The story concerns the first D::se of Buckingham, favorite of Charles 1, but highly un- w':;pular with the British people, Ee was assassinated by a dis- c':rtented Army officer named J_71n. Felton, and the ghost -tale riF:.Is with this murder. There was a Mr. Towes, sur. - veer of works at Windsor Castle, veers had been at school with Sir Ge.-,rge Villiers, father of the `:,.:ice. Early one morning Towes 'fess= surprised by the apparition of his old friend, who had been dead and buried for some time. Sedd the ghost: "I am dead, but csenot reet in peace for the ahem.inable wickedness of my see George. I appear to you to :e;” you of this and to ask you to go to George and exhort him 'desist from his evil ways" Towes was naturally shy of fans; int; such a message to the 1xverful favorite, but eventually did so --- and was laughed at. The apparition came again, and tip:.; time predicted that the Duke weeld be stabbed fatally within three months. Sure enough he v:•. -,r.

Living in the Palace wr.e two beautiful ladies, the Duchess de Mazarin and Madame de Beauclair. Each had her hesedsome set of apartments; but it. ::•as soon noticed by other in- n:a>es of the ancient palace that the two French -women seemed to fling together, and hardly spr :e to anyone else. ran several occasions they dis- c,::.. ed the after -life, and took it so seriously that a solemn pact vas. made, namely, that whoever die:: first should return and give ar . ccount of the next world. Tee duchess died first. Several yes 's pas_ed and still she did not re'tern. Her friend was very areery, and declared that the failere of the duchess to keep her promise had destroyed her be';.f in futurity. Then an English friend—a 11Irs, Weed -•- was hastily summoned from the card -table late one night and told not to delay if she wished to see Madame de Beauclair alive,' `110 her "gxrVat.'"ititOeise her friend showed no sigh of i11 - health, and Mrs. Wood. was in- clined to resent being fetched from her game for nothing, But Madame de Beauclair turned her anger to anxiety by declaring that she had seen the phantom of the Duchess de Mazarin. "Beauelair," the spirit is report- ed to have said, "between twelve and one this night you will be with me." It was then nearly midnight. Suddenly her face changed and she cried out, "Oh, I am sick at heart" Within half an hour she was dead. One of the legends of Hamp- ton Court Palace concerns Cath- erine Howard, ill-fated queen .of Henry VIII, who is supposed to run shrieking through the corridors. But a lesser known story concerns — like that of the Duchess de Mazarin and Madame de Beauclair • — two devoted friends. One 'of them, having married a German baron following the death of her first husband, went to live in Germany with her little girl, Maud. The other lady was granted a residence at Hampton Court Palace. She was going quietly to bed one night when up the wide stairscase opposite her chamber door came, without a sound, the figure of a lady in black, with white kid gloves. She trembled with fear, unable to stir or speak Suddenly, as the apparition neared her, she lel out a shriek which rang through the Palace, and fell insensible. A few days later a letter reached her from little Maud, telling of the death of the baron- ess, her mother, The seer of the vision hurried to Germany, and in one of the conversations be- tween her and Maud the, child said: "Mamma had a curious fancy. On her death -bed she made the baron promise that she should be buried in black --with white kid gloves." The baroness died on the ninth of November, the date upon which her friend s a w the appari tion. OCk Lays Oeuf Reports come from France that American prestige bas hit an all -time -low since the war, and the reporters are inclined to blame it all on Secretary Dulles and his handling of the Suez crisis. But don't you believe it! Another report from Paris that should land on the entertainment page debunks this slander against the globe-trotting secre- tary. Rock 'rt' Roll has hit there! And the Parisians don't dig it at all. When the classic movie. "Rock Around the Clock," was pre - o iered an the Champs Elysees last week its reception was cool, roan, cool.. The audience sat through it in polite amusement, which is not the wayeto receive Rock 'n' Roll, Nobody manned the fire hoses, as they had done in England; nobody danced in the streets, as Parisians often do in ecstatic state Nobody frenzied. "France is such a calin ccuntry," explained a Parisian theatre manager, rubbing it into its Anglo-Saxon hotheads. Meanwhile, a French radio re- porter asked a number of Par- isians - on • the - rue what they thought of Rock 'n' Roll. One thought it was a fish cooked in tomato sauce.

Take a minute to check against these major threats to the safety of your family and resolve to el- iminate them. now. Falls are the leading hazard to farm people in all regions; they account for one-fourth of the ac- cidents. Disorder can be a cause for falls — toys, tools and equip- 'ment left lying about. Remove the things you can trip over, slip on or fall from. Provide proper storage places for these and you remove many a poten- tial accident. Make sure that ,,.teems are fastened securely.

A law has just been passed re- quiring manufacturers, within tiie next two years, to put a safe- ty device on refrigerators to pre- vent a child from being locked in.

Make it your business to keep small tots sfrom playing near tractors, cornpickers and shel- ters and from wandering about without supervision. Keep them from jumping on or nit machines to prevent the chances of lop- pling.

They are safe, and save time, money and man- power when used for these pin' - poses. But a blasting cap in a child's hand is as dangerous as a rattle- snake. Your youngster wouldn't touch a rattler, teach him to show the same respect for a blasting rap.

The need for greater pre- cautions in handling caps on the farm is readily apparent. Safety authorities offer these suggestions: 1. Never cache caps for fu- ture use. They can be forgotten and years later seriously injure some child. Many accidents can be traced to children finding caps that. have been tucked away in barns, garages, tool sheds and other out -buildings. 2, To reduce this hazard, dis- pose of all unused caps as soon as• the job is finished. Consult your local licensed explosives dealer or county agent on how to dispose of them safely. 3. Teach your children to know a cap at sight. Tell them ai the danger. 4.

This will keep us from being legalists. Then we will have fellowship with' God, to wails humbly with him. This requirement may be stated in different ways but it doesn't change.
