SEZ Nid \ MARCH 21, 1908. TO ENTERTAIN KING. Will Cost Mrs. Lulu V. Harcourt About $5,000. London, March 21.-Mrs. "Lulu" ¥. Harcourt (born Burns, and a niece of J. Pierpont Morgan), has received an intimation that the king will hon- or her with a week-end visit to Mune ham, the magnificent seat of the Har court family, some time during the summer. Nunecham has been literally trans. formed by Mrs. Harcourt. It was an d-fashioned place with no lighting or ting apparatus and hideously fur nished. To-day it is a palace of elec: tric light and radiators, and is * fur. nished throughout with exquisite taste. A week-end visit from the king us. ually entails a sum of about 0. Special arrangements have to be mad Din the telegraph and 'telephone direct into the suite occupied by the king, a special chef and staff are im- ported, the king's favorite wines and cigars are ordered, the gardens are illuminated and a band i engaged. Mrs. Harcourt stands out from the pather uninteresting ranks of liberal hostesses by reason of her smart dressing, her tact and her instinctive aptitude for entertaining, while her husband is the most popular man in the House of Commons with both par ties. -- ------ WIN NOTABLE VICTORY. Court Orders Evicted Families Restored to Homes. London, March 21.--The Irish ten- ants of Lord Clanicarde have won a notabie victory in the courts. Clan- ricarde did everything to prevent the carrying out on his estate of the evicted tenants' act which provided for non-payment of rent. This case marks the end of the fa- mous struggle on the Woodford es- tate which has lasted' sinpe 1886. At present the tenants are living in huts on the roadside. but they must now be restored to their old homes. Childhood Indigestion. The baby who sufiers from indiges- tion is simply starving to death. It loses all desire for food and the little it does take does it no good; the child is pedvish, cross and restless, and the mother feels worn out in edring for it. Baby's Own Tablets always cure in- digestion, And make the child sigep healthily and naturally. Mrs. Gedrge Howell, Sandy Beach, Que., says' "My baby suffered from indigestion, -- and vomiting, and ied day and ight, but after giving Baby's Own Tablets the trouble disappeared and he is now a healthy child" The Tablets will care all the minor ail ments of babyhood and childhood.

Early in the morning Predoni and his daughter were approaching the pummit of the Fraele pass, when they were overtaken Dy a thick mist, in which they lost their way, and took the precaution to rope themselves to- gether. For an hour they wandered on the mountain, when suddenly Pre doni, who was leadin~ fell over 4 ipice, jerking his daughter off her eet. By means of her ice axe Rose stopped herself from being dragged over the precipice where her father was dangling suspended in mid-air He could not reach the precipitous gide of the slope to lessen the strain on the rope, and, as their cries for help remained unanswered for "hours, Predoni beewod his daughter to cut the rope and save herself, but this she refused to do. Another half hour passed, and as the mist cleared Rose saw the three other smu~vlers climb- the mountain. Her cries were heard. and the smugglérs rescued Predoni and his brave daughter, who lost her senses on being untied, and was car ried down the mountain FINISHES RIDE OF YEAR.
