Rockefeller -- Sir Harry Lauder And Others From "Footloose in the British Isles," by Harry A. Franck, the "Prince of Vagabonds." "A retired laundryman living on East 7th Street in New York City receives a yearly pension of about $200 from the estate of Charless. II. Two hundred and fifty-some years ago one of the laundryman's ancestors con- cealed the king after his defeat at the battle of Worcester, and that night Charles was able to make his escape in disguise. "At his restoration the king gave his saviour a pension in perpetuity of a hundred marks, which today am- ounts to almost fifty pounds. Regular- ly every year an old firm of London solicitors receives this sum from the trustees of King Charles's estate and pays it over to the most direct living descendant of the king's benefactor, though he and his forebears have long since been American-born and not sub- ject to the kings of England." Extraordinary! A peep at John D. Rockefeller playing a round of golf is given by John T. Flynn (in God's Gold: John D. Rockefeller and His Times"): "He had the usual difficulty keep- ing his eye on the ball," says Flynn. "Hence his caddy was Instructed to stand in front of him as he prepared to swing repeating over and over, 'Keep your head down! Keep your head down!" Those who have played with him are a unit in saying that Rockefeller is scrupulous in report- ing his score. He never fools him- self, Rockefeller himself complained to a friend 'that he was sorry to say he had met ministers who did not hesitate to cheat a h't 'on the links.' " The best golf score ever made by Mr. Rockefeller is 39 for nine holes, according to Mr. Flynn.

But ye will not let me, and I take it hard o' ye." Those who have heard Sir- Harry sing "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" will understand--if not appre- clate--his yearning. Mention of Harry Lauder reminds me of a story told by his old friend Sir Thomas Lipton (in "Lipton's Autobiography.") It seems that Lau- der on his professional visits to Lon- don more often than not, lived with Sir Thomas and made himself at home, "It was very amusing to hear him give his pointed instructions to 'John,' one of my Cingalese servants," says Lipton, and he adds, jocularly: "I sometimes thought that John and the other servants were not very sure who was 'hos o' the hoose' at such times-- Sir Harry Lauder or myself! "Once I played a trick on Harry," confesses Sir Thomas, "Usually he had one of my cars to drive him to and from the London theatres where he was working because, as he him- self explained, it' was not worthwhile bringing his own car from Scotland for a week or two only! So one evening I arranged that instead of the usual limousine one of the factory delivery vans would be waiting for him when he finished his last 'show.'

The score was made October 30, 1912, and is vouched for by a friend who has played over 0500 games with Mr. Rockefeller. "One of the funniest jokes I've ever heard," chuckles Sir Harry Lauder (in "Wee Drapples"--a cheery little book), "concerns a certain noble lord. Perhaps I shouldn't tell it, but he himself often repeats it at dinners, so he'll forgive me. "The family name of the Marquess of Linlithgow is Hope. It was some years ago that the then 'Zarquess with his family, entered their local church and walked down the aisle just as the preacher was giving out his text: "'Life is full of blasted hopes.'"

The difference between getting a job and getting a husband these days, giggles Giggling Gertie, is that it is difficult to find a job you can keep and equally as difficult to find a husband who can keep you.

During the day Mrs. Brown dis- charged her old maid and hired a new one, who answered the door bell when Mr, Brown arrived home in the even- ing. He carried a bunch of roses, which he handed to the maid, saying: Mr. Brown--"Present these to Mrs. Brown, telling her I want to see her at once." New Maid--"All right, but you bet- ter make it snappy, because she ex- pects the old man any minute now." The following amusing epitaph was noticed on the tombstone of Solomon Pease, which was said to have been written by Mr. Pease himself a num- ber of years before his death: Under this sod, and under these trees, Here lies the pod of Solomon Pease; He is not in this hole--it's only his pod, He's shelled out his soul and gone up to God, Flowers of Speech He calls a spade a spade, Does Joe, Save when he drops it On his toe.

A, Building with Glass Walls Constructed in England London, Eng. ~--"Walls all Win- dows" is the way Londoners refer to an outstanding example of modern architecture of the "mushroom" var- jety in the new building being erected for the Boots firm of chemists at Beeston, Nottinghamshire. When com- pleted it will be the largest reinforced concrete building in Engiund--the ap- propriate home of the largest chem- ists in the world. Sir E. Owen Williams, eminent con- culting engineer, was responsible for planning the new building. In doing #0, he said he had aimed at the re- duction of human effort. Except for the steel trusses supporting the main hall roof, the structural work of the building is all in reinforced concrete. It has no walls in the ordinary sen. of the term. "Are walls really neces- sary?" Sir Owen sems to have asked himself, and to have replied, "No, bul window. are" The "walls," there- fore, are large glass windows--foar acres of them. The entire structure is built on the unit principle--a mass production plan, made up of "re peats," which saves the designer and the contractor a lot of work, and Messrs. Boots a great deal of money. The main hall, the chief feature of the building, is now 580 feet long, but will be extended when the building is finished. The floors are constructed on the "mushroom" principle, that is, like great tables (with centre legs) placed side by side. The roof is car ried on steel trusses of 69 feet span, the covering being of concrete slabs 1% inches thick, in which are fixed bull's-eye windows of special design, 80 that they can be readily replaced from the outside if broken.
