Legend Around Piece of Masonry Says'
British Capital Will Last aa
Long as Rock la
Preserved..
, London. Visitors to the world's me
tropolis usually ' take great interest
in a. curious piece of stone, let into the
side of a wall in Cannon street. Just
around the corner from tbe Dank of
England. It is an unpretentious mor
sel, and above it is tbe brief legend,
"London Stone." Tbe two words s!g
nlfy a great deal In the first place,
tbls is tbe oldest piece of famous ma
sonry in England, if not in Europe.
As for its ancient history, it is said
to bare figured in the Trojan war, for
tbe exact date of which kindly refer
to Mr. Homer, who has written exten
alvely on tbe subject
! Carefully screened behind an iron
grating fixed to the south wall of St
Switbln's .church Is the blackened and
- crumbling old relic, which Is not only
supposed to date back to tbe very
foundation of London, but to act aa its
. palladium, or safeguard.
,; ,.- Tradition declares that tbe stone
was brought from Troy by Brutus, and
laid by his own band as the altar
stone of the Temple to Diana.
"So long as the stone of Brutus Is
safe, so long will London flourish,'
;K says the legend.
r t uomui; 11 una uceu loifcci viu
stone has been so jealously guarded
through tbe centuries.
, Many and various have-been tbe
suppositions put forward as to tbe
- - origin and use of this landmark, but
tbe one now most generally accepted
Is . that it was tbe old Roman "mil
larlum," or milestone, from which, like
the one In the Forum at Rome, all dis
tances were measured.
.Watllng street, of which Cannon
treet is a continuation, is supposed
to have been the principal street of
Roman London, and, according to Malt-
land, tbe historian, tbe stone was
placed at tbe conjunction of tbe mill
tary roads.
- Stow, tbe ancient London historian.
states that in his day tbe stone was
on tbe south side of tbe street "It
-was fixed In tbe ground very deep,
fastened wtth bars of iron, and other
wise so strongly set that if carts do

. run against it through negligence, the
wheels are broken and tbe stone Itself
unshaken." .
- Some of the public uses to which It
was put were as follows: TD A mark
in tbe middle of tbe city within the
' wall; (2) a place for tbe payment by
debtors to their creditors at appointed
days and times (afterwards made at
the font in St Paul's and then at the
Royal Exchange): (S) a testimony to
the city's devotion to Christ tbe
stone typifying its divine foundation.
It was likely that upon .thls.stoae
all public proclamations were made to
the people; In support of which Stow
quotes the fact that tbe rebel -Jack
Cade, who said be waa Mortimer, earl
of March, rode up to London Stone,
upon which be struck his sword, say
ing: "Now Is Mortimer lord of tbls
city." .
This was probably in v accordance
with the tradition that tbe old Brit
ish kings took their oaths of accession
upon London Stone, and until they did
so were only kings presumptive.
Before tbe fire of London the stone
was "much worn away, and, s It were,
but a stump remaining." . It was then
cased over by. Sir Christopher Wren,
builder of St Psul's cathedral, with
a new stone, bandsomesly wrought
end hollowed so as to contain the , an
cient relic. ' ' : ;
. In -1742 the stone was .removed to
the north side near tbe curb; on, ac
count of its proving an obstruction In
ta old position." .Fifty-six years laXer,
shea Gt Swljhln's .church wss about
to be repaired, tbe old landmark was
doomed to destruction, but .happily,

. Fishing Extraordinary.
Representative Flood of Virginia
tells a good story' in which one of
the characters was Gen. Reuben Lind
say Walker of the confederate army.
On one occasion the general was wait

negro servant had gone to catch some
fish for the feast When the servant
was away -an unusually long time the
general called to him impatiently:
"Why dont you come here with that
fish, Sam?"
. Sam In the meantime had caught a
flounder, which Is white on one side,
with a whiteness that looks like raw

"'All right, Massa Reuben!" called
out Sam. "I'se comln' des ex soon ez

FLENCH authors have written
many lively tales, which be
cause of false conventional
; modesty, have been. Until recent
translations, unknown to those
who read only English. Prudish
modesty and unfair prejudice
have deprived us of the merriest
and liveliest tales ever written.
Maupassant was the one man in
France who, because of his en
vironment and temperament,
could write truly the realistic
scenes of REAL PARISIAN
LIFE so fascinatingly as to rivet
your attention to hu merry tales,
to the exclusion of everything else.
Maupassant's eventful career
eve bim ideas, situations and
:al color for his unsurpassed
stories. Strong in imagination, overflowing with natural enthusiasm and passion in
bis study of human life and phases of human condtictinra really wppenbg .
not aa we imagine they might or as we would-BUT THE REAL DOlNGS OF
LIFE is what Maupassant always gives us. ... . . ' .
Poe describes the unusual, the unnatural, the impossible; Maupassant, the real,
the natural, the possible, holding a mirror up to nature. ' His dramatic instinct, his
situations and his climaxes are overwhelming. He always fixes Upon the one thing of
most human-soul interest and makes it as vivid as any stage scene. These ab
sorbing stories should be in every library tales of travel, mystery, adven
ture, comedy, pathos aiuf trafedy, love ana remain.
