.By correcting the operator if she repeatsthe number called incorrectly.

By holding the telephone receiver to theear until the called party answers, or somereport is given from tlic Central Oflicc.By being ready to talk when the calledparty answers. As a malter of courtesy,the person making the telephone callshould not oblige the called party to waithis convenience. ^

By auswciiiig leleplume calls promptly. Hthere is unusual delay in answering thetelephone, the operator may report" Don'tanswer" to the parly calling.

In telephone operating, the human ele-ment must be considered. The publicis human. Telephone operators arehuman. The hastily spoken word andits inflection conveys whatever impressioneach gets of the oiher.

t {Continued from paije !,.)During the Christmas season just

• * +

""THE REGISTER likewise enjoyed a verygood holiday season. During the fourweeks preceding Christmas THE REGIS-TER issued each week a paper of 2<1pages, with seven columns to the page.This was the lanjost Christmas issue,extending over this number of weeks,which was ever issued by any countryweekly in New Jersey. Almost a ton ofpaper was used in each issue. A largeramount of Christmas reading matterwas published than had ever beforebeen offered to its readers by any otherpaper in the county. .

• • •

The patronage accorded to THE REGIS-TER by the merchants of Red Bankand the surrounding locality was alsovery large. Three of the holiday issuescontained over a hundred columns ofadvertisements each, a record which nocountry weekly in New Jersey has everequaled.

"P.ut he went lo school after he gotmarried," reminded Nnncy.

"Tlmt's because lie wanted lo," ex-plained Hobby. "If be didn't want togo he didn't have to. We won't wantto go." ,

l i e started to his feet, and Nancyobeillenlly followed. Had Bobby pro-posed a stroll to (he north pol>> shewould have followed with the samecontent, for was not Bobby wise withthe wisdom of full eight years, whileKh'e\boasted n scant Hlx?

It was a short walk to the minister'shome, and presently Bobby, brave buta triHe_ weals In (he Itnccs and with ahigher color on his face, was explain-ing lo the minister his desire to wed.

The Rev. Searrltt, grave and studi-ous, was shocked at tho suggestionnnd with gentle reproof at their Bnerl-lege turned thorn from ills study. Thereproof was lost on a determined mind,and when the door had closed Bobbyshook his tiny fist in the air.

"Just 'cause he's married be don'tcarp 'bout no one else," he said vin-dictively. "He's not tho only marrlerIn town, null!"

There wns ti wiirld of scorn in theexclamation, nnd Bobby's wrath washot. He had not understood what thelulnTiler was saying, but h(> had gathercd that be was being scolded foreven thinking of mnrrlngp, and thisunder dip very eyes of his beloved.

There wore three other ministers Intown, but none of them was at home,and liuhhy turned toward i'ie tiredNancy.

"It 's no use," he said, with a tightenIng of the <]iiivoHng Up. "We've got togo to Itlverslde."

Nancy Ijlinkrrt ImcU the tears nndput her hand In bis. ' •

"It 's dreadful bard getting married,"she Raid. "Do all people have troublelike this?"

"When (hey elope," explained Bobbycalmly. "You don't have lime to fix IIwith the minister."

"I don't think Hint 'loplng'H muchfun." ventured Nnncy. but Bobby'slook silenced her. Together theyIvc.ilgi'il HIIMIJ; In Kllence until thelloiises were passed and the road toItlversldp lay liare and lonely beforthem.

The shadows were dosing In, andthere were < liuu|i!i of trees that mad|iuIches of dark. Just the sort thathoars love to hide In.

For the benefit of his lady Bobbykept up a brave front, but bin chmp ontho tired, dirty little hand that lay^ t h l n Ills own tightCIIIHI when the

i.places came,, nnd tho Bturdy lita were urged to greater speed

until the danger point was passed.The dnrk was closing In now, and

Nancy's plump little legs were not asstrong as Bobby's, and, though shebravely sought to hold the pace, shelagged behind.

