' London Bridge was as crowded as ever," but in those days there was oniy e frail wooden paling, and frightened cattle often fell through into the water. "All such cattle," says Maj.-Gen, 8ir Qeorge Younghusband, "became the perquisite of the constable. "Scandalmongers of the day went | so far as to suggest that when the | constable was short of meat, and had a banquet in view, he would send | varlets to London Bridge at the bus- fest time, there to create the neces- | sary 'block and confusion, which would cause a few fat kine to fall into the river." First Musical Instrement. The pipe is the earliest musical instrument on record. It appears up- on sculptures dating from 4,000 B.C. The bagpipe itself is referred to by | Chrysostom in 100 A.D. Its appear- ance in the Eritish Isles seems to | have been due to the Picts, but upon | this point there aré™no definite his- | torical records. The Irish troops who | fought In Gascony in 1286 included | pipers, and by the end of the fifteenth | | century three town pipers accompan- ! ied the town drummer of Edinburgh on his round of the city morning and | evening. The tunes then played have come down from father to son, and the Scottish battalions in the Great | War marched into broken French villages to the same strains that their | forbears heard when they fought for the Lilies of France in 1422. Whe- ther the Bruce marched to pipes at Baanockburn or not appears uncet- | tain; but his son David certainly led his men to their etrain, and ever since then 'every Scottish regimént has had its own bagpipes. In the Great War #t was at Neuve Chapelle in March, 1915, that the campany piper had his | first chance of showing his quality. Like Any Other Leg. The bluntness of Gen. Sir William Robertson is admirably illustrated by | a couple of stories told by Col. Rep- | ington in his reminiscences, '"The First World War." i After an exhibition of classieal dancing by Lady Constance Stewart Richardson with bare feet and a Maud Allan costume, he was asked if he did not think she had a very fine leg. "It's just like any other leg," was the reply. : On another occasion he paid a visit to a small type of submarine, in which he could move. "Do you like the life?" he asked ! the commander. "Yes," was the re- | ply. Sir William gaye a grunt, and | | said, "Umph! You're easily pleased." Calm Admonition. | "Guard, are you positive this train { will stop at London?" "Quite half a | dozen times the old lady had asked this question, and the guard began | to lose patience. "Look 'ere, ma'am," he said, "this is an express to Lon- | don, and if we don't ston there, then you'll be in the biggest smash-up you t svar heard of]" In the bright lexicon of youth | there is no such word as "fall," but {there are a lot of synonyms. | Ambition is the thing that boosts a | man up the ladder.

HEY are offering 8% Cumttative Pre- ferred Stock at $100.00 per share, with a bonus of 259% on Common Stock. UR decision to offer this investment to the people of Kingston, was nét made withput consideration. We felt as did Messrs. Jule and Jay J. Allen that it wae greatly to the interest of the Theatre to have the capital investment in it held local- ly. A LL Allen Theatre enterprises have been very successful. HEY have not only paid the Dividends upon their Preferred stock, but the ma- jority of them have shown earnings that would permit of paying substantial Divi- dends upon the Common Stock, in some cases as high as 12%. "HE day is not far distant when money in- terest rates will go lower. When that time comes, it is reasonable to expect that the price of these Preferred shares will go higher. If that is so, not only will your Pre- ferred Share investment in Allen's Kingston Theatre be very desirable and worth more than ygu now pay for it, but your common stock may eventually become worth an 'amount equal to the Preferred stock--if not in excess of it. THERE is nothing to hide in this enterprise --the Theatre itself, its capacity and its attractions are there for all to see and to pass judgment upon. E hope therefore that when our repre- sentative calls upon you, you will give the matter your careful consideration and if you have the funds available, invest. ~ A S it is quite possible we may not call up- on all of the prospective investors in Kingston, we respectfully suggest, there- fore, that if you have not already been call- ed upon, you telephone for one of our repre- sentatives to come and see you, or better still, call in at the office and talk the matter over, ' Wagar r. and Mrs. ¥.
