Along the walls are the remains of of people whose ashes are moulder ing In cotlins cut out of solid rock. Some of the old pictures still bang on the decaying walls and are almost obliterated, while the old bell high up la belfry, like "grandfather's clock," has stopped short never to go again. The building has not been used for nearly 100 years, but many tourists go and wander through It with no little Interest. The once beautiful carvings on the outside are almost gone; only a few of the more pro tected ones show the fine architect ure of the long tide of years. Lincoln was at one time three cities or towns In one, each one be ing walled separately. The Druids occupied that part lying along the rivers Fosdyke and Wlthatu. The J j '" ....

He figured out that he could double his earn ing capacity with a Brush and asked his em ployer to get one for him, but his employer who owned a big car, laughed at him told him it would cost too much. 0 1 j So the salesman offered to buy and main tain a lirush at his own expense, if his employer would continue to pivc him the usual livery allowance. His employer agreed. At the end of eighteen months he had saved the cost of his Brush car out of the livery allowance and greatly increased his value to his firm.

VOLSTORFF On The Heights Telephone 283-K Jews occupied the next land adjoin- lng, which extended upon the hill nlde, and the Protectant occupied the more level ground on top of the bill and adjoining that of the Jew. At the going down of the nun they each gathered tbelr little (lock liiHlile of the walls aud closed their gate against the enemy aud the outside world. The Jews at that time were the stronger of the three divisions. They bac their temples and their courts. They manufactured much Jewelry and fine fabrics. On the outside of their court there is etlll to be seen the fireplace In which lurge bullocks were roasted during Jubilees. The cities have all become one and most of the division walls have leen torn away and used for other purposes, except. In places where much of the old outside walls may be seen, and the old Itoman arch known as Newport arch also re mains. One may still pass through the l"eye of the needle" as of long years ago. 1 be old Jewisti temple is now used for a theater building. St. Peter's cathedral, legated high on the side hill, bus taken the place of edd St. Benedict's, and Is a very In teresting edifice. By our guide we were next shown the church of St. Mary Magdalene, which Is properly called the Lincoln cathedral. It was commenced In 1020 and completed In 1 !. That year was a memorable one for Lin coln, for a great earthquake rent It, killing many people. It Is said that many artisans were brought from other countries to work on the build ing and they were paid one penny a day for their labor, being strongly guarded by day and locked In en closures at night. t that time It Is said that one could buy a sheep for one penny or a bullock for four pennies, so that the laborer received about enough wages to puy for bis food. The Cathedral and other buildings connected with It cover about five acres, aud the luclosure around It only three acres. All Is surrounded by a strong wall about 12 feet high. There are five entries and each en trance was protected by two massive stone gate houses, but only a few of them are now standing, and like most of the walls In those coun tries are covered with pieces of brok en glass, which mikes It almost Im possible to climb over them. In one comer of the yard Is a gran ite statue of Tennyson, who, while making his home Id Lincoln, In bis earlier days used to tramp through the country lagging his living, while he studied his books aud did his writ lug, but he Is burled In St. Paul's Cathedral In London. "Big Tom," the main Ik-11 of this cathedral. Is very large and strikes every half hour. The chime bells ring out In beautiful tones and require eight men to ring them. Cromwell stabled his horses In this cathedral during the siege of Lincoln and the storming of the great castle which Is just across the street and which was erected by William, the Couqueror, It was taken by Cromwell after five days of storm end bloodshed. This castle and grounds cover six and one-half acres, and Is walled In by a thick stone wall 20 to 60 feet high. The work of the walls and castle was done by Normans and Saxons, their work being entirely different. There are many portholds and em brasures In the walls and towers. Along some of the higher walls there were also false walls, so constructed that they could le thrown down on an enemy nt a given signal. In on old bishop's tower and abode la another walled I tic I os lire there were a great tunny white pigeons and our guide Informed us that, accord ing to legend, a good bishop once announced to his Hock that on a cer tain time many angels would come and hover over ami around 1.1s abode. When all the people had as sembled outside of the wall one night, the bishop had a Hock of pigeons turned loose. They Hew and hovered overjand about the towerf which ever since that has been the home of great numbers of the snow-white birds. We were show n several other places of much Interest and then our guide took us to a peculiar looking two story structure located on the high hill overlooking the great expnnse of surrounding country. This building had several rooms on the second Hoor but on the first there were only two rooms and the Honrs were of flat flagstone with many Homan Inscrip tions. On each side of the door on the outside there was a stone slab Is-arlng Itoman Inscriptions, and over the door there was a sign "Adam ami Kve's Inn " but after looking nround I came to the conclusion. that they wereboth out.

U. & N. Company to be In readiness to handle about 100 car loads of strawberries from Hood Hlver this spring In case weather con ditions are favorable. An Increased production of about 50 per cent over that of last year Is expected. Records kept by J. II. Fredrlcy.the local agent, for last year when condi tions were unfavorable for a large crop, show that vs carloads were shipped and the shipments by express were sufficient to bring the total up to 101 carloads. They were shipped to points In North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and as far east as Duluth. Carload shipments were also made by the Davidson Fruit Company to Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba, thus demonstrating the remarkable keeping qualities of the local berries. The Hood IMver lurries mature much earlier than those In the middle west and the demand for them always ex ceeds the supply.
