low an earl's brother was reduced from tance to compantive poverty was only partially explained at the Brighton inquest on the Hou. Aldiander "Edward Fits- maurice, who ecllapsed and died in lodg inga where he had been living as Maurice."
His brother, the Earl of Orkney, was not present at the inquest, but was represented by a solicitor.

"Mr. Maurice," who was 48 years old and a bachelor," was for many years a well- Enbwa figure in Brighton, where he had lived for the past 18 years. & fow years ago he was known as a wealthy man, and all his old friends spoke of him as being generous and kind-hearted. During the war he lost money which had been invested in Russian stocks, which collapsed follow. ing the Bolshevik upheaval,

Frederick Iravett, a fellow-lodger, told the coronar how he went into "Mr. Maurice's" room to advise him to see a doctor, as he had been very ill.

The case (writes a press correspondent) is by no means an isolated one: "Only two yours ago Lord Wallscourt, an Irish peer of eccentrie habit, died Brighton in relatively obscure sitrous.ling. He may have hid sufficient money to enable him to live comfortably, even In larary but when I knew him as “Joe' Blake he was anything but affluent. After he had had one or two drinks with a friend ("pig's car he used to call his beverage beer) he would casually ask hià entertainer if he had half a crown. If this were not. forthcoming, Joat would be satisfied with a shilling. But though he made a mass of his life, and died at the early age of ki, poor " Joe? Blake was not so black as he was printed:

A FOOD BARONET, Speaking of Lord Wallscourt reminds one of the case of a baronet without a penny. In 1833 long accounts appeared in the papers of the marriage of a lady to Sir Philip Haughton Clarke, eleventh and last baronet of Thirlland, Nottinghamshire. Lord Wallscourt-"Joe" Blake's father- was best man, and much was made of the fact that the bridegroom was a cousin of the Dowager Lady Southampton, Lady-in- Waiting to Queen Victoria."
The bridegroom had not a halfpenny of his own, and gossip said the couple separat ed practically at the church door; "anyway it is a fact that within three years the baronet died in great poverty alfouthutnya ton. The baronetcy, which became extinct with bim, dated from 1617, and the first holder sustained beary losses by his loyalty to Charles I. Several of our baronetcies have fallen on evil times. We have had Bir Charles Dick (a barenst of a creation 1642) begging in Brighton; Sir William Don and Sir Bundal Roberts on the stage. Sir Ban- dal wrote three-volume novels, but at length things became very bad with him, he went blind, and was glad to borrow a few shil- linge from anybody who would lend, or rather give, them.
A Nugent baronet some years ago was dis- coverd following his vocation as an ostler; Sir John Swale kept a little Yorkshire taver; the late Sir Harry Goring, sold tobacco in Tamworth; and Sir Henry Echlig, eighth baronet graciously served kis patrons at the Seven Stars Ins, Bedlow, Boek. Twenty years or so ago there was a baronet, the descendant of a surgeon- sargeant to one of the Georgian sovereigne, so reduced in circumstances, that he had become an inmate of an East End Work house. Sir William--(I refrain from. men- tioning his surname out of consideration for the family) died in 1905, and was suo- ceeded by a nephew who lives in Canada.
Fire, years ago an old-age pensioner appeared at London police court in connection with a begging-fatter caso, and it transpired that the defendant was the son
of an Irish baroseta member of a romantic family, founded by a knight who accompanied King John to Ireland in 1185.
The late Honywood baronet lost every thing, and he died in poverty at Folkestone, in the cottage of a former servant who gave him shelter in adversity.
But it is impossible to deal in a brief article with the vicissitudes of scions of noble families. There was an Irish peer, Lord Kingsland, who because a waiter at- a Dublin hotel, and later a pauper dependent on the Crown's bounty; a Lord Kirkend hright sold gloves for a living. A baronet of long pedigree earned a livelihood as a prizon warder; and Surtees, the historian of Durham, took from Chesterle-Strees, work- house Sir Thomas Conyers, the last baronet of a once wealthy line.
SCHOOLBOYS' POSERS.

The headmaster and teachers of the Strand School, Briston, are notified in the current isme of the school magazine, by A. W. Bolte of some of the things the boys want to know. He writes:
A
The things the master talks about
Are poetry and prove;g But why the trees comes out in May, And why the horses eat the bay,.. Why tides come inshore twice a day, Why miners always want more pay, Why water does not sink through olay. Why convicte try to ran away, Why schoolboys always must obey. Why cats at night are wont to stray, Why thrushes aing and asses tray, Why aged people's hair turns grey,
He never will disclose.

Peps Strengthen "The Weak Spot" & Soon
Banish that
Troublesome
COUGH!
A cough is Nature's way of telling you that
there is something wrong with the throat and breathing tubes-something that the Peps breatheable remedy will speedily put right.
Maybe the delicaté membranes are chilled and sore, or disease germs having found the weak spot, are hard at work producing irritation and inflammation.
To ignore a persistent cough is like paving the way for chronic bronchitis, asthma or other serious chest and lung disease.
You need Peps the true breatheable remedy, which cures the most troublesome cough by removing the calise. When a Peps tablet is swipped. of its silver wrapper and dissolved in the mouth, powerful fumes are liberated. This bealing, germicidal medicine is carried with the breath into the innermost recesses of the lungs. It bathes the lining membranes of The throat and breathing tubes, exterminates disense germs, and speedily removes all irritation and inflammation.
Thus Pepe enable you to end your cough or cold in Nature's way, by breathing in the remedy the same way as the germs causing the trouble were breathed in. Isn't this sounder and more commonsense than dosing the stomach with dangerous drug laden cough-mixtures?