At last. In spite of her fortitude, shehad to give In and sank with a littlesob on the grass beside the roadway.

"I just can't go any more, Bobby,"she wailed. "It seems like we 'mostwalked round the earth."

"It's only a little way now," urgedBobby, "an' maybe the minister willask us to stay for supper."

The mention of food was the laststraw. Fatigue had prevented thethought of hunger, but now Nancyknew that she was famished.

A school lunch la not calculated tolast until 7 o'clock, and Nancy remem-bered that there was to be jelly cakefor supper.

At the sound of the sobs that shookher tiny frame Bobby knelt beside heirand sought to check the (low oftears, but not until she bud cried her-self to sleep on Bobby's shoulder didsilence come.

Bobby himself felt very much likecrying, but that would never do, andhe held back the tears while he staredbravely Into the dark, his, arm protectlngly about the sleeping Nnncy.

It seemed to him ages passed nn hesat there In tlie silence and the dark.No wagons came along, though oncean automobile shot past at a speedthat rendered bis cry unavailing.

The passing of the car ouly servedto make the loneliness the more pro-nounced, and when two more greatyellow eyes shone far down the roadBobby gently lowered the golden headfrom his shoulder to I he grassy Imnknnd sprang to his feet. Perhaps If hewaved his arms they would see andstop.

Nearer and nearer came the lights,and he stood directly in the yellowpatch the lamps made lu the whiteflust of (lie rnnd. To his great reliefthe car slowed down, and from be-hind the curtain of light that halfblinded the tired eyes came the wel-come sound of a familiar voice. Bobbysprang forward to throw himself Intothe strong arms of his big brother,

"You're, a line pair of runaways,"cried Howard. "We have boeu search-ing the roads for near'^two hours."

"Is Nancy with you':1 demanded ananxious voice from the car, and Bobbyknew that Nancy's sister was theretoo.

She gave a little cry when Flo wardbrought the girl to her and coveredthe tear stained face with kisses.Howard made up a bed in the touneaufor the children and ran on to wherethe road permitted a turn towardhome. Bobby was not sleepy now,and he stood leaning over the back otthe front sent watching the car eatup the road.

"We was eloping lovely," he saidplaintively, "uutll Nancy got tired.Now I s'pose tills spoils It all."

"I guess it does, old man," wn3 thelau.gb.lug comment. "Suppose that yougive me your proxy."

"What's proxy?" demanded Bobbycuriously.

"It's this way," explained Howardas he let the car slow down. "If youwant to do**M>metbing, but don't havetime or forBsome other reason youcan't, you appoint a proxy to act foryou. I appreciate highly your endeavorsto unite the Hartmau and Seaton fam-ilies, but, since your scholnstlc dutiesprevent the consummation of yourlaudable Intentions, I propose Unit youconstitute me your proxy lu the prem-ises. I might add that lu considerationof this demonstration of your confi-dence in my Integrity 1 am preparedto reciprocate with the donatiou ofone bright silver half dollar in the coinof the realm."

Bobby regarded his brother suspi-ciously. He never could tell just whatHoward was up to when ho used thebig words, but the proffer of a halfdollar was a business proposition, andhe stretched out his band.

The exchange was made and How.-ard turned to the girl.

"Etta," he unid gently, "It would bea shame to frustrate the plans of thesetwo Innocents. Don't you think, dear,that you might act for' Nancy andmake this marriage by proxy an as-sured fact?"

For n moment the girl hesitated,theu she half turned lu the sent.

"It would be n shame—to spoil theirplans," she snldaently. "I think—Ishould like—to act ns Nancy's proxy,dear."

Very Many Ordinary Folk Had Mon-archa for Ancestors. •

A Duke of Norfolk once, Inspired bya generous fit, announced his intentiondt entertaining at dinner all the How-ards In existence who were related tohim, the duke of course being the headof the Howard family. He set agentsto work to seek out his relations, buthad to abandon his proposed "littleparty" when he was assured that some-thing like 20,000 people would have aright to come to It.

