WHO WAS LYING THERE
Richard Harding Davis had an amusing experience while on a recent visit to England. While motoring through the country his party stopped to see an old church. The native guide was showing the party through, explaining all the points of interest after his own style. 'ln the far corner of this 'ere church,' he said, 'lies William the Conker; be'ind the organ, where yer can't see, are tombs of Guy Fawkes, Robin 'Ood, and Cardinal Wolsey. Now, sir,' he asked, addressing Mr. Davis, 'does that there guide book as I sees you 'ave in your 'and tell yer who.'s lyin' 'ere?' ' No,' replied Mr. Davis, candidly the book says nothing of it, but I can guess.'
