KING AND DYING...
- SOLDIER.
POIGNANT WAN" INCIDENT,
LONDON, September 27th. A poignantur incident, in which the chief actors were the King and a dying soldier was revealed to-day the Rev: Loalie
Hope of the jed Free Church,
Hantley.
He says that famous surgeon related the story of how a soldier was shot in the spine. The doctor ke lied: "isThe day I was asked if he for anything. wounded I was recommended for the Distinguished Conduct Medal, I would like to give the medal to my wife, before I go west." The doctor wrote to the King who pro- raised to come early on the morrow. The dying man's wife and seven children were summoned by the King, who speaking loud enough to be heard throughout the ward said: This man showed the spirit
that Britain needed. “It is an hon- our to myself to pin on the medal."
The soldier died at midnight.

HOUSE MOVED 80 MILES.
RE-ERECTED NEAR LONDON..
A large Tudor house-oak beans, bricks, and tiles-has been moved 80 miles from Suffolk village and reconstructed on the outskirts of London.
This 14th century building, which, bas had such an adventure, after centuries of peace, formerly stood in the villag street at Bildestoo about 10 miles west of Ipswich.
After it had been unoccupied some little time its owner approach- ed a firm of estate agents and ask- ed them to sell it for him.
The agents suggested that t should be dismantled and Trassem- bied near London where it was more likely to obtain a good price. The owner agreed, and the demoli- tion began.
Describing how the house was moved, Mr. Bernard de Beer, of Mesars de Beer and Son, of Bishop's Stortford, "Hertfordshire, the estate agcats who are acting for the owner, said: I spent a fort- night taking a detailed plan of the house, which was then taken to pieces Ench oak beam was num- bered as it was removed.
One beam weighed about a ton. Nearly all of the others weighed pare than half a tos, The demoli tion "took about a month, and the site for its re-erection was selected near Chigwell, Essex.
The pieces were taken by road in 100 motor-lorry loads. All the timbers were laid round the site and, working according to my plan, the carpenters, re-erected them as the original carpenters must have done centuries ago..