In the EULUO way an astonishing num-ber of people might be able Jo claimkinship not with mere dukes, but withroyalty, If they only knew all aboutthemselves. The, heirs of monarchswho have died on their thrones arecomparatively easy to trace and are,roughly speaking, fairly well known.

In this way. for Instance. It was nosecret that the lute Sir William Har-court was descended from the Plan-tagenet kings, and several gentlemenwho bear no other legal designationthan plain Mr. are known to have royalblood lu their veins.

This does not apply to klngg whohave lost their thrones. King Harold,the last Saxon sovereign of England,was the son of Earl Godwin. When liewas slain at the battle of Hastings heundoubtedly left children behind him.Some of them fled abroad to escapefrom William the Conqueror, but oth-ers remained In the country, wherethey sank Into poverty and obscurity,but they married and had childrenThere Is at least a chance, therefore,that every one named Godwin or Good-win Is related lo a royal family.

Kl'ig Pilchard III., whom we all knowso well ns the wicked Duke of Glouces-ter. Is popularly believed to have beouchildless when he fell at Bosworth, butsome historians hold that there Isplausible e'videnee that lie left n sonThis son, to escape the death or cap-tivity to which he woUId have beci1

doomed by the victorious Henry VIIhad he been captured. Is said to havotaken a common name nnd retired IntoSomersetshire, where he died as n petty farmer.

The whole story may be a myth, butthere is nothing Impossible about It.and the descendants of King Itichard'snameless son may be numbered rtmonp:ordinary working folk.

All the Clarkes have n right, if theylike, to think that they may be con-ueeled with royalty—albeit, royally of« somewhat dubious sort, When Dr.Samuel Johnson was doing so much tomake Fleet street fnmous there wasalive in Europe an adventurer whocalled himself the Baron Theodore Ste-phen de N'euhoft. He found his way toCorsica and assisted the C'orslcans toget free from the republic of Genoa,which was ruling the Island in a tyran-nical manner, lu return they proclaim-ed him Uin ; under the title of Theo-dore I.

His royally was brief, however. Hehad frequent quarrel with the Corsl-cans and finally quitted the island. Ul-timately he drifted to/London, wherehe kept up a sort of shabby geuteel re-gal style. But at last he was arrestedfor debt and remained in prison forsixteen years. 'When released he wasbroken down nnd old and died In thehouse of a poor tailor.

The king of Corsica had a granddaughter who married an official In thecustom house named Clarke. The fainHy became very poor, and all genuinetraces of them have been lost. Cut ItIs open to any Clarke who pleases toImagine dial he is n descendant of tliedashing, unlucky Theodore.

A lot of people have claims to belong to a much more distinguishedfamily. Kindly folk still In the landof the living have employed a meekold charwoman who called herselfMiss Pnley and was glad to earn ashilling In odd ways. Nothing concernIng her ancestry could be definitelyproved, but there was reason for be-lieving that she.'was a descendant ofConstantino Pnlacologus, the last Greekemperor of Constantinople.

Constantino was killed when theTurks cnplurcd his capital In 1453.und his family nnd relatives had toflee for their lives. Some of themcame to England, and there are livingthousands of his descendants.

There Is a general Impression thatthe old royal family of Stuart Is ex-tinct. This, however, is a mistake.Stuarts nnd Stewarts scattered allover Britain can claim kinship withthe old royal family.

In ancient days there used to beabout a dozen kings reigning in Ire-land nt once—the king of Derry, ofMunslcr. of Connr.ught. and so on.They are nil gone now, but GO manyof their 'descendants are alive thatpractically every Irlshmnn has n rightto fancy lili>i«i>|f rnli-teil to royalty Ifhe wants to.

