London.—One of the most interest- ing relics of prehistoric times has just come into the possession of the Prince of Wales as Duke of Cornwall in the shape of Maidun castle, the famous prehistoric encampment near Dorches- ter. The encampment was offered for sale by auction, and has been bought by the Duchy of Cornwall at the instl gation of the king. It first came into the market in July last, when it was offered by auction in Dorchester. The bidding started at $5,000 and the prop- erty was withdrawn at $7.126.

It was certainly used by the Romans, who strengthened it with Purbeck stone, and for whom it provided something in the nature of a summer camp.” WOMAN 1S DIVORCED AT FIFTY Painter's Wife to Continue Earning Own Living and Supporting Her Children, New York.—"l am simply a victim, but a loving and willing victim, of so- clal conditions, said Mrs. Sarah Me- Donald Sheridan, intimate friend of President Wilson and his family, in commenting on the divorce granted her husband at Reno. Mrs. Sheridan was found in the beautiful apartment of her daughter at Gramercy Park, where she had come after being the guest of Mrs, Wilson for two weeks in the White House. In giving her views of the actlon taken by her husband, her eyes slow- ly filled with tears as she sald: “There is no bitterness of reproach in my heart for my husband. We have been married 33 years and have two beautiful children. My son is Mark Sheridan, twenty-eight years, and my daughter is Mrs. David Cromp- ton. Both are in Europe at present. “Now, that this calamity has come and 1 am fifty years old, I shall just go on with my life as I began it, try- ing to put Into the world all the gifts 1 have; giving to the world all my sympathy and service. “My husband is Charles Oscar Sher idan, a painter, formerly of New York. He went west four years ago because his sight was failing. He has to stay out in the sunshine all the time. 1 could not follow because of the necessity of earning my living, as | have always done, to help him. I could have placed obstacles in his way and prevented his securing his freedom, but that would have vio lated all my principles in life. If he can be happler away from me it {s my duty to contribute in every way to the fullness of his life. “We worked side by side for 33 years, he as a painter, and I as a sing- er, each contributing his quota to the fullness of the other's lite.
