'TOOK THE DUKE'S BUTTONS. Gift of His King Was Taken-Rifled 0abin While Feast Went on Merrily. Norfolk, May 21.-Irresponsible American vandalism has found vent in an unexpected manner and, as a consequence of the excessive zeal of the souvenir fiends, his royal high ness, the duke of the Abruzzi, is mourning the loss of the 'gold toilet set given him by his royal cousin, the king of Italy; his olothes brushes, his comb and brush, and almost all the but tons on his numerous uniforms. The articles named, together with some others which no one has cared to name. disappeared one evening last week from the duke's cabin aboard his flagship, the Varse, just after he had given a brilliant entertainment to which a har-o number of guests were bidden. When the evening's .aieties were over. the duke's Cahin looked like a Na as prairie :af,ter a visit from the grasshoppers. Little did the gallant Italian ad miral think as he and his oficers were iraeiously extending the hospi talities of their ship, that the guests. animated by the desire to have an. to hold something that belonged to a real kin. were coyly removing his b. Iongings. Like Little Boy in Swimming. While playing the host so gracious ly. he could not guess that he was soon to he in the plig,ht of the little boy who goes in swimming and leaves his clothes in charge of some practi cal joker. When the royal visitor attempted to dress himself the next morning he realized little by little the extent of his loss. Italian expletives rent the air, while the duke's officers and ser vants were scurrying about the ship on a wild hunt for combs, brushes, needles, thread, pins and buttons. In the meantime, his royal highness was I left like Moses when the lights went. out. Rlough and ready sailorian that he is, good sportsman and gallant ex plorer. the duke has not yet aceus tomed himself to (1o without all thel ordinary conveniences of civilization, and his helplessness in the face of this emergency would have touched any heart but that of a souvenir col lector. Every Garment Buttonless. Of what use is a wardrobe as exten sive as Solomon's if almost every garment in it is buttonless? How can one complete his toilet without the usual toilet implements? Every fresh diseovery of loss was the occasion of a renewed out.burst of ''eussin' ' on the part of tle dutke 's followers, and it is rumored that the royal captain himself joined in the chorus with trui lV royal zeal. When it was bron.-ht home to the duke that his t-ob t oilet articles. emblel ishled with thle armns of t he reiLgningP house of Italy, the gift of the it aIi a n monarebi. were actuanIlly nmissingi. his gief' and rare kne~w no bouni ds.

Charlotte Observer. Abril 26t:h, 1407, three hundred years ago, three tiny English ships, the ''Discovery,'' the ''Godspeed'' and the ''Susan Cosat,'cm rianded by Captain Christopher New 1port and( bearing one hundred sturdy Englishmen, sailed into the entrance of what is now Chesapeako bay, ''which seemed to invite his on trance," passed up the broad river that lay before them, and debarked on a little peninsula thirty miles from its mouth. The- first land that greet ed them in the broad harbor, they called Point Comfort; the river they named James, in. honor of their King, and the little peninsula furnished them a haven after the tempestuous voyage of ever three months they christened Jamestown. Before reach ing the point of dobatkation tradition says the foremost ship bearing the commander of the exposition, touch ed at a point of land jutting out i.nto the roads at the mouth of the James, and the commander went ashore there and offered prayers to God for tile safe ending of their voyage. T.his was the first news of Captain New port that tradition or history gives 11(1 tle beautiful city that has ;prun.g up like ilagic on that histor e site today bears the niame, Newport ews. It was al Jamestown, how 'ver, that the little hand of colonists k..tablished themliselves and there >lited tile first permianietl Eng1lishi Ottlement in the Western world. To his feeble uidertaking in the wild rness. to these one hundred pioneers \merica today owes her pricesless ieritage. For years the colonists struggled 'n against heavy odds. The Indians imongst. whom they found them elves were brave, strong and hostile, mld Powhatan, their great chief, ost no time in displaying all these at ributes to the intruders. For a gen ,ration they were harassed by these avages and to the horrors of Indian varfare were added pestilence and amine. Standing out in bold relief rom the little band that was irought over in the Newport expedi ion was one man, strong, brave, in ired to hardship, a soldier of for uine, Captain John Smith. It was is indomitable spirit that rallied the olonists more than once when des )air had seized upon them; upon urm more than any other the fate of he colonists rested and their ulti nate success devolved. Succeeding Ipeditions from England brought >tler colonists and in 1619 their nmber was 3,500, but disease and [idian treachery had reduced the iinher in 1622 to 1.000 souls. Final y shiploads of respectable young vomiienl were broulght to provide tile Vas to be the first Governor of the olonists with wives and eventually aome Sir George Yeardly, who anists find in this strange land-Po paihontas, daughter of the great chief Powhatan. Not only did she save the leader of the colony from the axe of h1er father. but she continiied to be friend them. and the peace which was established with her marriare to John Rolfe continuiied unbroken until her death in England in 1617. To the leautiful Indian girl and the En-lishman who married her the'col 1nis.4ts owed much, for it was Rolfe wiho introduced what the colony need cd most -a- subist antial indiist ry anid thle cult ivat ion of tobacco was lestined to be thle wealth of tile eol &'ni, and thle chief industry~ of the futu re ?'reat state(.

In 1639 a biek church wa's built and the im ulderinw. m(iss-growni tower of this structurie is all that remains to posterity of the first permanent Eng li1 h IettlementI in America. Fire and fli od ha rassed thle colonists in the li'w eoiur.try long after tis, and fin ally, in 1G9S. the settlement was abaindoneid and thle colonists moved to Williamnsburg.
