They were unable -to -prove "anything against him. Festus, willing to please the. Jews, proposed to end him to Jerusalem for, trial. Paul rebasked Featus- for, this, declar ing that he kaew very " well that he was innocent. .

He saw the claim of Christ upon him but was un willing to yields Sad, indeed, that u man should be so near to eternal lire, and yet lost! Paul took Agrippa seriously.

Fear Day When Motors May Displace Royal " Carriages vt : .' ...v 1 LONDON, What would happen to the : royal - carriages and the coronation coach, should the motor displace the horse, is a question Londoners frequently ask. There are only about 70 horses in the royal mews now, whereas before the war they numbered upwards of 150. . The cream ponies, which were bred at the rbyal stud farm in Hampton Court Park, hare gone; so too have the handsome blacks which had been the admiration of the crowds on state occasion. Only the bays remain. Many citizens have ' expressed the hope that horses would always be used at national junctions. The coronation coach probably would remain at Buckingham Pal ace. It has been used for six coronations and is one of the show sights to all favored visitors. It is drawn by eight horses in red and gold harness. The royal train, which King George and Queen Mary use in traveling about England, is the finest in the country. It consists usually" of H coaehes of the Pull man type, and two engines are em ployed to draw it. Running al ways as a special, the train gen erally is on non-stop schedule Full speed is never maintained after 9 or 10 p. m., so that the motion may be redused to minimum and not disturb slumbers of their majesties. the Former Mexican President fettles to Life on Farm NOGALES, Ariz-rGeneral Al- varo Obregpn, former president of Mexico, is leading the life of farmer.

So confirmed Is the new erdict. according to Mario Signorini, of Milan, train conductor, that con ductors nowadays convict the American on sight as a "black va lise." which is railway vernacular for "no tip." The tourist remains in the shadow of this dreadful appellation until he proves him self Innocent. But, Siguor Signorini hastens to explain, the American is not real ly ,a miser. Rather,; he becomes one through a misunderstanding and through what European train conductors consider the machina tions and misrepresentations of tourist agencies in America and England. "These agencies," declares Sig norini. "sell tickets to tourists on the assumption that all expenses are Included in the purchase price. While they may not say this, they intimate it and the tour ists make up their traveling budg ets accordingly. Many tourists especially those of the middle class who now travel in great numbers, work out their economic plans on this assumption.