LL kinds of hunting onhorseback — a u d mosthunting on horseback isclone •with hounds—tendto bring out the best andmanliest qualities in themen who follow them,

and they should be encouraged inevery way. Long after the refleinan,as well as the game he huntg, shallhave vanished from the plains, thecattle country will afford fine sport Incoursing hares; and both wolves anddeer could be followed and killed withpacks of properly-trained hounds, andsuch sport would be even more excit-ing than still-hunting with the rifle.It Is on the great plains lying west ofthe Missouri that riding to hounds willIn the end receive its fullest develop-ment as a national'pastime.

But at present It is almost unknownIn the cattle country; and the ranch-man who loves sport must try stlll-hunting—and by still-hunting Is meantpretty much every kind of chase whereu single man, unaided by a dog, andalmost always on foot, outgenerals adeer and kills it with the rifle. To dothis successfully, unless deer are veryplenty and tame, implies a curtainknowledge of the country, and a goodknowledge of the habits of the game.Tho hunter must keep a sharp look-outfor deer sign; for, though n man soongets to have a general knowledge ofthe kind of places In which deer arelikely to be, yet he will also find thatthey aro either very capricious, or elsethat nu man has more than a partialunderstanding of their tastes and lik-ings; for many spots apparently justsuited to them will be almost uninhab-ited, while in others they will be foundwhere It would, hardly occur to anyone to suspect their presence. Anycause mny temporarily drive deer outof a given locality. Sllll-huuting, es-pecially, Is sure to send many away,while rendering the others extremelyttlld and ahy, uud where deer have be

Uicoine used to being pursued in onlyone way, It Is often an excellent planto try some entirely different method.

A certnln knowledge of how to truckdeer is very useful. To become a reallyskillful tracker is most dlflicult; andthere are some kinds of ground, where,for instance, it is very hard uud dry,or frozen solid, on which almost anyman will be at fault. But any one witha little practice can learn to do a cer-tain amount of tracking. On snow, ofcourse, It Is very easy; but on the otherhand it Is also peculiarly difficult toavoid being seen by the deer when theground is white. After deer have beenfrightened once or twice, or hnve evenmerely been disturbed by man, theyget the habit of keeping a watch backon their trail; and when snow has fall-en, a mnn is such n conspicuous objectdeer see him a long way off, and eventhe tamest become wild. A deer willoften, before lying down, take a halfcircle back to one side and make itsbed a few yards from its trail, whereIt can, itself unseen, watch any persontracing It up. A man tracking in snowneed3 to pay very little heed to thefootprints, which can be followed with-out effort, but requires to keep up thoclosest scrutiny over tho ground aheadof him, and on either side of thotrail.

In tho early morning when there isSin heavy dew the footprints will he as

I bulUt hail broken the, hacks of both.blal» no possible, lu tlio grass, and can

II'uen be roiiowea reaany; ana m anyplace where the ground is at all dampthey will Usually be plain enough tobe made out without difficulty. Whenthe ground is hard or dry the work isvery much less easy, and coon becomesso difficult as not to be worth whilefollowing up. Indeed, at all times, evenIn the snow, tracks are chiefly of useto show the probable locality In whichfl deer may bo found; and the still-hnnter Instead of laboriously walkingalong'a" Frail will do far belter to mere-ly follow it until, from its freshnessand direction, he feels confident thatthe deer Is in some particular space ofground, and then hunt through it, guid-ing himself by his knowledge of thedeer's habits and by the character ofthe land. Tracks are of most use inshowing whether deer are plenty orscarce, whether they have been in theplace recently or not. Generally, signsof deer are Infinitely more plentifulthan the animals themselves—althoughin regions whpre tracking Is especiallydifficult deer are often jumped with-out any sign having been seen at all.

Although still-hunting on foot is onthe whole the best way to get deer,yet there are many places where fromthe nature of the land the sport can befollowed quite ns well on horseback.Hum which there is no more pleasantkind of bunting. Tho best shot I evermnile in my life—a shot into which,however, I am nfraid the element ofchance entered much' more largelythan the element of skill—was madewhile hunting black-tall on horseback.

