leans living In Britain find unfailing
charm in the quaint old customs and
observance that happen along from
tlmo to time. No almanac records them
and strangers have to be beholden to
well-informed Britishers for pointers in
regard to these survivals.
At Farham. Surrey, occurred a case
that provides sn excellent example of
this state of things. For the 126th year
a venison feast has been held there.
The feast originated In this way. The
fine buck which forms the principal
dish comes from the herd In Farnham
park, and Is the gift of the Bishop of
Winchester, the gift dating from the
episcopate of the Rev. Hon. Brownlow
North. P. P- made Bishop of Winches
ter In 1781.
The story goes that this ecclesiastic
on finding that the eeer were a source
of temptation to the townsmen, prom
ised to present the Farnham folk with
a fat buck every year, on condition that
the mysterious depletion of the herd
ceased. The thefts stopped snd year by
ear since then, a fat buck from Farn
ham pack has been donated to the vir
tuous descendants of the way back pur
lolners. Learned delvers In dry-as-dust rec
ords declare that the Farnham feast
Itself originated in the splendid annual
feasts the bailiffs used to give. If this
Is so. one Joshua Clapshaw. who In 150
protested against the exceslve expen
diture of public money on those Junket
ings, must be slxed up as a true an
cestor of modern enthusiasts who hand
out hot Indignation to "boodlers" In
this year of grace. But for daring to
find fault with the bailiffs, the
worthy man had to write the follow
ing public confession:

and being overruled by passion suf

If the Orting Home Is continued, f 3,-

for the State Board of Control, or In
event the Soldiers' Home at Orting Is
consolidated with the Veterans' Home
at Port Orchard. S3.CO0.C57 will be the
total thG board will ask of the legis
lature at the next session.
In addition the five higher education
at Institutions are asking for a sum in
excess of $2,000,000. These estimates
will be anbmltted by the board to the
Legislature without recommendation.
Combining them, the total is 15.600,000,
which exceeds that appropriated by the
1907 Legislature for the entire state.
The State Board of Control is map
ping out a system of Improvements at
the various state institutions tnat cans
for a big expenditure. New buildings
are wanted at practically every msu
tutlon and the board would like to see
the Port Orchard Veterans' Home deed
ed by the state to the Federal Govern
ment for the establishment of a Na
tlonal home there that would corre
spond to the one at Santa Monica. Cal.
The nroblera of caring for the old sol
dier Is a vexatious one for the board,
as there Is one old soldier for every
116 persons. In 1900 there was one for
every 2770 people, while In 1892 the
ratio was one for every S.984 persons in
the state.
Home Is Overcrowded.
In 1892. 39 veterans were wards of
the state. In 1910 the total was 1044.
The capacity of the Orting Home Is so
overcrowded that the place Is a dis
grace to the state. With acoommoda-

there, or 133 In excess of capacity, and
ITS are on what Is known as the absent

accommodations for 10 men and 20
