aristocratic friends. A couple of
years ago private banker Tisdale
was willed by relatives in England
a solid silver tea servicewith the
family crest on. During his recent
visit there Mr. Tisdale was put in -
possession of the heirloom. It was
boxed up and shipped by freight to
Clinton, the package weighing not
more than ten pounds. It has
arrived here and the freight charges
are £5 7s. 61 The weight of a
long line of ancestors that "came in
with the conquest" must have crept
into the package of silver ware to
havejustified this apparently exhor-
bitant freight charge.

how long wduld it take them