Wo were at that time making quitea long trip with the wngrm, find Wovegoing up the fork of a plains river inWestern Montana. As we were outof food, those two of our number whousually undertook to keep the campHtipplifd with jamc determined tomake a hunt off hack of the river afterblack-tull; for Ihmigli lucre were somewhite-tail In the more densely timberedriver bottoms, we had been unable toget any. It was arranged that thewagon should go on a few mils, andthen halt for tho night, aa it waa al-ready the middle • of the afternoonwhen we started out. The countryresembled in character other parts ofthe cattle pliilns, but it was absolutelybare of trees except along the bed ofthe river. The rolling hills slopedsteeply off into long valleys and deepravines. 1'hoy were sparsely coveredwitu coarse grass, and also with anIrregular growth of tall sage-brush,which In some places gathered intodense thickets. A beginner wouldhave thought the country entirely toobarren of cover to hold deer, but avery little experience teaches one thatdeer will be found In th.ieket3.0f suchshort and sparse growth that 'tt seemsas If they could hide nothing; and,what Is more, that they will oftenskulk round in sueb. thickets withoutbeing discovered. And a black-tall isa bold, free animal, liking to go out incomparatively open country, where hemust trust to his own powers, and notto any concealment, to protect himfrom danger.

Where the hilly country joined thealluvial river bottom, It broke off shortinto steep bluffs, up which none but aWestern pony could have climbed. Itis really wonderful to see what placesa pony can get over, and the Indiffer-ence with which it regards tumbles.In getting up from the bottom we wentinto a wash-out, and then led our po-nies along a clay ledge, from which woturned off and went straight up a verysleep sandy bluff. My companion wonahead; just as he turned off the ledge,and as I was right underneath him, hishorse, in plunging to try to get up thesand bluff, overbalanced Itself, and,after standing erect 011 Its hind legs fora second, cinne over backward. Thesecond's pause while it stood bolt up-right, gave me time to make a franticleap out of the way with my pony,which scrambled after me, and weboth clung with hands and hoofs to theside of the bank, while the other horsetook two as complete somersaults as Iover saw, and landed with a crash attho bottom of tho wash-out, feet upper-most. 1 thought It waa douo for, butnot a bit. After a moment or two Itstraggled to Its legs, shook Itself, andlooked round In rather a Bhame-faecdway, apparently not lu tho least theworse for the fall. Wo now got mypony up to the tup by vigorous) pulling,nnd then went down for tho other,which at tlrst Blrougly objected tomaking another trial, but, niter muchcoaxing and a i;ood deal of nlmiio, tooka utartfiml went up without trouble.

going with particular caution wnen-ever we went round a spur or came upover a crest. The country stretchedaway like an endless, billowy sea ofdull-brown soil and barren sage-brush,the valleys making long parallel' fur-rows, and every thing having « lookof dreary sameuess.

At length, as we came out on arounded ridge, three black-tail bucksstarted up from a lot of sage-brushsome two hundred yards away nnd be-low us, and made off down hill. Itwas a very 'Jong stiot, especially to tryrunning, but, as game seemed scarceand cartridges were plenty, I leapedoff the horse, and, kneeling, fired. Thobullet went low, striking in line at thofeet of the hindmost. I was very highnext time, making a wild shot aboveand ahead of them, which had the ef-fect of turning them, nnd they wenteff round a shoulder, of a bluff, beingby this time down in the valley. Hav-ing plenty of time I elevated the sights(a thing I hnrdly ever do) to four hun-dred yards and waited for their re-appearance. Meanwhile they had evi-dently gotten over their fright, forpretty soon one walked out from theether side of the bluff, and came to astandstill, broadside toward me. Hewas too far off for me to see hishorns.

As I was raising the rifle another step-ped out and began to walk towards thefirst. I thought I might as well ha_vens much of a target as possible to shootat, aud waited for the second buck tocome out farther, which he did im-mediately and stood still just .along-side of the first. I aimed above hisshoulders and pulled the trigger. Overwent the two bucks! And when Irushed dowii to where they lay I foundI had pulled a little to one side, andthe bullet had broken the backs ofboth.

