Her remains were brought to Brookville on Tuesday and taken to the home of her » ister, Mrs. George L.

Many have heard the story of oue of the English Georges who one day invited to his table a somewhat boorish but deserving subject. This person committed the social crime of pouring tea into hi* saucer, to the visible horror of his fellow guests. But the King, the gentlemanly George, hero-like, followed suit, in order at once to rebuke his courtiers, and to relieve the embarassment of one whom he had chosen to honor. A similar instance of royal self-denial once occurred at the polite court of the second king of England, William Kufus, or the Red. King William had been hunting in the royal preserves, and was returning to his magnificent brownstone castle, when he met a woodcutter at work by the wayside. The king, who always cherished the affection of his subnets, even the humblest, thus addressed the woodcutter: "Marry, my good fellow, by my troth, how art thou in good sooth'?" The woodcutter looked up, but did not recognize his sovereign, and so gave but a surly reply. "Go to," responded his majesty, somewhat provoked, "Have at thee, I am thy king, I trow." "Thou liest, I wot, methinks," said the peasant incredulously. The king angered by this retort let fly an arrow at the peasant, but missed him. The poor woodcutter then knew that it was indeed the king who had accosted him, for no one but a king oould shoot so badly. Falling upon his knees, he earnestly besought pardon for his insolence. William, whose passion was soon cooled, bade him rise, gave him a purse of gold, and invited him to attend at court that very evening.The woodcutter eager to behold with his own eyes those splendors of which he had so often heard, came in good season to the king's apartments. In spite of the court dress with which he bad been provided, and in spite of his affected good-breeding, the strong alooholio breath which ne brought Into the presence of the assembled ladies betrayed his inherent bad manners. The ladies tossed their heads, the courtiers did not scruple to sneer. King William, after welcoming the poor peasant with great kindness, left the room. Shortly after he returned with a breath whioh rivalled in length of reaoh that of his humble friendT The oourtiers keenly felt the rebuke whioh had been so justly yet so delicately administered. All in turn followed the lead of their truly noble sovereign, and it was soon impossible to decide which of the assembled hwaths pertained to the lowly peasant. This aneodote shows that whatever evil William may have done, he atleast powcssed the instinct of a gentleman.—E. L.

At 4 a. m. Thursday he asked for a drink of water. About an hour later he aeemed ill, but his parents thought slightly. At 9 o'clock they ex iled in a physician. He kept on growing worse and died early in the afternoon. There are several rumors afloat a-s to the cause of his death. One is that he ate while in the woods some poisonous plant. Another that he jumped and hurt himself, but these are contradicted, or at least are not substantiated, and there is no authenticated name of his disease. It is only known that bright little Charlie is dead and that his parents and sisters and brothera are grief stricken and have the sympathy of hosts of friends. The funeral services were held in the Catholic church Sunday at 8:30 a. m. The interment was in the West Reynoldsville cemotery. The recent drowning tragedy calls to mind deaths by drowning in this vicinity many years ago. Two girls, Mary Ann Hannah and Mary Ann Painter, were drowned in the dam at Presuottville. They were young *>Ms about fourteen years of age, and one j'i >t,ud in to save the other, who hod i.UI< n in, and they died together. Several youa ago Harry Daey, a boy ten or eleven yoars of age was drowned in S mrty Lick w >i a in swimming. Probably the next winter i vo boys a Martin and T irroll, were skating and went under the lee and were drowne.l. Strange to say that all the boys that have met death in this way their fanerals were held from the Catholic church. A small boy, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Taylor, was found near the Main street bridge in Sandy Lick some years ago. Parents c innot be to stringent in keeping their children away from the water. On Wednesday, April 30th, Mystic Commandery admitted a class of 68 black knights to the higher degrees. The work in the afternoon was exemplified by Supremo Generalissimo Sir John Gowland, of Philipsburg, and in the evening the Red Cross and Sepulchre degree were rondered by the degree staff of the Commandery. A social in Belt's hall and a banquet at Hotel Belnap concluded the festivit ies of tjbe day A feeble old man drunk on the streots was a pitiable sight Friday. He was trying to pick a fight out of a boy about 7 years old. The little fellow could very easily have whipped the old man had he not been too manly. It is almost time for some other party to secure the right of way for another trolly line in Reynoldsville. Another will make about nineteen, and the trolly is still a back number. A little son of Mr. and Mrs Shannons, of Snydertown, died Thursday and was buried iu the Catholic ocmetery in West Reynoldsville, Saturday. The to this place, novel sight of a lady sitting in a bootblack's stand having her shoes polished was one of the attractions : one day last week.