While my companion was dress-ing them I went back and paced offthe distance. It was just four hundredand thirty-one long paces; over fourhundred yards. Both were large bucksand very fat, with the velvet hangingin slirods from their antlers, for it^waslate in August. The day was waningand we had a long ride back to thewagon, each with a buck behind hissaddle. When we came back to theriver valley it was pitch dark, and itwas rather ticklish work for our heav-ily laden horses to pick their way downthe steep bluffs and over the rapidstream; nor were we sorry when wesaw ahead-under a bluff the gleam ofthe cam;) fire, ns it was reflected backri«"•> MM' i-iiuvqa-toppeil prairie »r*wm

His legs hardly so much «s twitched.er, that for tho time being representedhome to us.

This wns much the best shot I evermade; and It ts just such a shot asany one will occasionally make If hetakes n good many chances nnd firesoflun at ranges where the odda aregreatly ngiiinst bis hitting. I supposeI had fired a dozen times at animalsfour or five hundred yards off, andnow, by the doctrine of chances, I hap-pened to hit; but I would have beenvery foolish if I had thought for amoment that I had learned how to hitat over four hundred yards. I haveyet to see the hunter who can hitwith any regularity at that distance,when he has to judge it for himself;though I have Keen plenty who couldmake such a long range hit now nndthen. And I have noticed that" sucha hunter, In talking over his experi-ence, was certain soon to forget Uienumerous misses he made, and to say,nnil oven to actually think, that his oc-onsl&'nal -hito represented his averageshooting.

Onn of the finest blnclc-tnll bucks 1ever shot wns killed by lying out In urather unusual place. I was huntingmountain-sheep. In a stretch of veryhigh nnd broken country, nnd aboutmid day, crept cautlouoly up to theeilgo of a great gorge, whose sheerwall!) went nlnilght down several hun-dred feet. Peeping over the brink ofthe chasm I snw it buck, lying out ona ledge no narrow ns to barely holdhim, right on tho faeo of tho cliff wallopposite, some distance below, nndabout seventy yards (MuRonally

from me. He lay with hfs legs hairstretched out, and his head turned soas to give me an exact center-shot athis forehead; the bullet going In be-tween his eyes, so that his legs hardlyso much as twitched when he receivedIt.

It was toilsome and almost dan-gerous work climbing out to where helay; I have never known any otherIndividual, oven of this bold and ad-venturous species of deer, to take itsnoonday siesta in a place so barren ofall cover nnd so dlflicult of accesseven to tlie most sure-footed climber.This buck was ns fat as a prize sheep,and heavier than any other I haveever killed; while 'his antlers alsowere, with two exceptions, the best Iever got.

"I did, but no one answered.""All, then, didn't you notice a sign

"Yes. The placard said 'Out '""Then she's out. That's her sign,

When Japan Cleans House.

The unexpected Japanese guest smiledat the dismantled drawing room, madehis way carefully between a broom auda pail of water, and, kicking aside abar of soap that had nearly oversethim, he said:

"You call this a houseeleaulng. Well,in Japan we'd call It nothing. We arcrequired by law over there to bavo fourhousecleanlugs a year that are, Indeed,housecleanings. Everything goes outIn the street. Everything down to thebare walls must be taken from everyJapanese house four times a year andset out upon the sidewalk; then allmust be thoroughly cleaned. Last ofall, government officials come aud disInfect and fumigate the cleaned dwell-ings and the cleaned possessions. Ja-pan is a strange sight on those fouraiiniuil <M>>nuing days.

How Macaroni is Made.

This is how macaroni Is made: Tovery glutinous wheat flour Is added aplentiful supply of dried eggs. Mixedwith water, this becomes a dough,which is so thickly kneaded as to bedifficult to. Impress with the fingers.Then it Is carried to a round pressperforated with holes, through whichthe dough Is pressed by means of aheavy plate worked by ajBcrew.
